Security.  Tenant has this day deposited with Landlord the sum of $11,382.00, as security for the pay­ment of the Rent hereunder and the full and faithful performance by Tenant of the covenants and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed.  Said sum shall be returned to Tenant, without interest, after the expiration of the Term hereof provided that Tenant has fully and faithfully performed all such covenants and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed.  During the Term hereof, Landlord may, if Landlord so elects, have recourse to such security, to make good any default by Tenant in which event Tenant, shall, on demand, promptly restore said security to its original amount.

Tenant shall not mortgage, encumber or assign said security without the prior written consent of Landlord.

The approximate rentable area of the Demised Premises leased to Tenant is approximately 2,046 square feet.  The total rentable area of the building of which the Demised Premises are a part is approximately 57,099 square feet. Tenant's share of costs and charges, if applicable, as set forth in this Lease shall be determined by dividing the rentable square footage of the Demised Premises by the total rentable square footage of the building of which the Demised Premises is a part (“Tenant’s Proportionate Share”).  As of the Commencement Date it is, therefore, established that Tenant's Proportionate Share is three and fifty eight one-hundredths percent (3.58%).

Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be adjusted from time to time as appropriate based upon adjustments to the total square footage of the building and/or the square footage rented by Tenant.

3)

	
Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay monthly Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses based upon Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the current year expenses due from Tenant. Thereafter, Landlord shall provide an actual statement of expenses to Tenant on a calendar year basis and Tenant shall pay or receive a credit for the difference between the actual amount and the estimate.  Tenant's subsequent monthly estimated payments shall be adjusted accordingly.   Upon Tenant's request, Landlord shall provide to Tenant copies of invoices substantiating the statement of actual expenses.  To the extent that Landlord incurs expenses that are disproportionately allocable to Tenant as a result of Tenant's occupancy as  determined by Landlord, Tenant's Proportionate Share shall not apply to said disproportionate expense items and Tenant shall pay the amount that is actually incurred by Landlord as a result of its tenancy.

At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute and deliver an agreement, in form satisfactory to Landlord, setting forth any modifications to this Lease contemplated or resulting from the operation of this Section;  however, neither Landlord’s failure to request such agreement nor Tenant’s failure to execute such agreement shall vitiate the effect of any cancellation pursuant to this Section.

28th

Accordingly:













	
  

	
1)

Default;  Remedies upon Tenant’s Default.  If there should occur any default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any conditions and cove­nants herein contained including, without limitation, the payment of Rent when due, or if during the Term hereof the Demised Premises or any part thereof shall be or become abandoned or deserted, vacated or vacant, or should Tenant be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies herein contained or as may be permitted by law, may either by force or otherwise, without being liable for prosecution therefor or for damages, re-enter the Demised Premises and have and again possess and enjoy the same; and as agent for Tenant or otherwise, re-let the Demised Premises and receive the rents therefor and apply the same, first to the payment of such expenses, reasonable attorney fees and costs, as Landlord may have incurred in the re-entering and repossessing of the same and in making such repairs and alterations as may be necessary; and second to the payment of the Rent due hereunder. Tenant shall remain liable for such Rent as may be in arrears and also the Rent as may accrue subsequent to the re-entry by Landlord, to the extent of the difference between the Rent reserved hereunder and the Rent, if any, received by Landlord during the remainder of the unexpired term hereof, after deducting the aforementioned expenses, fees and costs; the same to be paid as such deficiencies arise and are ascertained each month.  Landlord shall have the right to elect to terminate the Term by giving notice of such election, and the effective date thereof, to Tenant and to receive Termination Damages, defined as the amount which, at the time of actual payment thereof to Landlord, is the sum of :













	
  

	
1)

	
all accrued but unpaid Rent;













	
  

