ARTICLE V: SECURITY DEPOSIT
Concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit
with Landlord the sum of Two Thousand Seven hundred Thirty-Eight Dollars
($2,738.00) (hereinafter the "Security Deposit"). The Security Deposit shall be

the provisions of this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to use,
apply or retain all or a part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any
amount which Landlord may spend by reason of Tenant's default or to compensate
Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of
Tenant's default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied,
Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand, deposit with Landlord
an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount; and
Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord

Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right within thirty (30) days of receipt
of notice of taking, to terminate this Lease as of the date possession is taken

made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to
Tenant, for the interruption of or damage to Tenant's business and for Tenant's
unamortized cost of leasehold improvements. In the event of a partial taking
which does not result in a termination of this Lease, rent shall be abated in
the proportion which the part of the Premises so made unusable bears to the
rented area of the Premises immediately prior to the taking. No temporary taking
of the Premises or Tenant's right therein or under this Lease shall terminate
this Lease or give Tenant any right to any abatement of rent thereunder; and any
award made to Tenant by reason of any such temporary taking shall belong

subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord's
express written consent to any other assignment or subletting. The acceptance of
rent by Landlord from any other person or legal entity shall not be deemed to be
a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
assignment, subletting or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting
or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent
assignment, subletting or other transfer.

by Landlord of Landlord's interest in the Premises other than a transfer for
security purposes only, Landlord shall be relieved from and after the date
specified in any such notice of transfer of all obligations and liabilities to
Tenant which accrue after such sale or conveyance on the part of Landlord,
provided that any funds in the possession of Landlord at the time of transfer in
which Tenant has an interest shall be delivered to the successor Landlord. This
Lease shall not be affected by any such sale or transfer and Tenant shall attorn
to the purchaser or other transferee provided that all of Landlord's obligations
accruing hereunder from and after such sale or transfer are assumed in writing
by such purchaser or transferee.
ARTICLE XVIII: DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
18.1 Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a
material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
(a) Any failure by Tenant to pay the Monthly Base Rent, or any other
monetary sums required to be paid under this Lease, where such failure
continues for five (5) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to
Tenant;
(b) Any material false statement made by Tenant to Landlord or its
agents in any document delivered to Landlord in connection with the
negotiation of this Lease.
(c) The abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant;
(d) A failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other term,
covenant or condition of this Lease to be observed or performed, by
Tenant, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written
notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the
nature of the default is such that the default cannot reasonably be cured
within the thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in
default if Tenant shall within the thirty (30) day period commence action
to cure the default and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to
completion;
(e) The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general
arrangement for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant
of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or of a petition for
reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy
(unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is
dismissed within sixty (60) days); the appointment of a trustee or
receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where
possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the
attachment, execution, or other judicial seizure of substantially all of
Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this
Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.
18.2 Nonexclusive Remedies. In the event of any such material default or
breach by Tenant, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies
provided in this Lease, the following nonexclusive remedies:
(a) At Landlord's option and without waiving any default by Tenant,
Landlord shall have the right to continue this Lease in full force and
effect and to collect all Monthly Base Rent, and any other amounts to be
paid by Tenant under this Lease as and when due. During any period that
Tenant is in default, Landlord shall have the right, pursuant to legal
proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, to enter and
take possession of the Premises, without terminating this Lease, for the
purpose of reletting the Premises or any part thereof and making any
alterations and repairs that may be necessary or desirable in connection
with such reletting. Any such reletting or relettings may be for such term
or terms (including periods that exceed the balance of the term of this
Lease), and upon such other terms, covenants and conditions as Landlord
may in Landlord's sole discretion deem advisable. Upon each and any such
reletting, the rent or rents received by Landlord from such reletting
shall be applied as follows: (1) to the payment of any indebtedness (other
than rent) due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; (2) to the payment of
costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees, reasonable
attorney's fees, court costs, and costs of any alterations or repairs; (3)
to the payment of any Monthly Base Rent and any other amounts due and
unpaid hereunder; and (4) the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord
and applied in payment of future Monthly Base Rent and any other amounts
as they become due and payable hereunder. If the rent or rents received
during any month and applied as provided above shall be insufficient to
cover all such amounts including the Monthly Base Rent and any other
amounts to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease for such month, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord any deficiency; such deficiencies shall be
calculated and paid monthly. No entry or taking possession of the Premises
by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate
this Lease, unless Landlord gives written notice of such election to
Tenant or unless such termination shall be decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction, Notwithstanding any reletting by Landlord without
termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate this Lease for
such previous default by giving written notice thereof to Tenant.
(b) Terminate Tenant's right to possession by notice to Tenant, in
which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately
surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord
shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord
by reason of Tenant's default, including without limitation the following:
(1) all unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination
plus (2) the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned
after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that is proved could have been reasonably avoided; plus (3)
any other amount necessary to

compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's
failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or in addition
to or in lieu of the foregoing such damages as may be permitted from time
to time under applicable State law. Upon any such re-entry Landlord shall
have the right to make any reasonable repairs, alterations or
modifications to the Premises, which Landlord in Landlord's sole
discretion deems reasonable and necessary.
ARTICLE XIX: ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Landlord shall, during the term of this Lease, have the right to enter the
Premises at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant, to inspect or
to show to prospective tenants or purchasers, or to make necessary repairs. For
purposes of this section, twenty-four (24) hours is deemed to be reasonable
notice. In the event of an emergency, however, Landlord shall not be required to
give Tenant such notice, provided that Landlord furnishes Tenant with the reason
for the emergency entry within three days of such entry.
ARTICLE XX: INDEMNITY
Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims
of liability for any injury or damage to any person or property whatsoever
occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof during the term of
this Lease. Tenant shall further indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and
against any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance
of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this
Lease, or arising from any act or negligence of Tenant, or any of Tenant's
agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees and from and against all
costs, reasonable attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the
defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon. Tenant
shall not, however, be liable for damage or injury occasioned by the negligence
or intentional acts of Landlord and Landlord's designated agents or employees.

termination of this Lease.

shall, prior to the expiration or other termination of this Lease remove all
personal property belonging to Tenant and failing to do so, Landlord may cause
all of said personal property to be removed at the cost and expense of Tenant.
Tenant's obligation to observe and perform this covenant shall survive the
expiration or other termination of this Lease. In the alternative, Landlord may,
at Landlord's option, treat any and all items not removed by Tenant on or before
the date of expiration or of the termination of this Lease as having been
relinquished by Tenant and such items shall become the property of Landlord with
the same force and effect as if Tenant had never owned or otherwise had any
interest in such items.
21.2 Hazardous Substances. No spill, deposit, emission, leakage or other
release of Hazardous Substance in the soils, ground waters or waters shall be
deemed to result in either (a) wear and tear that would be normal for the term
of the Lease; or (b) a casualty to the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible to
promptly and completely cleanup any Release occurring on the Premises during the
term of the Lease which directly results form the actions of Tenant or its
employees or authorized agents. Tenant shall surrender the Premises free of any
contamination or other damage caused by such a Release during the term of the
Lease. Tenant's obligation to cleanup the Premises pursuant to the provisions of
this Article XXI shall survive the expiration or other termination of this
Lease.

each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
23.5 Costs of Suit. If Tenant or Landlord shall bring any action for any

attorney's fees whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

23.8 Waiver. No term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall be deemed
waived, except by written consent of the party against whom the waiver is

not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same

performance by Tenant after the time the same shall have become due shall not
constitute a waiver by Landlord of the breach or default of any term, covenant
or condition unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Landlord in writing.

the Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease, with or without the

fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Base Rent in effect immediately prior to
