    FIFTH
AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS

     

    THIS
FIFTH AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS (“Fifth Amendment”) is effective as of
March 22, 2010 (“Effective
Date”), and is made by and between Private Escapes Pinnacle, LLC, a
Colorado limited liability company (“Borrower”) and Kederike, LLC,
a Colorado limited liability company (“Lender”), and is joined by
Ultimate Escapes Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), solely with
respect to Sections 2(a) and 2(b)(i) below, as the successor in interest of
Borrower with respect to ownership of Private Escapes Pinnacle 1600 Broadway,
LLC, a New York limited liability company (“1600 LLC”).

     

    Background
Information

     

    By this
Fifth Amendment, Lender and Borrower seek to further amend the Loan Agreement
between Borrower and Lender dated June 1, 2006, (the “Loan Agreement”), as
previously amended by a First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated November 13,
2006 (the “First
Amendment”), a Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated December 21, 2007
(the “Second
Amendment”), a Third Amendment to Loan Documents dated March 31, 2008
(the “Third Amendment”),
and the Fourth Amendment to Loan Documents dated March 20, 2009 (the “Fourth
Amendment”).  Unless a capitalized term is defined otherwise in
this Fifth Amendment, it shall have the same meaning as in the Loan Documents,
as previously amended.

     

    On
September 15, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), Borrower and
certain of its affiliates and Holdings and certain of its affiliates consummated
transactions contemplated by that Third Amended and Restated Contribution
Agreement dated as of July 21, 1009, as amended (“Contribution
Agreement”).  Included among the transactions consummated was
an assignment to a subsidiary of Holdings of all of Borrower’s right, title and
interest in and to 1600 LLC.  As of the Closing Date, 1600 LLC owned
as its principal assets the real property located at 1600 Broadway, PH5D, New
York, New York, and all of the furnishings, fixtures and equipment in place on
that real property as of the Closing Date (collectively, the “1600 Property”).  As
of the Closing Date, 1600 LLC was subject to the Pledge Agreement, and the 1600
Property was subject to Security Instrument in favor of Lender titled “Mortgage
and Security Agreement” which is dated January 31, 2007 and was recorded in the
records of New York County, New York on February 12, 2007, at Document ID
2007000081077 (the “1600
Mortgage”).   Excluded from the transactions contemplated
by the Contribution Agreement was any transfer by Borrower of its interests in
any of the other real estate or property referred to in the Loan Agreement, as
amended (“Other
Properties”), all of which has been retained by Borrower.

     

    By this
Fifth Amendment, the parties seek to cause a portion of the amount due and
certain obligations under the Loan Documents to be bifurcated from the Loan and
assumed by Holdings on the terms and conditions below, after which Holdings
shall be solely responsible and liable for the bifurcated amount and
obligations, and Borrower shall remain responsible and liable for all other
amounts and obligations under the Loan.

     

    Agreement

     

    For good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
acknowledged, the parties agree:

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    1.           Consent to
Assignment.  Lender acknowledges that, as of the Closing Date,
Borrower has assigned to UE Member NCS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company and an affiliate of Holdings (“NCS”), all of Borrower’s
right, title and interest in and to 100% of the membership interests in the 1600
LLC, and Lender consents to such assignment.

     

    2.           Amendment. The Loan Documents
are amended as follows, notwithstanding existing terms of any of the Loan
Documents to the contrary:

     

    (a)           Partial
Assumption.  Contemporaneously with execution of this Fifth
Amendment, Holdings has assumed a portion of the remaining principal amount due
under the Loan, in an amount equal to $234,031.25 (the “Partial Assumption
Amount”).  This partial assumption has been effected
by:

     

    (i)           Holdings’
execution and delivery to Lender of the Promissory Note attached as Exhibit A to
this Fifth Amendment (“Holdings
Note”);

     

    (ii)          Holdings’
tender to Lender within seven (7) days of the Effective Date, in good funds, the
sum of $6,414.41, representing accrued interest on the Partial Assumption Amount
from the Closing Date through  January 31, 2010 (“Partial Assumption
Interest”);

     

    (iii)         Holdings’,
1600 LLC’s and Lender’s execution of the First Amendment to Mortgage and
Security Agreement attached as Exhibit B to this Fifth Amendment (“First Amendment to 1600
Mortgage”); and

     

    (iv)         Borrower’s
and Lender’s execution of the First Amendment to Pledge Agreement attached as
Exhibit C to this Fifth Amendment (“First Amendment to Pledge
Agreement”); and

     

    (v)          Execution
of the Pledge Agreement attached as Exhibit D to this Fifth Amendment (“Holdings’ Pledge Agreement”)
by Holdings, NCS and Lender.

