The parties desire, to the extent permitted by law, to allocate certain risks of
personal injury, bodily injury or property damage, and risks of loss of real or
personal property by reason of fire, explosion or other casualty, and to provide
for the responsibility for insuring those risks. It is the intent of the parties
that, to the extent any event is required by the terms hereof to be covered by
insurance, any loss, cost, damage or expense, including, without limitation, the
expense of defense against claims or suits, be covered by insurance, without
regard to the fault of Tenant, its officers, employees, agents, contractors and
customers ("Tenant Protected Parties"), and without regard to the fault of
Landlord, Agent, their respective members, officers, directors, employees,
agents and contractors ("Landlord Protected Parties"). As between Landlord
Protected Parties and Tenant Protected Parties, such risks are allocated as
follows:
(a)
Tenant shall bear the risk of bodily injury, personal injury or death, or damage
to property, or to third persons, occasioned by events occurring within, on or
about the Leased Premises, regardless of the party at fault, if any. Said risks
shall be insured as provided in Section 6.2(a).

Landlord shall bear the risk of bodily injury, personal injury, or death or
damage to property, or to third persons, occasioned by events occurring on or
about the Real Estate (other than premises leased to tenants), regardless of the
party at fault, if any.

(c)
Tenant shall bear the risk of damage to contents, trade fixtures, machinery,
equipment, furniture, furnishings and property of Tenant, Tenant's Protected
Parties and property in Tenant's control, care and custody in the Leased
Premises arising out of loss by all events required to be insured against
pursuant to Section 6.2(b).

(d)
Landlord shall bear the risk of damage to the building on the Real Estate
arising out of loss by events required to be insured against pursuant to Section
6.3(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided the party required to carry insurance
under Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.3(a) hereof does not default in its obligation
to do so, if and to the extent that any loss occasioned by any event of the type
described in Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) exceeds the coverage or amount of
insurance actually carried, or results from an event not required to be insured
against and not actually insured against, the party at fault shall pay the
amount not actually covered under these respective policies.

5.2    Tenant's Insurance.
Tenant shall procure and maintain policies of insurance, at its own cost and
expense, insuring:

connected with the Leased Premises, Tenant's use thereof or operations therein

one (1) person, or for damage to property in an amount of not less than One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and not less than Two Million

location, the policy shall contain an endorsement to the effect that the
aggregate limit in the policy shall apply separately to each location owned or
rented by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right, exercisable by giving written
notice thereof to Tenant, to require Tenant to increase such limit if, in
Landlord's reasonable judgment, the amount thereof is insufficient to protect

indemnity set forth above and in Section 13.1 below.

(b)

liability policies in Section 6.2(a), employer's liability in Section 6.2(c) as
underlying policies.

program with commercially reasonable retention amounts. Any insurance
deductibles or self-insurance amounts shall be the responsibility of Tenant.
5.3     Landlord's Insurance.
Landlord shall procure and maintain policies of insurance insuring:
(f)

risks of direct physical loss as insured against under Special Form ("all risk"
coverage). The insurance coverage shall be for not less than 90% of the full
replacement cost of the Leased Premises for an agreed amount basis with the
insurance carrier, with sufficient limits to replace the Leased Premises of
similar utility purpose. . Landlord shall be named as the insured and all
proceeds of insurance shall be payable to Landlord. Said insurance shall contain
an endorsement waiving the insurer's right of subrogation against any Tenant
Protected Party.

(h)
Landlord's business income, protecting Landlord from loss of rents and other
charges during the period while the Leased Premises are untenantable due to fire
or other casualty (for the period reasonably determined by Landlord).

(i)
Flood or earthquake insurance whenever, in the sole reasonable judgment of
Landlord, such protection is necessary and it is available at commercially
reasonable cost.

5.4    Form of Insurance.
All of the aforesaid insurance shall be in reputable companies licensed to do
business in the State of Ohio with a minimum A.M. Best rating of "A". Landlord
shall have the right to self-insure and use high deductibles or self-insured
retention levels to help control the cost of insurance premiums. As to Tenant's
insurance, the insurer and the form, substance and amount (where not stated
above) shall be satisfactory from time to time to Landlord and any mortgagee of
Landlord, and shall unconditionally provide that it is not subject to
cancellation or non-renewal except after at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Landlord and any mortgagee of Landlord. Originals of Tenant's
insurance policies (or certificates thereof satisfactory to Landlord), together
with satisfactory evidence of payment of the premiums thereon, shall be
deposited with Landlord at the Commencement Date and renewals thereof not less
than seven (7) days prior to the end of the term of such coverage. Landlord
shall have the right, from time to time, but no more than once per Lease Year,
to increase the occurrence limits and/or policy limits of Landlord and/or Tenant
hereunder, as Landlord may reasonably determine.
5.5.    [Intentionally Deleted].
5.6    Fire Protection.
Landlord shall ensure that the Leased Premises conform with all applicable fire
codes of any governmental authority, and with the rules and regulations of
Landlord's fire underwriters and their fire protection engineers, including,
without limitation, the installation and maintenance of adequate fire
extinguishers. Landlord agrees to maintain and repair any sprinkler or other
fire suppression system, alarms and/or special hazards fire protection

