certificates and any applicable riders or endorsements showing that such
insurance is in force, and thereafter will file renewal certificates prior to
the expiration of any such policies. All such insurance certificates shall
provide that such policies shall not be canceled without at least ten (10)
days prior written notice to each insured. In the event LESSEE shall fail to

Each party waives claims arising in any manner in its ("Injured
Party's") favor and against the other party for loss or damage to Injured
Party's property located within or constituting a part or all of the building.
This waiver applies to the extent the loss or damage is cover by:
(i) the Injured Party's insurance; or
(ii) the insurance the Injured Party is required to carry under
this lease, which ever is greater.
The waiver also applies to each party's directors, officers, employees,
shareholders, and agents. The waiver does not apply to claims caused by a
party's willful misconduct.
16. FIRE INSURANCE. LESSEE shall not permit any use of the leased
premises which will adversely affect or make voidable any insurance on the
property of which the leased premises are a part, or on the contents of the said
property, or which shall be contrary to any law or regulation from time to time
established by the Insurance Services Office (or successor), local Fire
Department, LESSOR's insurer, or any similar body. LESSEE shall on demand

standards for style, size, location. etc. LESSEE shall obtain the prior written
consent of LESSOR before erecting any sign on the leased premises, which consent
shall include approval as to size, wording, design and location. LESSOR may
remove and dispose of any sign not approved erected or displayed in conformance
with this lease.
19. DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION OF RENT. In the event that: (a) LESSEE
shall default in the observance or performance of any of LESSEE's covenants,
agreements, or obligations hereunder, other than substantial monetary payments
as provided below, and such default shall not be corrected within twenty (20)
days after written notice thereof, or (b) LESSEE vacates the leased premises,
then LESSOR shall have the right thereafter, while such default continues and
without demand or further notice, to re-enter and take possession of the leased
premises, to declare the term of this lease ended, and to remove LESSEE's
effects, without being guilty of any manner of trespass, provided such LESSOR
entry complies with all applicable statutes and without prejudice to any
remedies which might be otherwise used for arrears of rent or other default
shall continue for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof, and, because
both parties agree that nonpayment of said sums when due is substantial breach
of the lease, and, because the payment of rent in monthly installments is for
the sole benefit and convenience of LESSEE, then in addition to the foregoing
remedies the entire balance of rent which is due hereunder shall become
immediately due and payable as liquidated damages. LESSOR, without being under
any obligation to do so and without thereby waving any default may remedy same
for the
102
account and at the expense of LESSEE. If LESSOR pays or incurs any obligations
payment of money in connection therewith, such sums paid or obligations incurred
plus interest and costs, shall be paid to LESSOR by LESSEE as additional rent.

then to offset any outstanding invoice or other payment due to LESSOR, with the
balance applied to outstanding rent. LESSEE agrees to pay reasonable attorney's
fees and/or administrative costs incurred by LESSOR in enforcing any or all

oral notice or representation shall have any force or effect. Time is of the
essence in service of any notice.
21. OCCUPANCY. In the event that LESSEE takes possession of said leased
premises prior to the start of said term, LESSEE will perform and observe all of
LESSEE's covenants from the date upon which LESSEE takes possession except for
the obligation for the payment of extra rent for any period less than one month.
LESSEE shall not remove any goods or property from the leased premises other
than in the ordinary and usual course of business, without having first paid and
satisfied LESSOR for all rent which may become due during the entire term of
this lease. In the event that LESSEE continues to occupy or control all or any
part of the leased premises after the agreed termination of this lease without
the written permission of LESSOR, then LESSEE shall be liable to LESSOR for any
and all loss, damages or expenses incurred by LESSOR, and all other terms of
this lease shall continue to apply except that the rent shall be due in full
monthly installments at a rate of two hundred (200) percent of that which would
otherwise be due under this lease, it being understood between the parties that
such extended occupancy is as a tenant as sufferance and is solely for the
benefit and convenience of LESSEE and as such has greater rental value. LESSEE's
control of occupancy of all or any part of the leased premises beyond noon on
the last day of the monthly rental period shall constitute LESSEE's occupancy
for an entire additional month, and increased rent as provided in this section
shall be due and payable immediately in advance. LESSOR's acceptance of any
payments from LESSEE during such extended occupancy shall not alter LESSEE's
status as a tenant at sufferance.

against fire and agrees to provide and maintain approved, labeled fire
extinguishers, emergency lighting equipment, and exit sign and complete any
other modifications within the leased premises as required or recommended by the

description shall be held or stored outside the leased premises at any time

the leased premises as not to interfere in any way with the use and enjoyment of
their portions of the same or neighboring buildings by others by reason of
odors, smoke, smells, noise, pets, accumulation of garbage or trash, vermin or
other pests, or otherwise, and will at its expense employ a professional pest
control service if necessary. LESSEE agrees to maintain efficient and effective
devices for preventing damage to heating equipment from solvents, degreasers,
cutting oils, propellants, etc. which may be present at the leased premises.
Except for small quantities of normal cleaning or other solvent typically
associated with office uses no hazardous materials or wastes shall be stored,
disposed of, or allowed to remain at the leased premises at any time, and LESSEE
shall be solely responsible for any and all corrosion or other damage associated
with the use, storage and/or disposal of same by LESSEE.
Lessor shall have the right upon reasonable notice to Lessee to inspect
the demised premises with regard to any materials being used by Lessee in its
business operation and with respect to any wastes being generated as a result of
use of those materials for the purpose of ascertaining whether environmentally
hazardous conditions exist at the demised premises as result of use by Lessee of
certain materials in its business operation.
103
If Lessor determines in her reasonable judgment that hazardous wastes
are being generated by Lessee at the subject premises, then, in that event,
Lessor shall notify Lessee forth with of that fact and Lessee shall be obligated
to engage the services of a recognized and certified environmental firm for the
purpose of performing a 21E and/or other environmental study in order to
determine the extent of contamination which has occurred at the demised
premises. It shall be Lessee's responsibility to pay for the services of the
environmental firm with regard to the aforementioned study and Lessee and Lessor
shall mutually agree upon the identity of the environmental firm, which is going
to conduct the 21E and/or other environmental study. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessor recognizes that Lessee may use and store on site certain
controlled and hazardous substances (a list of these substances incorporated
herein by reference entitled Exhibit F) in the ordinary course of business and
such continued use will at all times be permitted subject to all local, state
and federal laws.
25. RESPONSIBILITY. Neither LESSOR or OWNER shall be held liable to
anyone for loss or damage caused in any way by the use, leakage, seepage or
escape of water from any source, or for the cessation of any service rendered
customarily to said premises or buildings, or agreed to by the terms of this
lease, due to any accident, the making of repairs, alterations and/or
improvements, labor difficulties, weather conditions, mechanical breakdowns,
trouble or scarcity in obtaining fuel, electricity, service or supplies from the
