services, in its agreed upon payment amount, such as in a case of infringement

    GENERAL
CONDITIONS

     

    This
lease is authorized and accepted under the ordinary burden of law, according to
the use of the locales, and moreover, in the following conditions the Lessee
commits to carry out or support under penalty of cancellation, with no right to
claim any compensation nor reduction in rent, neither any recourse against the
Lessor nor against his insurer.

     

    1. Taking
Possession

     

    The
Lessee shall take possession of the locales rented in the state they are
currently in, and shall not require that the Lessor make any changes to its
state nor any repairs whatsoever, the structural work of the walls and floors
shall be the only obligation borne by the Lessor.

     

    2.
Closure ~ Coverage:

     

    Since no
request may be made for other doors or locks than those currently existing, the
Lessee shall relinquish all recourse against the Lessor and against his insurer,
in the event of robbery or burglary in the leased locales.

     

    Effect
the final removal of blinds or shutters, at the option of the Lessor, without
compensation.

     

    Objects,
machines, etc., that are susceptible to water damage, must not be placed under
the frames, window panes, windows or ceilings made of glazed reinforced
concrete, if in existence, the Lessor denies any responsibility in the event
that damage occurs resulting from a force of nature in this way, since sealing
is not guaranteed to be waterproof.

     

    3.
Inventory and Maintenance:

     

    Maintain
the locales rented, during the entire lease period, in good condition through
repairs made by the tenant, and to perform, consequently, and to carry out at
his own expenses, all electrical repairs, repairs of locks, iron work, furnaces,
pluming, central heating, carpentry, painting, windows and shutters, etc., in
other words, all work necessary to keep the locales functional, as well as
making all replacements, be they total or partial. Only the structural work of
walls and floors shall be the responsibility of the Lessor (in the sense set
forth by article 606 of the Civil Code).

     

    The
Lessee shall personally carry out, after having sought prior authorization from
the Lessor, and at his sole expense, all repairs, remodeling or additions
required by an administrative authority or legislative or regulatory
disposition  in order to continue the Lessee’s activities or for any
other cause included a case of Force Majeure.

     

    The
Lessee shall maintain in good condition the entirety of the various locales
rented, and in particular, the frontage and doorways, which should be painted as
often as is necessary and at least once every three years. Consequently, the
Lessor shall not be held responsible for large repairs, as set forth in article
606 of the Civil Code, the exception to which shall only be as provided for
above, from work required for the continuation of the Lessee's
activities.

     

    Return
the locales rented at the end of the lease, in the same state, (as shown by the
inventory drawn up at the time possession was taken of the locales) as at the
beginning of the lease.

    
       

      

    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Consequently,
the Lessee should carry out all repairs, both large and small, without
distinction, with the exception of those mentioned by Article 606 of the Civil
Code, in such a way that the locales are restored at the end of the lease to a
good state of repair and maintenance.

     

    At the
expiration of the lease, another inventory shall be drawn up indicating the
tenant's repairs, which may be owed by the Lessee. The aforementioned Lessee
shall pay the amount.

                                                              The
      Seine is a lowland river. Its drainage basin is around 100,000 square
      kilometers (nearly 1/5th
      of the surface of France). It has large
      tributaries: the Marne, the
      Yonne, the Aube, and the Oise.

                                                            
	
                                                               

                                                              Their
      output comes from rains, natural drainage of groundwater, and low water
      level support from  the large reservoirs located upstream from
      Paris.

      Risk

                                                            	 
      	
                                                              The
      overflow from the rivers of the Seine Basin can occur beginning in
      November and continuing until May. These are slow and powerful floods that
      occur following long and regular rainfall on the wide drainage basins. The
      length of submersion can reach several weeks, even in exceptional
      circumstances, several months, on a local basis.

                                                               

                                                              However,
      in spite of the construction of reservoirs upstream of Paris, whose
      objective is to reduce the risks of floods, and to support low water
      levels, flooding from the Seine remains a major hazard, in particular for
      floodings at the 100-year level. In this respect, it should be considered
      that the dams present in Paris have no effect on floodings of this
      magnitude.

                                                               

                                                            
	
                                                              Precise
      Information on the Risks

                                                            	 
      	
                                                              The
      flood waves generated at the head of the drainage basin area of the Seine
      taking between 3 and 4 days for Yonne and between 6 and 8 days for
      upstream of the Seine and the Marne to arrive in the Parisian urban area.
      The water rises slowly. It can generally be anticipated since the basin is
      equipped with a system for forecasting the floods. Certain dispositions
      provide for then transmitting the information to the
      population.

                                                              In
      addition to the impact on safety of people and goods, a significant flood,
      such as the flood of the type which occurred in 1910, can have
      catastrophic consequences for both the population and economic activity,
      taking into account the density of the urbanization and the significant
      duration of the flood. Thus, if a flood like the 1910 flood were to occur,
      nearly 124,000 people would be inundated and without electricity. 162,000
      people would experience flooding in their cellars (and no electricity) and
      499,000 would be without electricity in Paris, that is to say a total of
      approximately 785,000 people impacted. The cost of the direct and indirect
      damage is estimated to be more than 10 billion euros for the Ile-de-France
      area without grids, including between 0.6 and 1.8 billion in damages to
      the habitat.

