| **II.** | **Premises and Term** |
|---------|-----------------------|

A.        In consideration of            the obligation of Tenant to pay rent and the other terms, provisions, and covenants            hereof, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the            Premises for the Term.

B.        If this Lease is            executed before the Premises become ready for occupancy, and Landlord cannot, using            good faith efforts, deliver possession of the Premises by the Projected Commencement            Date, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default, nor in any way liable to Tenant            because of such failure. Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Premises on the            Commencement Date as defined in the Work Letter. Landlord hereby waives payment of Base            Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses covering            any period prior to the Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date is before the            Projected Commencement Date, the Term shall be extended by the number of days between            the Commencement Date and the Projected Commencement Date and Tenant shall pay Base            Rent

----

for            the period prior to the Projected Commencement Date based upon the per square foot per            year rental rate for the initial period of the Term.

C.        Tenant acknowledges            that no representations as to the repair of the Premises, nor promises to alter,            remodel or improve the Premises have been made by Landlord, unless such are expressly            set forth in this Lease. Except as provided in the Work Letter, the taking of            possession by Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to establish that the Premises have            been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and are in good and            satisfactory condition as of when possession was so taken. Promptly following the            Commencement Date, Tenant shall execute and deliver Landlord’s standard form of            letter of acceptance of delivery of the Premises.

| **III.** | **Base Rent and Security Deposit** |
|----------|------------------------------------|

A.        Tenant agrees to pay            to Landlord in lawful money of the United States Base Rent for the entire Term at the            rates set forth above per month, in advance, except that the monthly installment which            otherwise shall be due on the Commencement Date, shall be due and payable on the date            hereof. Thereafter one such monthly installment shall be due and payable without demand            on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date;            further provided, that the rental payment for any fractional calendar month at the            commencement or termination of the Term shall be prorated.

B.        Tenant agrees to            deposit with Landlord, upon execution of this lease, the sum of$64,000.00in cash or in the form of an            unconditional, irrevocable, transferable letter of credit as security for the full and            faithful performance of each and every term, provision, covenant and condition of this            lease to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant defaults with respect to any of the terms,            provisions, covenants and conditions of this lease including, but not limited to,            payment of the base rent or other amounts due Landlord hereunder, Landlord may use,            apply or retain the whole or any part of the security deposit for the payment of any            such base rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any other sum which            Landlord may spend or be obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default or to            compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of            Tenant’s default, including, without limitation, any damages or deficiency in the            reletting of the leased premises, whether such damages or deficiency shall have accrued            before or after any re-entry by Landlord. If the security deposit or any part thereof            shall be so used, applied or retained by Landlord, Tenant shall, within five (5) days            after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to            restore the security deposit (or restore the balance of the letter of credit) to its            amount immediately prior to Landlord’s use or application of the security, and            Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this lease. Except to the            extent required by law, Landlord shall not be required to keep said cash security            deposit separate from their general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest            on any security deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision            of this lease to be performed by it, said security deposit or any balance thereof shall            be returned to Tenant (or at Landlord’s option to the last assignee of            Tenant’s interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the            term and Tenant’s vacation of the leased premises. Landlord may deliver the            security deposited hereunder by Tenant to the purchaser of Landlord’s interest in            the Building in the event that such interest is sold, and thereupon Landlord shall be            discharged

----

from any further liability with respect to said security deposit. Tenant            hereby agrees not to look to any mortgagee as mortgagee, mortgagee in possession or            successor in title to the Building for any security deposit required by Landlord            hereunder, unless said security deposit has actually been received by said mortgagee or            successor in title as security for Tenant’s performance of this lease.

C.        The letter of credit            or cash security deposit may be reduced to the following amounts during the lease term            as follows:

$51,200 at the end of the 12th lease month

$38,400 at the end of the 24th lease month

$25,600 at the end of the 36th lease month

$12,800 at the end of the 48th lease month, to remain in            effect until lease termination.

The reduction as described above shall only occur if Tenant has not had            any late rental payments in the twelve months prior to the reduction.

| **IV.** | **Taxes** |
|---------|-----------|

A.        Landlord agrees to pay            all general and special taxes, assessments and governmental charges of any kind and            nature whatsoever (collectively “Taxes”) lawfully levied against the            Property, the Building, and the grounds, parking areas, driveways and alleys around the            Building. For each real estate tax year applicable to the Term or any extension            thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent upon demand at the time the            bill for such tax year issues Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Taxes levied            for such tax year (on an accrual basis) less any monthly payments paid by Tenant as            provided below for such tax year. In addition, Tenant shall pay upon demand            Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any contingent fees, expenses and costs incurred            by Landlord in protesting any assessments, levies or the tax rate. Any payment to be            made pursuant to this Article IV with respect to the real estate tax year in which this            Lease commences or terminates shall be prorated. Tenant shall not be responsible for            any fines or penalties incurred by Landlord for late or insufficient            payments.

B.        During December of            each year or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant written            notice of its estimate of the amount payable under Paragraph 4A for the ensuing            calendar year. On or before the first day of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay to            Landlord as additional rent one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated amount, provided            that if such notice is not given in December, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis            of the prior year’s estimate until the first day of the month after the month in            which such notice is given. If at any time it appears to Landlord that the amount            payable under Paragraph 4A will vary from its estimate by more than five percent (5%),            Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, revise its estimate for such year, and            subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised            estimate.

C.        As soon as practicable            after the Taxes for a year are determined, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement            showing the Taxes under Paragraph 4A and Tenant’s share thereof. If such            statement shows an amount due from Tenant that is less than the estimated payments            previously paid by Tenant, it shall be accompanied by a refund of the excess to Tenant.            If such statement shows an amount due from Tenant that is more than the estimated            payments previously paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord, as            additional rent, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement.

D.        If the Building is not            fully occupied during all or a portion of any year and as a result of such lack of            occupancy Taxes are reduced, Landlord may make an appropriate adjustment in Taxes for            such year by adjusting those components of Taxes which vary with the occupancy level of            the Building so that the Taxes that would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had            the Building been fully rented and occupied shall be deemed to have been the Taxes for            such year.

E.        If at any time during            the Term, the present method of taxation shall be changed so that in lieu of or in            addition to the whole or any part of any Taxes, there shall be levied, assessed or            imposed on Landlord a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received and/or a            franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part,            upon such rents, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, or the part            thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term            “Taxes” for the purposes hereof.

| **V.** | **Operating Costs** |
|--------|---------------------|

A.        For each calendar year            falling partly or wholly within the Term or any extension thereof, Tenant shall pay to            Landlord as additional rent Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Costs            incurred by Landlord for such calendar year less any monthly payments paid by Tenant as            provided below for such year. Any payment to be made pursuant to this Article V with            respect to the year in which this lease commences or terminates shall be            prorated.

