ARTICLE TWO: LEASE AND LEASE TERM

2.01. LEASE OF DEMISED PREMISES FOR LEASE TERM: Landlord leases the Demised
Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Demised Premises from Landlord for the
Lease Term stated in Section 1.05. The Commencement Date is the date specified
in Section 1.05, unless advanced or delayed under any provision of this Lease.

2.02. DELAY IN COMMENCEMENT: Subject to terms of Addendum (B) Work Letter,
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant if Landlord does not deliver possession
of the Demised Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date specified in Section
1.05 above. Landlord's non-delivery of possession of the Demised Premises to
Tenant on the Commencement Date will not affect this Lease or the obligations of
Tenant under this Lease. However, the Commencement Date shall be delayed until
possession of the Demised Premises is delivered to Tenant. The Lease Term shall
be extended for a period equal to the delay in delivery of possession of the
Demised Premised to Tenant, plus the number of days necessary for the Lease Term
to expire on the last day of a month. If Landlord does not deliver possession of
the Demised Premises to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Commencement
Date specified in Section 1.05. Tenant may cancel this Lease by giving written
notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after the 60-day period ends. If Tenant
gives such notice, this Lease shall be canceled effective as of the date of its
execution, and no party shall have any obligations under this Lease. If Tenant
does not give such notice within the time specified, Tenant shall have no right
to cancel this Lease, and the Lease Term shall commence upon the delivery of
possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant. If delivery of possession of the
Demised Premises to Tenant is delayed, Landlord and Tenant shall, upon such
delivery, execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the revised
Commencement Date and Expiration Date of the Lease Term. In the event of
conflict between this lease provision and lease Addendum (B) Work Letter,
Provision by the Work Letter will prevail.

2.03. EARLY OCCUPANCY: If Tenant occupies the Demised Premises prior to the
Commencement Date, Tenant's occupancy of the Demised Premises shall be subject
to all of the provisions of this Lease. Early occupancy of the Demised Premises
shall not advance the Expiration Date. Unless otherwise provided herein, Tenant
shall pay Base Rent and all other charges specified in this Lease for the period
of occupancy. The utilities shall be connected by Tenant and proof of connection
delivered to Landlord before receiving the Demised Premises.

2.04. HOLDING OVER: Tenant shall vacate the Demised Premises immediately upon
the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all damages incurred
by Landlord as a result of any delay by Tenant in vacating the Demised Premises.
If Tenant does not vacate the Demised Premises upon the expiration of the Lease
Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant's occupancy of the Demised
Premises shall be a day-to-day tenancy, subject to all of the terms of this
Lease, except that the Base Rent and additional rent during the holdover period
shall be increased to an amount which is one and

<Page>

one-half (1 1/2) times the Base Rent and additional rent in effect on the
expiration or termination of this Lease, computed on a daily basis for each day
of the holdover period, plus all additional sums due under this Lease. This
paragraph shall not be construed as Landlord's consent for Tenant to hold over
or to extend this Lease.

ARTICLE THREE: RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT

3.01. MANNER OF PAYMENT. All sums payable under this Lease by Tenant (the
"Rent") shall be made to the Landlord at the address designated in Section 1.09,
unless another person is designated in Section 1.09, or to any other party or
address as Landlord may designate in writing. Any and all payments made to a
designated third party for the account of the Landlord shall be deemed made to
Landlord when received by the designated third party. All sums payable by Tenant
under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as rent, shall constitute
rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code and for all
other purposes. The Base Rent is the minimum rent for the Demised Premises and
is subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Lease, together with
the attached Addenda. If any.