     

    (b)           Effect.  By
these actions, the parties intend that, as of the Effective Date:

     

    (i)           The
obligations of Holdings shall be only those obligations set forth in Section
2(a) of this Fifth Amendment, the Holdings Note, the 1600 Mortgage as amended by
the First Amendment to 1600 Mortgage and the Holdings’ Pledge
Agreement.  Holdings shall not be deemed to have assumed or undertaken
any obligation that is not expressly stated in Sections 2(a) of this Fifth
Amendment, the Holdings Note, the 1600 Mortgage as amended by the First
Amendment to 1600 Mortgage or the Holdings’ Pledge Agreement.  The
respective obligations of Holdings and Borrower SHALL NOT be cross-defaulted or
cross-collateralized.

     

    (ii)          Borrower’s
repayment obligation under the Loan Documents shall be reduced by the amount of
the Partial Assumption Amount and Partial Assumption Interest.

conditions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect.

Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Fifth Amendment may be executed and delivered by facsimile or

Warranties. Borrower expressly represents and warrants as
follows:

Borrower’s knowledge, except for the security interest granted hereby, Borrower

security interest, charge or any other right, title or interest which
constitutes an imperfection of title.

     

    (b)           Borrower
will defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons at any
time claiming the same or any interest therein.

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (c)           Borrower
has full power and lawful authority to grant to Secured Party a valid security
interest in the Collateral as herein provided.

     

    (d)           Until

    (e)           Borrower

    5.           Events of Default.

include any of the following events, if not cured within the applicable period

any laws, rules or documents governing the ownership of the Collateral. If the
Borrower fails to perform any of Borrower’s obligations in this Pledge

Party's option, with notice to Borrower if required by law, may make such
appearances, disburse such sums and take such action as is necessary to protect
Secured Party's interest. Any amounts disbursed by Secured Party pursuant to
this paragraph, with interest thereon at the rate provided in the Note, shall
become additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by this Pledge Agreement.

requesting payment thereof, and Secured Party may bring suit to collect any
amounts so disbursed plus interest at the rate stated in the Note. Nothing
contained in this paragraph shall require Secured Party to incur any expense or
take any action hereunder.

and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under the Note or this Pledge
Agreement or afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently,
independently or successively.

     

    8.           Waiver. No waiver by
Secured Party of any Default shall operate as the waiver of any other Defaults
or of the same Default on a future occasion. Any forbearance by Secured Party in

remedy.

($10.00) in hand paid to each party by the other, the receipt of which hereby is
acknowledged, and the mutual promises, covenants, and conditions contained
herein, the parties hereby do agree as follows:

    4. Late Charges. In
addition to the other remedies of Owner, Tenant shall pay to Owner, as
additional rent, a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount
of the rent due if the rent is not received by Owner on or before the tenth
(10th) day after the date it is due. The parties agree that such late charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Owner will incur by
reason of such late payment.

     

    5. Security Deposit.
Tenant shall deposit with Owner upon execution of this Lease the sum of Fifty
Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) as a security deposit which shall be
held as security for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of each and
every term, covenant and condition of this Lease. If any of the rents or other
charges or sums payable by Tenant shall be over due and unpaid or should
payments be made by Owner on behalf of Tenant, or should Tenant fail to perform
any of the terms of this Lease, then Owner may, at its option, appropriate and
apply the security deposit, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to
compensate toward the payment of the rents, charges or other sums due from
Tenant, or towards any loss, damage or expense sustained by Owner resulting from
such default on the part of the Tenant In the event Tenant furnishes Owner with
proof that all utility bills have been paid through the date of Lease
termination, and performs all of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease,
the security deposit shall be returned in full to Tenant within thirty (30) days
after the date of the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease
and the surrender of the Premises by Tenant in compliance with the provisions of
this Lease. The security deposit shall be held in a separate trust account or
escrow account for the benefit of the tenant.

