this  lease.
The Lessor shall pay and indemnify Lessee against all legal costs and charges,
including counsel fees, lawfully and reasonably incurred in effecting
performance of Lessor’s duties and responsibilities.

10.  Default.  This lease is made upon the express condition that if the Lessee
fails to pay the rental reserved hereunder, or any part thereof, after the same
shall become due, and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days
after written notice thereof, from the Lessor to the Lessee, or if the Lessee
fails or neglects to perform, meet or observe any of the Lessee's other
obligations hereunder, and such failure or neglect shall continue for a period
of ten (10) days, then the Lessor at any time thereafter, by written notice to
the Lessee,  may lawfully declare the termination hereof,
including  acceleration of maturity of the rent for the remainder of the lease
term whether primary or secondary, and re-enter  said premises, or any part
thereof, and by due process of law,  expel, remove and put out the Lessee, or
any person or persons  occupying said premises, and may remove all personal
property  therefrom, without prejudice to any remedies which might  otherwise be
used for the collection of arrears of rent or for  any breach of covenant or
conditions.

obligations hereunder, and such failure or neglect shall continue for a period
of twenty (20) days after written notice from Lessee of such deficiency, then
the Lessee at any time thereafter, by written notice to the Lessor, may remedy
such deficiency in a manner of Lessee’s choosing. Costs incurred for said remedy

the right, but not the obligation, to remove from the Premises all of Lessee's
personal property located therein and place it in storage in a public warehouse
at Lessee's expense and risk.

Lessor’s pursuit of any remedy specified in this Lease will not constitute an
election to pursue that remedy only, nor preclude Lessor from pursuing any other
remedy available at law or in equity, nor constitute a forfeiture or a waiver of
any rent or other amount due Lessor under this Lease.

11.  Non-waiver of Default.  The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by the
Lessor shall not be deemed as waiver of any preceding breach of any obligation
hereunder by the Lessee, other than the failure to pay the particular rental so
accepted, and the waiver of any breach of any covenant or condition by the
Lessor shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach regardless of knowledge
thereof.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

12.  Indemnity and Insurance.

The Lessee shall keep the leased property insured at  its sole costs and expense
against claims for personal injury or property damage under a policy of general
public liability  insurance, with limits of at least $2,000,000.00 for
bodily  injury and/or death, and $500,000.00 for property damage.  Such policy
or policies shall name the Lessor and the Lessee as the insureds.   Within ten
(10) days of the date hereof the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor certificates
of insurance certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect.  The
Lessee hereby agrees to indmenify the Lessor against and to hold the Lessor
harmless from any and all claims or demands for loss of or damage to personal
property or for injury or death to any person or persons from any cause
whatsoever while in, upon or about said demised premises, or on any adjacent
sidewalks or driveways, during the term of this lease or any extension(s) or
renewal(s) hereof, as long as said claims, demands, loss or damages are not
attributable to Lessor.  Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of all policies
which shall specify that ten (10) days notice to Lessor shall be required before
any cancellation of said policies.

The Lessee shall be responsible for the insurance coverage of its principal
property and business insurance.

13.  Utilities and Services.  The Lessee agrees to pay for all water, fuel, gas,
oil, heat, electricity, power, materials, trash removal and services which may
be furnished to it or used by it in or about the demised premises and to keep
said demised premises free and clear of any lien or encumbrance of any kind
whatsoever created by Lessee's act or omission.

14.  Entry and Inspection.  The Lessee shall permit the Lessor and his agent to
enter the demised premises at all reasonable times, subject to advance
reasonable notice to Lessee, for any of the following purposes:  to inspect
same; to maintain the building in which the said premises are located; to make
such repairs to the demised premises as the Lessor is obligated or may elect to
make; to post notices of non-responsibility for alteration or additions or
repairs.  The Lessor shall have such right of entry and the right to fulfill the
purposes thereof without any rebate of rent to the Lessee for any loss of
occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the demised premises thereby occasioned.

15.  Destruction of Premises.  In the event of a total or partial destruction of
the said premises during said term from any cause, the Lessor shall forthwith
repair the same, provided such repairs can be made within ninety (90) days under
the laws and regulations of state, federal, county or municipal authorities, but
such partial destruction shall in no way annul or void this lease, except that
the rent reserved to be paid hereunder shall be equitably adjusted according to
the amount and value of the undamaged space.

