    Notwithstanding
the forgoing provisions of the above section, Landlord shall have the right,
upon thirty (30) days written notice, to require Tenant to pay Tenant’s Pro Rata
Share of Water and Sewer Charges, Taxes, Common Area Expenses and Trash Removal
Services in quarterly or semi-annual payments rather than on a monthly basis as

    MUNICIPAL
REGULATING

    5.                 A.  Tenant
shall observe, comply with and execute at its expense, all laws, orders, rules,
requirements, and regulations of the United States, State, City or County of the
said State, in which the Premises is located, and of any and all governmental
authorities or agencies and of any board of fire underwriters or other similar

less than twenty feet (20') in height, the Tenant shall not be
required to install in-rack sprinklers unless the laws, regulations
and ordinances are hereafter changed or amended to lower the
height at which in-rack sprinklers are required to be
installed and such height is below the then existing actual
height of the racking installed in the Premises; provided, that in such event
the Tenant shall have the right to reduce the height of the racking system to a
height that would not require the installation of in-rack sprinklers rather than
install in-rack sprinklers.

     

    ASSIGNMENT
AND SUBLET

    6.                 A.           Tenant
shall not assign this Lease, in whole or in part, or sublet the Premises, or any
part or portion thereof, or grant any license or concession for any part of the

under this Lease (a) the sale of shares of Tenant if the Tenant is a corporation
whose shares are traded on a recognized domestic or foreign public stock
exchange and such trading is not for the purpose of acquiring effective control
of Tenant, or (b) the transfers of such stock from private to public ownership
if Tenant is a private corporation whose stock becomes publicly
held.

     

    INSURANCE

     

         7.                      A.  TENANT’S
INSURANCE

     

    Throughout
the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall obtain and maintain:

    


    1.  Business
Personal Property insurance covering Special Causes of Loss.  Such
Business Personal Property insurance shall not be in an amount less than that
required to replace all of the Tenant’s trade fixtures, decorations,
furnishings, equipment and personal property and in an amount required to avoid
the application of any coinsurance provision.  Such Business Personal
Property insurance shall contain a Replacement Cost valuation
provision.

     

    2.  Commercial
General Liability insurance (written on an occurrence basis) including
Contractual Liability coverage insuring the obligations assumed by Tenant under
this Lease, Premises and Operations coverage, Personal Injury Liability
coverage, Independent Contractor’s Liability coverage.  Such
Commercial General Liability insurance shall be in minimum amounts typically
carried by prudent businesses engaged in similar operations, but in no event
shall be in an amount less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) combined single
limit per occurrence with a Three Million Dollar ($3,000,000) annual
aggregate.  If Tenant conducts operations at locations and/or projects
other than the Premises, such annual aggregate limit will be expressed on a “per
location” and/or “per project” basis, as may be the case.  Tenant
agrees to notify Landlord of any erosion in its Commercial General Liability
annual aggregate limit within ten (10) days of being advised of such erosion by
its insurer or insurance agent.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    All such
insurance shall: (i) be issued by a company that has a rating equal to or
exceeding A: XI from A.M. Best Company; (ii) name Landlord and the holder of any
Mortgage if requested by mortgagee as Additional Insured, as applicable (for
General Liability insurance, this will be accomplished by use of policy form CG
2011 [November, 1985 edition date] or its equivalent); (iii) contain an
endorsement prohibiting cancellation, failure to renew, reduction of amount of
insurance or reduction in the scope of coverage without the insurer first giving
Landlord thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested) of such proposed action (no less than ten [10]
days’ notice of cancellation or failure to renew for non-payment of
premium).

     

    No such
Commercial General Liability insurance shall contain a self-insured retention
provision except as otherwise approved in writing by Landlord, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.  Landlord reserves the right from time to time but no more
than once a year to
require Tenant to obtain higher minimum amounts or different types of insurance
if it becomes customary for other landlords of similar buildings as that which
contains the Premises to require similar-sized tenants in similar industries to
carry insurance of such higher minimum amounts or of different
types.  At the commencement of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver a
certificate of all required insurance and will continue throughout the term of
this Lease to do so not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any
required policy of insurance.  Neither the issuance of any insurance
policy required under this Lease nor the minimum limits specified herein shall
be deemed to limit or restrict in any way Tenant’s liability arising under or
out of this Lease.