B.        As used in this Lease,            the term “Operating Costs” shall mean any and all expenses, costs and            disbursements (other than Taxes) of any kind and nature whatsoever incurred by Landlord            in connection with the ownership, leasing, management, maintenance, operation and            repair of the Building or the Property or any improvements situated on the Property            (including, without limitation, the cost of maintaining and repairing parking lots,            parking structures, and easements, salaries, fringe benefits and related costs, for            building staff, insurance costs of every kind and nature, heating and air conditioning            costs, common area utility costs such as electricity, sewer and water charges, the cost            of cleaning and removing snow from common areas, the cost of routine repairs,            maintenance and decorating of common areas and the Building’s or Property’s            share of costs of the Development), except the following: (1) costs of alterations of            tenants’ premises; (2) depreciation; (3) interest and principal payments on            mortgages, and other debt costs; (4) real estate brokers’ leasing commissions or            compensation; (5) any cost or expenditure (or portion thereof) for which Landlord is            reimbursed, whether by insurance proceeds or otherwise, and (6) cost of any service            furnished to any other occupant of the Building which Landlord does not provide to            Tenant. Operating Costs shall also include a property management

fee            and/or an administrative fee in the aggregate of five percent (5%) of gross receipts            from the Property. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) all            expenditures for replacements or improvements of $10,000 or less shall be included in            Operating Costs and (ii) the amount allowed annually as depreciation for federal income            tax purposes with respect to any capital improvements made after the date of this Lease            which are intended to reduce Operating Costs or which are required under any            governmental laws, regulations, or ordinances which were not applicable to the Building            at the time it was constructed, shall be included in Operating Costs. In addition,            interest on the undepreciated cost of any such improvement (at the long term mortgage            loan rate set forth in the mortgage encumbering the Building on the date the cost of            such improvement was incurred or, if there was no such loan, then at the long term            mortgage loan rate that would have been available to Landlord on the date the cost of            such improvement was incurred as reasonably determined by Landlord) shall also be            included in Operating Costs. In the event Landlord elects to self insure, insure with a            deductible in excess of $1,000 or obtain insurance coverage in which the premium            fluctuates in proportion to losses incurred, then Landlord shall estimate the amount of            premium that Landlord would have been required to pay to obtain insurance coverage (or            insurance coverage without such provision) with a recognized carrier and such estimated            amount shall be deemed to be an Operating Cost. If Landlord is not furnishing any            particular work or service (the cost of which, if performed by Landlord, would be            included in Operating Costs) to a tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or            service in lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord, Operating Expenses shall be            deemed for the purposes of this paragraph to be increased by an amount equal to the            additional Operating Costs which would reasonably have been incurred during such period            by Landlord if it had at its own expense furnished such work or service to such tenant.            Landlord may, in a reasonable manner, allocate insurance premiums for so-called            “blanket” insurance policies which insure other properties as well as the            Building and said allocated amount shall be deemed to be an Operating Cost. If Landlord            selects the accrual accounting method rather than the cash accounting method for            Operating Costs purposes, Operating Costs shall be deemed to have been paid when such            expenses have accrued.

C.        In the event during            all or any portion of any calendar year the Building is not fully rented and occupied,            Landlord may elect to make an appropriate adjustment in occupancy related Operating            Costs for such year, employing sound accounting and management principles, to determine            Operating Costs that would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been            fully rented and occupied and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been            Operating Costs for such year. At any time when a service is furnished to, or an item            of Operating Costs is incurred with respect to only a part of the Building, the cost of            such service or the amount of such item of Operating Costs may, if in Landlord’s            judgment it is appropriate to do so, be allocated entirely to such part of the Building            and Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such Operating Costs shall be adjusted            accordingly.

D.        Landlord and Tenant            acknowledge that certain of the costs of management, operation and maintenance of the            Development are contractually allocated among all of the buildings in the Development            using methods of allocation that are considered reasonable and appropriate for the            circumstances. Tenant hereby consents to such contractual allocations and agrees that            the Building’s portion shall be included in Operating Costs.

E.        During December of            each year or as soon thereafter as practicable. Landlord shall give Tenant written            notice of its estimate of the amount payable under Paragraph 5A for the ensuing            calendar year. On or before the first day of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay to            Landlord as additional rent one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated amount, provided            that if such notice is not given in December, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis            of the prior year’s estimate until the first day of the month after the month in            which such notice is given. If at any time it appears to Landlord that the amount            payable under Paragraph 5A for the then current calendar year will vary from its            estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant,            revise its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year            shall be based upon such revised estimate.

F.        Within ninety (90)            days after the close of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as practicable,            Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement showing the Operating Costs under            Paragraph 5A and Tenant’s share thereof. If such statement shows an amount due            from Tenant that is less than the estimated payments previously paid by Tenant, it            shall be accompanied by a refund of the excess to Tenant. If such statement shows an            amount due from Tenant that is more than the estimated payments previously paid by            Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord, as additional rent, within thirty            (30) days after delivery of the statement.

G.        Tenant shall have the            right to review Landlord’s books and records of Operating Costs during normal            business hours within twenty (20) days following the furnishing of the annual statement            to Tenant, subject to execution of a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to            Landlord, and provided that if Tenant utilizes an independent accountant or other third            party to perform such review it shall be one of national standing which is reasonably            acceptable to Landlord, is not compensated on a contingency basis and is also subject            to such confidentiality agreement. Unless Tenant takes written exception to any item            within thirty (30) days following the furnishing of the annual statement of Tenant,            such statement shall be considered as final and accepted by Tenant. The taking of            exception to any item shall not excuse Tenant from the obligation to make timely            payment based upon the statement as delivered by Landlord.

| **VI.** | **Electric Service** |
|---------|----------------------|

A.        To the extent Tenant            is not billed directly by a public utility, Tenant shall pay, upon demand, as            additional rent, for all electricity used by Tenant in the Premises for lighting,            convenience outlets, and other direct uses. The charge shall be based upon metered use            and shall be at the rates charged for such services by the local public authority or            utility. Landlord shall furnish all electric light bulbs, tubes and ballasts for            Building standard fixtures and include the cost thereof in Operating Costs. Tenant will            not without the written consent of Landlord use any apparatus or device in the Premises            which will in any way increase its usage beyond the amount of electricity which            Landlord determines to be reasonable for use of the Premises as general office space,            nor connect with electric current (except through existing electrical outlets in the            Premises) any apparatus or device for the purpose of using electric current. If Tenant            shall require electric current in excess of that which is reasonably obtainable from            existing electric outlets and normal for use of the Premises as general office space,            then Tenant shall first procure

----

the            consent of Landlord (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). Tenant shall pay            all costs of installation of all facilities necessary to furnishing such excess            capacity and for such increased electricity usage.