6

for the Leased Premises provided that Tenant shall be responsible for any
additional cost caused solely on account of Tenant's particular use of the
Leased Premises. Landlord is providing a sprinkler monitoring system with a

cease any operations which may create any form of flame, spark, combustible risk
or explosive atmosphere.
5.7    Waiver of Subrogation.
Landlord and Tenant, and all parties claiming under each of them, mutually
release and discharge each other from all claims and liabilities arising from or

elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days
after receipt of Landlord's estimate of the anticipated time to restore the
Leased Premises. Additionally, in the event any damage or destruction to the
Leased Premises is not repaired, restored or rebuilt, as the case may be, within
one hundred fifty (150) days after such damage or destruction, then in such
event Tenant shall have the right and option to elect to terminate this Lease by
notice to Landlord at any time prior to substantial completion of such work by
Landlord; provided, however, that upon receipt of any such notice, Landlord
shall have the right to nullify such election by notice to Tenant so long as
Landlord substantially completes the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the
Leased Premises within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice.
VII.    CONDEMNATION
7.1    Taking of Whole.
If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be taken or condemned for a public or
quasi-public use or purpose by a competent authority, or if such a portion of
the Leased Premises shall be so taken that as a result thereof the balance
cannot be used for the same purpose and with substantially the same utility to
Tenant as immediately prior to such taking, then in either of such events, the
Lease term shall terminate upon delivery of possession to the condemning
authority, and any award, compensation or damages (hereinafter sometimes called
the "Award") shall be paid to and be the sole property of Landlord whether the
Award shall be made as compensation for diminution of the value of the leasehold
estate or the fee of the Real Estate or otherwise.
7.2    Partial Taking.
If only a part of the Leased Premises shall be so taken or condemned, but the
Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, Landlord shall repair
and restore the Leased Premises and all improvements thereon, to the extent
reasonably practicable, provided that Landlord shall not hereby be required to
expend for repair and restoration any sum in excess of the Award. Any portion of
the Award which has not been expended by Landlord for such repairing or
restoration shall be retained by Landlord as Landlord's sole property. The rent
shall be equitably abated following delivery of possession to the condemning
body. If the portion of the building within which the Leased Premises are
located shall be so taken or condemned in a material or substantial way,
Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant
within sixty (60) days after such taking. In such event, the Award shall be paid
to and be the sole property of Landlord.
7.3    Temporary Taking.
If the whole or a part of the Leased Premises shall be taken or condemned for a
public or quasi-public use or purpose by a competent authority, but only on a
temporary basis, then in such event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, without any abatement of rent whatsoever, but the Award paid on account
of such temporary taking shall be paid to Tenant in full satisfaction of all
claims of Tenant on account thereof.

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

7.4    Payment to Tenant.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VIII, in the event of a
termination of this Lease on account of a taking, then in such event Landlord
agrees that Tenant may prosecute a claim in such condemnation proceeding for (a)
the reasonable relocation and moving costs incurred by Tenant on account
thereof, (b) the unamortized balance of Tenant's leasehold improvements to the
Leased, and (c) the value of the remaining leasehold interest of Tenant for the
then existing term of this Lease. Tenant agrees that it shall not have the right
to claim any other compensation in such proceeding.
VIII.    MAINTENANCE AND ALTERATIONS
8.1    Landlord's Maintenance.
Landlord shall keep in good condition and perform all maintenance, repairs and
replacements of the (i) roof of the Leased Premises, (ii) the utility lines
leading to the Leased Premises up to the point of entry to the extent they are
under control of Landlord, (iii) the exterior, utilities systems and structural
components of the Leased Premises (unless caused by Tenant's use of or
alterations to the Leased Premises), (iv) pipes that are not exclusive to
Tenant’s Premises and (v) except for the negligence of the Tenant, Landlord
shall be responsible for the HVAC repair and replacement over the $1,000 cap as