     

    All
insurance obtained by Tenant and
Landlord shall
provide that the insurer thereunder waives all right of recovery by way of
subrogation against the other, its partners, employees, agents, representatives
in connection with any loss or damage covered by such policy. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its
partners, employees, agents, representatives and any other party required to be
indemnified and/or held harmless under the terms of any written contract or
agreement with Landlord pertaining to this Lease and/or to the Premises, from
and against all claims, damages, losses, costs and/or expenses, including, but
not limited to attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from Tenant’s
negligent acts or omissions, occupancy of the Premises or obligations under this
Lease.  Such indemnification and/or hold harmless shall not be
invalidated by the partial negligence of one or more of the
indemnities.  If the laws of the governing jurisdiction do not permit
such an indemnification and/or hold harmless, then Tenant’s obligations to
indemnify and hold harmless the indemnities will be to the fullest extent
permitted and all other parts of this Lease and this paragraph will
apply.

     

    B.  LANDLORD’S
INSURANCE

the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall obtain and maintain:

    3.      All
insurance obtained by Landlord shall provide that the insurer thereunder waives
all right of recovery by way of subrogation against Tenant, its partners,
employees, agents, representatives and any other party required to be the
recipient of such a waiver under the terms of any written contract or agreement
with Tenant pertaining to this Lease and/or to the Common Areas of the Property,
in connection with any loss or damage covered by such policy.  To the
fullest extent permitted by law, Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless
Tenant, its partners, employees, agents, representatives and any other party
required to be indemnified and/or held harmless under the terms of any written
contract or agreement with Tenant pertaining to this Lease and/or to the Common
Areas, from and against all claims, damages, losses, costs and/or expenses,
including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees, arising out of or resulting from
Landlord’s acts or omissions, use and maintenance of the Common Areas or
obligations under this Lease.  Such indemnification and/or hold
harmless shall not be invalidated by the partial negligence of one or more of
the indemnities.  If the laws of the governing jurisdiction do not
permit such an indemnification and/or hold harmless, then Landlord’s obligations
to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnities will be to the fullest extent
permitted and all other parts of this Lease and this paragraph will
apply.

Tenant’s expense all permits pertaining to the alterations.  Tenant
also agrees to obtain, prior to commencing to make such alterations, and to keep
in full force and effect at all time while such alterations are being made, all
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, such policies of insurance pertaining to such
alterations and/or to the making thereof as Landlord reasonably may request or
require Tenant to obtain, including, but not limited to, public liability and
property damage insurance, and to furnish Landlord evidence satisfactory to
Landlord of the existence of such insurance prior to Tenant’s beginning to make

franchise, minor privilege or any other tax or increase in tax, assessment or
increase in assessment, such franchise, privilege, tax or assessment shall be
paid, immediately upon its levy and subsequent levy, by Tenant.

     

    D.  Unless

the event Tenant shall fail to pay said installments of Annual Rent, Additional
Rent or any other sum required by the terms of this Lease, additional written
agreements or addenda of this Lease to be paid by Tenant, and such failure shall
continue for five (5) days after Landlord has given written notice thereof to

Landlord’s discretion, this tenancy shall terminate. In the event Tenant shall
fail to comply with any of the provisions, covenants or conditions of this
Lease, on its part to be kept and performed, and such default shall continue for

    A.   Landlord’s Election to
Retake Possession Without Termination of Lease

    Landlord
may retake possession of the Premises and shall have the right, but not the
obligation, without being deemed to have accepted a surrender thereof, and
without terminating this Lease, to relet the same for the remainder of the Term
upon terms and conditions satisfactory to Landlord; and if the rent received
from such reletting does not at least equal the Annual Rent and other sums
payable by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay and satisfy the deficiency between
the amount of Annual Rent and other sums so provided in this Lease and the
Annual Rent received through reletting the Premises; and, in addition, Tenant
shall pay reasonable expenses in connection with any such reletting, including,
but not limited to, the cost of renovating, altering, and decorating for any
occupancy, leasing commissions paid to any real estate broker or agent, and

              3)

            	
              damages

              5)

            	
              all
      reasonable costs incurred in
      recovering the Premises, restoring the Premises to good order and
      condition, and all commissions incurred by Landlord in reletting the
      Premises; and

            


    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              6)

            	
              any
      other reasonable amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment

    DAMAGE

     

          11.  In
the case of the total destruction of the Premises by fire, other casualties, the
elements or other cause, or of such damage thereto as shall render the same
totally unfit for occupancy by Tenant for more than sixty (60) days, this Lease,
upon surrender and delivery to Landlord of the Premises, together with the
payment of the monthly installments of Annual Rent and Additional Rent to the
date of such occurrence, shall terminate and be at an end, and both parties shall be
released from all obligations under this Lease.  If the Premises are
rendered partly untenantable by any cause mentioned in the preceding sentence,
Landlord shall, at its own expense, restore the Premises with all reasonable
diligence, and the monthly installments of Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall
be abated proportionately for the period of said partial untenantability and
until the Premises shall have been fully restored by Landlord.