     

    6. Rules and
Regulations. Tenant agrees to perform and abide by such rules and
regulations as may be made from time to time by Owner, provided such rules and
regulations shall not interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises for the
purposes intended by Tenant.. Tenant further agrees to perform and abide by all
restrictive covenants which govern the use of the Premises and are of record in
the office of the Register of Deeds of Harnett County and such other restrictive
covenants, if any, as may be recorded from time to time affecting the
Premises.

     

    7. Use. During the term
of this Lease, the Premises shall be used only for the following purposes:
Manufacture of laminated glass products and steel manufacturing. In addition to
Owner's other remedies for the breach by Tenant of the provisions of this
Paragraph, Owner shall be entitled to injunctive relief, the parties agreeing
that Owner's remedies at law may not be adequate. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not manufacture ammunition or
explosives on the Premises.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    8. Non-compete/Non-solicitation.
As a material inducement to Owner entering into this Lease with Tenant, Tenant
agrees that, during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall, directly or indirectly
design, develop, manufacture, or sell any security revolving door, revolving
door, turnstile, or optical turnstile. Further, State and Federal laws not
with-standing, Owner and Tenant agree that, during the term of this Lease,
neither party shall employ or seek to employ, or advise or recommend to any
other person that such person employ or seek to employ, any employee of the
other party or otherwise induce such an employee to terminate employment with
the other party. Notwithstanding the preceding, nothing shall prohibit a party
from employing or offering to employ an employee or former employee of the other
party who has responded to a general solicitation in a newspaper or website with
respect to a job offering.

     

    9. Environmental. Tenant
shall not permit, allow, or cause any act or deed to be performed or any
practice to be adopted or followed in and about the Premises which shall cause
or be likely to cause injury or damage to any person or to the Premises. Tenant
at all times shall comply fully with all Environmental and Safety Requirements,
provided that Tenant shall not be responsible for causing the Premises to be
brought into compliance as to any environmental issue which exists prior to
Tenant's occupancy or which is caused, in whole or in part, by any party other
than Tenant. Tenant's compliance obligations shall only be to the extent that
the applicability of the Environmental and Safety Requirements are triggered by
an action or omission of Tenant. In all other respects, Owner shall, at Owner's
own expense, comply with all Environmental and Safety Requirements.
"Environmental and Safety Requirements" shall mean all federal, state, and local
statutes, regulations, ordinances, and similar provisions having the force or
effect of law, all contractual obligations and all common law concerning public
health and safety, worker health and safety, and pollution or protection of the
environment, including, without limitation, all standards of conduct and bases
of obligations relating to the presence, use, production, generation, handling,
transportation, treatment, storage, disposal, distribution, labeling, testing,
processing, discharge, release, threatened release, control, or cleanup of any
hazardous or otherwise regulated materials, substances, wastes, chemical
substances or mixtures, pesticides, pollutants, contaminants, toxic chemicals,
petroleum products or byproducts, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, noise, or
radiation. Tenant shall not permit to exist on the Premises any hazardous
substance, hazardous waste, pollutant, contaminant, toxic substance, asbestos,
oil, other petroleum, or chemical, biological, or radioactive substance
("Hazardous Materials") which is subject to regulation under any such law, rule,
regulation, order or requirement or any storage tank used for the storage
thereof, whether above-ground or underground, except such as may be consented to
in writing by Owner prior thereto. Any consent must be preceded by submission to
Owner of appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets. In the event Owner consents to
Tenant's use of Hazardous Materials, Tenant covenants that it will: (1) acquire,
store, use and dispose of such Hazardous Materials in compliance with all
Environmental and Safety Requirements; (2) comply with any recommendations by
the insurance carrier of either Owner or Tenant relating to the use by Tenant on
the Premises of such Hazardous Materials; (3) refrain from unlawfully disposing
of or allowing the disposal of any Hazardous Materials upon, within, about, or
under the Premises; and (4) remove all Hazardous Materials from the Premises,
either after their use by Tenant or upon the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease, in compliance with all Environmental and Safety
Requirements.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    In the
event of Owner's consent, Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all
necessary permits in connection with its use, storage, and disposal of Hazardous
Materials, and shall develop and maintain, and where necessary, file with the
appropriate authorities, all reports, receipts, manifests, filings, lists, and
invoices covering those Hazardous Materials and Tenant shall provide Owner with
copies of all such items upon request. Tenant shall provide to Owner, within
five (5) days after receipt thereof, copies of all notices, orders, claims, or
other correspondence from any federal, state, or local government or agency
alleging any violation of any Environmental and Safety Requirements by Tenant,
or related in any manner to Hazardous Materials. In addition, Tenant shall
provide Owner with copies of all responses to such correspondence at the time of
the response.