compliance with all health and safety regulations in force based on Tenant’s use
of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall promptly remove any debris left by Tenant,
its employees, agents, contractors or invitees in the parking area or other
exterior areas of the Real Estate.
8.3    Alterations.
(a)
Subject to the prior written approval by Landlord, Tenant shall thereafter make
all additions, improvements and alterations on the Leased Premises, and on and
to the appurtenances and equipment thereof, required on account of Tenant's
particular use of the Leased Premises and required by any governmental authority
or which may be made necessary by the act or neglect of Tenant, its employees,
agents or contractors, or any persons, firm or corporation claiming by, through
or under Tenant. As to any Alterations which Tenant is required hereunder to
perform or to which Landlord consents and as to work performed pursuant to
Article XVIII hereof, such work shall be performed with new materials, in a
workman-like manner, strictly in accordance with plans and specifications
therefor first approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and in accordance with all applicable laws and
ordinances. Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of such work, deliver to
Landlord copies of all required permits, and builders risk (or installation
floater) insurance coverage to the extent of the cost of the Alterations. Tenant
shall permit Landlord to monitor construction operations in connection with such
work, and to restrict, as may reasonably be required, the passage of manpower
and materials, and the conducting of construction activity in order to avoid
unreasonable disruption, hazard or inconvenience to Landlord or other tenants of
the Real Estate or to Permitted Parties or damage to the Real Estate or the
Leased Premises. Upon completion of any such work by or on behalf of Tenant,
Tenant shall

9

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

provide Landlord with such documents as Landlord may reasonably require
(including, without limitation, sworn contractors' statements and supporting
lien waivers) evidencing payment in full for such work, and "as built" working
drawings or final working drawings marked by the general contractor to show
changes made in the field. In the event Tenant performs any work not in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.3(b), Tenant shall, upon
written notice from Landlord, immediately remove such work and restore the
Leased Premises to their condition immediately prior to the performance thereof.
If Tenant fails so to remove such work and restore the Leased Premises as
aforesaid, Landlord may, at its option, and in addition to all other rights or
remedies of Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, enter the Leased
Premises and perform said obligation of Tenant and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the cost to the Landlord thereof, immediately upon being billed
therefor by Landlord. Such entry by Landlord shall not be deemed an eviction or
disturbance of Tenant's use or possession of the Leased Premises nor render
Landlord liable in any manner to Tenant.
(b)
In no event shall Tenant be entitled to use the roof of the Leased Premises or
any other roof on the Real Estate without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. In the
event Tenant obtains Landlord's consent to utilize the roof of the Leased
Premises or any other roof of a building on the Real Estate, Tenant shall only
use Landlord's roofing contractor for all purposes for which Landlord has
consented.

(c)
Except as otherwise may be provided by Section 17 below, all improvements and
Alterations made to the Leased Premises by Tenant shall, immediately upon
attachment to the Leased Premises or installation thereof, be deemed the
property of Landlord and Tenant shall have no further right or claim to the
title thereof.

IX.    ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
9.1    Consent Required.
(a)
Tenant may assign, sublet, convey or mortgage its leasehold interest in the
Leased Premises with the prior written consent of Landlord, provided Tenant
shall remain fully liable hereunder. Tenant does not need Landlord’s prior
written consent if Tenant assigns the Lease or enters into any sublease with any
of Tenant’s affiliates, subsidiaries or a successor-in-interest to Tenant’s
business operations provided that Tenant delivers written notice thereof to
Landlord thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof. Any proposed
assignment or sublease shall be expressly subject to the terms, conditions and
covenants of this Lease and the use of such sublessee or assignee shall be
compatible with the general character of the Real Estate. Any sublease shall (i)
provide that the sublease is subject and subordinate to this Lease; (ii) provide
that the sublessee shall procure and maintain the insurance required of Tenant
in accordance with the terms of Section 6.2(b) and Section 9.3(b) hereof, and
(iii) provide for a copy to Landlord of notice of default by either party.

(b)
No permitted assignment shall be effective and no permitted sublease shall
commence unless and until any default by Tenant hereunder shall have been cured.
No permitted assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant from Tenant's
obligations and agreements hereunder and Tenant shall continue to be liable as a
principal and not as a guarantor or surety to the same extent as though no
assignment or subletting had been made.