B.        Interruptions of any            service shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and            possession of the Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord liable for damages            by abatement of rent or otherwise or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s            obligations under this Lease, except as provided in Paragraph 8(C).

| **VII.** | **Alterations** |
|----------|-----------------|

A.        Landlord agrees to            install at Landlord’s cost and expense the improvements described in Exhibit C.            All other improvements to the Premises (“Alterations”) shall be installed            at the cost and expense of Tenant, but only in accordance with plans and specifications            which have been previously submitted to and reasonably approved in writing by Landlord,            and only by Landlord or by contractors and subcontractors on Landlord’s list of            approved contractors. In connection with any request for an approval of Alterations,            Landlord may retain the services of an architect and/or engineer and Tenant shall            reimburse Landlord for the reasonable fees of such architect and/or engineer. All            Alterations shall be constructed in accordance with all governmental laws, ordinances,            rules and regulations (“Laws”) and Tenant shall, prior to construction,            provide such assurances to Landlord, including but not limited to, waivers of lien,            surety company performance bonds and personal guaranties of individuals of substance,            as Landlord shall require to assure payment of the costs thereof and to protect            Landlord against any loss from any mechanics’, laborers’,            materialmen’s or other liens. At the time of completion of each Alteration,            Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a set of final “as-built” plans. All            Alterations shall be and remain the property of Tenant during the Term and Tenant            shall, unless Landlord otherwise elects, remove all Alterations and restore the            Premises to its original condition by the date of termination of this Lease or upon            earlier vacating of the Premises; provided, however, that, if at such time Landlord so            elects, such Alterations shall become the property of Landlord as of the date of            termination of this Lease or upon earlier vacating of the Premises and title shall pass            to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale. All such removals and restoration            shall be accomplished in a good workmanlike manner by contractors approved in writing            by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) so as not to damage the            Building.

B.        Landlord shall be            responsible for any costs incurred in bringing the shell and core Building facilities            and the Premises as delivered to Tenant by Landlord into compliance with governmental            requirements, including the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”). If            Tenant makes any Alterations to the Premises which affect governmental compliance,            including ADA compliance, Tenant shall be responsible for any costs of compliance with            such governmental requirements resulting from such Alterations.

| **VIII.** | **Services** |
|-----------|--------------|

A.        Landlord agrees to            furnish Tenant, while occupying the Premises: water, hot, cold and refrigerated at            those points of supply provided for general use of tenants; heated and refrigerated air            conditioning in season at such times as Landlord normally furnishes these services to            all tenants of the Building, and at such temperatures as are in accordance with any            applicable statutes, rules or regulations and are considered by Landlord to be            standard; janitor service to the Premises on weekdays other than holidays and such            window washing as may from time to time in the Landlord’s judgment be reasonably            required; operatorless passenger elevators, provided Landlord may reasonably limit the            number of elevators to be in operation on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays; but any            stoppage or interruption of these defined services, resulting from any cause, shall not            render Landlord liable in any respect for damages to any person, property, or business,            nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant or work an abatement of rent, nor relieve            Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. Should any equipment or            machinery furnished by Landlord cease to function properly, Landlord shall use            reasonable diligence to repair the same promptly, but Tenant shall have no claim for            rebate of rent or damages on account of any interruptions in service occasioned thereby            or resulting therefrom. Landlord hereby reserves the right to charge Tenant for any            additional services requested by Tenant on such basis as Landlord, in its sole            discretion, determines, provided said charges are standard for tenants of the Building.            Whenever heat generating machines or equipment are used by Tenant in the Premises which            affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning equipment, Landlord            reserves the right to install supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises (or            for the use of the Premises) and the expense of such purchase, installation,            maintenance, and repair shall be paid by Tenant upon demand as additional            rent.

B.        Tenant shall not            provide any janitorial services without Landlord’s written consent and then only            subject to supervision of Landlord. Any such services provided by Tenant shall be            Tenant’s sole risk and responsibility.

C.        If there is an            interruption of services which renders the Premises unusable for its intended purpose            for more than five (5) consecutive business days and such interruption is a result of            factors within the reasonable control of Landlord, then rent shall abate from the sixth            day until such services are restored.

| **IX.** | **Use of Premises** |
|---------|---------------------|

A.        The Premises shall be            used for the Permitted Uses and no others. Tenant will not occupy or use, nor permit            any portion of Premises to be occupied or used, for any use or purpose which is            unlawful in part or in whole or deemed to be disreputable in any manner, or extra            hazardous on account of fire, nor permit anything to be done which will render void or            in any way increase the rate of fire insurance on the Building or its contents, and            Tenant, shall immediately cease and desist from such use, paying all costs and expenses            resulting therefrom. Tenant will conduct his business and control his agents, employees            and invitees in such a manner

----

as            not to create any nuisance, nor unreasonably interfere with, annoy, or disturb other            tenants or Landlord in the management of the Building.

B.        Tenant shall at its            own cost and expense promptly obtain any and all licenses and permits necessary for any            Permitted Use. Tenant shall comply with all Laws applicable to the use and its            occupancy of the Premises, and shall promptly comply with all governmental orders and            directives for the correction, prevention and abatement of any violations or nuisances            in or upon, or connected with, the Premises, all at Tenant’s sole expense. If, as            a result of any change in Laws the Premises must be altered to lawfully accommodate            Tenant’s use and occupancy, such alterations shall be made only with the consent            of Landlord, but the entire cost shall be borne by Tenant; provided, that, the            necessity of Landlord’s consent shall in no way create any liability against            Landlord for failure of Tenant to comply with such Laws.

C.        Tenant will maintain            the Premises (including all fixtures installed by Tenant, water heaters within the            Premises and plate glass) in good repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and in a            clean and healthful condition, and comply with all Laws with reference to condition, or            occupancy of the Premises. Any repairs or replacements shall be with materials and            workmanship of the same character, kind and quality as the original. Tenant will not,            without the prior written consent of Landlord, paint, install lighting or decorations,            or install any signs, window or door lettering or advertising media of any type on or            about the Premises. At termination of this Lease, upon its expiration or otherwise,            Tenant shall deliver up the Premises in good repair and condition, reasonable wear and            tear excepted, broom clean and free of all debris.

D.        Tenant shall pay upon            demand as additional rent the full cost of repairing any damage to the Premises,            Building or related facilities resulting from and/or caused in whole or in part by the            negligence or misconduct of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, patrons,            customers, or any other person entering upon the Development as a result of            Tenant’s business activities or resulting from Tenant’s default            hereunder.