     

    In
addition to Owner's other remedies, Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Owner,
its successors and assigns, harmless from and against any and all loss, cost,
penalty, fine, suit, liability, claim, or damage of any and every kind
whatsoever (including reasonable attorney fees actually incurred) arising as a
result of the failure of Tenant, Tenant's agents, employees, invitees, or
successors, to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph, or as a result of
contamination, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, or
release from the Premises of any Hazardous Materials during the term of this
Lease. This indemnity shall also apply to any release of Hazardous Materials
caused by fire or other casualty to the Premises, except to the extent the
release is caused by Owner or a third party.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    Any
failure of Tenant to comply with the covenants to be performed hereunder with
respect to Hazardous Materials or Environmental and Safety Requirements, or the
filing of any environmental protection lien against the Premises as a result of
the actions of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, or successors, shall
constitute a default under this Lease.

     

    Tenant
shall provide Owner with prompt notice of any release of Hazardous Materials,
any fire, any damage occurring on or to the Premises, regardless of whether the
release of Hazardous Materials, fire, or damage is reportable to federal, state,
or local authorities. To the best of Owner's knowledge, no Hazardous Materials
have been used, generated, released, handled, stored, treated, disposed or
otherwise located within the Premises. Owner has received no notice of any
violations of any environmental or health and safety laws, regulations,
ordinances, standards, decrees, orders or permits relating to the Premises, the
Building, or the Land, or that there have been any investigations, proceedings,
claims, actions or notices pending, given or threatened, relating to the
Building or the Land.

     

    The
warranties and indemnities contained in this Paragraph shall survive the
termination of this Lease.

     

    10. Maintenance and Repair.
Tenant accepts the condition of the Premises "as is." After the
term of this Lease commences, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
maintain, repair, and replace as needed, the Premises, including, but not being
limited to, the heating and air conditioning equipment (including, but not
limited to, replacement of parts, compressors, air handling units, and heating
units) and other improvements located thereon. Normal wear and tear is expected;
provided,
however, that all maintenance, repairs, and replacements necessitated by
normal wear and tear shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and
expense. At all times during the term of the Lease, Tenant shall keep the
improvements on the Premises and the Premises themselves in as good a condition
as exists on the date this Lease commences. Tenant shall return the Premises to
Owner at the expiration or prior termination of this Lease in as good a
condition and repair as when first received, damage by fire and similar
casualties being excepted and excluding any improvements made by Tenant or any
equipment to be removed by Tenant At such expiration or termination, Tenant will
remove any improvements that it has made, provided that Owner shall have given
notice of at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration or termination of its
intention for Tenant to remove the improvements, and provided Tenant repairs any
damage to the Premises resulting from such removal. Tenant, Tenant's employees,
agents, contractors, or subcontractors shall take no action which may void any
manufacturer's or installer's warranty with relation to the Premises. In the
event Tenant fails to provide such maintenance, repair, and replacement, in
addition to other remedies available to Owner, Owner may perform or have
performed such maintenance, repair, and replacement and Tenant immediately shall
reimburse the cost thereof to Owner as additional rent.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    11. ADA Compliance.
Tenant at all times shall comply fully with all applicable federal, state, and
local laws, rules, regulations, orders, and requirements relating to the
accommodation of individuals with disabilities, including, without limitation,
the Americans with Disabilities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder
as the same from time to time may be amended (hereinafter collectively referred
to as the "Disability Laws"). To the extent required by the Disability Laws and
this Lease, Tenant shall insure that the Premises are accessible to employees,
licensees, and invitees of Tenant with disabilities and that the Premises and
Tenant's operations otherwise are in compliance with the Disability Laws, at the
sole cost and expense of Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant shall not make
any structural changes or alterations in or to the Premises except after
obtaining the prior written consent of Owner as required by the Paragraph of
this Lease entitled "Structural Changes."