9.2    Other Transfer of Lease.

10

Tenant shall not allow or permit any transfer of this Lease, or any interest
hereunder, by operation of law, or convey, mortgage, pledge, or encumber this
Lease or any interest therein unless subject to Section 10.1/
X.    LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES
10.1    Encumbering Title.
Tenant shall not do any act which shall in any way encumber the title of
Landlord in and to the Leased Premises or the Real Estate, nor shall the
interest or estate of Landlord in the Leased Premises or the Real Estate be in
any way subject to any claim by way of lien or encumbrance, whether by operation
of law or by virtue of any express or implied contract by Tenant. Any claim to,
or lien upon, the Leased Premises or the Real Estate arising from any act or
omission of Tenant shall accrue only against the leasehold estate of Tenant and
shall be subject and subordinate to the paramount title and rights of Landlord
in and to the Leased Premises and the Real Estate.
10.2    Liens and Right to Contest.
Tenant shall not permit the Leased Premises or the Real Estate to become subject
to any mechanics', laborers' or materialmen's lien on account of labor or
material furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant in
connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been
performed on the Leased Premises by, or at the direction or sufferance of
Tenant. In the event a mechanic’s lien is filed against the Leased Premises or
the Real Estate due to work performed by or on behalf of Tenant, Tenant shall
discharge or bond off same within fifteen (15) days from Tenant's receipt of
written evidence of the filing thereof. If Tenant fails to discharge or bond off
said lien, Landlord may bond off or pay same without inquiring into the validity
or merits of such lien, and all sums so advanced shall be paid on demand by
Tenant as additional rent. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless for any liability, cost, damage and expense occasioned by any
mechanic's lien filed against the Leased Premises or the Real Estate on account
of labor or material furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to
Tenant in connection with the Leased Premises or the Real Estate.

by Landlord to Tenant based upon Tenant’s proportionate share of same.
Simultaneous with the billing to Tenant of its water and sewer charges for the
Leased Premises, Landlord shall provide Tenant with details regarding the
calculations used by Landlord in computing Tenant’s proportionate share of same.
Landlord shall not be liable for the quality or quantity of or interference
involving any such utilities. During the term hereof, whether the Leased

account of cold weather.

Except as provided herein, Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise
for any failure or interruption of any utility service being furnished to the

common areas, which rules and regulations shall be binding upon the Tenant upon
delivery of a copy thereof to the Tenant; (ii) temporarily close any part of the

be disturbed or interfered with by Landlord or by any person claiming by,
through or under Landlord unless expressly permitted in this Lease
XV.    SUBORDINATION OR SUPERIORITY
15.1    Subordination or Superiority.
(a)
This Lease is subject and subordinate to the lien of any deed of trust, mortgage
or mortgages now placed upon Landlord's interest in the Real Estate. Upon
request from Tenant, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to obtain a
commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement for Tenant from Landlord’s
lender.

(b)
Landlord reserves the right to subject and subordinate this Lease at all times
to the lien of any deed of trust, mortgage or mortgages hereafter placed upon
Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises; provided, however, that no default
by Landlord, under any deed of trust, mortgage or mortgages, shall affect
Tenant's rights under this Lease, so long as Tenant performs the obligations
imposed upon it hereunder and is not in default hereunder, and Tenant attorns to
the holder of such deed of trust or mortgage, its assignee or the purchaser at
any foreclosure sale. Upon request from Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after
the request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable
instrument presented to Tenant for the purpose of effecting such subordination.
It is a condition, however, to the subordination and lien provisions herein
provided, that Landlord shall procure from any such mortgagee an agreement in
writing, which shall be delivered to Tenant or contained in the aforesaid
subordination agreement, providing in substance that so long as Tenant shall
faithfully discharge the obligations on its part to be kept and performed under
the terms of this Lease and is not in default under the terms hereof, its
tenancy will not be disturbed nor this Lease affected by any default under such
mortgage.

(c)
Wherever notice is required to be given to Landlord pursuant to the terms of
this Lease, Tenant will likewise give such notice to any mortgagee of Landlord's
interest in the Leased Premises upon notice of such mortgagee's name and address

any default on the part of Landlord that Landlord would have had.

XVI.    SURRENDER
16.1    Surrender.
Upon the termination of this Lease, whether by forfeiture, lapse of time or
otherwise, or upon termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Leased
Premises, Tenant will at once surrender and deliver up the Leased Premises,
together with all improvements thereon, to Landlord, in good condition and
repair, reasonable wear and tear and loss by fire or other casualty excepted;
conditions existing because of Tenant's failure to perform maintenance, repairs
or replacements as required herein, or because of Tenant's particular use of the
Leased Premises (even if permitted pursuant to Section 1.5(a) hereof), shall not
be deemed "reasonable wear and tear." Tenant shall deliver to Agent all keys to
all doors therein. As used herein, the term "improvements" shall include,
without limitation, all plumbing, lighting, electrical, heating, cooling and
ventilating fixtures and equipment, and all Alterations (as said term is defined
in Section 9.3 hereof) whether or not permitted under said Section 9.3. All
alterations, including the Alterations, improvements and additions, temporary or
permanent, made in or upon the Leased Premises by Tenant, or made by Landlord on
Tenant's behalf, shall become Landlord's property immediately upon installation
thereof and shall remain upon the Leased Premises on any such termination