E.        The current rules and            regulations are described inExhibit            D. Landlord shall at all times have the right to change such            rules and regulations or to promulgate other rules and regulations in such reasonable            manner as may be deemed advisable for the safety, care, and cleanliness of the Building            or the Development and copies thereof will be forwarded to Tenant. Tenant will comply            fully with such rules and regulations. Tenant shall further be responsible for the            compliance with such rules and regulations by Tenant’s employees, servants,            agents and visitors.

F.        Tenant agrees that            Tenant, its agents and contractors, licensees, or invitees shall not handle, use,            manufacture, store or dispose of any flammables, explosives, radioactive materials,            hazardous wastes or materials, toxic wastes or materials, asbestos, PCB’s,            petroleum products or derivatives or other similar substances (collectively            “Hazardous Materials”) on, under, or about the Premises; provided that            Tenant may handle, store, use or dispose of products containing small quantities of            Hazardous Materials, which products are of a type customarily found in offices and            households (such as toner for copies, and the like); provided further that Tenant shall            handle, store, use and dispose of any such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful            manner and shall not allow such Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises, the            Building or the

----

environment. Tenant further agrees that Tenant will not permit any            substance to come into contact with groundwater under the Premises. Any such substance            coming into contact with groundwater shall, regardless of its inherent hazardous            characteristics, be considered a Hazardous Material for purposes of this            Lease.

G.        [MAKE MUTUAL] Without            limiting the above, Tenant and Landlord shall each reimburse, defend, indemnify and            hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities,            damages, costs and expenses, including without limitation, loss of rental income, loss            due to business interruption, and attorneys fees and costs, arising out of or in any            way connected with the use, manufacture, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials by            the other, its agents or contractors on, under or about the Premises including, without            limitation, the costs of any required or necessary investigation, repair, cleanup or            detoxification and the preparation of any closure or other required plans in connection            therewith, whether voluntary or compelled by governmental authority. The indemnity            obligations each of Landlord and Tenant under this clause shall survive any termination            of the Lease. Any of Landlord’s or Tenant’s insurance insuring against            claims of the type dealt with in this Paragraph shall be considered primary coverage            for claims against the Premises arising out of or under this Paragraph.

| **X.** | **Inspections** |
|--------|-----------------|

Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at any reasonable            time following reasonable notice (except in the case of emergencies or to provide            routine cleaning or maintenance), for the following purposes: (a) to ascertain the            condition of the Premises; (b) to determine whether Tenant is diligently fulfilling            Tenant’s responsibilities under this Lease; (c) to clean and to make such repairs            as may be required or permitted to be made by Landlord under the terms of this Lease;            or (d) to do any other act or thing which Landlord deems reasonable to preserve the            Premises and the Building. During the last six (6) months of the Term and at any time            Tenant is in default hereunder, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at            any reasonable time during business hours for the purpose of showing the Premises.            Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to            vacating and shall arrange to meet with Landlord for a joint inspection of the            Premises. In the event of Tenant’s failure to give such notice or arrange such            joint inspection, Landlord’s inspection at or after Tenant vacates the Premises            shall be conclusively deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant’s            responsibility for repairs and restoration.

| **XI.** | **Assignment and Subletting** |

A.        Tenant shall not have            the right to assign or pledge this Lease or to sublet the whole or any part of the            Premises, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or occupancy of            the Premises by anyone other than Tenant, without the prior written consent of            Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and such restrictions shall            be binding upon any assignee or subtenant to which Landlord has consented. In the event            Tenant desires to sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, or assign this Lease,            Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord within a reasonable time prior to            the proposed commencement date of such

subletting or assignment, which notice shall set forth the name of the            proposed subtenant or assignee, the relevant terms of any sublease and copies of            financial reports and other relevant financial information of the proposed subtenant or            assignee. In no event may Tenant sublet, nor will Landlord consent to any sublease of,            all or any portion of the Premises if the rent is determined in whole or in part based            upon the income or profits derived by the sublessee (other than a rent based on a fixed            percentage or percentages of receipts or sales). Notwithstanding any permitted            assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and            fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent herein specified and for            compliance with all of its other obligations under the terms, provisions and covenants            of this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an “event of default” (as hereinafter            defined), if the Premises or any part thereof are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in            addition to any other remedies herein provided or provided by law, may, at its option,            collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents due and becoming due to            Tenant under such assignment or sublease and apply such rent against any sums due to            Landlord from Tenant hereunder, and no such collection shall be construed to constitute            a novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s            obligations hereunder. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, a reasonable service            charge for the processing of the application for the consent and for the preparation of            the consent. Such service charge shall be collectible by Landlord only where consent is            granted by Landlord.

C.        In addition to, but            not in limitation of, Landlord’s right to approve of any subtenant or assignee,            Landlord shall have the option, in its sole discretion, in the event of any proposed            subletting or assignment, to terminate this Lease, or in the case of a proposed            subletting of less than the entire Premises, to recapture the portion of the Premises            to be sublet, as of the date the subletting or assignment is to be effective. The            option shall be exercised, if at all, by Landlord giving Tenant written notice thereof            within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written            notice and accompanying information as required above. If this Lease shall be            terminated with respect to the entire Premises pursuant to this Paragraph, the Term            shall end on the date stated in Tenant’s notice as the effective date of the            sublease or assignment as if that date had been originally fixed in this Lease for the            expiration of the Term. If Landlord recaptures under this Paragraph only a portion of            the Premises, the rent during the unexpired Term shall abate proportionately. Tenant            shall, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, discharge in full any outstanding            commission which may be due and owing as a result of any proposed assignment or            subletting, whether or not the Premises are recaptured pursuant hereto and rented by            Landlord to the proposed tenant or any other tenant. In the event of the recapture of a            portion of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph, Tenant            shall pay all costs associated with the separation of the recaptured premises from the            portion not recaptured, including, but without limitation, the cost of all demising            partitions, changes in lighting and HVAC Systems and all reasonable architectural            and/or engineering fees.

D.        In the event that            Tenant sublets, assigns or otherwise transfers its interest in this Lease and at any            time receives Excess Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of            the Excess Rent (less leasing costs) as received by Tenant. Tenant shall furnish            Landlord with a sworn statement, certified by an officer of Tenant or an independent            certified public accountant, setting forth in detail the computation of Excess Rent,            and Landlord, or its representatives, shall have access to the books, records and            papers of Tenant in relation thereto,

and            the right to make copies thereof. If a part of the consideration for such sublease or            assignment shall be payable other than in cash, the payment to Landlord shall be            payable in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. For purposes of this            Paragraph, the term “Excess Rent” shall mean the excess, if any, of (i) all            amounts received or to be received in the form of cash, cash equivalents, and non-cash            consideration by Tenant from any assignee or sublessee over (ii) the sum of the rent            payable to Landlord hereunder (or, in the case of a sublease of a portion of the            Premises, the portion of the Rent which is allocable on a per square foot basis to the            space sublet), plus the amount of any reasonable brokers’ commissions and costs            of tenant improvements incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment or            sublease, all of which shall be, in the case of a sublease, amortized over the term of            the sublease for the purpose of calculating the amounts of the periodic payments due to            Landlord hereunder.