     

    12. Utilities and
Services. Owner represents that the following utilities are available to
the Premises; electricity, water, sanitary sewer, gas and phone. Tenant shall be
responsible for and shall pay all costs and charges for utilities and services
in connection with Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, including but not limited
to water, sewer, energy, telephone, garbage and other services. All of the
foregoing utilities and services shall be instituted and obligated for in the
name of Tenant, and Owner shall have no responsibility whatsoever for the
furnishing or cost of same.

     

    13. Structural Changes.
Tenant shall not make any structural changes, alterations, additions, or
improvements in or to any part of the Premises except after obtaining the prior
written consent of Owner which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Owner acknowledges and consents to the construction of a demising wall
and Tenant upfit improvements as described on Exhibit B. Tenant promptly shall
remove any structural changes, alterations, additions, or improvement
constructed in violation of this Paragraph upon Owner's written request and
promptly shall repair any damage caused thereby. All approved structural
changes, alterations, additions, or improvements shall be accomplished in a good
and workmanlike manner, in conformity with all applicable laws and regulations,
by a contractor approved by Owner, and shall be free of any liens or
encumbrances. Owner may require Tenant to remove any structural changes,
alterations, additions, or improvements (whether or not made with Owner's
consent) at the termination of the Lease and to restore the Premises to its
prior condition, all at Tenant's expense. All structural changes, alterations,
additions, and improvements which Owner does not require Tenant to remove shall
become Owner's property and shall be surrendered to Owner upon the termination
of this Lease, except that in the event Tenant is not in default, Tenant may
remove any of Tenant's machinery or equipment which can be removed without
material damage to the Premises and Tenant shall repair all damages caused by
such removal. All furnishings, furniture, fixtures, and equipment installed by
Tenant on the Premises (and not required as a maintenance, repair, or
replacement item under the provisions of the Paragraph of this Lease entitled
"Maintenance and Repair") may be removed from the Premises at any time prior to
the expiration of this Lease. This right of removal of Tenant shall be
contingent upon Tenant not being in default under the terms of this Lease and
contingent upon Tenant immediately repairing and replacing any and all damage to
the Premises resulting from the removal of such furnishings, furniture,
fixtures, and equipment. At the expiration of the term of this Lease or earlier
termination, upon demand by Owner, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
shall remove any furnishings, furniture, fixtures, and equipment installed by
Tenant on the Premises, and shall repair and replace any and all damage to the
Premises resulting from such removal.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Tenant
shall not at any time suffer or permit the attachment to the Premises of any
mechanic's or material supplier's lien for work done or materials furnished in
connection with any work done to the Premises by Tenant, or in connection with
the maintenance or repair of the Premises by Tenant. Tenant agrees to indemnify
Owner and to hold Owner harmless from all loss, cost, claim, suit, liability or
damage (including reasonable attorney fees) arising as a result of the filing of
any such lien upon Owner's title and immediately to take such action as is
required to remove such lien from Owner's title. If any such lien attaches to
the Premises and is not discharged or released within sixty (60) days from the
date of attachment, whether or not such lien is valid, Owner may, at its option,
pay to the lien claimant the amount of such lien or discharge such lien as
provided by the North Carolina General Statutes and notify Tenant of such
payment or discharge, in which event such amount shall be immediately due and
payable by Tenant as additional rent. Tenant is a tenant only and no such lien
claimant may claim a lien upon the interest of Owner in the
Premises.

water or steam pipes or from any willful act or negligence of any other person
or cause whatsoever.

     

    15. Signs. Tenant shall
place no signs upon the outside walls or roof of the Premises, except with the
express written consent of Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably

regulations, and any restrictive covenants governing such signs and Tenant shall
be responsible to Owner for any damage caused by installation, use, or
maintenance of said signs, and for all damage incident to removal
thereof

     