3.02. TIME OF PAYMENT. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay the
installment of Base Rent plus estimated amount of additional rent in the sum of
$4690.00 for the first month of the Lease Term. On or before the first day of
the second month of the Lease Term and of each month thereafter, the installment
of Base Rent, additional rent and other sums due under this Lease shall be due
and payable, in advance, without off-set, deduction or prior demand. Tenant
shall cause payments to be properly mailed or otherwise delivered so as to be
actually received by the party identified in 1.09 above on or before the due
date (and not merely deposited in the mail). If the Lease Term commences or ends
on a day other than the first or last day of a calendar month, the rent for any
fractional calendar month following the Commencement Date or preceding the end
of the Lease Term shall be prorated by days. If Lease commences on a date other
than the first of the month, the prorated amount is to be paid on the first day
of the second month.

3.03. LATE CHARGES. Tenant's failure to promptly pay sums due under this Lease
may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of those costs
is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. The costs may include, but
are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may
be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease or deed of trust encumbering the
Demised Premises. Payments due to Landlord under this Lease are not an extension
of credit. Therefore, if any payment under the Lease is not actually received on
or before the due date (and not merely deposited in the mail), Landlord may at
Landlord's option and to the extent allowed by applicable law, impose a LATE
Charge on any late payments in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%)
of the amount of the past due payment (the "Late Charge") per day for each day
after the due date, until the past due amount in Good Funds is received by
Landlord up to a maximum of fifteen percent (15%) of the past due amount. A Late
Charge may be imposed only once on each past due payment. Any Late Charge will
be in addition to Landlord's other remedies for nonpayment of rent. If any check
tendered to Landlord by Tenant under this Lease is dishonored for any reason,
Tenant shall pay to the party receiving payments under this Lease a fee of
thirty-five dollars ($35.00). plus ( at Landlord's option) a Late Charge as
provided above until good funds are received by Landlord. The parties agree that
any Late Charge and dishonored check fee represent a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment or
dishonored check. Payments received from Tenant shall be applied first to any
Late Charges, second to other unpaid charges or reimbursements due to Landlord
and last to base rent. Landlord agrees to notify Tenant of non-receipt of rental
payment prior to charging a late fee. However, such notice shall not effect
accrual of late charge effective the date rent is due.

3.04. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord a cash (good funds) Security Deposit in the amount stated in Section
1.07. Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid Rent
or other charges due from Tenant or to cure any other defaults of Tenant. If
Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the
Security Deposit to its full amount within five (5) days after Landlord's
written demand. Tenant's failure to restore the full amount of the Security
Deposit within the time specified shall be a default under this Lease. No
interest will be paid on the Security Deposit. Landlord will not be required to
keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts and no trust
relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit. Upon any
termination of this Lease not resulting from Tenant's default, and after Tenant
has vacated the Property and cleaned and restored the Demised Premises in the
manner required by this Lease, Landlord shall refund the unused portion of the
Security Deposit to Tenant within sixty days after the Termination Date or sixty
days after Tenant fully complies with the conditions of termination as required
in Section 7.05, whichever is later.

COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 3
<Page>

3.05. GOOD FUNDS PAYMENTS. If, for any reason whatsoever, any two or more
payments by check from Tenant to Landlord for Rent and or any sums owed are
dishonored and returned unpaid, thereafter Landlord may, at Landlord's sole
option, upon written notice to Tenant, require that all future payments of Rent
for the remaining term of the Lease must be made by cash, certified check,
cashier's check, or money order ("Good Funds") and that the delivery of Tenant's
personal or corporate check will no longer constitute payment of Rent under this
Lease. Any acceptance by Landlord of a payment for Rent by Tenant's personal or
corporate check thereafter shall not be construed as a waiver of Landlord's
right to insist upon payment by Good Funds as set forth herein.

ARTICLE FOUR: TAXES

4.01. PAYMENT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall pay the real estate taxes on the
Demised Premises during the Lease Term. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord its
prorata share of taxes in accordance with the terms of this lease.

4.02. IMPROVEMENTS BY TENANT. If the real estate taxes levied against the
Demised Premises for the real estate tax year in which the Lease Term commences
are increased as a result of any alterations, additions or improvements made by
Tenant or by Landlord at the request of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
upon demand the amount of the increase and continue to pay the increase during
the Lease Term. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the tax
assessor or assessors a written statement of the total amount of the increase.