E.        Any assignment or            subletting by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 11A of all or any portion of the Premises,            or termination of the Lease for a portion of the Premises pursuant to Paragraph 11B,            shall automatically operate to terminate each and every right, option, or election, if            any exist, belonging to Tenant, including by way of illustration, but not limitation,            any option to expand its premises or to extend or renew the term of Tenant’s            lease for all or any portion of the Premises - i.e. such rights and options shall cease            as to both space sublet or assigned and as to any portion of the original Premises            retained by Tenant.

| **XII.** | **Fire and Casualty Damage** |
|----------|------------------------------|

A.        If the Building or            Premises are rendered partially or wholly untenantable by fire or other casualty,            Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a notice within sixty (60) days of such fire or other            casualty setting forth the time, as reasonably determined by Landlord, required to            materially restore the Building or Premises. If such damage cannot, in Landlord’s            reasonable estimation, be materially restored within one hundred eighty (180) days of            such damage, then either party may terminate this Lease. A party shall exercise its            option by written notice within ten (10) days of the date of Landlord’s            determination notice. For purposes hereof, the Building or Premises shall be deemed            “materially restored” if they are in such condition as would not prevent or            materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the purpose for which            it was then being used. If this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to this Article XII,            the Term shall end on the date of the notice of termination as if that date had been            originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term and, if the Premises is            untenantable in whole or in part following the casualty, the rent payable during the            period in which the Premises is untenantable shall be reduced to such extent, if any,            as may be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances.

B.        If this Lease is not            terminated pursuant to Paragraph 12A, then Landlord shall proceed with all due            diligence to repair and restore the Building or Premises, as the case may be (except            that Landlord or Tenant may elect not to rebuild if such damage occurs during the last            year of the Term exclusive of any option which is unexercised at the date of such            damage). If this Lease shall not be terminated pursuant to this Article XII and if the            Premises is untenantable in whole or in part following the casualty, the rent payable            during the period in which the Premises is untenantable shall be reduced to such            extent, if any, as may be fair and reasonable under all of the            circumstances.

----

C.        In the event that            Landlord should fail to complete such repairs and material restoration within one            hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage, Tenant may at its option and            as its sole remedy terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord,            whereupon the Lease shall end on the date of such notice as if the date of such notice            were the date originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term; provided            however, that if construction is delayed because of changes, deletions, or additions in            construction requested by Tenant, strikes, lockouts, casualties, acts of God, war,            material or labor shortages, governmental regulation or control or other causes beyond            the reasonable control of Landlord, the period for restoration, repair or rebuilding            shall be extended for the amount of time Landlord is so delayed. Notwithstanding the            above, if Landlord delivers to Tenant a notice setting forth a new projected date for            completion of the material restoration of the Premises (such notice shall be            accompanied by an explanation for the revised date), then Tenant shall have fifteen            (15) days thereafter to exercise its right to terminate; if Tenant does not exercise            its right to terminate within such fifteen (15) day period it shall be deemed to have            agreed to allow Landlord until the date set forth in Landlord’s notice to            materially restore the Premises and may not thereafter exercise this right to terminate            unless and until Landlord has failed to materially restore by such later            date.

D.        In no event shall            Landlord be required to rebuild, repair or replace any Alterations which may have been            placed in or about the Premises by Tenant. Any insurance which may be carried by            Landlord or Tenant against loss or damage to the Building or Premises shall be for the            sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under its sole            control.

E.        Notwithstanding            anything herein to the contrary, in the event the holder of any indebtedness secured by            a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises, Building or Property requires that            any insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the            right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Tenant within fifteen            (15) days after such requirement is made by any such holder, whereupon the Lease shall            end on the date of such notice as if the date of such notice were the date originally            fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term.

F.        Each of Landlord and            Tenant hereby releases the other from any and all liability or responsibility to the            other or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise for            any loss or damage to property caused by fire, extended coverage perils, vandalism or            malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage or any other perils insured in policies of            insurance covering such property (or which would have been insured if coverage required            herein had been carried), even if such loss or damage shall have been caused by the            fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be            responsible, including any other tenants or occupants of the remainder of the Building;            provided, however, that this release shall be applicable and in force and effect only            to the extent that such release shall be lawful at that time and in any event only with            respect to loss or damage occurring during such times as the releasor’s policies            shall contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that any such release shall not            adversely affect or impair said policies or prejudice the right of the releasor to            recover thereunder. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees that it will require its            insurance carriers to include in its policies such a clause or endorsement.

G.        In the event of any            damage or destruction to the Building or Premises, Tenant shall, upon notice from            Landlord, remove forthwith, at its sole cost and expense, such portion or

all            of the property belonging to Tenant from such portion or all of the Building or            Premises as Landlord shall request.

| **XIII.** | **Liability** |
|-----------|---------------|

Except for damage to the Building covered by Landlord’s commercial            property insurance, Landlord shall not be liable for and Tenant will indemnify and hold            Landlord harmless from any loss, liability, costs and expenses, including reasonable            attorney’s fees, arising out of any claim of injury or damage on or about the            Premises caused by the negligence or misconduct or breach of this Lease by Tenant, its            employees, subtenants, invitees or by any other person entering the Premises, Building            or Development under express or implied invitation of Tenant or arising out of            Tenant’s use of the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or            Tenant’s agents, employees, invitees or any person entering upon the Development            in whole or in part because of Tenant’s use of the Premises for any damage to            persons or property due to condition, design, or defect in the Building or its            mechanical systems which may exist or occur, and Tenant assumes all risks of damage to            such persons or property. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or            damage to any property or person occasioned by theft, fire, act of God, public enemy,            injunction, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition or order of            governmental body or authority, or other matter beyond control of Landlord, or for any            injury or damage or inconvenience, which may arise through repair or alteration of any            part of the Building, or failure to make repairs, or from any cause whatever except            Landlord’s willful acts or negligence. Tenant shall procure and maintain            throughout the term of this Lease a policy of insurance, in form and substance            satisfactory to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, insuring both            Landlord (as an additional insured) and Tenant against all claims, demands or actions            arising out of or in connection with: (a) the Premises; (b) the condition of the            Premises; (c) Tenant’s operations in and maintenance and use of the Premises; and            (d) Tenant’s liability assumed under this Lease; the limits of such policy to be            in the amount of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence in respect of injury to            persons (including death) and in the amount of not less than $500,000 per occurrence in            respect of property damage or destruction, including loss of use thereof. Such policy            shall be procured by Tenant from responsible insurance companies satisfactory to            Landlord. A certificate of insurance of such policy, together with receipt evidencing            payment of the premium, shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date.            Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such policy, a            certificate of insurance of a renewal thereof (bearing notations evidencing the payment            of the renewal premium) shall be delivered to Landlord. Such policy shall further            provide that not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice shall be given to            Landlord before such policy may be cancelled or changed to reduce the insurance            coverage provided thereby.

