(b) Except as provided in subparagraph (c) below, the Landlord shall
pay, as and when they become due, all Real Estate Taxes payable upon or with
respect to the Center. The Landlord shall pay or cause the payment of all Real
Estate Taxes before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto,
become due or be imposed by operation of law for the nonpayment or late payment
thereof. Should the Landlord fail to pay such Real Estate Taxes or any part
thereof, the Tenant shall have the right, at its sole election, after written
notice to the Landlord in accordance with paragraph 35, to cure such failure by
payment of the Real Estate Taxes and any interest and penalties due thereon and
may deduct the cost thereof, plus interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
annum (the "Default Rate"), from the next installment(s) of base rent and other
charges due hereunder. In no event shall the Tenant be liable for any discount
forfeited or penalty incurred as a result of late payment by another tenant. The
Landlord shall remain primarily responsible for such payment of Real Estate
Taxes notwithstanding the fact that such payment may be made by a tenant of the
Center or other third party pursuant to an agreement to which the Tenant is not
a party.
(c) The Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord for the Tenant's pro rata
share of the Real Estate Taxes payable upon or with respect to the Center
exclusive of any penalties or late charges within thirty (30) days after the
Tenant's receipt of the Landlord's statement therefor (but not more than forty
five (45) days prior to the due date thereof), accompanied by the tax ▇▇▇▇ on
which such statement is rendered. The Tenant's pro rata share of the Real Estate
Taxes shall be calculated by multiplying the total tax assessed, net of any
early payment discounts available from the taxing authority at the time the
Tenant's payment is due, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the gross
leasable square footage of the Premises and the denominator of which is the
total gross leasable square footage of all buildings in the Center. Changes in
applicable floor areas in the Premises or in the Center shall result in
corresponding pro rata adjustments. Real Estate Taxes shall be prorated as of
the Rent Commencement Date and the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, and, if applicable, the Landlord shall promptly return to the Tenant any
overpayment made by the Tenant.
(d) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant copies of all notices of proposed
increases in Taxes or proposed revaluation of any property that is included in
the calculation of Tenant's proportionate share of Taxes in time to permit
Tenant to contest such proposed increases or revaluation. If the Tenant disputes
the amounts of any Real Estate Taxes, it may contest and defend, and conduct any
necessary proceedings to avoid, such disputed taxes or assessments, and the
Landlord shall cooperate with the Tenant in contesting the validity or amount of
such taxes, including joining in the signing of any protests or pleadings that
the Tenant may deem reasonably advisable to file. Any rebate made on account of
any Real Estate Taxes attributable to the Premises shall belong to, and be paid
to, the Tenant. During any such contest, the Tenant agrees to prevent any public
sale, foreclosure or any divesting thereby of the Landlord's title to the
Premises.
(e) Any special assessments for benefits on or to the Center installed
following the Commencement Date shall be included in Real Estate Taxes.
(Predevelopment and development assessments and impact fees shall not be
included in Real Estate Taxes or in other pro rata charges to Tenant.) Landlord
agrees to elect the longest period available under law for payment of such
assessments. Landlord agrees that such assessments shall be amortized to Tenant
over a term not less than ten (10) years, and that any unamortized assessment
remaining at the end of the Lease term shall be borne by Landlord. If special
assessments are permitted to be paid in installments, and if the payment of such
installments are permitted to be paid over a period in excess of ten (10) years,
then there shall be included in Real Estate Taxes for any fiscal year only the
amount of the installment of such assessment that would result had Landlord
elected to pay such assessment over the maximum number of installments permitted
by law to be paid without interest or penalties. Such installments shall be in
lieu of amortizing. Landlord will not submit improvements to a special
improvements district without Tenant's prior written consent unless such
submission shall not result in any charges to Tenant for such improvements.