4.03. JOINT ASSESSMENT If the real estate taxes are assessed against the Demised
Premises jointly with other property not constituting a part of the Demised
Premises, the real estate taxes applicable to the Demised Premises shall be
equal to the amount bearing the same proportion to the aggregate assessment that
the total square feet of building area in the Demised Premises bears to the
total square feet of building area included in the joint assessment.

4.04. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay all taxes assessed against trade
fixtures, furnishings, equipment, inventory, products, or any other personal
property belonging to Tenant. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to have
Tenant's property taxed separately from the Demised Premises. If any of Tenant's
property is taxed with the Demised Premises, Tenant shall pay the taxes for its
property to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives a written
statement from Landlord for the property taxes.

ARTICLE FIVE: INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

5.01. CASUALTY INSURANCE. During the Lease Term, Landlord shall maintain
policies of insurance covering loss of or damage to the Demised Premises in an
amount or percentage of replacement value as Landlord deems reasonable in
relation to the age, location, type of construction and physical condition of
the Demised Premises and the availability of insurance at reasonable rates. The
policies shall provide protection against all perils included within the
classification of fire and extended coverage and any other perils which Landlord
deems necessary. Landlord may, at Landlord's option, obtain insurance coverage
for Tenant's fixtures, equipment or building improvements installed by Tenant in
or on the Demised Premises. Tenant shall at Tenant's expense, maintain insurance
on its fixtures, equipment and building improvements as Tenant deems necessary
to protect Tenant's interest. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything
which invalidates any insurance policies. Any casualty insurance carried by
Landlord or Tenant shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying the
insurance and under its sole control.

5.02  INCREASE IN PREMIUMS Tenant shall not permit any operation or activity to
be conducted, or storage or use of any volatile or any other materials, on or
about the Demised Premises that would cause suspension or cancellation of any
fire and extended coverage insurance policy carried by Landlord, or increase the
premiums therefore, without the prior written consent of Landlord. If Tenant's
use and occupancy of the Demised Premises causes an increase in the premiums for
any fire and extended coverage insurance policy carried by Landlord, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as additional rental, the amount of the increase within
ten days after demand and presentation by Landlord of written evidence of the
increase.

COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT - Page 4
<Page>

5.03. LIABILITY INSURANCE. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain a
commercial general liability policy of insurance, at Tenant's expense, insuring
Landlord against liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy, or
maintenance of the Demised Premises. The initial amounts of the insurance must
be at least $1,000,000 for Each Occurrence, $2,000,000 General Aggregate per
policy year, $100,000 Property Damage for the Demised Premises, and $10,000
Medical Expense; plus a $5,000,000 commercial general liability umbrella; and
shall be subject to periodic increases based upon economic factors as Landlord
may determine, in Landlord's discretion, exercised in good faith. However, the
amounts of the insurance shall not limit Tenant's liability nor relieve Tenant
of any obligation under this Lease. The policies must contain cross-liability
endorsements, if applicable, and must insure Tenant's performance of the
indemnity provisions of Section 5.04. The policies must contain a provision
which prohibits cancellation or modification of the policy except upon thirty
(30) day's prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant may discharge Tenant's
obligations under this Section by naming Landlord as an additional insured under
a comprehensive policy of commercial general liability insurance maintained by
Tenant and containing the coverage and provisions described in this Section.
Tenant shall deliver a copy of the policy or certificate (or a renewal) to
Landlord prior to the Commencement Date and prior to the expiration of the
policy during the Lease Term. If Tenant fails to maintain the policy, Landlord
may elect to maintain the insurance at Tenant's expense. Tenant may, at Tenant's
expense, maintain other liability insurance as Tenant deems necessary. Tenant's
insurance shall provide primary coverage to Landlord when any policy issued to
Landlord provides duplicate or similar coverage, and in such circumstance
Landlord's policy will provide excess coverage over Tenant's policy.

