Leased Premises		(a) Landlord does hereby demise and lease to Tenant and Tenant does hereby rent and lease from Landlord the Leased Premises (excluding the roof and the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls thereof) for the Term, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease.
License to Use Common Areas and Facilities		(b) During the Term, Tenant and its employees and invitees, shall have the non-exclusive right, in common with other tenants, occupants and users of the Property, to use the Common Areas and Facilities (as defined below) of the Property. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the non-exclusive use right granted to Tenant and its employees and invitees in and to the Common Areas and Facilities is being granted subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Lease. As used in this Lease, “Common Areas and Facilities” mean those areas and facilities which may be designated by Landlord from time to time in or about the Property for the general use in common by all tenants, occupants and users of the Property and shall include, without limitation, driveways, truckways, entrances, lobbies, exits, loading docks, pedestrian sidewalks, ramps, exterior (and interior) stairways, elevators, parking areas, landscaped areas, and lighting facilities. In addition, although the roof of the Building is not literally part of the Common Areas and Facilities available for use by all tenants, occupants and users of the Property, it will be deemed to be so included for purposes of Landlord’s ability to prescribe rules and regulations regarding same and its inclusion for purposes of Operating Costs (as defined in Schedule “D” attached hereto) reimbursements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not utilize any parking spaces other than the unreserved Permitted Number of Parking Spaces, and such use shall be on an unassigned, “first come-first served” basis during the Term, except that Tenant shall have two reserved parking spaces as set forth in the Basic Lease Information Rider. Tenant and its employees and invitees shall not park in any spaces reserved for another tenant and clearly marked for reserved use. Landlord has and reserves the right to alter the methods used to control parking and the right to establish such controls and rules and regulations (such as parking stickers to be affixed to vehicles) regarding parking that Landlord may deem desirable. Without liability, Landlord will have the right to tow or otherwise remove vehicles improperly parked, blocking ingress or egress lanes, or violating parking rules, at the expense of the offending tenant and/or owner of the vehicle. Tenant’s right to use the parking facilities pursuant to this Lease are subject to the following conditions: (i) Landlord has no obligation to provide a parking attendant and Landlord shall have no liability on account of any loss or damage to any vehicle or the contents thereof, Tenant hereby agreeing to bear the risk of loss for same; and (ii) if and when so requested by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the license plate numbers of any vehicles of Tenant and its employees and invitees using the parking facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not be entitled to charge any additional fees for any parking at the Building during the initial Term of this Lease.
Relocation of Leased Premises		(c) Landlord shall have the right at any time upon one hundred twenty (120) days’ written notice (the “Notice of Relocation”) to relocate the Tenant to other premises in the Building (the “Relocated Premises”) and the following terms and conditions shall be applicable: (i) within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of a Notice of Relocation, Tenant may terminate this Lease without penalty effective on or before the proposed relocation date by providing Landlord written notice of such early termination and Tenant must vacate the Premises on or before ninety (90) days from the date of the Notice of Relocation; (ii) prior to commencing the relocation move, Landlord must obtain Tenant’s written consent to the Relocated Premises, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, wherein a failure to reach agreement on the Relocated Premises, each party being reasonable and acting in good faith, may result in early termination as provided in paragraph (i) above; (iii) the Relocated Premises shall contain approximately the same as, or greater Rentable Area than, the Leased Premises;

[4]

(iv) Landlord shall provide at its expense leasehold improvements in the Relocated Premises equal to the standards of the Leasehold Improvements in the Leased Premises as of the date of the Notice of Relocation, including those changes, improvements or alterations made by Tenant;

(v) Landlord shall pay for the reasonable moving and re-installation costs (if any) from the Leased Premises to the Relocated Premises of Tenant’s moveable trade fixtures, equipment and furnishings;

(vi) as compensation for all other costs, expenses and damages which Tenant may suffer or incur in connection with the relocation including disruption and loss of business, Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the Relocated Premises for the period of the first one (1) month of occupancy shall xxxxx;

(vii) during the remaining Term of this Lease but not including any renewals of the Lease, the Basic Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Additional Rent for the Relocated Premises shall be no greater than the Basic Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Additional Rent for the Leased Premises, notwithstanding the Relocated Premises may contain a greater Rentable Area and if the Relocated Premises is smaller, the Basic Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Additional Rent shall be adjusted accordingly;

(viii) all other terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the Relocated Premises except as are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this sub-paragraph; and

(ix) Tenant agrees to execute an acceptable lease amendment to give effect to the relocation if Tenant agrees to the Relocated Premises as provided above.

2. TERM

Term		(a) This Lease is effective as of the Effective Date, but the Term of this Lease does not commence until the Commencement Date. In the event the Commencement Date is not the first day of the month, the Lease Term shall be extended by so many days as to allow for the Term to end on the last day of the month in which the eighty-eighth (88th) anniversary of the Commencement Date falls.
Delay in Occupancy		(b) Intentionally omitted.
Holdover		(c) If, at the expiration of the Term or sooner termination hereof, Tenant shall remain in possession of the Leased Premises (or any portion thereof) without any further written agreement or in circumstances where a tenancy would thereby be created by implication of law or otherwise, a tenancy from year to year shall not be created by implication of law or otherwise, but Tenant shall be deemed to be a monthly tenant only, at the holdover rate of 150% of the monthly Basic Rent due for the Lease Year in which the Term expired or this Lease was earlier terminated, payable monthly in advance to Landlord plus all Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) due for such period, and otherwise upon and subject to the same terms and conditions as herein contained, excluding, however, any options (defined for purposes of this Section 2(c) only as any: (x) right or option of Tenant to (i) extend or renew the Term, (ii) expand or contract the Leased Premises or (iii) relocate within the Building; and (y) rights of first refusal or first offer or notice (or similar rights) with respect to the lease of other space in the Building or the purchase of any portion of the Building or the Property), inducements or leasehold improvement allowances contained herein, and nothing, including the acceptance of any Rent by Landlord, for periods other than monthly periods, shall extend this Lease to the contrary. Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to apply any moneys received from Tenant in payment of such monthly holdover Rent. Further, in the event that Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Premises (or any portion thereof) after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, without Landlord’s written consent, then Tenant will indemnify Landlord against all damages, costs, expenses, losses and liabilities (including without limitation all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) resulting from any delay in Tenant’s surrendering the entire Leased Premises to Landlord in the condition required hereunder upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, claims made by any succeeding tenants founded on such delay. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Tenant shall holdover after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and Landlord shall desire to regain possession of the Leased Premises promptly at said expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then Landlord, at its sole option, and not in lieu of any other remedies available to Landlord hereunder or at law or in equity, may forthwith re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises ten (10) days after making written demand for possession to Tenant without process, or by any legal process in force, and TENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL NOTICES TO CURE OR VACATE OR TO QUIT THE LEASED PREMISES PROVIDED BY CURRENT OR FUTURE LAW (except for those notices specifically outlined in this Lease or not waivable by law). Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as giving Tenant the right to holdover beyond expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

[5]