| **XIV.** | **Condemnation** |
|----------|------------------|

A.        If any substantial            part of the Building or Premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public use            under Laws or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”) and the            Taking would prevent or materially interfere with the use of the Building or Premises            for the purpose for which it is then being used, this Lease shall terminate effective            when the Taking shall occur in

 

17

 

----

the            same manner as if the date of such Taking were the date originally fixed in this Lease            for the expiration of the Term.

B.        If part of the            Building or Premises shall be taken in a Taking, and this Lease is not terminated as            provided in Paragraph 14A, this Lease shall not terminate but the rent payable            hereunder during the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be reduced to such extent,            if any, as may be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances and Landlord shall            undertake to restore the Building and Premises to a condition suitable for            Tenant’s use, as near to the condition thereof immediately prior to such Taking            as is reasonably feasible under all the circumstances.

C.        In the event of any            such Taking, Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive and retain such            separate awards and/or portion of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their            respective interests in any condemnation proceedings; provided that Tenant shall not be            entitled to receive any award for Tenant’s loss of its leasehold interest, the            right to such award being hereby assigned by Tenant to Landlord.

| **XV.** | **Holding Over** |
|---------|------------------|

Tenant will, at the termination of this Lease by lapse of time or            otherwise, yield up immediate possession of the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant retains            possession of the Premises or any part thereof after such termination, then Landlord            may, at its option, serve written notice upon Tenant that such holding over constitutes            a creation of a month to month tenancy, in any case upon the terms and conditions set            forth in this Lease; provided, however, that the rental shall, in addition to all other            sums which are to be paid by Tenant hereunder, be equal to 150% of the rental being            paid under this Lease immediately prior to such termination. For the first thirty (30)            days of any such holdover, Tenant shall pay the rental amount paid during the first            month of the previous lease period. If no such notice is served, then a tenancy at            sufferance shall be deemed to be created at the rent in the preceding sentence. Tenant            shall only be responsible to Landlord for consequential damages in connection with this            Lease after a holdover has exceeded 60 days and has not been approved in writing by            Landlord.. The provisions of this Article shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of            any right of re-entry as herein set forth; nor shall receipt of any rent or any other            act in apparent affirmance of the tenancy operate as a waiver of the right to terminate            this Lease for a breach of any of the terms, covenants, or obligations herein on            Tenant’s part to be performed.

| **XVI.** | **Quiet Enjoyment** |
|----------|---------------------|

Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to            enter into this Lease and that Tenant, while paying the rental and performing its other            covenants and agreements herein set forth, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and            enjoy the Premises for the Term without hindrance or molestation from Landlord subject            to the terms and provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any            interference or disturbance by other tenants or third persons, nor shall Tenant be            released from any of the obligations of this Lease because of such interference or            disturbance.

| **XVII.** | **Events of Default.** |
|-----------|------------------------|

Each of the following events shall be deemed to be an “event of            default” by Tenant under this Lease after written notice given by Landlord to            Tenant:

A.        Tenant shall fail to            pay when or before due any sum of money becoming due to be paid to Landlord hereunder,            whether such sum be any installment of the rent herein reserved, any other amount            treated as additional rent hereunder, or any other payment or reimbursement to Landlord            required herein, whether or not treated as additional rent hereunder, and such failure            shall continue for a period of five (5) days from the date such payment was            due;

B.        Tenant shall fail to            comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease other than by failing to pay            when or before due any sum of money becoming due to be paid to Landlord hereunder, and            shall not cure such failure within twenty (20) days (forthwith, if the default involves            a hazardous condition) after written notice thereof to Tenant;

C.        Tenant shall fail to            vacate the Premises immediately upon termination of this Lease.

D.        The leasehold interest            of Tenant shall be levied upon under execution or be attached by process of law or            Tenant shall fail to contest diligently the validity of any lien or claimed lien and            give sufficient security to Landlord to insure payment thereof or shall fail to satisfy            any judgment rendered thereon and have the same released, and such default shall            continue for ten (10) days after written notice thereof to Tenant;

E.        Tenant shall become            insolvent, admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become            due, file a petition in bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency            statute, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, make a transfer in fraud of            creditors, apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of the            whole or any substantial part of its property, or file a petition or answer seeking            reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now in effect or            hereafter amended, or any other applicable law or statute of the United States or any            state thereof;

F.        A court of competent            jurisdiction shall enter an order, judgment or decree adjudicating Tenant a bankrupt,            or appointing a receiver of Tenant, or of the whole or any substantial part of its            property, without the consent of Tenant, or approving a petition filed against Tenant            seeking reorganization or arrangement of Tenant under the bankruptcy laws of the United            States, as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any state thereof, and such order,            judgment or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within thirty (30) days            from the date of entry thereof.

| **XVIII.** | **Remedies** |
|------------|--------------|

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Landlord shall have the            option to pursue any one of the following remedies without any notice or demand            whatsoever:

 

19

 

----

A.        Landlord may, at its            election, terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant’s right to possession only,            without terminating the Lease;

B.        Upon any termination            of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon any termination of            Tenant’s right to possession without termination of the Lease, Tenant shall            surrender possession and vacate the Premises immediately, and deliver possession            thereof to Landlord, and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord full and free license to            enter into and upon the Premises in such event with or without process of law and to            repossess Landlord of the Premises as of Landlord’s former estate and to expel or            remove Tenant and any others who may be occupying or within the Premises and to remove            any and all property therefrom, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass,            eviction or forcible entry or detainer, and without incurring any liability for any            damage resulting therefrom, Tenant hereby waiving any right to claim damage for such            reentry and expulsion, and without relinquishing Landlord’s right to rent or any            other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law;