14

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

without compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant; provided, however, that
Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to remove any alterations,
including the Alterations, and to restore the Leased Premises to their condition
prior to the making of any such alterations, repairing any damage occasioned by
such removal and restoration, unless Landlord has consented to the installation
thereof, in which event no such removal may be required by Landlord. For
purposes of this Section 17.1, Tenant's Work is hereby deemed approved by
Landlord. If Landlord requires removal of any alterations and Tenant does not
make such removal in accordance with this Section at the time of such
termination, or within thirty (30) days after such request, whichever is later,
Landlord may remove the same (and repair any damage occasioned thereby), and
dispose thereof or, at its election, deliver the same to any other place of
business of Tenant or warehouse the same. Tenant shall pay the reasonable costs
of such removal, repair, delivery and warehousing to Landlord on demand.
16.2    Removal of Tenant's Property.
Upon the termination of this Lease by lapse of time, Tenant shall remove
Tenant's articles of personal property incident to Tenant's business ("Trade
Fixtures"); provided, however, that Tenant shall repair any damage to the Leased
Premises which may result from such removal, and shall restore the Leased
Premises to the same condition as prior to the installation thereof. If Tenant
does not remove Tenant's Trade Fixtures from the Leased Premises prior to the
expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Landlord, may, at its
option, remove the same (and repair any damage occasioned thereby) and dispose
thereof or deliver the same to any other place of business of Tenant or
warehouse the same, and Tenant shall pay the cost of such removal, repair,
delivery and warehousing to Landlord on demand, or Landlord may treat such Trade
Fixtures as having been conveyed to Landlord with this Lease as a bill of sale,
without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.
16.3    Holding Over.
Tenant shall have no right to occupy the Leased Premises or any portion thereof
after the expiration of the Lease or after termination of the Lease or of
Tenant's right to possession pursuant to Section 19.2 hereof. In the event
Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant holds over, Landlord
may exercise any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity to recover
possession of the Leased Premises. For each month or partial month that Tenant
or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant remains in occupancy of all or
any portion of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Lease or after
termination of the Lease or Tenant's right to possession, Tenant shall pay
monthly rental at a rate equal to 125% of the rate of rent and other charges
payable by Tenant hereunder immediately prior to the expiration or other
termination of the Lease or of Tenant's right to possession. The acceptance by
Landlord of any lesser sum shall be construed as a payment on account and not in
satisfaction of damages for such holding over.
XVII.    ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
17.1    "Environmental Condition" Defined.
As used in this Lease, the phrase "Environmental Condition" shall mean: (a) any
adverse condition relating to surface water, ground water, drinking water
supply, land, surface or subsurface strata or the ambient air, and includes,
without limitation, air, land and water pollutants, noise, vibration, light and
odors, or (b) any condition which may result in a claim of liability under the
Comprehensive Environment Response Compensation and Liability Act, as amended
("CERCLA"), or the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), or any claim
of violation of the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Toxic Substance
Control Act ("TOSCA"), or any claim of liability or of violation under any
federal statute hereafter enacted dealing with the protection of the environment
or with the health and safety of employees or members of the general public, or

any law, rule or regulation now or

15

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

hereafter promulgated by the state in which the Leased Premises are located, or
any political subdivision thereof, relating to such matters (collectively
"Environmental Laws"). Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that
there is no Environmental Condition known to Landlord which would prevent the
use of the Building by Tenant as warehouse and storage space. Tenant shall not,
however, be responsible for environmental conditions existing prior to Tenant’s
possession of the Leased Premises except for Tenant’s acts or omissions that
worsen, in any way, said conditions, and only to the extent of the worsening.
17.2    Compliance by Tenant.
Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease term, comply with all Environmental
Laws applicable to the Leased Premises and shall not, in the use and occupancy
of the Leased Premises, cause or contribute to, or permit or suffer any other
party to cause or contribute to any Environmental Condition on or about the
Leased Premises. Environmental Indemnity.
Tenant shall protect, indemnify and save harmless Landlord, Agent and all of
their respective members, directors, officers, employees and agents from and
against all liabilities, obligations, claims damages, penalties, causes of
action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature, contingent or otherwise, known or
unknown, incurred or imposed, based upon any Environmental Laws or resulting
from any Environmental Condition on or about the Leased Premises which occurs
due to the acts or omissions of Tenant or the Permitted Parties of Tenant
("Tenant Contamination"). In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought
against any of the parties indemnified herein by reason of any Tenant
Contamination, Tenant will, at Tenant's expense, by counsel reasonably approved
by Landlord, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding, or cause the
same to be resisted and defended. The obligations of Tenant under this Section
18.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and
Tenant shall, notwithstanding a termination of this Lease, continue to pay rent
for the Leased Premises in the same amount paid during the last year of the term
hereof until such time as all remediation work required to cure such matter has
been completed.
Landlord shall protect, indemnify and save harmless Tenant and all of its
respective members, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against
all liabilities, obligations, claims damages, penalties, causes of action, costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) of whatever kind or nature, contingent or otherwise, known or unknown,
incurred or imposed, based upon any Environmental Laws or resulting from any
Environmental Condition on or about the Leased Premises which occurs due to the
acts or omissions of Landlord or the Permitted Parties of Landlord ("Landlord
Contamination"). In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any
of the parties indemnified herein by reason of any Landlord Contamination,
Landlord will, at Landlord's expense, by counsel reasonably approved by Tenant,
resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding, or cause the same to be
resisted and defended. During any remediation necessitated of any Landlord
Contamination, the rent payable hereunder shall be equitably adjusted to the
extent of any material adverse interference with Tenant's use and occupancy of
the Leased Premises. The obligations of Landlord under this Section 18.3 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
17.3    Testing and Remedial Work.
Landlord may conduct tests and routine audits on or about the Leased Premises
for the purpose of determining the presence of any Environmental Condition. If
such tests and/or audits indicate the presence of an Environmental Condition on
or about the Leased Premises which occurs due to the acts or omissions of Tenant
or its Permitted Parties, Tenant shall, in addition to its other obligations
hereunder, reimburse Landlord for the cost of conducting such tests. Without
limiting Tenant's liability under Section 18.3 hereof, in the event of any such
Environmental Condition, Tenant shall promptly and at its sole cost