5.04. INDEMNITY. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or to Tenant's
employees, agents, invitees or visitors, or to any other person, for any injury
to persons or damage to property on or about the Demised Premises or any
adjacent area owned by Landlord caused by the negligence or misconduct of
Tenant, Tenant's employees, subtenants, agents, licensees or concessionaires or
any other person entering the Demised Premises under express or implied
invitation of Tenant, or arising out of the use of the Demised Premises by
Tenant and the conduct of Tenant's business, or arising out of any breach or
default by Tenant in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease;
and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss,
expense or claims arising out of such damage or injury. Tenant shall not be
liable for any injury or damage caused solely by the gross negligence or
intentional misconduct of Landlord, or Landlord's employees or agents, and
Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any loss, expense or
damage arising out of such damage or injury. Tenant also agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Landlord from any loss, expense, or claims arising out of Tenant's
failure to perform its obligations under this Lease. Tenant's indemnification
obligations under this Section shall apply even though the indemnified loss or
damage has been caused or is alleged to have been caused by the negligence or
fault of Landlord or its agents (other than a loss solely caused by or arising
from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or its agents),
and/or is based upon or is alleged to be based upon the strict liability of
Landlord or its agents. This indemnity is intended to indemnify Landlord and its
agents against the consequences of their own negligence when Landlord or its
agents are jointly, comparatively, contributively or concurrently negligent with
Tenant. This indemnity provision shall survive termination or expiration of this
Lease. If any proceeding is filed for which indemnity is required hereunder,
Tenant agrees, upon request therefore, to defend the indemnified party in such
proceeding at its sole cost utilizing counsel satisfactory to the indemnified
party.

5.05. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Each party to this Lease waives any and every claim
which arises or may arise in its favor against the other party during the term
of this Lease or any renewal or extension of this Lease for any and all loss of
or damage to, any of its property located within or upon, or constituting a part
of the Demised Premises, which loss or damage is covered by valid and
collectible fire and extended coverage insurance policies, to the extent that
such loss or damage is recoverable under such insurance policies. These mutual
waivers shall be in addition to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any
other waiver or release contained in this Lease with respect to any loss of, or
damage to, property of the parties. Inasmuch as these mutual waivers will
preclude the assignment of any aforesaid claim by way of subrogation or
otherwise to an insurance company (or any other person), each party hereby
agrees to give immediately to each insurance company (which has issued to such
party policies of fire and extended coverage insurance) written notice of the
terms of such mutual waivers, and to cause such policies to be properly endorsed
to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage by reason of these
waivers.

use of the Demised Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has or will
independently investigate and verify to Tenant's satisfaction the extent of any
limitations or non-conforming uses of the Demised Premises. Tenant further

Lease Term, effective from the date of the damage or destruction. If neither
party promptly terminates this Lease, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable
diligence to rebuild and repair the building and other improvements (except that

Landlord does not terminate this Lease, Landlord shall promptly, at Landlord's
expense, restore and reconstruct the buildings and improvements (other than
leasehold improvements made by Tenant or any assignee, subtenant or other
occupant of the Demised Premises) situated on the Demised Premises in order to
make the same reasonably tenantable and suitable for the use for which the
Demised Premises is leased as defined in Section 6.01. The monthly installments
of Rent payable under this Lease during the unexpired portion of the Lease Term
shall be adjusted equitably. If any taking of all or any part of the Demised
Premises occurs, then Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or
other compensation for the taking of the subject real property and improvements;
however, Tenant may separately pursue a claim (to the extent it will not reduce
Landlord's award) against the condemner for the value of Tenant's personal
property which Tenant is entitled to remove under this Lease, moving costs, loss
of business, and other claims it may have. The termination of this Lease shall
not affect the rights of the parties to such awards.