	
2)

	
the present value (calculated using the most recently available (at the time of calculation) published weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities having maturities comparable to the balance of the then remaining Term) of the sum of all payments of Rent remaining due (at the time of calculation­) until the date the Term would have expired (had there been no election to terminate it earlier) less the present value (similarly calculated) of all payments of Rent to be received through the end of the Term (had there been no election to terminate it earlier) from a lessee, if any, of the Demised Premises under commercially reasonable terms existing at the time of calculation (and it shall be assumed for purposes of such calculations that (i) the amount of future Additional Rent due per year under this Agreement will be equal to the average Additional Rent per month due during the twelve (l2) calendar months immediately preceding the date of any such calculation, increasing annually at a rate of eight percent (8%) compounded; and  (ii) if any calculation is made before the end of the first full calendar year of occupancy under this Lease, operating expenses may be extrapolated based on the year-to-date experience of Landlord);













	
  

	
3)

	
Landlord's cost of demolishing any leasehold improvements to the Demised Premises; and













	
  

	
4)

	
that amount, which as of the occurrence of the default on the part of Tenant, bears the same ratio to the costs, if any, incurred by Landlord (and not paid by Tenant) in building out the Demised Premises in accordance with this Lease as the number of months remaining in the Term (immediately before the occurrence of the said default) bears to the number of months in the entire Term (immediately before the occurrence of the said default).

Upon the occurrence of any of the contingencies set forth in  the 29th Section of this Lease, or should Tenant be adjudicated a bankrupt, insolvent or placed in receivership, or should proceedings be instituted by or against Tenant for bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, agreement of composition or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if this Lease or the estate of Tenant hereunder shall pass to another by virtue of any court proceedings, writ of execution, levy, sale or by operation of law, Landlord may, if Landlord so elects, at any time thereafter, terminate this Lease and the Term hereof, upon giving to Tenant or to any trustee, receiver, assignee or other person in charge of or acting as custodian of the assets or property of Tenant, five (5) days notice. Upon the giving of such notice, this Lease and the Term hereof shall end on the date fixed in such notice as if the said date was the date originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration hereof; and Landlord shall have the right to remove all persons, goods, fixtures and chattels therefrom, by force or otherwise, without liability for damages.

five (5) days with respect to defaults in the payment of Rent; and

sixty (60) days with respect to an adjudication of bankruptcy of Tenant or any assignment by Tenant for the benefit of its creditors; and













	
  

	
3)

	
ten (10) days with respect to all other acts of default; and if the correction of the said event of default requires the performance by Tenant of any work which cannot reasonably be performed within such time period, the said period shall be extended until said work is completed provided that Tenant commences the performance of said work and thereafter promptly and diligently pursues said work to completion.  In any such event, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with written evidence of its acts and efforts in the performance and completion of any said work and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord and each mortgagee of the Property from and against any and all liabilities, damages, claims, losses, judgments, causes of action, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) which may be incurred by the Landlord or any such mortgagee relating to or arising out of the Tenant's failure to complete the work within the time required hereunder.

Non-Waiver by Landlord.  The various rights, remedies, options and elections of Landlord expressed herein are cumulative, and the failure of Landlord to enforce strict performance by Tenant of the conditions and covenants of this Lease or to exercise any remedy herein conferred or the acceptance by Landlord of any installment of Rent after any breach by Tenant, in one or more instances, shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver or a relinquishment for the future by Landlord of any such conditions, covenants, options, elections or remedies, but the same shall continue in full force and effect.

Waiver of Redemption.  Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease or in the event of entry of judgment for the recovery of possession of the Demised Premises in any action or proceeding, or if Landlord shall enter the Demised Premises by process of law or otherwise, Tenant, for itself and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including, but not limited to, its creditors, hereby waives and surrenders any right or privileges of redemption provided or permitted by any statute, law or decision now or hereafter in force, to the extent legally authorized, and does hereby waive and surrender all rights or privileges which it may or might have under and by reason of any present or future law or decision, to redeem the Demised Premises or for a continuation of this Lease after having been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law, or otherwise.  Such expiration or termination shall not release or discharge any obligation of Tenant to pay Rent or any other liability incurred by reason of any covenant herein contained on the part of Tenant to be performed.

