damage or destruction. During any period of reconstruction to the extent
-3-
that the leased premises are not usable by the Lessee, the rents shall be abated

following events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Lessee.
(a) The vacating and abandonment of the premises by Lessee.
(b) The failure of Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other

deemed to be in default if more than 30 days is required to cure such default
and Lessee commences such cure within said (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion; provided further, that if the
nature of Lessee's default is such that it is not reasonably susceptible of

(d) (i) The making by Lessee of any general assignment, or general
arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Lessee
for a petition to have Lessee adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for
reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in
the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60
days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee's
-4-
assets located at the demised premises or of Lessee's interest in the Lease,
where possession is not restored to Lessee within (30) days; or (iv) the

6.2 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. If Lessee shall fail to comply fully with any
of its obligations under this Lease (including, without limitation, its
obligations to make repairs, comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations
and pay all bills for utilities), then Lessor shall have the right, at its
option after notice to Lessee (except that in an emergency, notice is not
required) to cure such breach at Lessee's expense. Lessee agrees to reimburse
Lessor as additional rental for all costs and expenses incurred as a result
thereof together with interest thereon promptly upon demand, at a rate equal to
the "Prime Rate" (as hereinafter defined) plus one and one half percent
(1-1/2%). If, however, payment of interest at such rate by Lessee (or by the
Tenant then in possession having succeeded to the Lessee's interest in
accordance with the terms of this Lease) should be unlawful, I.E., violative of
the usury statutes or otherwise, then "interest" shall, as against such party,
be computed at the maximum lawful rate payable by such party. "Prime Rate" shall
mean the rate being charged at the time in question by Michigan National Bank
(Lansing Office) for short-term (90 day) unsecured loans made to its preferred
customers.

termination hereof, to return demised premises to Lessor in as good condition as
the same are or may be put by either party, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
9.1 EMINENT DOMAIN. If the whole of the leased premises shall be taken by
any public authority under the power of eminent domain, the lease term shall
cease as of the day possession shall be taken by such public authority, and
Lessee shall pay rent up to that date with an appropriate refund by Lessor of
such rent as may have been paid in advance for any period subsequent to the date
possession is taken. If less than all of the leased premises shall be so taken,
the lease shall cease only on the parts so taken as of the day possession shall
be taken by such public authority; and Lessee shall pay rent up to that day with
appropriate refund by Lessor of such rent as may have been paid in advance for
any period subsequent to the date possession is taken and thereafter the rental
shall be equitably adjusted. Lessor shall, at its expense, make all necessary
repairs or alterations to the basic building and exterior work so as to
constitute the remaining premises a complete architectural unit, provided that
Lessor shall not be obligated to undertake any such repairs and alterations if
the cost thereof exceeds the award. If the leased premises so taken leaves space
no longer suitable for Lessee for the purposes set forth in this Lease, then the
lease term shall cease and Lessee shall pay rent up to the day possession is
taken, with an appropriate refund by Lessor of such rent as may have been paid
in advance for any period subsequent to the date of
-6-
the taking of possession. If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the floor
area of the building in which the leased premises are located shall be taken
under the power of eminent domain, Lessor may, by 60 days' advance notice in
writing to Lessee delivered on or before the day of surrendering possession to

force and effect (or if modified, stating the nature of such modification and
certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect), and