SWCP/NGSG Lease – Page 5
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Should the total or partial destruction result from causes covered by the fire
and extended coverage insurance furnished by the Lessee, the insurance proceeds
shall be made available to the Lessor to effect the required repairs.

If such repairs cannot be made within ninety (90) days, this lease may be
terminated at the option of either party.

16.  Condemnation.  If the whole of the premises hereby demised shall be taken
or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose, then the
term hereby granted shall cease on the day prior to the taking of possession by
such authority, and rent hereunder shall be paid to and adjusted as of that day.

If a portion of said demised premises shall be condemned or taken, and, as a
result thereof, there shall be such a major change in the character of the
premises as to prevent Lessee from using the same in substantially the same
manner as theretofore used, then and in that event, the Lessee may either cancel
and terminate this lease, as of the date when the part of the premises so taken
or condemned shall be required for public purposes, or said Lessee may continue
to occupy the remaining portion, provided, however, the Lessee shall give
written notice  to the Lessor, within fifteen (15) days after the date of
any  taking or vesting of title, of its election.  In the event the Lessee shall
remain in possession and occupation of the remaining portion, all the terms and
conditions of this lease shall remain in full force and effect with respect to
such remaining portion,  except that the rent reserved to be paid hereunder
shall be  reduced in the proportion which the space taken bears to the  space
originally leased; and provided, further, that Lessor  shall, at Lessor's own
expense, promptly and with all reasonable  diligence (subject to strikes,
lockouts, inability to procure  material and labor in the free market,
governmental restrictions,  fire, the elements, and other extraordinary
conditions beyond  Lessor's reasonable control) do such work as to make a
complete  architectural unit of the remainder of the building on the  demised
premises and this lease shall continue for the balance of  its term, subject to
the terms and conditions herein stated and  provided further that the cost of
said work shall not exceed the  lesser of the proceeds for the condemnation
award less related  fees and expenses. The entire award of damages or
compensation for the premises taken, or the amount paid pursuant to private
purchase in lieu thereof, whether such condemnation or sale be total or partial,
shall belong to and be the property of the Lessor, and the Lessee hereby assigns
to Lessor any and all such award or purchase price.  Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed or construed to prevent Lessee from interposing and prosecuting
in any condemnation proceeding a claim for the value of any trade fixtures
installed in the demised premises, the cost, loss or damage sustained by Lessee
as the result of any alterations, modifications, or repairs which may be
reasonably required of the Lessee in order to place the remaining portion of the
demised premises not so condemned in a suitable condition for Lessee's
further occupancy.

at any time during the demised term.   Should the Lessee vacate or abandon said
premises or be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, such abandonment,
vacation, or dispossession shall be a breach of this lease and, in addition to
any other rights which the Lessor may have, the Lessor may remove any personal
property belonging to the Lessee which remains on the demised premises and store
the same, such removal and storage to be for the account of the Lessee.

that it will continuously throughout the term of this lease and extensions

comply with the requirements of the Board of Fire Undewriters concerning the
premise.

26.  Environmental Provisions

public health, safety and environmental laws) or if Lessee, or the Premises

other cleanup of the Premises; provided that Lessee shall not be responsible for
any of the foregoing relating to any Hazardous Substance, or other toxic
materials or waste located on, in or under the Premises on the date of this
Lease, all of which shall be the responsibility of Lessor. If Lessee fails to
implement and diligently pursue any such repair, closure, detoxification,
decontamination, or other cleanup of the Premises, Lessor shall have the right,

longer.  Lessee agrees to restore the Premises to the same order and condition
as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

E.           Lessee shall promptly comply with all laws and all lawful orders,
ordinances and regulations affecting the cleanliness, safety, occupation and use
of the Premises.  While Lessee cannot guarantee the Lessor will never be
considered by the governmental agencies enforcing environmental regulations to
be a "Potentially Responsible Party" or PRP for environmental pollution, Lessee
does agree to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from any and all damages, costs
and expenses which Lessor may suffer as a result of environmental damage or
pollution or claims of such damage or pollution which are directly attributable
to Lessee's use of the Premises.

Lessee shall be deemed to be occupying said premises as a Lessee from month to
month, subject to all of the conditions, provisions and obligations of monthly
tenancy.  Any holding over beyond the expiration of the term of this Lease shall

to either of the parties hereto, it  shall be held to include and apply also to
the heirs, executors,  administrators, successors and assigns of such party, as
if in  each and every case so expressed.