ARTICLE TEN: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain fully liable for the full
performance of all Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall not
assign its rights under this Lease or sublet the Demised Premises without first

Lease and to be bound by the terms of this Lease. If an event of default occurs
while the Demised Premises is assigned or sublet. Landlord may, at Landlord's
option. In addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease or by law,
collect directly from the assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due under the
terms of the assignment or subletting and apply the rent against any sums due to
Landlord under this Lease. No direct collection by Landlord from any assignee or
subtenant will release Tenant from Tenant's obligations under this Lease. In the
event the rent or other sums collected in connection with a sublease by Tenant
from a subtenant is in excess of the rent and other sums owed by Tenant to
Landlord under this Lease for the sublease period, then the excess shall be
shared equally on a 50%-50% basis between Tenant and Landlord, and Tenant shall
promptly submit to Landlord fifty percent of any such excess payments. Tenant
shall be responsible for Landlord's legal fees in connection with the review and
consideration of any proposed assignment or subletting arrangement and shall
deposit with Landlord any retainer that may be required in connection with such
legal fees.

without any obligation of Landlord to give any notice if Landlord has given
Tenant written notice under this Section 11.01A on more than one occasion during
the twelve month interval preceding such failure by Tenant. This clause shall
not be construed to permit or allow a delay in paying Rent beyond the due date
and shall not affect Landlord's right to impose a Late Charge as permitted at
Section 3.03.

Lease, other than the payment of Rent or other sum of money, and the continuance

for it or for all or any substantial part of its property, and Tenant or any
guarantor: (i) fails to obtain a dismissal of such case, proceeding, or other
action within sixty (60) days of its commencement; or (ii) converts the case
from one chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code to another chapter; or (iii) is
the subject of an order of relief which is not fully stayed within seven (7)

one or more the following remedies without any prior notice or demand.

A. Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the
Demised Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to so surrender the Demised
Premises, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have
for possession of the Demised Premises or Rent in arrears, enter upon and take
possession of the Demised Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other
person who may be occupying the Demised Premises or any part thereof, by force
if necessary, without being liable for prosecution including trespass or any
claim for damages. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss
and damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of the termination, whether
through inability to re-let the Demised Premises on satisfactory terms or
otherwise.

B. Enter upon and take possession of the Demised Premises, by force if
necessary, without terminating this Lease and without being liable for
prosecution including trespass or for any claim for damages, and expel or remove
Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Demised Premises or any
part thereof, Landlord may re-let the Demised Premises and receive the rent
therefore. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord monthly or on demand for time to
time any deficiency that may arise by reason of any such re-letting. In
determining the amount of the deficiency, the professional service fees,
attorney's fees, court costs, remodeling expenses and other costs of re-letting
shall be subtracted from the amount of rent received under the re-letting.

C. Enter upon the Demised Premises, by force if necessary, without terminating
this Lease and without being liable for prosecution including trespass or for
any claim for damages, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms
of his Lease. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand for expenses which
Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under
this Lease, together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%)
per annum from the date expended until paid. Landlord shall nor be liable for
any damages resulting to Tenant from such action, whether caused by negligence
of Landlord or otherwise.

D. Accelerate and declare the Rent for the entire Lease Term, and all other
amounts due under this Lease, at once due and payable, and proceed by
attachment, suit or otherwise, to collect all amounts in the same manner as if
all such amounts due or to become due during the entire Lease Term were payable
in advance by the terms of this Lease, and neither the enforcement or collection
by Landlord of such amounts nor the payment by Tenant of such amounts shall
constitute a waiver by Landlord of any breach, existing or in the future, of any
of the terms or provisions of this Lease by Tenant or a waiver of any rights or
remedies which the Landlord may have with respect to any such breach.