16

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

and expense, take any and all steps necessary to remedy the same, complying with
all provisions of applicable law and with Section 9.3(b) hereof. If Tenant fails
to promptly remedy same, then Tenant shall deposit with Landlord an amount
sufficient to cause the remediation of same, based upon Landlord's reasonable
estimate of the cost thereof, and upon completion of such work by Landlord,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord any shortfall promptly after Landlord bills Tenant
therefor, or Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant any excess deposit, as the
case may be.

Tenant shall abandon the Leased Premises during the term hereof; or

(g)
Tenant shall default in any payment of rent or in any other payment required to
be made by Tenant hereunder when due as herein provided (all of which other
payments shall be deemed "additional rent" payable hereunder), or shall default
under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof, and any such default shall continue for five
(5) business days after notice thereof in writing to Tenant; or

(h)
Tenant shall fail to contest the validity of any lien or claimed lien and give

rendered thereon, and such default continues for ten (10) days after notice
thereof in writing to Tenant; or

17

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

(i)
Tenant shall default in keeping, observing or performing any of the other
covenants or agreements herein contained to be kept, observed and performed by
Tenant, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice
thereof in writing to Tenant, provided, however, that if the nature of such
default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30)
day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence
such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter rectify and cure
such default with due diligence.

18.2    Remedies.
Upon the occurrence of any one or more of such events of default, Landlord may
at its election terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant's right to possession
only, without terminating the Lease. Upon termination of the Lease, or upon any
termination of Tenant's right to possession without termination of the Lease,
Tenant shall surrender possession in accordance with Section 17.1, and vacate
the Leased Premises immediately, and deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and
hereby grants to Landlord the full and free right, without demand or notice of
any kind to Tenant except as hereinabove expressly provided for, to enter into
and upon the Leased Premises in such event with or without process of Law and to
repossess the Leased Premises by force, self-help or otherwise without process
of law as Landlord's former estate and to expel or remove Tenant and any other
who may be occupying or within the Leased Premises without being deemed in any
manner guilty of trespass, eviction, or forcible entry or detainer, without
incurring any liability for any damages resulting therefrom and without
relinquishing Landlord's rights to rent or any other right given to Landlord
hereunder or by operation of law. Upon termination of the Lease, Landlord shall
be entitled to recover as damages all rent and other sums due and payable by
Tenant on the date of termination, plus (a) an amount equal to the value of the
rent and other sums provided herein to be paid by Tenant for the residue of the
stated term hereof, less the fair rental value of the Leased Premises for the
residue of the stated term (taking into account the time and expenses necessary
to obtain a replacement tenant or tenants, including expenses hereinafter
described relating to recovery of the Leased Premises, preparation for reletting
and for reletting itself), and (b) the cost of performing any other covenants to
be performed by Tenant. If Landlord elects to terminate Tenant's right to
possession only without terminating the Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord's
option, enter into the Leased Premises, remove Tenant's signs and other
evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof as hereinabove
provided, without such entry and possession terminating the Lease or releasing
Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's obligations to pay the rent hereunder
for the full term or from any other of its obligations under this Lease.
Landlord may relet all or any part of the Leased Premises for such rent and upon
such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord (including the right to relet
the Leased Premises for a term greater or lesser than that remaining under the
Lease term, and the right to relet the Leased Premises as a part of a larger
area, and the right to change the character or use made of the Leased Premises).
For the purpose of such reletting, Landlord may decorate or make any repairs,
changes, alterations or additions in or to the Leased Premises that may be
necessary or convenient. If Landlord does not relet the Leased Premises,
notwithstanding good faith efforts to do so, Tenant shall continue to pay to
Landlord on demand the monthly rent due hereunder, and other sums provided
herein to be paid by Tenant. If the Leased Premises are relet and a sufficient
sum shall not be realized from such reletting after paying all of the expenses
of such decorations, repairs, changes, alterations, additions, the expenses of
such reletting and the collection of the rent accruing therefrom (including, but
not by way of limitation, attorneys' fees and brokers' commissions), to satisfy
the rent and other charges herein provided to be paid for the remainder of the
Lease term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency and Tenant
agrees that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages
arising out of Tenant's default; Landlord shall not be deemed to have failed to
use such reasonable efforts by reason of the fact that Landlord has leased or
sought to lease other vacant premises owned by Landlord, whether on the Real
Estate or not, in preference to reletting the Leased Premises, or by reason of
the fact that Landlord has sought to relet the Leased Premises at a rental rate
higher than that payable by Tenant under the Lease (but not in excess of the
then current market rental rate). If Tenant shall default under Section 19.1