Any such certificate may be relied upon by Landlord and any other person, firm or corporation to whom the same may be exhibited or delivered, and Tenant shall be bound by the contents of such certificate.  A refusal by Tenant to execute and deliver such certificate in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall entitle Landlord to the option of canceling this Lease on five (5) days notice.









 



	
42nd

	
Attornment.  Neither the foreclosure of any mortgage affecting the Demised Premises, nor the institution of any suit, action, summary, or other proceeding by Landlord or any mortgagee, nor the sale, conveyance or transfer of the Demised Premises by Landlord, shall result, by operation of law or otherwise, in the cancellation or termination of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and Tenant covenants and agrees to attorn to Landlord, the holder of any mortgage, or the purchaser, grantee, or transferee of the Demised Premises.

Condemnation and Eminent Domain.  If the land and Property of which the Demised Premises are a part, or any portion thereof, shall be taken under eminent domain or condemnation proceedings, or if suit or other action shall be instituted for the taking or condemnation thereof, or in lieu of any formal condemnation proceedings or actions, Landlord shall grant an option to purchase and or shall sell and convey the Property or any portion thereof, to the governmental or other public authority, agency body or public utility seeking to take the Property or any portion thereof, then this Lease, at the option of Landlord, shall terminate, and the Term hereof shall end as of such date as Landlord shall fix by notice in writing as if such date were the date designated as the last day of the Term set forth above; and Tenant shall have no claim or right to claim or be entitled to any portion of any amount which may be awarded as damages or paid as the result of such condemnation proceedings or paid as the purchase price for such option, sale or conveyance in lieu of formal condemnation proceedings; and all rights of Tenant to damages, if any, are hereby assigned to Landlord.

Tenant covenants and agrees at its sole cost and expense to vacate the Demised Premises, remove all Tenant’s personal prop­erty therefrom and deliver up peaceable possession thereof to Landlord or to such other party designated by Landlord in the aforementioned notice.  Failure by Tenant to comply with any provisions in this clause shall subject Tenant to such costs, expenses, damages and losses as Landlord may incur by reason of Tenant’s breach hereof including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees.













	
44th

	
Fire and other Casualty.  In case of fire or other casualty affecting the Demised Premises, Tenant shall give immediate notice to Landlord or, in case of fire or other casualty affecting the Property other than the Demised Premises, Tenant shall give immediate notice to Landlord upon Tenant obtaining knowledge of such fire or casualty.  If the Demised Premises shall be partially damaged by fire, the elements or other casualty, Landlord shall repair the same as speedily as practicable, but Tenant’s obligation to pay the Rent hereunder shall not cease.  If, in the opinion of Landlord, the Demised Premises is so exten­sively and substantially damaged as to render them untenantable, then the Rent shall cease until such time as the Demised Premises shall be made tenantable by Landlord.  However, if, in the opinion of Landlord, the Demised Premises is totally destroyed or so extensively and substantially damaged as to require practically a rebuilding thereof, then the Rent shall be paid up to the time of such destruction and then and from thenceforth this Lease shall automatically and without notice come to an end.  In no event however, shall the provisions of this clause become effective or be applicable, if the fire or other casualty and damage shall be the result of the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, guests, licensees, invitees, subtenants, assignees or successors.  In such case, Tenant’s liability for the payment of the Rent and the performance of all the cov­enants, conditions and terms hereof on Tenant’s part to be performed shall continue and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the damage and loss suffered by Landlord.  If Tenant shall have been insured against any of the risks herein covered, then the proceeds of such insurance shall be paid over to Landlord to the extent of Landlord’s costs and expenses to make the repairs hereunder, and such insurance carriers shall have no recourse against Landlord for reimbursement.