6. UTILITIES. The Tenant shall pay all utility charges and deposits
required to establish accounts for gas, heat, light, water, sewer, electricity,
garbage and other utility use services supplied to the Premises during the term
of this Lease. The Premises shall be separately metered by Landlord for such
charges. In the event of any assignment or subletting of a portion of the
Premises by the Tenant then, at the Tenant's option, such assignment or
subletting shall provide that either (i) such portion of the Premises shall be
separately metered for such charges or (ii) the subtenant or assignee shall be
required to pay its pro rata share of such expenses (which pro rata share shall
be the amount of such costs multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of gross leasable square feet in that portion of the
Premises that is
5
5
assigned or sublet, and the denominator of which shall be the gross leasable
square footage of the Premises).
7. USE.
(a) The Tenant shall have the right to use the Premises for any retail
purpose. The Landlord represents and warrants to the Tenant that the Premises
are properly zoned for Tenant's stated use and that the Tenant's use of the
Premises as off-price full line department store does not violate any such use
restrictions. The Tenant shall not permit or suffer the use of the Premises for
any unlawful purpose.
(b) So long as the Tenant is operating from the Premises, the Landlord
shall not lease, or approve or consent to any lease, assignment or sublease of
space in the Center to an off price full line department store.
8. LANDLORD AND TENANT'S WORK. The Landlord agrees to provide, at its
expense, the improvements to the Premises described on Exhibit "D", attached
hereto and made a part hereof (the "Landlord's Work"). The Landlord's Work shall

and the Landlord, as applicable, shall be deemed approved if not approved or
otherwise acted upon within fifteen (15) days following receipt of such plans
and specifications. The Landlord and the Tenant shall obtain, at their own
expense, all necessary building permits for their respective work.
9. TENANT ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS. The Tenant may, from time to
time, make or cause to be made any interior nonstructural alterations, additions
or improvements to the Premises without the Landlord's consent. The construction
of interior demising walls and interior doors shall be deemed nonstructural. The
Tenant may make interior structural and exterior alterations, additions or
improvements to the Premises only with the Landlord's prior written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any request to make

(15) days following request for such approval. The Landlord agrees to execute
and deliver upon the Tenant's request any instrument or instruments which may be

Center; (xvii) any utility charge for usage of the Center if such usage is
charged to Tenant's Premises as a result of separate metering of the service or
services. In addition, any utility usage of the Common Areas which is as a
result of other tenants' extended operating hours shall be excluded, and the
cost of any utility, maintenance, service or repair provided to any other
premises in the Center; (xviii) any Common Areas Maintenance Costs incurred or
required prior to the commencement of this Lease; (xix) maintenance, repair or
replacement of Common Areas which is the result of Landlord's negligence in
performing preventative and/or planned maintenance which increases the costs to
maintain the Common Areas in good usable condition; (xx) off site repairs,
replacements or improvements; (xxi) any costs or expenses incurred by the
Landlord in bringing the Center, or any portion thereof, into compliance with
any applicable federal, state or local statutes, codes, ordinances or rules;
(xxii) reserves for anticipated future expenses; (xxiii) any bad debt loss, rent
loss or reserves for bad debts or rent loss: (xxiv) any cost related to the
operation of Landlord as an entity rather than the operating of the Center
including the cost and formation of the entity, internal accounting, legal
matters, preparation of tax returns, etc.; (xxv) any operating expense incurred
by Landlord with respect to other premises in the Center occupied or occupiable
by other tenants of the Center; and (xxvi) any expense for insured or uninsured
loss. Any allowable replacement of Common Areas which would constitute a
"capital expenditure" shall be
9
9
amortized over the useful life of said replacement and only the annual amortized
portion of said cost shall be included in Tenant's proportionate share of Common
Areas Costs. The Tenant's proportionate share of the Common Area Maintenance
Costs, subject to Section 15(b) above (the "Tenant's Share".) shall be the
amount of such costs multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the gross leasable area of the Premises as set forth in paragraph I hereof and
the denominator of which shall be the gross leasable area of all buildings in
the Center.