E. In addition to the foregoing remedies, landlord shall have the right to
change or modify the locks on the Demised Premises in the event Tenant fails to
pay the monthly installment of Rent when due. Landlord shall not be obligated to
provide another key to Tenant allow Tenant to regain entry to the Demises
Premises unless and until Tenant pays Landlord all Rent which is delinquent.
Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages

resulting to the Tenant from the lockout. At such time that Landlord changes or
modifies the lock, Landlord shall post a "Notice of Change of Locks" on the
front of the Demised Premises. Such Notice shall suite that:

      (1) Tenant's monthly installment of Rent is delinquent, and therefore,
under authority of Section 11.02.E of Tenant's Lease, the Landlord has exercised
it's contractual right to change or modify Tenant's door locks;

      (2) The Notice has been posted on the Tenant's front door by a
representative of Landlord and Tenant should make arrangements with the
representative to pay the delinquent installments of Rent when Tenant picks up
the key; and

      (3) The failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of the Lease and
the Notice and/or tampering with or changing the door lock(s) by Tenant may
subject Tenant to legal liability.

F. No re-entry or taking possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord shall be
construed as an election to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of
that intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such re-letting or
re-entry or taking possession, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, elect to
terminate this Lease for a previous default. Pursuit of any of the foregoing
remedies shall not preclude pursuit for of any other remedies provided by law,
nor shall pursuit of any remedy provided in this Lease constitute a forfeiture
or waiver of any monthly installment of Rent due to Landlord under this Lease or
of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the
terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease. Failure of Landlord to
declare any default immediately upon its occurrence, or failure to enforce one
or more of Landlord's remedies, or forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or
more of Landlord's remedies upon an event of default shall not be deemed or
construed to constitute a waiver of default or waiver of any violation or breach
of the terms of this Lease. Pursuit of any one of the above remedies shall not
preclude pursuit by Landlord of any of the other remedies provided in this
Lease. The loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of termination of
this Lease or the deficiency from any re-letting as provided for above shall
include the expense of repossession and any repairs or remodeling undertaken by
Landlord following possession. If Landlord terminates this Lease at any time for
any default, in addition to other Landlords remedies, Landlord may recover from
Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of the default, including the
cost of recovering the Demised premises and the Rent then remaining unpaid.

G. Any suit or suits for the recovery of the amounts and damages set forth in
this Lease may be brought by Landlord, from time to time, at Landlord's
election, and nothing in this Lease will be deemed to require Landlord to await
the date upon which this Lease or the Term would have expired had there occurred
no event of default. Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease is
cumulative and is in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in
this Lease or now or after the Lease Date existing at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord
of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now
or after the Lease Date existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
All costs incurred by Landlord in collecting any amounts and damages owing by
Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or to enforce any provision of
this Lease, including reasonable attorneys' fees from the data any such matter
is turned over to any attorney, whether or not one or more actions are commenced
by Landlord, will also be recoverable by Landlord from Tenant.

11.02 (II) CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Any suit or suits for the recovery of the
amounts and damages set forth in this lease may be brought by Landlord, from

fixtures, furniture and all other personal property of Tenant situated in or
upon the Demised Premises, together with the proceeds from the sale or lease
thereof. Tenant may not remove such property without the consent of Landlord
until all Rent in arrears and other sums of money then due to landlord under
this Lease have first been paid and discharged. Upon the occurrence of an event
of default, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided in this
Lease or by law, enter upon the Demised Premises and take possession of any and
all goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture and other personal property of
Tenant situated on the Demised Premises without liability for trespass or
conversion, and sell the property at public or private sale, with or without

time and place of any such sale. Unless otherwise required by law, notice to
Tenant of the sale shall be deemed sufficient if given in the manner prescribed
in this Lease at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale. Any public
sale made under this Article shall be deemed to have been conducted in a
commercially reasonable manner if held on the Demised Premises or where the
property is located, after the time, place and method of sale and a general

newspaper published in the county where the Demised Premises is located for five
(5) consecutive days before the date of the sale. Landlord or its assigns may