C.        Upon any termination            of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Landlord shall be entitled to            recover as damages, all rent, including any amounts treated as additional rent            hereunder, and other sums due and payable by Tenant on the date of termination, plus            the sum of (1) an amount equal to the then present value of the rent, including any            amounts treated as additional rent hereunder, and other sums provided herein to be paid            by Tenant for the residue of the Term, less the then present value of the fair rental            value of the Premises for such residue (taking into account the time and expense            necessary to obtain a replacement tenant or tenants, including expenses hereinafter            described relating to recovery of the Premises, preparation for reletting and for            reletting itself), and (2) the cost of performing any other covenants which would have            otherwise been performed by Tenant;

D.        1.         Upon            any termination of Tenant’s right to possession only without termination of the            Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, enter into the Premises, remove            Tenant’s signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession            thereof as provided in Paragraph 18B, without such entry and possession terminating the            Lease or releasing Tenant, in whole or in part, from any obligation, including            Tenant’s obligation to pay the rent, including any amounts treated as additional            rent, hereunder for the full term. In any such case Tenant shall pay forthwith to            Landlord, if Landlord so elects, a sum equal to the entire amount of the rent,            including any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder, for the residue of the Term            plus any other sums provided herein to be paid by Tenant for the remainder of the Term,            to be used by Landlord as a deposit against Tenant’s obligations under            Subparagraph 18D(2);

2.         Landlord shall            use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or any part thereof for such rent and upon            such terms as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine. Landlord and            Tenant agree that Landlord may relet the Premises for a greater or lesser term than            that remaining under this Lease, relet the Premises as a part of a larger area, or            change the character or use made of the Premises. Landlord and Tenant further agree            that Landlord shall only be required to use the same efforts Landlord then uses to            lease other properties Landlord owns or manages (or if the Premises is then managed for            Landlord, then Landlord will instruct such manager to use the same efforts such manager            then uses to lease other space or properties which it owns or manages);provided,however, that Landlord (or its manager)            shall not be required to give any preference or priority to the showing or leasing of            the Premises over any other space

----

that Landlord (or its manager) may be leasing or have available and may            place a suitable prospective tenant in any such available space regardless of when such            alternative space becomes available;provided,further, that Landlord shall not be            required to observe any instruction given by Tenant about such reletting or accept any            tenant offered by Tenant. In any such case, Landlord may, but shall not be required to,            make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same            to the extent Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay            the cost thereof, together with Landlord’s expenses of reletting, including,            without limitation, any broker’s commission incurred by Landlord. If the            consideration collected by Landlord upon any such reletting plus any sums previously            collected from Tenant are not sufficient to pay the full amount of all rent, including            any amounts treated as additional rent hereunder and other sums reserved in this Lease            for the remaining Term, together with the costs of repairs, alterations, additions,            redecorating, and Landlord’s expenses of reletting and the collection of the rent            accruing therefrom (including reasonable attorney’s fees and broker’s            commissions), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency upon demand            and Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover sums falling due under this            section from time to time;

E.        Landlord may, at            Landlord’s option, enter into and upon the Premises, with or without process of            law, if Landlord determines in its sole discretion that Tenant is not acting within a            commercially reasonable time to maintain, repair or replace anything for which Tenant            is responsible hereunder and correct the same, without being deemed in any manner            guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer and without incurring any            liability for any damage resulting therefrom and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord,            on demand, as additional rent, for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus            effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease;

F.        Any and all property            which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of the            Lease or of law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed and            stored, as the case may be, by or at the direction of Landlord at the risk, cost and            expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value,            preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and            all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so            long as the same shall be in Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s            control. Any such property of Tenant not retaken by Tenant from storage within thirty            (30) days after removal from the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed            conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale without further            payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.

G.        In the event Tenant            fails to pay any installment of rent, including any amount treated as additional rent,            or other sums hereunder as and when such installment or other charge is due, Tenant            shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%)            of such installment or other charge overdue in any month and five percent (5%) each            month thereafter until paid in full to help defray the additional cost to Landlord for            processing such late payments, and such late charge shall be additional rent hereunder            and the failure to pay such late charge within ten (10) days after demand therefore            shall be an additional event of default. The provision for such late charge shall be in            addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and            shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies            in any manner.

H.        Pursuit of any of the            foregoing remedies shall not preclude pursuit of any of the other remedies herein            provided or any other remedies provided by law (all such remedies being cumulative),            nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of            any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of            the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. No act or            thing done by Landlord or its agents during the term hereby granted shall be deemed a            termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises, and no            agreement to terminate this Lease or accept a surrender of said Premises shall be valid            unless in writing signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach            of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or            construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms,            provisions and covenants herein contained. Landlord’s acceptance of the payment            of rental or other payments hereunder after the occurrence of an event of default shall            not be construed as a waiver of such default, unless Landlord so notifies Tenant in            writing. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcing one or more of the remedies herein            provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a            waiver of such default or of Landlord’s right to enforce any such remedies with            respect to such default or any subsequent default. If, on account of any breach or            default by Tenant in Tenant’s obligations under the terms and conditions of this            Lease, it shall become necessary or appropriate for Landlord to employ or consult with            an attorney concerning or to enforce or defend any of Landlord’s rights or            remedies hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay any attorney’s fees so incurred. Without            limiting the foregoing, Tenant hereby expressly waives any right to trial by            jury.

|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

If at any time and for so long as Tenant shall be subjected to the            provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other law of the United States or            any state thereof for the protection of debtors as in effect at such time (each a            “Debtor’s Law”), Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession, and any            trustee or receiver of Tenant’s assets (each a “Tenant’s            Representative”) shall have no greater right to assume or assign this Lease or            any interest in this Lease, or to sublease any of the Premises then accorded to Tenant            in Article XI, except to the extent Landlord shall be required to permit such            assumption, assignment or sublease by the provisions of such Debtor’s Law.            Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, any right of any Tenant’s            Representative to assume or assign this Lease or to sublease any of the Premises shall            be subject to the conditions that:

A.        Such Debtor’s            Law shall provide to Tenant’s Representative a right of assumption of this Lease            which Tenant’s Representative shall have timely exercised and Tenant’s            Representative shall have fully cured any default of Tenant under this            Lease.

B.        Tenant’s            Representative or the proposed assignee, as the case shall be, shall have deposited            with Landlord as security for the timely payment of rent an amount equal to the larger            of: (a) three months’ rent and other monetary charges accruing under this Lease;            and (b) any sum specified in Article III; and shall have provided Landlord with            adequate other assurance of the future performance of the obligations of the Tenant            under this Lease. Without limitation, such assurances shall include, at least, in the            case of assumption of this Lease, demonstration to the

satisfaction of the Landlord that Tenant’s Representative has and            will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured            obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that Tenant’s            Representative will have sufficient funds to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under            this Lease; and, in the case of assignment, submission of current financial statements            of the proposed assignee, audited by an independent certified public accountant            reasonably acceptable to Landlord and showing a net worth and working capital in            amounts determined by Landlord to be sufficient to assure the future performance by            such assignee of all of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

C.        The assumption or any            contemplated assignment of this Lease or subleasing any part of the Premises, as shall            be the case, will not breach any provision in any other lease, mortgage, financing            agreement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound.