CAM charges shall be in addition to a 15% administrative fee
(d) The Tenant shall pay the Tenant's Share to the Landlord in
quarterly payments in arrears. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each
calendar quarter, the Landlord shall give the Tenant a statement in reasonable
detail, together with all applicable invoices and receipts, setting forth the
Common Area Maintenance Costs for such quarter and the Tenant's Share. Subject
to subparagraph 15(b) above, the Tenant shall pay such amount to the Landlord
within thirty (30) days following receipt of such statement.
16. LANDLORD'S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. Landlord agrees that it shall,
at its sole cost and expense, at all times during the term of this Lease:
(a) Keep, repair and maintain in good order and condition (including
replacement, if necessary), the roof (including all components thereof) and the
interior and exterior structural portions of the Premises, including, without
limitation, the exterior walls (painted, cleaned and/or sandblasted, but
excluding plate glass windows, doors, door closure devices, door frames,
molding, locks and hardware); the window frames (but only to the extent repair
thereto is necessitated due to settling of the building or other structural
failure of the building); the foundation, structural parts of the floor; all
structural members; gutters, downspouts; duct work; automated sprinkler supply
line; and, electrical wiring from main circuit breaker panels (excluding the
circuit breaker) to the weatherboard and extending to the public utility power
sources. In addition, Landlord shall be responsible for "replacement" of major
equipment, including air condition and heating equipment, upon said equipment
being deemed unrepairable by a registered engineer selected by Tenant. Should
Landlord elect to renovate or remodel the exterior of said Premises, Landlord
may do so at Landlord's expense provided Tenant has approved the same.
(b) Make any repair or replacements which become necessary as the
consequence (whether with or without any intervening act, negligence, or default
under this Lease of Landlord, its employees, agents, licensees, or contractors)
of a condition Landlord is required to correct, as in the case of damage to the
ceiling which results from a roof leak.
(c) If Landlord fails to perform its maintenance obligations hereunder,
Tenant, after thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord (or upon such notice
as may be reasonable in the event of an emergency or in the event such repairs
are necessary in order to avoid damage to the Tenant's merchandise or
interference with the Tenant's business) may perform such unperformed
maintenance at the cost of the Landlord. Tenant may offset the cost of
performing the Landlord's maintenance obligations against the rent due
hereunder.
(d) In the event it shall become necessary to make any emergency repair
which would otherwise be required to be made by Landlord, Tenant shall use its
best efforts to contact Landlord, and in the event of its inability to do so,
Tenant may proceed forthwith to have the repairs made and pay the cost thereof
and promptly thereafter deliver a ▇▇▇▇ for such repairs to Landlord. In the
event the ▇▇▇▇ for such repairs is not paid within thirty (30) days after
Landlord's receipt of such ▇▇▇▇, Tenant may deduct all of its costs and expenses
in connection therewith from up to one-half each monthly installment of the
Fixed Rent thereafter becoming due until such sum shall be recovered in full.
17. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. At the expiration of the term, the Tenant
shall surrender the Premises in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and
tear and damage by fire and casualty excepted.
18. INSURANCE.
(a) The Tenant agrees that it will, at all times during the term of
this Lease, keep in full force and effect a policy of general liability
insurance with respect to the Premises and the business operated by the
10
10
Tenant therein in which the limits shall not be less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) in respect of personal injury and not less than Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in respect of property damage.
(b) The Landlord agrees that it will, at all times during the term of
this Lease, keep in full force and effect a policy of fire and extended coverage
("all-risk" form) insurance, insuring all improvements in the Center and the
Premises on full replacement cost basis, including:
(i) With respect to the Center, extended coverage and vandalism and
malicious endorsement, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of
the buildings and improvements thereon; and
(ii) Sprinkler leakage insurance with resect to the Center (but not
with respect to Tenant's fixtures, furniture, equipment, stock, or inventory),
in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of said replacement value.
(c) Landlord shall maintain a policy or policies of general
comprehensive public and property damage insurance for damages on account of
injuries to property or person, including, death, sustained by any person or
persons while within said Common Areas (including but not limited to parking lot
and sidewalks) in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) combined
single limit protection.
Landlord is to notify Tenant of any changes in the liability policy or
if there is a termination of that policy without replacement. At Tenant's
request, but not more frequently than twice each calendar year, Landlord will
furnish to Tenant evidence of such insurance.