3. RENT

Basic Rent		(a) Tenant shall without demand, notice, deduction or right of offset, except as expressly set forth herein, pay to Landlord for every year during the Term the Basic Rent set forth in the BLI Rider, subject to the Abatement. Payments of Basic Rent shall be made in the equal monthly installments set forth in the BLI Rider, each in advance on the first day of each month during the Term, commencing on the Commencement Date, subject to the Abatement.
Additional Rent		(b) Tenant shall without demand, notice, deduction or right of offset pay to Landlord, as additional rent, for every year during the Term the amounts required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Schedules “C” and “D” attached hereto. For purposes of this Lease, “Additional Rent” shall mean those amounts required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Schedules “C” and “D” and any other sums (except for Basic Rent) required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
Payment – Additional Rent		(c) Commencing on January 1, 2021 and thereafter, Additional Rent shall be paid and adjusted with reference to a fiscal period of twelve (12) calendar months (“Fiscal Period”), which shall be a calendar year. Payments of Additional Rent shall be made in equal monthly installments, each in advance on the first day of each month during the Term, commencing on the Commencement Date. Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing of Landlord’s estimate of the Additional Rent to be payable by Tenant during each Fiscal Period (or portion thereof, as the case may be, if applicable at the commencement or end of the Term or because of a change in Fiscal Period) during the Term. Such estimate shall in every case be a reasonable estimate and shall be accompanied by reasonable particulars of the manner in which it was calculated. The Additional Rent payable by Tenant for each Fiscal Period shall be based on Landlord’s estimate as aforesaid and paid in equal monthly installments in advance at the same time as payment of Basic Rent is due hereunder. From time to time, Landlord may re-estimate, on a reasonable basis, the amount of Additional Rent for any Fiscal Period (or portion thereof), in which case Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing of such re-estimate which shall be accompanied by an explanation of the manner in which it was calculated and reason for the re-estimate and fix new equal monthly installments for the remaining balance of such Fiscal Period (or portion thereof). After the end of each such Fiscal Period (or portion thereof), Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement of the actual Additional Rent payable in respect of such Fiscal Period (or portion thereof) and a calculation of the amounts by which the Additional Rent payable by Tenant exceeds or is less than (as the case may be) the aggregate installments paid by Tenant on account of Additional Rent for such Fiscal Period (or portion thereof) (the “Annual Reconciliation”). Within thirty (30) days after the submission of such statement either Tenant shall pay to Landlord any amount by which the amount found payable by Tenant with respect to such Fiscal Period (or portion thereof) exceeds the aggregate of the monthly payments made by Tenant on account thereof during such Fiscal Period (or portion thereof), or Landlord shall pay to Tenant any amount by which the amount found payable as aforesaid is less than the aggregate of such monthly payments. Where the calculation of Additional Rent for a period cannot be determined until after the termination or expiration of this Lease, the obligation of Tenant to pay Additional Rent for the period prior to termination or expiration of this Lease shall survive said termination or expiration and Additional Rent for such period shall be payable by Tenant upon demand by Landlord.
Rent		(d) For purposes of this Lease, “Rent” means all amounts required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease including without limitation Basic Rent and Additional Rent. Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America to Landlord (or such other party designated by Landlord from time to time) as and when due under this Lease at the Rent Payment Address set forth in the BLI Rider (or such other address as Landlord may designate from time to time). No payment by Tenant or acceptance by Landlord of an amount less than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of any other Rent due. No partial payment or endorsement on any check or any letter accompanying such payment of Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, but Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to collect the balance of any Rent due under the terms of this Lease or any late charge or interest assessed against Tenant hereunder. The obligations of Tenant to pay Rent to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations, except as expressly set forth herein. If the Term commences or expires on any day other than the first or the last day of a calendar month, Rent for such fraction of a month shall be apportioned and adjusted based on the number of days in said month. If the Commencement Date does not occur on the first day of a calendar month, then Rent for the first partial month shall be payable on the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the first full calendar month of the Term shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Lease by Tenant to Landlord.

[6]

Late Rent		(e) Other remedies for non-payment of Rent notwithstanding, if any monthly installment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent is not received by Landlord on or before the fifth (5th) day of the month, or if any payment due to Landlord by Tenant which does not have a scheduled due date is not received by Landlord on or before the tenth (10th) day following the date Tenant was invoiced, then a late charge equal to seven percent (7%) of such past due amount shall be immediately due and payable hereunder, and interest shall accrue on all delinquent amounts from the date past due until paid at the lower of a rate of one and one-ha1f (l.5%) percent per month (annual percentage rate = 18%), or the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to pay any late charge or interest on the first late payment of Rent in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, provided Tenant cures such failure to pay within five (5) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord of such failure.
Limitations		(f) The Annual Reconciliation submitted to Tenant under or pursuant to this Lease shall be binding on Tenant and deemed to be accepted by it and shall not be subject to objection by Tenant for any reason unless Tenant gives written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) to Landlord within sixty (60) days of Landlord’s submission of such Annual Reconciliation in dispute and setting out in reasonable detail the reason why such statement, document or writing is in error or otherwise should not be binding on Tenant or that Tenant has not been provided with sufficient information in order to determine the accuracy of the Annual Reconciliation. Upon receipt of the Dispute Notice, Landlord agrees to work in good faith and to provide Tenant with sufficient documentation for Tenant to understand the basis for the Annual Reconciliation amounts. If Tenant disputes the amount of the Additional Rent as aforesaid (as opposed to the inclusion of certain charges), and if such dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers the Dispute Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall cause an audited statement of Additional Rent to be prepared by an independent nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the full amount of Additional Rent demanded by Landlord as a condition precedent to Tenant’s filing of a Dispute Notice and Landlord’s willingness to cause an audited statement of Additional Rent to be prepared by the accountants. The audited statement of Additional Rent as prepared by such accountants shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto, and within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such statement of Additional Rent to the parties by such accountants, Landlord and Tenant shall readjust Additional Rent as contemplated by Section 3(c) above. The cost of preparation of such audited statement shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after demand by Landlord, however, Tenant shall not be responsible to pay such costs if the amount of Additional Rent payable by Tenant as set forth in such audited statement is at least five percent (5%) less than the amount of Additional Rent demanded by Landlord in accordance with the statement delivered to Tenant pursuant to Section 3(c) above. Any dispute shall be limited to the most recent Additional Rent billing. There shall be no dispute permitted for any Additional Rent billing beyond the-then current billing.

4. SECURITY DEPOSIT

Security Deposit		(a) Simultaneously with Tenant’s execution and delivery to Landlord of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Security Deposit as set forth in the BLI to Landlord to stand as security for the payment by Tenant of any and all present and future debts and liabilities of Tenant to Landlord and for the performance by Tenant of all of its obligations arising under or in connection with this Lease (the “Debts, Liabilities and Obligations”). Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and no interest shall accrue on such monies. In the event of Landlord disposing of its interest in this Lease, Landlord shall credit the Security Deposit to its successor and thereupon shall have no liability to Tenant to repay the Security Deposit to Tenant, provided the successor assumes the Landlord’s obligations under the Lease. Subject to the foregoing and to Tenant not being in default under this Lease, Landlord shall repay the Security Deposit to Tenant without interest at the end of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease provided that all Debts, Liabilities and Obligations of Tenant to Landlord are paid and performed in full, failing which Landlord may on notice to Tenant elect to retain the Security Deposit and to apply it in reduction of the Debts, Liabilities and Obligations and Tenant shall remain fully liable Landlord for payment and performance of the remaining Debts, Liabilities and Obligations.
		(b) If an Event of Default shall occur, or if Tenant fails to maintain the Leased Premises in the condition required by this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, without prejudice to any other remedy of Landlord, to apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit toward the cure of such Event of Default or to remedy the condition of the Premises. If Landlord so applies the Security Deposit or any portion thereof before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, upon demand, the amount necessary to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.