                                                               

                                                              The
      largest flood on record in Paris occurred in February of 1658: 8.96m using
      the scale of the bridge at Austerlitz, is 34 cm above the flood of 1910
      which was taken as the flood of reference for the development of the
      prevention plan for flood risk. The height of the water resulting from a
      flood similar to that of 1910 exceeds two meters at certain spots in the
      town.

      ameliorate this risk

                                                            	 
      	
                                                              The
      Flood Risk Prevention Plan is a public utility service attached to the PLU
      that demarcates the areas exposed to flooding risk, and regulated,
      according to the risk estimated by where extent of the risks and of the
      chances meet, the new projects which occupy the ground, defines the
      preventive, protection, and safeguarding measures, which must be taken and
      which in short, may act upon what exists in order to reduce the
      vulnerability of existing property. The following regulated zones have
      been identified by the PPRI of Paris:

                                                              -  Red
      Zone: principal flow zone of the river in period of flood;

                                                              -  Green
      Zone: zones of flood expansion;

                                                              -  Light
      Blue Zone: residential area located in floodplain with an immersion level
      lower than 1 meter;

                                                              -  Dark
      Blue Zone: residential area located in floodplain with an immersion level
      higher than 1 meter.

                                                               

                                                              The
      PPRI of Paris requests that companies performing a public service mission,
      care, cultural and administrative establishments, set up measures which
      permit them to reduce their vulnerability.

                        TAG 2: Hazards linked to the presence
      of old mines and pre-Ludian gypsum areas

                      
	
                        Characteristics
      of Paris sub-soil

                      	 
      	
                        The
      sub-soil of Paris contains an abundance of certain useful substances such
      as coarse limestone (building stone), gypsum (for making plaster) and
      chalk. These
      materials, with the exception of chalk, were mined from antiquity up until
      the XIXth
      century using two methods: Open
      air pits and subterranean pits.

                         

                        However,
      the gypsum contained in certain geological layers of the Parisian sub-soil
      is water soluble.  Thus,
      subterranean water circulation may have dissolved much of the gypsum
      creating in this way subterranean cavities called dissolution
      pockets.

                         

                      
	
                        Hazards
      created by the presence of old mines and pre-Ludian gypsum
      areas

                      	 
      	
                        Ground
      movement is a hazard that may be caused by the old subterranean mines and
      dissolution pocket cavities.  It is a more or less violent
      displacement of the ground and sub-soil.

                         

                      
	
                        Precise
      Information on the Risks

                      	 
      	
                        Ground
      movement due to the mines and subterranean cavities may be:

                        - Slow and continuous:
      This happens when dealing with a progressive deformation which occurs as
      sagging, or compression (reduction of the volume of certain soil under the
      effect of the load applied, from water circulation) or sliding of the
      terrain. The compressions are less deep and the diameter varies between a
      simple depression measuring from a few centimeters to a few meters. It may
      result in the movement of foundations. If the latter are not well
      laid-out, they will not evenly support the weight of the building causing
      cracking.

                        - rapid and
      intermittent: these appear as a collapse (instantaneous vertical
      displacement of the surface of the ground by a violent rupture of
      preexistent underground cavities – natural or artificial – creating an
      opening in a roughly cylindrical excavation called
      subsidence).

                         

                      
	
                        Location
      of the hazardous areas linked to the presence of pre-Ludian gypsum areas
      and old mines

                      	 
      	
                        In
      Paris, the areas containing abandoned mines are known and most of the time
      are mapped.

                        Old
      coarse limestone mines exist in the 5, 6, 12, 13, 14,
      15 and 16th districts (770 undermined
      hectares), and gypsum mines in the 10, 18, 19 and 20th districts (65 undermined
      hectares).

                        As
      far as the gypsum dissolution pockets are concerned, they originated from
      local and evolutionary phenomenon. Therefore, they
      have not been mapped previously. One hazardous area of dissolution
      was defined in the geology of the land and by verified incidents. This
      area covers a part of the 9, 10, 17, 18, and 19th
      Districts.

                         

                      
	
                        Actions
      undertaken to ameliorate this risk

                      	 
      	
                        In
      the territory of Paris, hazardous perimeters
      were defined by prefectural decree under the terms of article
      R111-3 (henceforth
      repealed) of the Urban Code. These risk perimeters are used today in the
      PPR (Risk Prevention Plan).

note:  Abbreviations and initials are generally not translated due to
the fact that they are usually impossible to identify with certainty. The
translation of the word “Brisis” could not be found anywhere, even after
consulting with other professionals. The original text contains many typos, and
this may be one also.)

      entry is different from the other of the joint
  tenants.

              


      

      What information must
appear?

      the community were the subject of one or more decrees of acknowledgment of
      the Natural or Technological Catastrophe Report, and if the property were
      the subject of a specific compensation, it is advisable to attach to the
      contract a declaration of the disaster(s) compensated of which one is
      aware. This declaration does not use the specific printed paper
      form.

      approved by the acquirer or tenant, to be able to prove that it was indeed
      given during the signature of the sales contract or lease of which it is a
      component.