(d) The party obligated to maintain the insurance policies hereunder
shall, within fifteen (15) days after request therefore, deliver to the other
party a certificate of insurance naming the other party as an additional insured
and evidencing that the insurance required hereunder is in full force and
effect. All insurance required hereunder may be carried under blanket policies
maintained by the party required to maintain such insurance.
(e) The Landlord and the Tenant agree that with respect to any loss
which is required to be covered by insurance hereunder, the one carrying or
required to carry such insurance and suffering such loss releases the other of
and from any and all claims with respect to such loss. The Landlord and the
Tenant further agree that their respective insurance policies shall provide for
an appropriate waiver of subrogation reflecting this release.
(f) The net proceeds of the insurance referred to in Section 18(b)
shall be applied to the restoration of the Premises. Any surplus proceeds shall
belong to the Landlord. Landlord agrees to convey any insurance proceeds
received by Landlord to a title company or lender mutually agreed to by the
parties hereto to hold in escrow for rebuilding if Landlord is required to
rebuild.
(g) Tenant shall be named as an additional insured in Landlord's public
liability and property damage insurance policies. Any insurance required to be
maintained by Landlord under this Section 18 may be maintained under a so-called
blanket policy or policies; may contain reasonable deductible provisions
customary for similar properties in the Center locale and consistent with sound
insurance practices; and, the insurance required to be maintained shall include
a clause waiving any right of subrogation against Tenant. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord monthly, as additional rent, Tenant's pro rata share of the premiums
for the insurance described above. Landlord shall charge Tenant for its pro rata
share of the foregoing insurance separately from Common Areas expense charges,
and Landlord shall not add an administrative charge as a part of such insurance
expense.
(h) Landlord represents that the insurance premiums payable by Landlord
for the coverage enumerated herein shall be at rates which are commercially
reasonably, and comparable to the rates paid by other owners of similarly-sized,
first-class shopping centers for similar coverage in the metropolitan area. In
the event Tenant is able to locate an insurance carrier (or carriers) of
comparable quality and expertise as Landlord's carrier which will provide to
Landlord identical coverage at rates which are less than the premium rates
charged by Landlord's insurance carrier, Tenant's Proportionate Share of
insurance premiums shall be
11
11
calculated based upon the rates quoted by Tenant's proposed insurance carrier or
carriers (whether or not Landlord elects to obtain the insurance coverage
required hereunder from such source or sources) which Tenant shall make
available to Landlord.
19. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS.
(a) Except as provided in subparagraph (c) below, the Tenant shall, at
its cost and expense, comply with the lawful requirements of all municipal,
state, federal and other applicable governmental authorities arising as a result
of the Tenant's particular use of the Premises; provided, however, that the
Tenant shall have no obligation to make any additions, alterations or
improvements to the Premises required by such governmental authorities if the
cost of such additions, alterations or improvements exceeds $50,000.00 or if
less than two years remain in the term hereof.
(b) Except as provided in subparagraph (c) below, the Landlord shall,
at its sole cost and expense, comply with all other lawful requirements of all
municipal, state, federal or other applicable governmental authorities arising
as a result of or in connection with the use and occupancy of the Premises and
the Common Areas or the failure of the Landlord's Work to comply with such
requirements.
(c) As used in this subparagraph, the Americans with Disabilities Act
("ADA") shall mean the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. e1201,
et. seq., and all implementing regulations. The Landlord and the Tenant intend
to comply with the ADA and the parties hereby agree to allocate responsibility
for such compliance as follows:
(i) Except as provided in subsection (ii) below, the Landlord shall
have responsibility to comply with the requirements of the ADA in all Common
Areas and in the Premises. Such compliance responsibility shall include, but
shall not be limited to, the obligation to remove architectural and
communication barriers in the Common Areas and the Premises where such removal
is readily achievable.