[7]

5. GENERAL COVENANTS

Compliance with Law		(i) to comply at its own expense with all governmental laws, regulations and requirements from time to time that pertain to (i) the Leased Premises or the occupation and use thereof, (ii) the condition of the Leasehold Improvements, trade fixtures, furniture and equipment installed by or on behalf of Tenant therein and (iii) the making by Tenant of any repairs, replacements, alterations, additions, changes or improvements therein. Tenant’s obligation to comply with the foregoing shall exclude structural alterations or replacements to the Building shell unless such alterations or repairs are necessitated by Tenant’s particular use of the Leased Premises including without limitation alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant. Landlord shall perform all structural alterations or replacements to the Building shell, the roof and sub-floors as required by governmental laws, regulations and requirements except for any such alterations or replacements for which Tenant is responsible pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence;
Environmental Compliance		(j) To comply with requirements imposed on Tenant pursuant to Schedule “E1” attached to this Lease;
Rules and Regulations		(k) to observe and perform, and to cause its employees, agents, contractors, invitees and others over whom Tenant can reasonably be expected to exercise control to observe and perform, the Rules and Regulations contained in Schedule “E” hereto, and such further and other reasonable rules and regulations and amendments and additions thereto as may hereafter be made by Landlord and notified in writing to Tenant, except that no change or addition may be made that is inconsistent with this Lease unless as may be required by governmental regulation or unless Tenant consents thereto. The imposition of such Rules and Regulations shall not create or imply any obligation of Landlord to enforce them or create any liability of Landlord for their non-enforcement or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that it will not unreasonably discriminate against Tenant in the enforcement of such Rules and Regulations;
Insurance Risks		(l) not to do, omit or permit to be done or omitted to be done upon the Property anything which would cause to be increased Landlord’s cost of insurance or the costs of insurance of another tenant of the Property against perils as to which Landlord or such other tenant has insured or which shall cause any policy of insurance on the Property to be subject to cancellation; and
Signs		(m) not to erect or install any exterior or interior window or door signs or advertising media or window or door lettering, or any signs, placards or advertising on the exterior of the Leased Premises or within the Leased Premises that can be viewed from outside of the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord (which may be withheld by Landlord is its sole and absolute discretion). Any sign(s) or other matter which Tenant may install in or about the Leased Premises with the approval of Landlord shall be maintained in good condition and in compliance with applicable laws, and shall be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and Tenant shall restore the area where the sign or other matter was mounted to its original condition prior to such installation.

7. ASSIGNMENT AND SUB-LETTING

No Assignment and Subletting		(a) Tenant covenants that it will not assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises or mortgage or encumber its interest in this Lease or the Leased Premises or any part thereof, or suffer or permit the occupation of all or any part thereof by others (each of which is a “Transfer”) in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord covenants not to withhold unreasonably (i) as to any assignee, subtenant or occupant (each of which is a “Transferee”) who is in a satisfactory financial condition, agrees to use the Leased Premises for the Permitted Use and is otherwise satisfactory to Landlord, and (ii) as to any portion of the Leased Premises which, in Landlord’s sole judgment, is a proper and rational division of the Leased Premises, subject to Landlord’s right of termination arising under Section 7(b) below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion to: (A) a proposed sublessee or assignee which intends to operate in the Leased Premises: (1) a school or classroom facility use; (2) a training institute; or (3) a doctor’s office or medical facility; (B) an entity which can defend a lawsuit on the basis of sovereign immunity; or (C) any governmental or quasi-governmental entity. The foregoing prohibition against a Transfer shall be construed to include a prohibition against any Transfer by operation of law.
		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and provided Tenant gives Landlord fifteen (15) days prior written notice, Tenant shall be entitled to assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises to any of the following entities (each of which is a “Controlled Tenant”): (i) resulting from the merger of the original1y named Tenant with, or acquisition (including all or substantially all of the assets) by or of, another company, provided such Controlled Tenant shall have a tangible net worth not less than the tangible net worth of Tenant as of the date of this Lease; or (ii) any company that is and remains throughout the Term an affiliate of Tenant. As used in the immediately preceding sentence, an “affiliate” is a company that controls Tenant, is controlled by Tenant or which is controlled by a company that likewise controls Tenant. In connection with any such assignment, Tenant shall cause the Controlled Tenant to execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement whereby the Controlled Tenant agrees to assume all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and to be bound by all the covenants and agreements in this Lease which Tenant has agreed to keep, observe or perform, and whereby the Controlled Tenant agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be binding upon it as if it were the original Tenant hereunder. Together with its required notice to Landlord regarding the proposed transfer to a Controlled Tenant, Tenant shall provide Landlord with supporting documentation confirming to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that the transferee is; in fact, a Controlled Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be released from liability for the obligations under this Lease upon a transfer to a Controlled Tenant, unless the Controlled Tenant meets Landlord’s reasonable credit requirements and assumes all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.
Assignment or Subletting Procedures		(b) Tenant shall not affect a Transfer (other than a Transfer to a Controlled Tenant) unless it shall have first requested and obtained the written consent of Landlord thereto. Any request for consent to a Transfer shall be in writing and accompanied by a copy of the offer certified by Tenant to be true and complete (“Transfer Request”), and Tenant shall furnish to Landlord all information available to Tenant and requested by Landlord as to the responsibility, financial standing and business of the proposed Transferee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by Landlord of such request for consent and of all information which Landlord shall have requested hereunder, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Lease upon delivering written notice to Tenant, if the request from Tenant is to Transfer this Lease or the whole of the Leased Premises, or if the request from Tenant is to Transfer a part of the Leased Premises only, then Landlord can terminate this Lease with respect to such part, in each case as of a termination date to be stipulated in said written notice of termination, which termination date shall be not less than sixty (60) days or more than ninety (90) days following the giving of such notice. If Landlord elects to send such termination notice, Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to withdraw the Transfer Request and continue with the Lease. If Tenant does not withdraw the Transfer Request, Tenant shall surrender the whole or part, as the case may be, of the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease by the date set forth in such notice of termination, and Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned and paid as of the later of the termination date or the date of surrender and, if only a part of the Leased Premises is to be surrendered, then Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall after the later of the termination date or date of surrender xxxxx proportionately. If Landlord consents to a request for Transfer, Tenant shall affect the Transfer substantially upon the terms set out in the offer submitted to and approved by Landlord and not otherwise. Any consent shall be given without prejudice Landlord’s rights under this Lease and shall be limited to the particular Transfer in respect of which it was given and shall not be deemed to be an authorization for or consent to any further or other Transfers. Landlord’s right to recapture the Leased Premises as set forth in this Paragraph shall be inapplicable to a Transfer to a Controlled Tenant.
Excess Transfer Rent		(c) Intentionally deleted.