     

    BANKRUPTCY

     

         12.  In
the event of the appointment of a receiver or trustee for Tenant by any court,
Federal and State, in any legal proceedings under any provisions of the
Bankruptcy Act, if the appointment of such receiver or such trustee is not
vacated within sixty (60) days, or if said Tenant be adjudicated bankrupt or
insolvent, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, then
and in any of said events, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this tenancy
by thirty (30) days
written notice, and re-enter upon the Premises.

     

    POSSESSION/BENEFICIAL
OCCUPANCY

     

         13.  Landlord
covenants and agrees that possession of the Premises shall be given to Tenant as
soon as the Premises are ready for occupancy.  If possession, cannot
be given to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date, Landlord agrees to abate
the rent proportionately until possession is given to said Tenant and Tenant
agrees to accept such prorated abatement as liquidated damages for the failure
to obtain possession.  If possession of the Premises is not given to
the Tenant by May 1, 2009, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease by providing Landlord with ten (10) days’ written notice.

     

    If Tenant
occupies any portion of the Premises prior to tender of possession thereof by
Landlord, such occupancy shall be deemed to be beneficial occupancy and a
proportionate share of the Annual Rent and Additional Rent shall be due and
payable as to that portion of the Premises so occupied, immediately upon
Tenant’s occupancy.  Such occupancy by Tenant and installments of
Annual Rent and Additional Rent thereby due shall not depend on official
governmental approval of such occupancy, state of completion of building,
availability or connection of utilities and services including but not limited
to water, sewer, well water, septic system, gas, oil, or electric.  No
Annual Rent credit shall be given because of lack of utilities or services
unless caused by the negligence of Landlord.

    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if any utility service to the
Premises is interrupted for more than seventy-two (72) consecutive hours as a

Annual Rent and all Additional Rent.

covenants and agrees that:

     

    A.  It
shall not place or permit any signs, lights, awnings or poles on or about the
exterior of the Premises without the prior permission, in writing, of
Landlord, such
permission to not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and in the
event such consent is given, Tenant agrees to pay any minor privileges or other
tax associated with Tenant’s signage, lights, awnings, or poles.

     

    B.  Landlord,

will not paint or make any changes of the Premises without the written consent
of Landlord.  Tenant agrees that it will not do anything on the
outside of the Premises to change the uniform architecture, paint or appearance
of said building, without the written consent of Landlord.

     

    C.  Landlord

for ninety (90) days prior to termination of this Lease and to place a “For
Sale” sign thereon at any time.

          15.  Tenant
further covenants and agrees not to put any items on the sidewalk or parking lot
in the front, rear, or sides of said building or block said sidewalk, and not to
do anything that directly or indirectly takes away any of the rights of ingress
or egress from any other tenant of Landlord or do anything which will, in any
way, change the uniform and general design of the Property of which the Premises

    WATER

          16.  Tenant
covenants and agrees that Landlord shall not be held responsible for and
Landlord is hereby released and relieved from any liability by reason of or
resulting from damage or injury to person or property of Tenant or of anyone
else, directly or indirectly caused by (a) dampness or water in any part of the
Premises or in any part of any other property of Landlord or of others and/or
(b) any leak or break in any part of the Premises or in any part of any other
property of Landlord or of others or in the pipes of the plumbing or heating
works thereof, unless the damage is due to Landlord’s negligent act or
omission.

     

    LIABILITY

     

          17.  Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or injury to Tenant or to any other
person or to the property of Tenant or of any other person unless such loss or
damage shall be caused by or result from a negligent act or omission solely on
the part of Landlord or any of its agents, servants, or
employees.  Tenant shall, and does hereby, indemnify and hold harmless
Landlord and any other parties in interest from and against any and all
liabilities, fines, claims, damages and actions, costs and expenses of any kind
or nature (including attorneys’ fees) and of anyone whatsoever (i) relating to
or arising from Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises; (ii) due to or
arising out of any mechanic’s lien filed against the building, or any part

furnished to Tenant, or (iii) due to or arising out of any breach, violation or
nonperformance of any covenant, condition or agreement in this Lease set forth
beyond any applicable notice and cure period and contained on the
part of Tenant to be fulfilled, kept, observed or performed.