(ii) Except as provided in subsection (i) above, the Tenant shall have
responsibility to comply with the requirements of the ADA in the Premises to the
extent that such requirements require the Tenant to make interior nonstructural
changes or improvements to the Premises. Such responsibility shall include, but
shall not be limited to, the obligation to remove architectural and
communication barriers in the Premises created by the Tenant's trade fixtures
and leasehold improvements made by the Tenant where such removal is readily
achievable.
(iii) If building alterations are commenced by Landlord and involve the
Common Areas, it shall be the Landlord's responsibility to comply with the
standards of accessibility required under the ADA and its implementing
regulations.
(iv) Except as provided in subsection (v) below, if building
alterations are commenced by Tenant and involve the Premises, it shall be the
Tenant's responsibility to comply with the standards of accessibility required
under the ADA and its implementing regulations.
(v) In the event the Landlord and the Tenant shall agree as part of the
terms and conditions of the Lease that the Landlord, at the Landlord's expense,
shall construct improvements on the Premises or any part thereof, it shall be
the Landlord's responsibility to comply with the standards of accessibility for
such new construction.
(vi) Each party shall be responsible for the ADA compliance of its own
standards, criteria, administrative methods, eligibility criteria, policies,
practices and procedures.
(vii) The Tenant shall be responsible for the provisions of any
"auxiliary aids and services," as such term is defined and used in the ADA, to
its customers, clients and patrons, if and to the extent required in connection
with the operation of its business or occupancy of the Premises.
12
12
(viii) To the extent permitted by the ADA, if either the Landlord or
the Tenant can demonstrate that barrier removal is not readily achievable in an
area in which either party has responsibility for ADA compliance, the party
responsible for compliance, as herein provided, shall make use of alternatives
to barrier removal, if such alternatives are readily achievable.
20. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
(a) If the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, the
Landlord shall collect the proceeds of such insurance and immediately and with
all due diligence commence to repair such damage at its expense. From the date
the damage occurs to the date the repairs are complete, the rent due hereunder
shall be reduced by the same percentage as the percentage of the Premises which,
in the Tenant's reasonable judgment, cannot be safely, economically or
practically used for the operation of the Tenant's business. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, if in the Tenant's reasonable judgment, any damage
or destruction to the Premises from any cause whatsoever cannot be repaired
within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date such damage occurs, the
Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to the Landlord given within
ninety (90) days following the occurrence of such damage. In addition, if any
damage or destruction to the Premises from any cause whatsoever cannot be
repaired, in the Landlord's reasonable judgment, within one hundred eighty (180)
days following the date such damage occurs and the Landlord elects not to repair
such damage, the Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
written notice to the Tenant given within ninety (90) days after the date such
damage occurred provided that no more than three (3) calendar years remain in
the term hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time the Landlord
gives such termination notice any of the renewal options provided for in the
Lease have not yet been exercised and the Tenant exercises a renewal option
within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Landlord's termination notice, then
this Lease shall not be terminated and the Landlord shall promptly commence
restoration of the Premises.
(b) In the event of a termination of the Lease pursuant to this
paragraph, all insurance proceeds payable by reason of damage under policies
required to be carried hereunder (excluding any insurance proceeds attributable
to damage to the Tenant's inventory, trade fixtures, business or leasehold
improvements paid for by the Tenant) shall be paid to the Landlord.
21. CONDEMNATION. If all or any part of the Premises or the Center
shall be taken under the power of eminent domain, (i) this Lease shall terminate
as to the part so taken on the date on which the Tenant is required to yield
possession thereof, (ii) the Landlord shall make such repairs and alterations as
may be necessary in order to restore the part not taken to a condition
satisfactory for the Tenant's use, and (iii) the rent due hereunder shall be
reduced by the same percentage as the percentage of the Premises or the Center
so taken. If the portion so taken of the Premises, the Center or the Common
Areas or access thereto substantially impairs the Tenant's use of the Premises
or the economic viability of the business then being operated by the Tenant in
the Premises, the Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease at any
time following the date on which the Landlord or the Tenant is required to yield
possession of the area so taken.