[10]

Assumption of Obligations		(d) No Transfer shall be effective unless the Transferee shall execute an agreement on Landlord’s form, assuming all the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and shall have paid to Landlord a processing fee of $500.00 together with Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with legal and other consultants.
Tenant’s Continuing Obligations		(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant agrees that any consent to a Transfer shall not thereby release Tenant of its obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the obligations of Tenant until the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
Change of Control		(t) If Tenant at any time is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, it is acknowledged and agreed that the transfer or issuance of any capital stock of the corporation, partnership interests of the partnership or membership interests of the limited liability company, sufficient to transfer effective voting control of the entity in question to other than the shareholder(s), stockholder(s), partners or members having effective voting control of said entity immediately prior to such transfer or issuance, shall be deemed for all purposes of this Section 7 to be a Transfer and accordingly, a violation of this Section 7 respecting assignment of this Lease unless the prior written consent of Landlord is first obtained, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Landlord shall have all of the same rights in respect thereof as though any such transfer or issuing of shares, partnership interest or membership interest or proposed transferring or issuing of shares, partnership interest or membership interest were a Transfer. Landlord shall have access at all times to the stock ledger of Tenant (or such other documents as may be necessary to evidence or document such change in control), and Tenant shall make the same available to Landlord or its representatives upon request, for inspection and copying at all times in order for Landlord to ascertain whether or not there has at any time during the Term been a transfer or issuing of shares, partnership interest or membership interest sufficient to constitute a change in the effective voting control of Tenant. This Section 7(f) shall not apply to Tenant if and for so long as Tenant is a corporation whose shares are listed and traded on any recognized stock exchange in the United States.
		(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be permitted without the written consent of Landlord to effect a Transfer to any tenant currently occupying space in the Property or any prospective tenant that Landlord is then negotiating with or had negotiated with within six (6) months of Tenant’s request for consent to a Transfer.

8. REPAIR AND DAMAGE

Landlord’s Repairs to Property		(a) (i) Landlord covenants with Tenant:
		(A) to keep in a good and reasonable state of repair and decoration the Common Areas and Facilities, the Building (excluding the Leased Premises and premises of other tenants) and the exterior portions of the Building (including foundations, walls and roof) and other structures from time to time forming a part of the Property and affecting its general appearance; and
		(B) to repair, so far as reasonably feasible, and as expeditiously as reasonably feasible, defects in Building standard demising walls within the Leased Premises, structural elements of the Leased Premises and standard mechanical (including HVAC), electrical, plumbing and fire/life safety systems serving the Building generally (if and to the extent that such defects are sufficient to impair Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises while using them in a manner consistent with this Lease). Landlord shall in no event be required to make repairs or replacements to Leasehold Improvements within the Leased Premises made by Tenant, or by Landlord on behalf of Tenant or a prior tenant, or to make repairs to wear and tear within the Leased Premises.
		(ii) Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. If any of the foregoing maintenance or repair is necessitated due to the acts or omissions of Tenant or any employee, agent, contractor or invitee of Tenant, Tenant shall pay the costs of such repairs or maintenance to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the cost thereof. Landlord agrees to take reasonable steps to limit any inconvenience to Tenant by virtue of performing its obligations hereunder. Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable notice in the event it requires to do work within the Premises, unless the work is the result of an emergency involving imminent damage to persons or property. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any interruption of Tenant’s business or inconvenience caused due to any work performed in the Leased Premises pursuant to Landlord’s rights and obligations under this Lease.

[11]

		(iii) The cost of any repairs or replacements made by Landlord hereunder shall be included in Operating Costs, subject to the terms and limitations set forth on Schedule “D” attached hereto.
Tenant’s Repairs to Leased Premises		(b) Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense and at all times throughout the Term (except insofar as the obligation to repair rests upon Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(a)(i) above), keep and maintain in good order, repair (including making replacements, as necessary) the whole of the Leased Premises and every part thereof (including without limitation all Leasehold Improvements, systems and facilities located therein that solely serve the Premises), reasonable wear and tear and damage due to casualty excepted. Additionally, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense and at all times throughout the Term, keep and maintain in good order, repair (including making replacements, as necessary) any utility, mechanical and other equipment and/or installations located outside the Leased Premises that are solely for the benefit of Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.
Entry by Landlord		(c) Landlord and its agents shall be entitled at all reasonable times during the Term to enter the Leased Premises to inspect the condition thereof upon giving prior verbal notice (however no notice shall be required in case of emergency involving imminent damage to persons or property). Where an inspection reveals that repairs or replacements are necessary and such repairs or replacements are the obligation of Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice thereof, and promptly thereafter Tenant will proceed to make all necessary repairs or replacements in a good and workmanlike manner and to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, so as to complete same within a reasonable time-frame under the circumstances. The failure by Landlord to give notice shall not relieve Tenant from any of its obligations to repair or replace in accordance with the provisions hereof. If Tenant refuses or neglects to repair promptly and to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord as required pursuant to this Section 8(c), Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such repairs or replacements without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage which may occur to Tenant’s property or to Tenant’s business by reason thereof and upon completion, Tenant shall pay upon demand Landlord’s out-of-pocket actual cost for making any such repairs or replacements plus an administrative charge in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost thereof. Tenant agrees that the making of any repairs or replacements by Landlord pursuant to this subsection 8(c) is not a re-entry or a breach of any covenant for quiet enjoyment contained in this Lease. Except in case of emergency involving imminent damage to persons or property, Landlord agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to perform such repairs in the Leased Premises in a manner that will prevent unreasonable interference with Tenant’s business; provided, however, this shall not be construed to require Landlord to perform repairs during Tenant’s non-business hours or on weekends.
Notice by Tenant		(d) Tenant shall, when it becomes aware of same, or when Tenant, acting reasonably, should have become aware of same, notify Landlord of any damage to, or deficiency or defect in any part of the Leased Premises or other portion of the Property, and any equipment or utility systems, or any installation located therein, notwithstanding the fact that Landlord may have no obligation with respect to same.
Damage and Destruction		(e) It is agreed between Landlord and Tenant that:
		(i) if the Leased Premises or Property are damaged by fire or other casualty and if the damage is such that the Leased Premises or any substantial part thereof is rendered not reasonably capable of use and occupancy by Tenant for the purposes of its business for any period of time in excess of ten (10) consecutive days, then
		(A) unless the damage was caused by the fault or negligence of Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, invitees or others under its control, from the date of occurrence of the damage until Landlord has completed the repairs required of Landlord hereunder, the Rent payable pursuant to this Lease shall xxxxx from time to time in proportion to the part or parts of the Leased Premises damaged and not reasonably capable of use and occupancy and which in fact are not used by Tenant, and
		(B) unless this Lease is terminated as hereinafter provided, Landlord and/or Tenant as the case may be (according to the nature of the damage and their respective obligations to repair as provided in Sections 8(a) and 8(b) above) shall repair such damage with all reasonable diligence;

[12]