18

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

(i) and if such default cannot with due diligence be cured within said period of
thirty (30) days after notice in writing shall have been given to Tenant, and if
Tenant promptly commences to eliminate such default, and vigorously pursues such
cure to completion thereafter, then Landlord shall not have the right to declare
said term ended by reason of such default or to repossess without terminating
the Lease so long as Tenant is proceeding diligently and with reasonable
dispatch to take all steps and do all work required to cure such default, and
does so cure such default, provided, however, that the curing of any default in
such manner shall not be construed to limit or restrict the right of Landlord to
declare the said term ended or to repossess without terminating the Lease, and
to enforce all of its rights and remedies hereunder for any other default not
timely cured.
18.3    Remedies Cumulative.
No remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Landlord shall be
considered to exclude or suspend any other remedy but the same shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, and every power and
remedy given by this Lease to Landlord may be exercised from time to time and so
often as occasion may arise or as may be deemed expedient.
18.4    No Waiver.
No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or power arising from any
default shall impair any such right or power to be construed to be a waiver of
any such default or any acquiescence therein. No waiver of any breach of any of
the covenants of this Lease shall be construed, taken or held to be a waiver of
any other breach, or as a waiver, acquiescence in or consent to any further or
succeeding breach of the same covenant. The acceptance by Landlord of any
payment of rent or other charges hereunder after the termination by Landlord of
this Lease or of Tenant's right to possession hereunder shall not, in the
absence of agreement in writing to the contrary to Landlord, be deemed to
restore this Lease or Tenant's right to possession hereunder, as the case may
be, but shall be construed as a payment on account, and not in satisfaction of
damages due from Tenant to Landlord.
18.5    [Intentionally Deleted].
18.6    Delinquent Rent.
In the event Tenant shall be late in the payment of rent or other charges
required to be paid hereunder more than two (2) times in any twelve (12)
calendar month period (provided notice of such payment or other monetary default
shall have been given to Tenant, but regardless of whether Tenant shall have
timely cured any such payment or other defaults of which notice was given), and
in addition to the other remedies set forth herein, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as liquidated damages, ten percent (10%) of such delinquent amount,
together with such delinquent amount.