    16. Taxes. Tenant shall
be responsible for and shall pay all ad valorem taxes and assessments imposed by
any lawful authority upon the Premises including all ad valorem taxes and
assessments imposed by any lawful authority upon any personal property located
in or upon the Premises. Such taxes and assessments shall be prorated on a
calendar year basis for any period hereunder less than a full calendar year.
Owner shall deliver to Tenant at the address of Tenant set forth in the
Paragraph herein captioned "NOTICE" statements for all such ad valorem taxes and
assessments imposed upon the Premises; and Tenant shall pay all such taxes and
assessments within fifteen (30) days after receipt thereof or on such subsequent
date as Tenant may elect provided that such taxes and assessments may be paid
thereafter without incurring any penalty or interest thereon. In the event
Tenant shall incur any penalty or interest as a result of the failure or delay
of Owner in delivery of such statements as aforesaid, Owner shall reimburse
Tenant for all such penalties and interest upon demand therefor or Tenant may
deduct from the next rentals due hereunder the amount of all such penalties and
interest. In any event, Tenant shall furnish Owner with satisfactory evidence of
payment thereof within a reasonable time thereafter.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    17. Assignment and
Subletting. Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet the Premises
to any affiliate of Tenant, successor by merger or consolidation, or acquirer of
substantially all of the assets of Tenant without the consent of Owner. Tenant
shall provide Owner with written notice of any such assignment or sublease.
Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,=Tenant
shall not have the right to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises or any
part thereof, or to permit the use of the Premises by any party other than

unreasonably withheld. Consent to any assignment or sublease shall not impair
this provision and all subsequent assignments or subleases shall be made
likewise only after the prior written consent of Owner. Any permitted assignee

hereunder, but no permitted assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant from
any liability hereunder.

     

    18. Casualty Damage. If
the Premises shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire, the elements, or other
casualty so as to render the Premises unfit for tenancy for the use and purposes
of Tenant as determined by Tenant using commercially reasonable judgment, Owner
shall notify Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage or
destruction whether or not Owner can restore the Premises for Tenant's use
within one hundred twenty (120) days after such damage or destruction. If the
Premises can be restored within such period. then this Lease shall continue with
rent equitably abated until such time as the Premises are restored. If the
Premises cannot be restored within such period, then either party shall have the
option of terminating this Lease effective as of the date of such damage or
destruction. If neither party elects to terminate the Lease, then rent shall
equitably abate until such time as Owner restores the Premises as nearly as
possible to the condition that same were in immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, at which time full rent shall recommence.

     

    In the
event of any lesser damage or destruction, Owner shall have the obligation to
repair, replace or restore the Premises or any portion thereof following any
such damage or destruction only to the extent of insurance proceeds actually
received.

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the damage or destruction occurs during the last year of the
term, and Owner determines that restoration of the Premises cannot occur within
a period that would leave at least nine (9) months remaining on the Term of the
Lease, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective
as of the date of such damage or destruction.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    19. Governmental Orders.
Tenant agrees, at its own expense, to comply promptly with all requirements of
any legally constituted public authority made necessary by reason of Tenant's
occupancy of the Premises. Owner agrees to comply promptly with any such
requirements if not made necessary by reason of Tenant's occupancy. It is
mutually agreed, however, between Owner and Tenant, that if in order to comply
with such requirements, the cost to Owner or Tenant, as the case may be, shall
exceed a sum equal to one (1) year's rent, then Owner or Tenant, whichever is
obligated to comply with such requirements, may terminate this Lease by giving
written notice of termination to the other party, which termination shall become
effective sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in accordance with the
provisions of Paragraph 36(d) hereof and which notice shall eliminate the
necessity of compliance with such requirements by the party giving such notice
unless the party receiving such notice of termination shall, before termination
becomes effective, pay to the party giving such notice all costs of compliance
in excess of one (1) year's rent, or secure payment of said sum in a manner
satisfactory to the party giving such notice.

     

    20. Condemnation. If the
whole or any part of the Premises, Building, or land shall be appropriated and
taken by virtue of any condemnation proceeding for any public or quasi-public
use or purpose so as to render the remaining portion untenantable for the uses
and purposes contemplated by the parties, as determined by Tenant using
commercially reasonable judgment, this Lease immediately shall terminate on the
date possession thereof shall be so appropriated and taken. In the event of any
lesser condemnation, and if in Tenant's reasonable opinion, the Premises are
still suitable for Tenant's intended purposes, this Lease shall continue but the
rent shall equitably abate based upon the portion of the Premises that are
untenantable. If this Lease is not terminated following a partial condemnation,
Owner shall, as speedily as is practical under the circumstances, make all
necessary repairs or alterations necessary to make the Premises an architectural
whole. All damages awarded for the acquisition or condemnation of the Premises,
or any part thereof, shall become the sole and absolute property of Owner,
regardless of whether such damages are awarded as compensation for the
diminution in the value of the leasehold or the loss of the fee.