D.        Landlord shall have,            or would have had absent the Debtor’s Law, no right under Article XI to refuse            consent to the proposed assignment or sublease by reason of the identity or nature of            the proposed assignee or sublessee or the proposed use of the Premises            concerned.

| **XX.** | **Mortgages** |
|---------|---------------|

Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgages and            deed of trust now or at any time hereafter constituting a lien or charge upon the            Property, or the improvements situated thereon, provided, however, that if the            mortgagee, trustee, or holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust            (“Mortgagee”) elects to have Tenant’s interest in this Lease superior            to any such instrument, then by notice to Tenant from such Mortgagee, this Lease shall            be deemed superior to such lien whether this Lease was executed before or after said            mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant shall at any time hereafter on demand execute any            instruments, releases or other documents which may be required by any such Mortgagee            for the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such            mortgage or for the purpose of evidencing the superiority of this Lease to the lien of            any such mortgage, as may be the case.

| **XXI.** | **Mechanic’s and Other Liens** |
|----------|--------------------------------------|

Tenant shall have no authority, express or implied, to create or place            any lien or encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever upon, or in any manner to            bind, the interest of Landlord in the Premises or to charge the rentals payable            hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant, including those who            may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs, and each such            claim shall affect and each such lien shall attach to, if at all, only the leasehold            interest granted to Tenant by this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will pay            or cause to be paid all sums legally due and payable by it on account of any labor            performed or materials furnished in connection with any work performed on the Premises            on which any lien is or can be validly and legally asserted against its leasehold            interest in the Premises or the improvements thereon and that it will save and hold            Landlord harmless from any and all loss, liability, cost or expense based on or arising            out of asserted claims or liens against the leasehold estate or against the right,            title and interest of the Landlord in the Premises or under

the            terms of this Lease. Tenant will not permit any mechanic’s lien or liens or any            other liens which may be imposed by law affecting Landlord’s or its            Mortgagees’ interest in the Premises or the Building to be placed upon the            Premises or the Building arising out of any action or claimed action by Tenant, and in            case of the filing of any such lien Tenant will promptly pay same. If any such lien            shall remain in force and effect for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof from            Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right and privilege of paying and            discharging the same or any portion thereof without inquiry as to the validity thereof,            and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be so much additional            rent hereunder due from Tenant to Landlord and shall be paid to Landlord immediately on            rendition of bill therefore. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right            to contest any such lien in good faith and with all due diligence so long as any such            contest, or action taken in connection therewith, protects the interest of Landlord and            Landlord’s Mortgagee in the Premises, and Landlord and any such Mortgagee are, by            the expiration of said twenty (20) day period, furnished such protection, and            indemnification against any loss, liability, cost or expense related to any such lien            and the contest thereof as are satisfactory to Landlord and any such            Mortgagee.

Tenant hereby irrevocably            appoints Landlord or if Landlord is a trust, Landlord’s beneficiary, as            attorney-in-fact for the Tenant with full power and authority to execute and deliver in            the name of Tenant such estoppel certificate if Tenant fails to deliver the same within            such ten (10) day period and such certificate as signed by Landlord or Landlord’s            beneficiary, as the case may be, shall be fully binding on Tenant, if Tenant fails to            deliver a contrary certificate within five (5) days after receipt by Tenant of a copy            of the certificate executed by Landlord or Landlord’s beneficiary, as the case            may be, on behalf of Tenant. In addition to any other remedy Landlord may have            hereunder, Landlord may, at its option, if Tenant does not deliver to Landlord an            estoppel certificate as set forth above within fifteen (15) days after Tenant is            requested to do so, cancel this Lease effective the last day of the then current month,            without incurring any liability on account thereof, and the Term is expressly limited            accordingly.

E.        This Lease may not be            altered, changed or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by both parties            hereto.

F.        All obligations of            Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the expiration of earlier termination of the            Term shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, including without            limitation, all payment obligations with respect to Taxes and Operating Costs and all            obligations concerning the condition of the Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier            termination of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount, as estimated by            Landlord, necessary: (1) to repair and restore the Premises as provided herein; and (2)            to discharge

----

Tenant’s obligation for unpaid Taxes, Operating Costs or other            amounts due Landlord. All such amounts shall be used and held by Landlord for payment            of such obligations of Tenant, with Tenant being liable for any additional costs upon            demand by Landlord, or with any excess to be returned to Tenant after all such            obligations have been determined and satisfied. Any security deposit held by Landlord            shall be credited against the amount payable by Tenant under this Paragraph            25F.

G.        If any clause, phrase,            provision or portion of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or            circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable under applicable Laws, such event shall            not affect, impair or render invalid or unenforceable the remainder of this Lease nor            any other clause, phrase, provision or portion hereof, nor shall it affect the            application of any clause, phrase, provision or portion hereof to other persons or            circumstances, and it is also the intention of the parties to this Lease that in lieu            of each such clause, phrase, provision or portion of this Lease that is invalid or            unenforceable, there be added as a part of this Lease a clause, phrase, provision or            portion as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable clause, phrase, provision            or portion as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

H.        Submission of this            Lease shall not be deemed to be a reservation of the Premises. Landlord shall not be            bound hereby until its delivery to Tenant of an executed copy hereof signed by            Landlord, already having been signed by Tenant, and until such delivery Landlord            reserves the right to exhibit and lease the Premises to other prospective tenants.            Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord may withhold            delivery of possession of the Premises from Tenant until such time as Tenant has paid            to Landlord the security deposit required by Paragraph 3B, the first month’s rent            as set forth in Paragraph 3A, and any sum owed pursuant to this Lease.

I.         Whenever a            period of time is herein prescribed for action to be taken by Landlord, the Landlord            shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the            computation for any such period of time, any delays due to causes of any kind            whatsoever which are beyond the control of Landlord.

J.         If there be more            than one Tenant, the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and            several. Any indemnification of, insurance of, or option granted to Landlord shall also            include or be exercisable by Landlord’s trustee, beneficiary, agents and            employees, as the case may be.

K.        Each of the parties            (1) represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any broker or            finder in connection with this Lease, except as described in Article I; and (2)            indemnifies and holds the other harmless from any and all losses, liability, costs or            expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred as a result of an alleged breach of            the foregoing warranty. Landlord agrees to promptly pay the broker, if any, listed in            Article I.