(10) days' prior written request from the other, execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the requesting party, in form reasonably satisfactory to the
requesting party, a written statement certifying (if true) that Tenant has
accepted the Leased Premises, that this Lease is unmodified and in full force
and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force
and effect as modified and stating the modifications), that the other party is
not in default hereunder, the date to which the rental and other charges have
been paid in advance, if any, whether Tenant has any rights of setoff or
self-help under this Lease, and such other accurate certifications as may
reasonably be required by the requesting party or its mortgagee, agreeing to
give copies to any mortgagee of all notices required under this Lease and
agreeing to afford the requesting party's mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to
cure any default. It is intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to
this subsection may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of
the Leased Premises or Real Estate and their respective successors and assigns.
20.3    Landlord's and Tenant's Right to Cure/Landlord Default.
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any default by Tenant
(specifically including, but not by way of limitation, Tenant's failure to
obtain insurance, make repairs, or satisfy lien claims); and whenever Landlord
so elects, all costs and expenses paid by Landlord in curing such default,
including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be so much
additional rent due on the next rent date after such payment together with
interest (except in the case of said attorneys' fees) at the highest rate then
payable by Tenant in the State of Ohio, or, in the absence of such a maximum
rate, at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4%) in excess of the announced
prime rate of interest of PNC National Bank, Columbus, Ohio in effect on the
date of such advance, from the date of the advance to the date of repayment by
Tenant to Landlord.
Any failure by Landlord to observe or perform any provision, covenant or
condition of this Lease to be observed or performed by Landlord, if such failure
continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to
Landlord, shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease, provided,
however, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot
reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be
deemed to be in default if it shall commence such cure within such thirty (30)
day period and thereafter rectify and cure such default with due diligence.
Tenant may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any default by Landlord solely
with respect to the Leased Premises (specifically including, but not by way of
limitation, Landlord's failure to obtain insurance or make repairs); and
whenever Tenant so elects, all reasonable costs and expenses are paid by Tenant
in curing such default, including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees,
shall be reimbursed by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after demand
therefor, together with copies of all invoices evidencing such expenditures,
together with interest (except in the case of said attorneys' fees) at the
highest rate then payable by Landlord in the State of Ohio, or, in the absence
of such a maximum rate, at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4%) in excess
of the announced prime rate of interest of PNC National Bank, Columbus, Ohio in
effect on the date of such advance, from the date of the advance to the date of
repayment by Landlord to Tenant. In the event Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant
within such thirty (30) days, Tenant shall have the option to deduct the
reasonable cost of the cure from twenty-five percent (25%) of the rent and
charges otherwise due hereunder. Tenant shall also have any and all rights
available under the laws of the state in which the Leased Premises are situated.
20.4    Amendments Must Be in Writing.
This document contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof. None of the covenants, terms or conditions
of this Lease, to be kept and performed by either party, shall in any manner be
altered, waived, modified, changed or abandoned except by a written instrument,
duly signed and delivered by both parties hereto.

than in the description of the Leased Premises, the term, the purpose or the
rent or other changes hereunder, or in any other regard as will substantially or
materially affect the rights of Tenant under this Lease), Landlord shall give
written notice thereof to Tenant, which notice shall be accompanied by a Lease
Supplement Agreement embodying such amendments and supplements. Tenant shall,
within ten (10) days after the effective date of Landlord's notice, either
consent to such amendments and supplements (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) and execute the tendered Lease Supplement Agreement, or
deliver to Landlord a written statement of its reason or reasons for refusing to
so consent and execute. Failure of Tenant to respond within said ten (10) day
period shall be a default under this Lease without further notice.
20.16    Signs.
Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all permissions, approvals, permits
and licenses required or deemed necessary by Tenant relating to the signs
desired by Tenant and described below. Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with
Tenant’s efforts; provided however, all such cooperation shall be at Tenant’s

In the event either party hereto (the "Delayed Party") shall be delayed or
hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required under this
Lease by reason of strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure
materials, failure of power, the unforeseen application of restrictive
governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, war, acts of terrorism or
other reason of a like nature not the fault of the Delayed Party in performing

such act shall be excused for the period of the delay, and the period for the
performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the
period of such delay, provided that the Delayed Party notified the other party
within fifteen (15) days of the Delayed Party being informed of the occurrence

constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Leased
Premises and this document shall become effective and binding only upon the

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

20.22    Exculpatory Clause.
Except with respect to any damages resulting from the gross negligence of
Landlord, its agents, or employees, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its
agents, employees, or customers for any damages, losses, compensation,
accidents, or claims whatsoever. The foregoing notwithstanding, it is expressly
understood and agreed that nothing in this Lease contained shall be construed as
creating any liability whatsoever against Landlord personally, its members,
officers, directors, shareholders or partners, and in particular without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, there shall be no personal liability
to pay any indebtedness accruing hereunder or to perform any covenant, either
express or implied, herein contained, or to keep, preserve or sequester any
property of Landlord, and that all personal liability of Landlord of every sort,
if any, is hereby expressly waived by Tenant, to the extent permitted by law,
and by every person now or hereafter claiming any right or security hereunder;
and that so far as the parties hereto are concerned, the owner of any
indebtedness or liability accruing hereunder shall look solely to the Leased
Premises for the payment thereof.

directors, shareholders, partners, or their successors or assigns under any
provisions of or with respect to this Lease or on account of any matter,
condition or circumstance arising out of the relationship of the parties under
this Lease, Tenant's occupancy of the building or Landlord's ownership of the
Leased Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to have execution upon any such final,
unappealable judgment only upon Landlord's fee simple estate in the Real Estate
and the rents and profits thereof, and not out of any other assets of Landlord,
or any of its members, officers, directors, shareholders or partners, or their
successor or assigns; and Landlord shall be entitled to have any such judgment
so qualified as to constitute a lien only on said fee simple estate and the
rents and profits thereof.
20.23    [Intentionally Deleted].
20.24    [Intentionally Deleted].
20.25    Consent.
Whenever this Lease requires the consent of either party hereto, such consent