(ii) if the Premises or Property are damaged by fire or other casualty and the damage is such that the Leased Premises are rendered untenantable, in whole or in part, and if, in the opinion of Landlord, the damage cannot be repaired with reasonable diligence within one hundred fifty (150) days from the occurrence of the damage, or if the damage is not covered by Landlord’s property insurance, or if Landlord’s lender requires that applicable insurance proceeds be applied to its loan rather than being used for reconstruction, or if said damage or destruction occurs within the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then in any of the foregoing events Landlord may, within thirty (30) days after the date of the damage, terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant. Upon Landlord giving such notice, this Lease shall be terminated as of the date of the damage, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises as otherwise required by this Lease on expiration of the Term and the Rent and all other payments for which Tenant is liable under the terms of this Lease shall be apportioned and paid full to the date of the damage;

(iii) Landlord shall not be required to use plans and specifications and working drawings used in the original construction of the Building and nothing in this subsection requires Landlord to rebuild the Building in the condition and state that existed before the damage, but the Building, as rebuilt, will have reasonably similar facilities and services to those in the Building prior to the damage;

(iv) if premises whether of Tenant or other tenants of the Property comprising in the aggregate half or more of the total number of square feet of rentable office area in the Property or half or more of the total number of square feet of rentable office area in the Building (as determined by Landlord) or portions of the Property which affect access or services essential thereto, are substantially damaged or destroyed by any cause and if in the reasonable opinion of Landlord the damage cannot reasonably be repaired within one hundred fifty (150) days from the happening of the damage, or if the damage is not covered by Landlord’s property insurance, or if Landlord’s lender requires that applicable insurance proceeds be applied to its loan rather than being used for reconstruction, or if said damage or destruction occurs within the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then in any of the foregoing events Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction, terminate this Lease, in which event neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be required to make any repairs hereunder, and Tenant shall instead deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord with reasonable diligence but in any event within ninety (90) days after delivery of such notice of termination, and Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date upon which Tenant surrenders possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord (but subject to any abatement to which Tenant may be entitled under Section 7(e)(i)(A) above); and

(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event Landlord does not complete its required restoration of the Leased Premises within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the casualty, Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written.

9. INSURANCE AND LIABILITY

Landlord’s Insurance		(a) Landlord shall take out and keep in force during the Term insurance with respect to the Property (excluding Leasehold Improvements in the Leased Premises and anything required to be insured by Tenant hereunder). The insurance to be maintained by Landlord shall be in respect of perils and in amounts and on terms and conditions which from time to time are insurable at a reasonable premium and which are normally insured by reasonable prudent owners of properties similar to the Property, all as from time to time determined at reasonable intervals by insurance advisors selected by Landlord, and whose opinion shall be conclusive. Unless and until the insurance advisors shall state that any such perils are not customarily insured against by owners of properties similar to the Property, the perils to be insured against by Landlord shall include, without limitation, public liability, boilers and machinery, fire and extended perils and may include at the option of Landlord losses suffered by Landlord in its capacity as Landlord through business interruption.
Tenant’s Insurance		(b) Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, take out and keep in force during the Term:
		(i) commercial general liability insurance on an all occurrence basis with respect to the business carried on, in or from the Leased Premises and Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Leased Premises and of any other part of the Property, with coverage for any one occurrence or claim of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) or such other amount as Landlord may reasonably require upon not less than one (1) months’ notice at any time during the Term, which insurance shall include Landlord (as well as any mortgagee of Landlord and any other party reasonably designated by Landlord) as an additional insured and shall contain a cross liability clause protecting Landlord in respect of claims by Tenant as if Landlord were separately insured;

[13]

		(ii) “Causes of Loss - Special Form” property insurance covering the Leasehold Improvements, trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and personal property in the Leased Premises for not less than eighty percent (80%) of the full replacement cost thereof, and which insurance shall include Landlord as a loss payee as its interest may appear;
		(iii) Workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance affording statutory coverage and containing statutory limits with the employer’s liability portion thereof to have minimum limits of $1,000,000.00;
		(iv) business interruption insurance in an amount that will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils insured against under Sections 9(b)(i) and (ii) above and other perils commonly insured against by prudent business owners, or attributable to prevention of access to the Leased Premises for a period of at least eighteen (18) months; and
		(v) insurance against such other perils and in such amounts as Landlord may from time to time reasonably require upon not less than ninety (90) days’ written notice, such requirement to be made on the basis that the required insurance is customary at the time for prudent tenants of properties similar to the Property.
		All insurance required to be maintained by Tenant shall be on terms and with insurers reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, but in any event such insurance shall be maintained with insurance companies with a rating and financial size of not less than A-, X in the most current available “Best’s Insurance Reports”, and licensed to do business in the State in which the Property is located. Each such policy of Tenant shall: (A) be written as a primary policy which does not contribute to and is not in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry, (B) contain a cross liability clause, and (C) contain an undertaking by the insurer that no material change adverse to Landlord or Tenant will be made, and the policy will not lapse or be cancelled, except after not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord of the intended change, lapse or cancellation. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, annually and if and whenever requested by Landlord, certificates (XXXXX 28 only) or other evidences acceptable to Landlord as to the insurance from time to time effected by Tenant and its renewal or continuation in force, together with evidence as to the method of determination of full replacement cost of the Leasehold Improvements, trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and personal property in the Leased Premises, and if Landlord reasonably concludes that the full replacement cost has been underestimated, Tenant shall arrange for any necessary increase in coverage required under this Section 9(b). If Tenant shall fail to take out, renew and keep in force the insurance required hereunder, or if the evidence of insurance submitted to Landlord is unacceptable to Landlord (or no such evidence of insurance is submitted within five (5) days after request therefor by Landlord), then Landlord may give written notice to Tenant requiring compliance with this Section 9(b) and specifying the respects in which Tenant is not then in compliance with this Section 9(b). If Tenant does not within five (5) days provide appropriate evidence of compliance with this Section 9(b), Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) obtain some or all of the additional coverage or other insurance which Tenant shall have failed to obtain, without prejudice to any other rights of Landlord under this Lease or otherwise, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand all premiums and other reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord to obtain such additional coverage or insurance.
Limitation of Landlord’s Liability		(c) Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any bodily injury to or death of any person, or loss or damage to any property belonging to, Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, licensees or any other person in, on or about the Property unless resulting from the actual willful misconduct of Landlord or its own employees. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any damage, including direct, indirect, special or consequential damage, which is caused by steam, water, rain or snow or other thing which may leak into, issue or flow from any part of the Property or from the pipes or plumbing works, including the sprinkler system (if any) therein or from any other place or for any damage caused by or attributable to the condition or arrangement of any electric or other wiring or of sprinkler heads (if any) or for any such damage caused by anything done or omitted by Tenant or any other tenant or user of the Property (or any of their employees, agents, contractors, customers or invitees).

