of an expert or should the experts appointed by the parties fail to
come to an agreement regarding the appointment of the third expert,
the expert or experts is/are to be appointed at the request of the
most diligent party by the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and

entrance and does not have access to the Leased Space of Lessee.




 









 






	8.18	 	Security system
	 	 	Lessor and Lessee will both use the current security system in the
building until the moment Lessor has entirely vacated Tokyostraat
27-29 and Lessee has occupied the entire building. As of that moment
Lessee is allowed to install its own security system for the entire
building and to control the access to the entire building. As of the
occupation by Lessee of Tokyostraat 31-33, Lessee is allowed to
install its own security system regarding this space.
	 
	8.19	 	Signage
	 	 	After written approval of Lessor, Lessee has the right to have signage
on the roof, in front or on the building, in accordance with the local
regulations as stated by the municipality of Haarlemmermeer. Lessee is
responsible for obtaining the required licenses required by the
(local) government. All costs related to the installation, maintenance
and removal of the aforementioned signage will be at the expense of
Lessee. Lessor will not charge rent to Lessee for the aforementioned
signage.
	 
	8.20	 	Approval SADC
	 	 	Lessee has received an approval from the Schiphol Airport Development

	8.21	 	Re-instatement current building of Lessee (Robijnlaan 8, Hoofddorp)
	 	 	Lessor and Lessee agree that in case the resolutive conditions as

longer applicable, Lessee is allowed to deliver the leased space at
the end of the lease agreement in the then current state, including
the fitting-out works (partitioning, carpeting, data network etc.),
contrary to the special conditions of the lease agreement dated 3
March 1999 between Lessor and Lessee with respect to the office space
and warehouse space located on Robijnlaan 8 in Hoofddorp.
Lessor is familiar with the fact that Lessee has not obtained permits
in relation to the mezzanine floor constructed by Lessee and used by
its employees within that leased space, and that alterations to some
of the (partition) walls will be necessary in order to comply with the
fire code. Lessee will not be liable for any costs or claims resulting
from this mezzanine floor.
	 
	 	 	Lessee has the obligation to remove the HVAC sourcing unit, located in
the warehouse space.
	 
	8.22	 	Resolutive condition (1)
	 	 	Lessee is entitled to partially dissolve this Lease Agreement (in the
way described in article 8.24) if its Managing Board (“directie”)
will not have granted its approval to enter into this lease before 1
October 2004, on the terms and conditions as set out in this Lease
Agreement. In the last week of September 2004 (therefore as from 23
September) Lessor and Lessee will meet, during which meeting Lessee
will inform Lessor whether this approval will be obtained or not
before 1 October 2004. If Lessee will not obtain this approval prior
to 1 October 2004, the aforementioned period can be extended until 31
December 2004, at the exclusive judgement of Lessor. Lessee has to
notify Lessor by registered mail if it has obtained the definite
answer of the Managing Board.




 









 






	8.23	 	Resolutive condition(2)
	 	 	Lessee is also entitled to partially dissolve this Lease Agreement (in
the way described in article 8.24) if Lessee has not obtained all
required licences and exemptions necessary for conducting its business
within the Leased Space from the municipality of Haarlemmermeer
ultimately on 30 March 2005. Lessee has to inform Lessor prior to the
aforementioned date about its progress in obtaining these licences and
exemptions. Lessee will provide Lessor with the final drawings and
specifications for the fitting-out works ultimately on 30 September
2004 in order to obtain all required licences and exemptions.
In case this Lease Agreement will be partially dissolved by Lessee
under this paragraph after the commencement date of the lease period
and after Lessee has obtained the approval as set forth in article
8.22 for the entering into this Lease Agreement, Lessee has the
obligation to pay to Lessor a lumpsum payment amounting to € 1,250,000
(in words: one million two hundred fifty thousand euros). This amount
will be paid by Lessee to Lessor not later than 5 days after Lessee
has notified Lessor of its intention to partially terminate the lease.
	 
	8.24	 	Change in terms and conditions in case of partial dissolution
	 	 	If Lessee invokes a resolutive condition as set forth in articles 8.22
and 8.23 of this Lease Agreement, this Lease Agreement will partially
be dissolved. The Leased Space will then be reduced to approx. 1,174.9
sq.m. office space (including an equal share in the common areas),
located on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floor of Tokyostraat 31-33, as well
as 35 parking spaces, as for this part of the Leased Space no approval
of Lessee’s Managing Board is required. Lessee will then also have the
right to occupy the 3rd floor of Tokyostraat 27-29, provided that
Lessee gives a three (3) months’ notice to Lessor regarding its wish
to occupy this floor. The exact lettable floor area will be calculated
in accordance with a NEN 2580 measurement report. The parties shall
appoint Aequo in Rotterdam, an independent expert, to perform such
calculation.
	 
	 	 	Lessee will then have the obligation to remove immediately the
temporary IT-room located on the 1st floor.
	 
	 	 	If this Lease Agreement will be partially dissolved by Lessee, based
on the paragraphs mentioned hereabove, the following terms and
conditions will apply.
	 
	 	 	The lease period as mentioned in article 3 of this Lease Agreement
will be 5 years + 1 x 5 years extension option. Only Lessee can
terminate this Lease Agreement as from the end of the first lease
period of 5 years. The rent as mentioned in this Lease Agreement will
be based on the size of the office space, calculated according to the
NEN 2580 measurement report for lettable floor area, multiplied by €
170 (in words: one hundred seventy euros) per sq.m. per annum and 35
parking spaces multiplied by € 570 (in words: five hundred seventy
euros) per parking space per annum.
	 
	 	 	The rent will be indexed for the first time on 1 September 2005, in
accordance with article 4.5. The advance payment for the service
charges will be set at € 25 (in words: twentyfive euros) per sq.m. per
annum, as described in articles 5 and 8.10 of this Lease Agreement.
Lessee will not receive the once-only compensation of € 1,300,000 (in




 









 






	 	 	words: one million three hundred thousand euros), from Lessor as
mentioned in article 8.8 of this Lease Agreement. Contrary to article
8.21, the reinstatement obligation of Lessee described in the special

remain in place. The other terms and conditions as mentioned in this