22. INDEMNIFICATION. Subject to the insurance requirements of Section
18, the Landlord hereby indemnifies the Tenant, and the Tenant hereby
indemnities the Landlord for any cost, damage or expense incurred or suffered by
the other as a result of the negligence or other act or omission of the
indemnifying party.
23. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord warrants that Tenant shall have the
continuous and uninterrupted quiet enjoyment and exclusive possession of the
Premises and the non-exclusive right to use the Common Areas during the term of
this Lease. In the event that, at any time during the term hereof, Tenant's
quiet enjoyment and possession is deprived for more than sixty (60) days as a
result of a defect in the title of Landlord to the Center and/or the Premises,
and Landlord fails or refuses to cure such defect within such sixty (60) day
period, Tenant shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Lease
without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have at law or equity or
under this Lease.
24. LANDLORD'S COVENANTS. The Landlord represents (i) that it has the
right to enter into this Lease, (ii) that it has good and marketable title to
the Premises, (iii) that the Premises, including without limitation, the roof
and HVAC system, are in good condition and repair, (iv) that the Premises is
properly zoned for use by
13
13
the Tenant as an off-price full line department store retail location, (v) that
the Landlord has obtained all necessary approvals and permits from appropriate
governmental authorities for the development of the Center in accordance with
the Site Plan and for the construction and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant

Landlord has entered into no leases, agreements or restrictive covenants that
would prohibit or interfere with the use of the Premises by the Tenant as an
off-price full line department store retail location.
25. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.
(a) "Hazardous Substances", as used herein, shall mean all "hazardous
substances" (as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. paragraph 9601 et seq. and the regulations

lawful manner and immaterial quantities of petroleum products may be discharged
from the operation of motor vehicles on the Premises); (ii) install any
underground storage tanks in, on or under the Premises; (iii) accumulate tires,

learning during the term of this Lease that: (i) any duty in subparagraph (b)
has been violated, (ii) there has been a release, discharge or disposal of any
Hazardous Substance on any property contiguous to the Premises such that
contamination of the Premises is possible; (iii) the Premises are the subject of
any third party claim or action, because of any environmental condition on or
originated from the Premises. The Tenant shall promptly provide the Landlord
with copies of all correspondence to or from third parties, including, but not
limited to, governmental agencies, regarding environmental conditions on or

(d) The Tenant shall indemnify and agrees to hold the Landlord harmless
from and against all costs, liability and damages suffered by the Landlord as a
result of a breach of the Tenant's duties hereunder.
(e) The Landlord hereby represents and warrants that: (i) it has not

there has been no draining, filling or modification of wetlands (as defined by

there is no asbestos or asbestos-containing material in the Premises. The
representations and warranties set forth in this subparagraph (e) shall apply to
any contiguous or adjacent property owned by the Landlord, whether or not the
Landlord is in possession.
(f) If any such Hazardous Substances are discovered at the Center
(unless introduced by the Tenant, its agents or employees) or if any asbestos or
asbestos containing material is discovered in the Premises, and removal,
encapsulation or other remediation is required by applicable laws, the Landlord
immediately and with all due diligence and at no expense to the Tenant shall
take all measures necessary to comply with all applicable laws and to remove
such Hazardous Substances or asbestos from the Center and/or encapsulate or
remediate such Hazardous Substances or asbestos, which removal and/or
encapsulation or remediation shall be in compliance with all environmental laws
and regulations, and the Landlord shall repair and restore the Center at its
expense. From the date such Hazardous Substances are
14
14
discovered at the Center to the date such removal, encapsulation, remediation
and restoration is complete, the rent due hereunder shall be reduced by the same
percentage as the percentage of the Premises which, in the Tenant's reasonable
judgment, cannot be safely, economically or practically used for the operation
of the Tenant's business. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if in
the Tenant's reasonable judgment, such removal, encapsulation, remediation and
restoration cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days following
the date such Hazardous Substances or asbestos are discovered, the Tenant may
terminate this Lease by written notice to the Landlord, which notice shall be
effective on Landlord's receipt thereof.