[14]

Indemnity of Landlord		(d) Except with respect to claims waived under Section 9(e), Tenant agrees to indemnify and save harmless Landlord from and against:
		(i) all claims for bodily injury or death, property damage or other loss or damage arising from within the Leased Premises or the conduct of any work or any act or omission of Tenant or any Transferee, agent, employee, contractor, invitee or licensee of Tenant, and in respect of all actual costs (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, through all appeals), expenses and liabilities incurred by Landlord in connection with or arising out of all such claims including without limitation the expenses of any action or proceeding pertaining thereto; and
		(ii) any loss, cost (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, through all appeals), expense or damage suffered by Landlord arising from any breach by Tenant of any of its covenants and obligations under this Lease.
		The indemnity obligations of Tenant hereunder shall survive expiration or termination of the Term.
Waiver of Subrogation		(e) Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant each, on behalf of themselves and their respective heirs, successors, legal representatives, assigns and insurers, hereby (i) waives any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against the other and their respective officers, directors, partners, shareholders, agents, servants, employees, guests, licensees or invitees for any property loss or damage that may occur to the Leased Premises or other portion of the Property, or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause which is of the type insurable under “Causes of Loss Special Form” property insurance, irrespective of whether Landlord or Tenant actually maintains such insurance and regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of the other party hereto or its respective officers, directors, partners, shareholders, agents, servants, employees, guests, licensees or invitees, and (ii) covenants that no insurer under any property insurance maintained by Landlord or Tenant shall hold any right of subrogation against such other party. If the respective insurer of Landlord and Tenant does not permit such a waiver without an appropriate endorsement to such party’s insurance policy, then Landlord and Tenant each shall notify its insurer of the waiver set forth herein and secure from such insurer an appropriate endorsement to its respective insurance policy with respect to such waiver.

10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Events of Default		(a) The occurrence of any of the following events shall be deemed an “Event of Default”:
		(i) Tenant shall have failed to pay any installment of Rent or any other amount payable hereunder when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of more than ten (10) days after written notice thereof is sent to Tenant by Landlord; provided, however, if Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent or any other amount payable hereunder when due twice in any twenty-four (24) month period, then any subsequent failure by Tenant within the next twenty-four (24) months to pay any installment of Rent or any other amount payable hereunder when due shall be deemed an Event of Default for purposes of this Lease and Tenant shall not be entitled to any notice or cure period;

		(i) to remedy or attempt to remedy any default of Tenant, and in so doing to make any payments due or alleged to be due by Tenant to third parties and to enter upon the Leased Premises to do any work or other things therein, and in such event all reasonable expenses of Landlord in remedying or attempting to remedy such default (including all reasonable attorney fees and costs and Landlord’s reasonable administrative charge therefor) shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord on demand;

Payment of Rent, etc. on Termination		(c) Upon the giving by Landlord of a notice in writing terminating this Lease under Section 10(b)(iii) above, this Lease and the Term shall terminate, Tenant shall remain liable for and shall pay on demand by Landlord (i) the full amount of all Rent which would have accrued until the date on which this Lease would have expired had such termination not occurred, and any and all damages and expenses incurred by Landlord in re-entering and repossessing the Leased Premises or in making good any default of Tenant, in making any alterations to the Leased Premises, and any and all expenses which Landlord may incur during the occupancy of any new tenant, less (ii) the net proceeds of any re-letting of the Leased Premises which has occurred at the time of the aforesaid demand by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the difference between items (i) and (ii) above for the period through and including the date on which this Lease would have expired if it had not been terminated. Landlord shall be entitled to any excess with no credit to Tenant. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, make demand on Tenant as aforesaid on any one or more occasions, and any suit brought by Landlord to enforce collection of such difference for any one (1) month shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to enforce the collection of any difference for any subsequent month or months. In addition to the foregoing, and without regard to whether this Lease has been terminated, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs incurred by Landlord, including reasonable attorney’s fees, with respect to any lawsuit or action instituted or taken by Landlord to enforce the provisions of this Lease. Tenant’s liability shall survive the institution of summary proceedings and the issuance of any warrant hereunder.
		If Landlord determines that it is impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages in connection with the immediately preceding paragraph, then, as an alternative to the remedy set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand, and in addition to all accrued but unpaid Rent existing as of the date of such demand, liquidated and agreed final damages attributable to Landlord’s loss of Rent for the unexpired Term of this Lease for Tenant’s default calculated in accordance with this paragraph. Liquidated damages hereunder shall be an amount equal to the present value (discounted at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum) of the excess, if any, of (i) all Rent payable under this Lease from the date of such demand for what would be the then unexpired Term of this Lease in the absence of such termination, less (ii) the then fair market rental value of the Leased Premises (as reasonably determined by Landlord after taking into consideration a reasonable period of time (which shall be deemed no less than eighteen (18) months) in which it would take to repair the Leased Premises, market and relet the Leased Premises), plus (iii) the costs of recovering the Leased Premises (including without limitation the costs incurred to take possession of any furniture or other property in the Leased Premises and to store the same or to sell or otherwise dispose of the same at public or private sale) and restoring Leased Premises to the condition required of Tenant hereunder, and all other expenses incurred by Landlord due to Tenant’s default (including without limitation reasonable attorney fees and costs), plus (iv) interest on all such sums at the highest rate permitted by law; all of which sums shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord. If any law shall limit the amount agreed upon, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such law. Nothing herein shall be construed to affect or prejudice Landlord’s right to prove, and claim in full, unpaid rent accrued prior to termination of this Lease. Upon termination of this Lease and the Term, Tenant shall immediately deliver up possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, then Landlord may after demanding possession immediately re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises.
		(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, only if and for so long as Landlord elects to terminate Tenant’s possession of the Leased Premises but not this Lease, Landlord shall, to the extent required by law, use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages after an Event of Default by Tenant. Landlord’s obligation to mitigate is subject to the following:
		(i) Landlord shall have no obligation to solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Leased Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Leased Premises including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to re-let the Leased Premises free of any claim of Tenant;
		(ii) Landlord shall not be obligated to offer the Leased Premises to any prospective tenant when other Leased Premises in the Building suitable for that prospective tenant’s use are currently available, or will be available within the next six months;
		(iii) Landlord shall not be obligated to lease the Leased Premises to a substitute tenant for a rental less than the current fair market rental then prevailing for similar space in comparable buildings in the same market area as the Building;

[17]

(iv) Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into a new lease under terms and conditions that are unacceptable to Landlord under Landlord’s then current leasing policies for comparable space in the Building;

(v) Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into a lease with any proposed substitute tenant that does not have, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, sufficient financial resources or operating experience to operate the Leased Premises in a first-class manner; and

(vi) Landlord shall not be required to expend any amount of money to alter, remodel, or otherwise make the Leased Premises suitable for use by a substitute tenant unless Tenant pays any such sum to Landlord in advance of Landlord’s execution of a lease with such substitute tenant (which payment shall not be in lieu of any damages or other sums to which Landlord may be entitled to as a result of Tenant’s default under this Lease).

11. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

Common Areas		(a) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Common Areas and Facilities of the Property shall at all times be subject to the exclusive management and control of Landlord. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant specifically acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may change from time to time the dimensions and location of the Common Areas and Facilities, as well as the dimensions, identities, locations and types of any buildings, signs or other improvements in the Property, and Landlord may temporarily close or restrict the use of all or any part of the Common Areas and Facilities of the Property in an emergency, or for security or crowd control purposes, to facilitate tenants moving in or out of the Building, or for the purpose of making repairs, alterations or renovations. Landlord agrees not to alter such Common Areas and Facilities in any manner which would deny reasonable access to the Leased Premises. In the event of any such temporary closure or restriction of use or if changes are made to such Common Areas and Facilities by Landlord, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or any diminution or abatement of Rent and such closures, restriction and changes shall not be deemed to be a constructive or actual eviction or a breach of Landlord’s covenant for quiet enjoyment unless Tenant is denied access to or the use of the Premises as a result of Landlord’s actions with respect to the Common Areas.
Subordination		(b) This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are subject and subordinate to all underlying leases and charges, or mortgages now or hereafter existing (including charges, and mortgages by way of debenture, note, bond, deeds of trust and mortgage and all instruments supplemental thereto) which may now or hereafter affect the Property or any part thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, provided the lessor, chargee, mortgagee or trustee agrees to accept this Lease and Tenant’s rights thereunder following any foreclosure if not in default; and in recognition of the foregoing Tenant agrees that it will, whenever requested, attorn to such lessor, chargee, mortgagee as a tenant upon all the terms of this Lease. Tenant agrees to execute promptly whenever requested by Landlord or by the holder of any such lease, charge, or mortgage an instrument of subordination or attornment, as the case may be, as may be required of it provided it includes a reasonable non-disturbance provision.
Certificates		(c) Within fifteen (15) days after written request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord (and if required by Landlord, to any purchaser, lessor, chargee or mortgagee (including any trustee\or other person designated by Landlord) the following:
		(i) an acknowledgement in writing as to the then status of this Lease, including as to whether it is in full force and effect, is modified or unmodified, confirming the Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder and the state of the accounts between Landlord and Tenant, Tenant is in compliance with its obligations under the Lease, the existence or non-existence of defaults, and any other matters pertaining to this Lease as to which Landlord shall request an acknowledgement; and

[18]

(ii) such financial information concerning Tenant and Tenant’s business operations as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, any prospective purchaser of the Property (or portion thereof including the Leased Premises) or any lessor, chargee or mortgagee.

Any financial information and any acknowledgement delivered pursuant to this Section 11(c) may be relied upon by Landlord, any prospective purchaser of the Property (or portion thereof including the Leased Premises) and any lessor, chargee or mortgagee. If Tenant shall fail to deliver the acknowledgement required by this paragraph within fifteen (15) days after Landlord has requested such acknowledgement, then in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to have certified that this Lease is in full force and effect, it is in compliance with its obligations under this Lease and that Landlord is not in default under this Lease.

Inspection of and Access to the Leased Premises		(d) Except in the case of an emergency, Landlord or its agents will have the right to enter the Leased Premises following reasonable notice to show them to prospective purchasers, lessees or mortgagees. Notice shall not be required for normal scheduled service such as janitorial. Landlord shall make reasonable efforts not to inconvenience Tenant in exercising its rights under this Section 11(d).
Delay		(e) Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, if and whenever and to the extent that either Landlord or Tenant shall be prevented, delayed or restricted in the performance of any obligation hereunder in respect of the supply or provision of any service or utility, the making of any repair, the doing of any work or any other thing by reason of any of the following (“Force Majeure”): (i) strikes or work stoppages; (ii) being unable to obtain any material, service, utility or labor required to perform such obligation; (iii) riots, insurrection, war, acts of God, fire or other casualty; (iv) any statute, law or regulation of, or inability to obtain any permission from any government authority having lawful jurisdiction preventing, delaying or restricting such performance; (v) inability to obtain any necessary governmental permits (including building permit) for construction of Landlord’s Work (only for purposes of this Section 11(e), “Landlord’s Work” means any work that Landlord is required to perform pursuant to Schedule “F”) within thirty (30) days after application for any reason other than Landlord having filed an incomplete application for any of such permits or having filed plans for Landlord’s Work that do not comply with applicable laws; (vi) changes required in the scope of Landlord’s Work by any governmental authority having jurisdiction thereof; or (vii) other unavoidable occurrence, then the time for performance of such obligation shall be extended for the period in which such circumstances operate to prevent, delay or restrict the performance thereof, and the other party to this Lease shall not be entitled to compensation for any inconvenience or nuisance caused thereby. The provisions of this Section 11(e) shall not operate to excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of Rent and shall not operate to extend the Term. Delays or failures to perform resulting from lack of funds shall not be deemed an unavoidable occurrence. If Landlord shall be prevented, delayed or restricted in the fulfillment of any such obligation hereunder by reason of any of the circumstances set out in Section 11(e)(iv), above, and to fulfill such obligation could not, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be completed without substantial additions to or renovations of the Property, Landlord may on sixty (60) days’ written notice to Tenant terminate this Lease.
Waiver		(f) If either Landlord or Tenant shall overlook, excuse, condone or suffer any default, breach, non-observance, improper compliance or non-compliance by the other of any obligation hereunder, this shall not operate as a waiver of such obligation in respect of any continuing or subsequent default, breach, or non-observance, and no such waiver shall be implied but shall only be effective if expressed in writing. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.

[19]

Demolition and Renovation		(g) Intentionally deleted.
Public Taking		(h) Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate, each with the other, in respect of any Public Taking of the Leased Premises or any part thereof so that Tenant may receive the maximum award to which it is entitled in law for relocation costs, business interruption and leasehold interest and so that Landlord may receive the maximum award for all other compensation arising from or relating to such Public Taking. If the whole or any part of the Leased Premises is Publicly Taken, as between the parties hereto, their respective rights and obligations under this Lease shall continue until the day on which the Public Taking authority takes possession thereof. If the whole or any part of the Property is Publicly Taken, Landlord shall have the option, to be exercised by written notice to Tenant, to terminate this Lease and such termination shall be effective on the day the Public Taking authority takes possession of the whole or the portion of the Property Publicly Taken. Rent and all other payments shall be adjusted as of the date of such termination and Tenant shall, on the date of such Public Talking, vacate the Leased Premises and surrender the same to Landlord, with Landlord having the right to re-enter and re-possess the Leased Premises discharged of this Lease and to remove all persons therefrom. In this Section, the words “Public Taking” shall include expropriation and condemnation and shall include a sale by Landlord to an authority with powers of expropriation, condemnation or taking, in lieu of or under threat of expropriation or taking and “Publicly Taken” shall have a corresponding meaning.
Recording of Lease		(i) Tenant agrees with Landlord not to record this Lease or any memorandum thereof in any recording office and not to register notice of this Lease in any form without the prior written consent of Landlord. If such consent is provided, such notice of Lease or memorandum shall be in such form as Landlord shall have approved and Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable fee for same and all applicable transfer or recording taxes or charges. Tenant shall remove and discharge at Tenant’s expense recordation or registration of such notice or memorandum at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and in the event of Tenant’s failure to so remove or discharge such notice or memorandum after ten (10) days’ written notice by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord may in the name and on behalf of Tenant execute a release or discharge of such a notice or memorandum in order to remove and discharge such notice or memorandum, and for the purpose thereof, Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints any officer of Landlord the true and lawful attorney of Tenant.
Time of the Essence		(j) Time shall be of the essence of this Lease and of every part hereof.
Lease Entire Agreement		(k) Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that there are no covenants representations, warranties, agreements or conditions express or implied, collateral or otherwise forming part of or in any way affecting or relating to this Lease save as expressly set out in the BLI Rider, this Lease and Schedules attached hereto and that the BLI Rider, this Lease and such Schedules constitute the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant and may not be modified except as herein explicitly provided or except by agreement in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant.