     

    In the event Landlord provides any
Security Guard or Access Control Services as described herein in Section 4c,
Landlord is hereby released from any responsibility for any damages either to
person or property sustained by Tenant incurred in connection with or arising
from acts or omissions of any Security Guard or Access Control Services provided
by Landlord.

     

    RIGHT
OF ENTRY

     

          18.  It
is understood and agreed that Landlord, and its agents, servants, and employees,
including any builder or contractor employed by Landlord, shall have, and Tenant
hereby gives them and each of them, the absolute, and unconditional right,
license and permission with reasonable notice,
at any and all reasonable times, and for any reasonable purpose whatsoever, to
enter through, across or upon the Premises or any part thereof, and, at the
option of Landlord, to make such reasonable repairs to or changes in the
Premises as Landlord may deem necessary or proper, provided that Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to avoid material interference to the conduct of Tenant’s
business operations therein except in the event of an
emergency.  Tenant agrees that Landlord and its agents
and assigns have the unconditional right to show the Premises for lease at any
time, with reasonable notice once Tenant

         19.  It
is agreed that the term of this Lease expires on February 28, 2019, without the
necessity of any notice by or to any of the parties hereto.  If Tenant

absence of any written agreement to the contrary, said Tenant shall hold the
Premises as a “Tenant from month to month”, subject to all the other terms and
conditions of this Lease, at one hundred and fifty percent (150%) the highest

not limited to, lighting, mechanical, electrical and plumbing
systems.

     

    CONDEMNATION

     

          20.  It
is agreed that in the event condemnation proceedings are instituted against the
Property, or the Premises and possession

award.

     

    SUBORDINATION

     

          21.  It
is agreed that Landlord shall have the right to place a mortgage or deed of

of said subordination.  Furthermore, if any person or entity shall
succeed to all or part of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, whether by

of lease, or otherwise, Tenant shall automatically attorn to such successor in
interest, which attornment shall be self operative and effective upon the
signing of this Lease, and Tenant shall execute such other agreement in

request.  Landlord shall provide Tenant a Subordination Attornment and
Non-Disturbance (SNDA) Agreement from its lender(s) in the lender’s standard

    REMEDIES
NOT EXCLUSIVE

     

          23.  No
remedy conferred upon Landlord shall be considered exclusive of any other
remedy, but shall be in addition to every other remedy available to Landlord
under this Lease or as a matter of law.  Every remedy available to
Landlord may be exercised concurrently or from time to time, as often as the
occasion may arise.  Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any
and all rights which it may have to request a jury trial in any proceeding at
law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction.

     

    NON-WAIVER

     

         24.  It
is agreed that the failure of either party to insist in any one or
more instances upon a strict performance of any covenant of this Lease or to
exercise any right herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future of such covenant or right, but the same shall
remain in full force and effect, unless the contrary is expressed in writing by
Landlord.  The receipt of the monthly installments of Annual Rent or
Additional Rent by Landlord, with knowledge of any breach of this Lease by
Tenant or of any default on the part of Tenant hereunder, shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any provisions of this Lease.  Neither acceptance of
the keys nor any other act or thing done by Landlord or any agent or employee of
Landlord shall be deemed to be an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises,
excepting only an agreement in writing by Landlord accepting or agreeing to
accept such surrender.

     

    SECURITY
DEPOSIT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     

          25.  A
security deposit of $8,250.00 is required to accompany this Lease, when
submitted for approval by Landlord, subject to all the conditions of the
security deposit agreement attached.  If this Lease is not approved by
Landlord within thirty (30) days of its submission to Landlord, the security
deposit will be refunded in full within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s rejection
of this Lease.

     

    FINAL
AGREEMENT

     

         26.  This
Lease contains the final and entire agreement between the parties hereto, and
neither they nor their agents shall be bound by any terms, conditions or
representations not herein written.

     

    LEGAL
EXPENSE

     

         27.  In
the event, to enforce the terms of this Lease, either party files legal action
against the other, and is successful in said action, the losing party agrees to
pay all reasonable expenses to the prevailing party, including the attorneys’
fee incident to said legal action including any
appeals.  In the event that Landlord is successful in any legal action
filed against Tenant, Landlord’s expenses incident to said legal action shall be
due as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of invoice.