     

    21. Inspection and Entry by
Owner. Owner and its authorized agents and representatives shall have the
right to enter the Premises during all reasonable hours in order to examine the
Premises and shall be allowed to exhibit the Premises to any prospective tenant
at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the term of this
Lease and may enter the Premises to make repairs required of Owner under the
terms hereof, if any. Owner and its agents and representatives shall give at
least one (1) business day's written notice of any such entry, except in the
event of emergency, in which event Owner shall provide notice to Tenant as soon
as reasonably possible.=The
inspection rights described in this Paragraph shall in no way diminish Tenant's
duty to provide notice of needed repairs described in the Paragraph of this
Lease entitled "Maintenance and Repair."

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    22. Subordination,
Non-Disturbance, Attornment and Estoppel. Subject to Tenant receiving a
subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement ("SNDA") from every
mortgagee, this Lease is subject to and subordinate to all security liens,
mortgages, and deeds of trust which may now or hereafter affect the Premises and
to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions
thereof. The SNDA shall be reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Notwithstanding the
self-operative nature of the foregoing, upon demand by Owner, Tenant shall
execute and deliver promptly any such SNDA, provided that such SNDA is executed
by Owner's mortgagee. Owner shall provide an executed SNDA from its current
mortgagee, if any, within twenty (20) business days after execution of this
Lease.

     

    Neither
such subordination, nor any foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust,
shall affect Tenant's right to continue in possession of the Premises under the
terms of this Lease so long as Tenant shall not default in the performance of
Tenant's obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the party
acquiring the interest of Owner hereunder as a result of foreclosure or any deed
in lieu of foreclosure, nor any of such party's successors and assigns, shall be
(a) liable for any act or omission of any prior owner; (b) subject to any
offsets or defenses which Tenant may have against any prior owner; or (c) bound
by any payments of rent which Tenant may have paid in excess of the current
month's rent to any prior owner.

     

    If the
holder of any deed of trust or other instrument affecting or encumbering the fee
title to the Premises shall succeed to the rights of Owner and shall allow
Tenant to remain in possession under this Lease, Tenant shall attorn to and
recognize such successor as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and shall
promptly execute and deliver any instrument that may be necessary to evidence
such attornment.

     

    Within
ten (10) business days after request by Owner or any mortgagee or trustee under
a mortgage or deed of trust of Owner that Tenant execute an estoppel
certificate, Tenant shall deliver such a certificate in recordable form and
satisfactory to Owner and directed to the proposed mortgagee, purchaser, or
other transferee and to Owner, certifying any facts that are then true with
respect to this Lease, including, without limitation (if such be the case), that
this Lease is in full force and effect, the date through which rent is paid,
that no default exists on the part of Owner or Tenant under this Lease, that
Tenant is in possession, that Tenant has commenced the payment of rent under the
Lease and that there are no defenses or offsets claimed by Tenant with respect
to the rent under the Lease.

Owner, Owner's mortgagee, if any, and Tenant as insureds as their respective
interests may appear, and shall contain a clause that the insurer will not
cancel or modify the insurance coverage without first giving Owner a minimum of
thirty (30) days' advance written notice by certified mail. Further, each such
policy shall be carried with a reputable insurance company authorized to do
business in North Carolina and approved by Owner, and a copy of each such policy
or a certificate of insurance shall be provided to Owner together with evidence
of the timely payment of all premiums. In the event Tenant at any time shall
fail to maintain such insurance or shall fail to pay any and all premiums
therefor, Owner shall have the right and option to effect such insurance and pay
any and all premiums therefor; and, in the event of any such payment, Tenant, on
the rental date next succeeding the date on which such payment shall have been
made, shall pay to Owner a sum equal to the amount which was so paid for such
insurance premiums, it being expressly understood that Owner shall have no
obligation whatsoever hereunder to effect such insurance or to make such premium
payments to cure the default of Tenant. Tenant, at the sole cost and expense of
Tenant, shall keep any property located therein or thereon or affixed thereto
insured to the extent that Tenant shall deem necessary to protect Tenant's
interest in such property.