Interpretation		(m) In this Lease, “herein”, “hereof”, “hereby”, “hereunder”, “hereto”, “hereinafter” and similar expressions refer to this Lease and not to any particular section, clause or other portion thereof, unless there is something in the subject matter or context inconsistent therewith; and the parties agree that all of the provisions of this Lease are to be construed as covenants and agreements as though words importing such covenants and agreements were used in each separate section hereof, and that should any provision or provisions of this Lease be illegal or not enforceable it or they shall be considered separate and severable from this Lease and its remaining provisions shall remain in force and be binding upon the parties hereto as though the said provision or provisions had never been included, and further that the captions appearing for the provisions of this Lease have been inserted as a matter of convenience and for reference only and in no way define, limit or enlarge the scope or meaning of this Lease or of any provision hereof. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of Rent, nor any other provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties herein, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of landlord and tenant. Wherever herein the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders. In the event any language is deleted from this Lease, said language shall be deemed to have never appeared and no other implication shall be drawn therefrom.

If two or more persons or entities shall sign this Lease as Tenant, the liability of each such person or entity to pay the Rent and perform all other obligations hereunder shall be deemed to be joint and several. In like manner, if Tenant shall be a partnership or other legal entity, the partners or members of which are, by virtue of any applicable law, rule, or regulation, subject to personal liability, the liability of each such partner or member under this Lease shall be joint and several and each such partner or member shall be fully obligated hereunder and bound hereby as if each such partner or member had personally signed this Lease.
Use and Occupancy Prior to Term		(o) If Tenant shall for any reason use or occupy the Leased Premises (or any portion thereof) in any way prior to the Commencement Date without there being an existing lease between Landlord and Tenant under which Tenant has occupied the Leased Premises, then during such prior use or occupancy Tenant shall be a Tenant of Landlord and shall be subject to the same covenants and agreements in this Lease mutatis mutandis.
Limitation on Landlord Liability		(p) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS LEASE, IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF LANDLORD ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREUNDER AND/OR TENANT’S USE OF THE LEASED PREMISES, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE ESTATE OF LANDLORD IN THE PROPERTY AND THE PROCEEDS AND RENT FROM THE SAME.

[21]

Waiver of Jury Trial		(q) TENANT HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, OR TENANT’S USE AND OCCUPANCY OF THE LEASED PREMISES.
Choice of Law		(r) This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State or (in case of the District of Columbia) local jurisdiction in which the Leased Premises are located.

Brokers		(s) Each party represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any agent or broker in connection with this transaction except for the agents or brokers specifically set forth in the BLI Rider with respect to each Landlord and Tenant. If either party’s representation and warranty prove to be untrue, such party will indemnify the other party against all resulting liabilities, costs, expenses, claims, demands and causes of action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs through all appellate actions and proceedings, if any. The foregoing will survive the end of the Term.
Mold		(t) It is generally understood that mold spores are present essentially everywhere and that mold can grow in most any moist location. Emphasis is properly placed on prevention of moisture and on good housekeeping and ventilation practices. Tenant acknowledges the necessity of good housekeeping, ventilation, and moisture control (especially in kitchens, janitor’s closets, bathrooms, break rooms and around outside walls) for mold prevention. In signing this Lease, Tenant has first inspected the Leased Premises and certifies that it has not observed mold, mildew or moisture within the Leased Premises. Tenant agrees to immediately notify Landlord if it observes mold/mildew and/or moisture conditions (from any source, including leaks), and allow Landlord to evaluate and make recommendations and/or take appropriate corrective action. Tenant relieves Landlord from any liability for any bodily injury or damages to property caused by or associated with moisture or the growth of or occurrence of mold or mildew on or in the Leased Premises. In addition, execution of this Lease by Tenant constitutes acknowledgement by Tenant that control of moisture and mold prevention in the Leased Premises are integral to its Lease obligations.
Anti-Terrorism		(u) Tenant represents and warrants that it is not acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation named by the United States Treasury Department as a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person, or for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation designated in Presidential Executive Order 13224 as a person who commits, threatens to commit, or supports terrorism; and that it is not engaged in this Lease directly or indirectly on behalf of, or facilitating this Lease directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity, or nation. Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, risks, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or related to any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty, and acknowledges that Landlord may treat any such breach as an Event of Default by Tenant.
Authorization		(v) The person signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby represents and warrants that (i) he/she is authorized to execute this Lease on behalf of Tenant, (ii) he/she possesses the requisite power and authority to bind Tenant to the terms and provisions hereof, (iii) Tenant has taken all actions necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Lease by Tenant, and (iv) Tenant has been duly organized and is qualified or authorized to do business in the State in which the Leased Premises is located. Furthermore, Tenant agrees to take any and all necessary action to keep its existence as an entity in good standing throughout the Term in the State in which Tenant has been organized as well as to remain qualified to do business within the State in which the Leased Premises are located.
Legal Fees		(w) In the event of any litigation concerning this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees through all appeals.
No Estate in Land		(x) This Lease shall not convey any leasehold estate from Landlord to Tenant. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that this Lease creates only the interest of a usufruct in Tenant which may not be levied upon without Landlord’s permission or assigned except in accordance herewith.

SCHEDULE “C”

Taxes Payable by Landlord and Tenant

Tenant’s Taxes	1.	(a) Tenant covenants to pay all Tenant’s Taxes (as defined below), as and when the same become due and payable. Where any Tenant’s Taxes are payable by Landlord to the relevant taxing authorities, Tenant covenants to pay the amount thereof to Landlord upon demand and Landlord covenants to timely remit 100% of such monies paid by Tenant to the relevant taxing authority and provide Tenant’s Tenant receipts for remittance of such Taxes upon Tenant’s written request. (b) Tenant covenants to pay to Landlord, or to the taxing authority as Landlord may direct from time to time, Tenant’s Proportionate Share (as defined below) of the amount of Landlord’s Taxes (as defined below) in each Fiscal Period over the Landlord’s Taxes in the “Base Year” (as hereinafter defined). (c) Tenant covenants to pay to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the costs and expenses (including legal and other professional fees and interest and penalties on deferred payments) incurred in good faith by Landlord in contesting, resisting or appealing any of the Landlord’s Taxes (as defined below).
Landlord’s Taxes		(e) Landlord covenants to pay all Landlord’s Taxes subject to the payments on account of Landlord’s Taxes required to be made by Tenant elsewhere in this Lease. Landlord may appeal any official assessment or the amount of any Landlord’s Taxes or other taxes based on such assessment and relating to the Property. In connection with any such appeal, Landlord may defer payment of any Landlord’s Taxes or other taxes, as the case may be, payable by it to the extent permitted by law, and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and provide Landlord with all relevant information reasonably required by Landlord in connection with any such appeal.
Separate Allocation		(f) In the event that Landlord is unable to obtain from the taxing authorities any separate allocation of Landlord’s Taxes, Tenant’s Taxes or assessment as required by Landlord to make calculations of Additional Rent under this Lease, such allocation shall be made by Landlord acting reasonably.