(g) If any of the representations or warranties set forth in
subparagraph (e) are Incorrect, misleading or breached, if any Hazardous
Substances are discovered at the Center (unless introduced by the Tenant, its
agents or employees) or if any asbestos or asbestos containing material is
discovered in the Premises, all costs incurred by the Tenant as the result of
such breach or discovery of such Hazardous Substances or asbestos shall be borne
by the Landlord, and the Landlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the
Tenant and the Tenant's officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents
harmless from and against all such costs, liability and damages including,

remediation and removal, consultants' and experts' fees, and all costs incurred
in enforcing this indemnity.
(h) Beginning on the date of this Lease, the Tenant shall have the
right to conduct an environmental study of the Premises and the Center, and the
Landlord agrees to cooperate with and to provide access to the Center and the
Premises to the Tenant and its agents. If the Tenant discovers any Hazardous
Substances at the Center or any asbestos or asbestos containing materials in the
Premises as a result of such environmental study, the Tenant shall have the
right to terminate in accordance with paragraph 25 hereof.
(i) The obligations of the Landlord and the Tenant hereunder shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and any extensions
hereof.
26. DEFAULT BY TENANT - REMEDIES OF LANDLORD.
(a) Each of the following shall be deemed a default by Tenant and a
breach of this Lease: (i) filing of a petition by Tenant for adjudication as a
bankrupt or an adjudication as a bankrupt or for reorganization or for an
arrangement under any federal or state statute, except a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
where rent is being paid and the terms of the Lease are being complied with;
(ii) involuntary dissolution or liquidation of Tenant; (iii) appointment of a
permanent receiver or a permanent trustee of all or substantially all the
property of Tenant, if such appointment shall not be vacated within one hundred
and twenty (120) days; (iv) taking possession of the property of Tenant by any
governmental officer or agency pursuant to statutory authority for dissolution,
rehabilitation, reorganization or liquidation of the Tenant if such taking of
possession shall not be vacated within one hundred and twenty (120) days; (v)
making by the Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
If any event mentioned in this subdivision (a) shall occur, Landlord
may thereupon or at any time thereafter elect to cancel this Lease by thirty
(30) days notice to the tenant in possession and this Lease shall terminate on
the day in such notice specified with the same force and effect as if that date
were the date herein fixed for the expiration of the term of the Lease.
(b) (i) Default in the payment of the base rent reserved for a period
of twenty (20) days after notice. In the event Tenant deducts from base rent or
other charges hereunder such sums expended by Tenant to remedy defects or make
repairs upon Landlord's failure to perform its obligations hereunder, such
action by Tenant shall not be construed as a default in the payment of fixed
rent or other charges hereunder.
(ii) A default in the performance of any other covenant or condition
of this Lease on the part of the Tenant to be performed for a period of thirty
(30) days after notice. For purposes of this subdivision (b) (ii) hereof, no
default on the part of Tenant in performance of work required to be performed or
acts to be done
15
15
or conditions to be modified shall be deemed to exist if steps shall have been
commenced by Tenant diligently after notice to rectify the same and shall be
prosecuted to completion with reasonable diligence, subject, however, to
unavoidable delays.
(c) In cases of any such default under Section 26(b) and at any time
thereafter following the expiration of the respective grace periods above
mentioned, Landlord may serve a notice upon the Tenant electing to terminate
this Lease upon a specified date not less than twenty (20) days after the date
of serving of such notice and this Lease shall then expire on the date so
specified as if that date had been originally fixed as the expiration date of
the term herein granted; however, a default under Section 26(b) hereof shall be
deemed waived if such default is cured before the date specified for termination
in the notice of termination served on Tenant.
If a default occurs subsequent to Tenant's assignment or subletting of
the Premises, Landlord may proceed to terminate this Lease in the manner
described above, provided: (i) a copy of the specified notices shall be served
upon the original Tenant herein as well as the party entitled to possession, and
(ii) Tenant shall be entitled to timely rectify any defaults occurring after
such assignment or subletting.
If Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets the Premises, Landlord, when
giving notice to said assignee or subtenant or any future assignee or subtenant
in respect of any default, shall also serve a copy of such notice upon the
original Tenant (herein called the "Original Tenant"), and no notice of default
shall be effective until a copy thereof is so given to the Original Tenant. The
Original Tenant shall have the same period after receipt of such notice to cure
such default as is given to Tenant therefore under this Lease. If this Lease
terminates or this Lease and the term hereof ceases and expires because of a
default of such assignee or subtenant after an assignment of this Lease or
sublease shall have been made, Landlord shall promptly give to the Original
Tenant notice thereof; and the Original Tenant shall have the option,
exercisable by the giving of notice by the Original Tenant to Landlord within
ten (10) days after receipt by the Original Tenant of Landlord's notice, to cure
any default and become Tenant under a new lease for the remainder of the term of
this Lease (including any renewal periods) upon all of the same terms and
conditions as then remain under this Lease, and such new lease shall commence on
the date of termination of this Lease. except that if the Original Tenant is
occupying less than ten percent (10%) of the Premises, Landlord may deliver to
the Original Tenant, together with Landlord's notice, a release as to all future
liability under this Lease.
(d) In case this Lease shall be terminated as hereinbefore provided. or
by legal proceedings, Landlord or its agents may, immediately or any time
thereafter, re-renter and resume possession of the Premises or such part
thereof, and remove all persons and property therefrom, by a suitable action or
proceeding at law. No re-entry by Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance of a
surrender of this Lease.
(e) In case this Lease shall be terminated as hereinbefore provided,
Landlord shall, in its own name but as agent for Tenant, if the Lease be not
terminated, or if the Lease be terminated in its own behalf, use its best
efforts to mitigate its damages and relet the whole or any portion of the
Premises for any sum which may be reasonable, giving due consideration to the
rents reserved herein and in connection with any such lease, Landlord may make
such changes in the character of the improvements on the Premises as may be
appropriate or helpful in effecting such lease. Landlord shall not in any event
be required to pay Tenant any surplus of any sums received by Landlord on a
reletting of the Premises in excess of the rent reserved in this Lease.
(f) In case this Lease be terminated as provided in Section 26(c),
subject to rebuttal by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from the
Tenant, the following: (i) a sum equal to all reasonable expenses, if any,
including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by Landlord in recovering possession
of the Premises, and all reasonable costs and charges for the care of said
Premises while vacant, which damages, less the avails of reletting, shall be due
and payable by Tenant to Landlord; and (ii) a sum equal to the amount of all
rent and other charges reserved under this Lease which shall be due and payable
by Tenant to Landlord on the several days on which the rent and other charges
reserved in this Lease would have become due and payable, less the greater of
(1) the fair rental value of the Premises, or (2) the net rent, if any,
collected by Landlord on reletting the Premises; that is, upon each of such days
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of deficiency
16
16
then existing after receipt of credit for the fair rental value or net rent
collected by Landlord. Any excess amounts of rent collected by Landlord shall be
credited against future rent. Such net rent collected on reletting shall be
computed by deducting from the gross rents collected all necessary expenses
incurred in connection with reletting of the Premises or any part thereof,
including reasonable brokers' commissions.
(g) Separate actions may be maintained by Landlord against Tenant from
time to time to recover any damages which, at the commencement of any such
action, have then or theretofore become due and payable to the Landlord under
this Section 26 without waiting until the end of the then current term.
27. LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. In the event that the Landlord defaults in the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder and such default continues
uncured (by the Landlord or any mortgagee of the Center) for thirty (30) days
after written notice from the Tenant to the Landlord (and to any mortgagee of
the Center for whom the Tenant has been provided a name and address) and such
default is reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, then, in
addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law, the Tenant shall have
the right to cure such default and offset the cost of such cure against the
rents and other amounts due hereunder; provided, however, that if such default
is not reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, the period for
curing such default shall be extended for so long as the Landlord (or its
mortgagee) is proceeding with reasonable diligence to cure such default.
Provided further that in the case of an emergency, the Tenant shall be required
to give only such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances.