     

    LAND

     

         28.  It
is agreed that the Premises is the building area occupied by Tenant and only the

    ENVIRONMENTAL
REQUIREMENTS

     

         30.  Tenant
hereby covenants and agrees that if at any time it is determined that there are
materials placed on the Premises by Tenant which, under any environmental
requirements require special handling in collection, storage, treatment, or
disposal, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof,
take or cause to be taken, at its sole expense, such actions as may be necessary
to comply with all environmental requirements.   If Tenant shall
fail to take such action, Landlord may make advances or payments towards
performance or satisfaction of the same but shall be under no obligation to do
so; and all sums so advanced or paid, including all sums advanced or paid in
connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or proceeding
relating thereto, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
fines, or other penalty payments, shall be at once repayable by Tenant as
Additional Rent and shall bear interest at the rate of four percent (4%) per
annum above the Prime Rate from time to time as published by The Wall Street
Journal, from the date the same shall become due and payable until the
date paid.  Failure of Tenant to comply with all environmental
requirements shall constitute and be a default under this Lease.

     

    Tenant
will remain totally liable hereunder regardless of any other provisions which
may limit recourse.

    Landlord
hereby represents and warrants that to the best of Landlord’s knowledge, as of
the Commencement Date, the Property and the Premises comply with all federal,
state and local environmental requirements.

     

    SEVERABILITY

     

          31.  In
the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Lease shall for
any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions
of this Lease, but this Lease shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

     

    LATE
CHARGE

     

         32.  In
the event Tenant shall fail to pay when due, the monthly installments of Annual
Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum required by the terms of this Lease to be
paid by Tenant, then, upon the happening of any such event, and in addition to
any and all other remedies that may thereby accrue to Landlord, Tenant agrees to
pay to Landlord a late charge of five percent (5%) of the monthly account
balance.  The late charge on the Annual Rent accrues after ten (10)
days of the due date, payable as Additional Rent and the late charge on other
amounts due Landlord accrue thirty (30) days from invoice, payable as Additional
Rent.

     

    In the
event the monthly installment of Annual Rent is received fifteen (15) days after
due date, Landlord shall have option to require the rental payment be made with
a certified or cashier’s check.

     

    QUIET
ENJOYMENT

     

    33.  Tenant,
upon paying the monthly installments of Annual Rent, Additional Rent and other
charges herein provided and observing and keeping all of its covenants,
agreements, and conditions in this Lease, shall quietly have and enjoy the

      Common Facilities, and the sidewalks, driveways, and other public portion
      of the Property shall not be obstructed or encumbered by Tenant or used
      for any purpose other than ingress or egress to and from the Premises, and
      Tenant shall not permit any of its employees, agents, licensees or
      invitees to congregate or loiter in any of the Property.  Tenant
      shall not invite to, or permit to visit the Premises, persons in such
      numbers or under such conditions as may interfere with the use and

      right to control and operate, and to restrict and regulate the use of, the
      Property and the public facilities, as well as facilities furnished for
      the common use of tenants, in such manner as it deems best for the benefit
      of tenants generally.

            


    

     

    
      	
              2)

      shall not make or cause to make noise, including, but not limited to,
      music, the playing of musical instruments, recordings, radio or
      television, which, in the judgment of Landlord, might disturb other
      tenants in the building or Property shall be made or permitted by any
      tenant.

            


    

     

    
      	
              4)

              Tenant
      shall not cause or permit any odors of cooking or other processes, or any
      unusual or objectionable odors, to emanate from the Premises which would
      annoy other tenants or create a public or private
      nuisance.  Smoking is not allowed in the Premises or within the
      building.

            


    

     

    
      	
              6)

            	
              Plumbing

              Tenant

              Landlord
      reserves the right to rescind, alter, waive or add, any rule or Regulation
      at any time prescribed for the building when, in the reasonable judgment
      of Landlord, Landlord deems it necessary or desirable for the reputation,
      safety, character, security, care, appearance or interests of the
      Property, or the preservation of good order therein, or the operation or
      maintenance of the Property, or the equipment thereof, or the comfort of
      tenants of others in the Property.  No rescission, alteration,
      waiver or addition of any rule or regulation in respect of one tenant
      shall operate as a rescission, alteration or waiver in respect of any
      other tenant.

  walls.

            


    

     

    
      	
              10)

            	
              Tenant
      shall not place storage trailers or other storage containers of any type

with any of the above rules and regulations may, in Landlord’s sole judgment,
result in a monetary fine not to exceed $100 per day.  Landlord will