     

    24. Liability Insurance.

maintain a general comprehensive public liability insurance policy insuring
Tenant, Owner and any other persons designated by Owner against any and all
liability for injury to or death of a person or persons, and for damage to or
destruction of property occasioned by or arising out of or in connection with
the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant. The limits of such policy or
policies shall be in an amount of not less than Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000.00) with respect to injuries to or death of any one (1) person, in
an amount of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) with respect to
any one (1) accident or disaster, and in an amount not less than Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000.00) with respect to property damaged or destroyed. Such
policy or policies shall contain a special endorsement recognizing and insuring
any liability accruing to Tenant as a result of Tenant's indemnification of
Owner pursuant to the Paragraph of this Lease entitled "Indemnity; Waste," and
naming Owner as an additional insured. Such policy or policies shall be
noncancellable except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Owner. Such
policy or policies or duly executed certificates of insurance as required shall
be delivered to Owner simultaneously with the execution of this Lease and
thereafter at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of each policy term.
In the event Tenant fails to maintain such insurance or to provide Owner
certificates thereof, in addition to other remedies available to Owner, Owner
may obtain such insurance and Tenant immediately shall reimburse the cost
thereof to Owner as additional rent.

insured against under the terms of any insurance actually carried regardless of
whether it is required hereunder. The foregoing waiver shall apply regardless of
the cause of origin of the claim, including but not limited to the negligence of
a party or its agents, officers, employees or contractors. The foregoing waiver

immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the
Premises and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, all without resort to
legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable
for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. If Owner should elect to
re-enter as herein provided, or should take possession pursuant to legal
proceedings, it may terminate this Lease and recover from Tenant damages in an
amount equal to all rent which is due plus the difference in value between the
present value of all rent reserved hereunder for the remainder of the term of

and repair; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the
residue, if any, shall be applied by Owner in payment of future rent due and
unpaid hereunder. If such reletting shall yield rentals insufficient for any
month to pay the rent due by Tenant hereunder for that month, Tenant shall be
liable to Owner for the deficiency and the same shall be paid monthly. No such
re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Owner shall be construed as an
election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is
given to Tenant by Owner at the time of such re-entry. Notwithstanding such
re-entry and reletting without termination, Owner, at any time thereafter, may
elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach, in which event Owner may
recover from Tenant damages incurred by reason of such breach, including the
cost of recovering the Premises and the difference in value between the present
value of the rent reserved hereunder for the remainder of the term and the
reasonable present value rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the
term.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    If Tenant

property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall, at the option of
Owner, be deemed abandoned and available to Owner to use or sell to offset any
rent due or any expenses incurred by removing same and restoring the

or fraction thereof, during which Tenant remains so in possession of the
Premises, be one and one-half times the monthly rent otherwise payable under the

the term hereof, Owner shall give notice to Tenant of the price and terms of the
proposed sale and Tenant thereupon shall have the right of first refusal to
purchase the Premises from Owner at such price and upon such terms. Tenant's
right of first refusal shall expire if not exercised by notice thereof to Owner
within thirty (30) days following the foregoing notice from Owner. In the event
that this right of first refusal shall not be exercised by Tenant or otherwise
shall expire or terminate, Tenant, by acceptance hereof, agrees to make, execute
and deliver to Owner immediately upon request therefor an instrument in proper
form for recordation evidencing the expiration of the aforesaid right of first
refusal. In the event that Tenant shall not make, execute and deliver such
instrument to Owner, Tenant shall be responsible for and Tenant hereby agrees to
pay to Owner the reasonable costs and attorney fees incurred by Owner in taking
such legal action as Owner may determine necessary to obtain confirmation of
record by judicial action or otherwise of the expiration of such right of first
refusal as well as in enforcing collection of such costs and fees. In the event
Tenant exercises its right of first refusal but closing does not occur for
whatever reason, Tenant's rights under this Paragraph shall terminate, but
Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall not.

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    34. Transfer of Owner's
Interest. In the event of the sale, assignment, or transfer by Owner of
its interest in the Premises or in this Lease (other than a collateral
assignment to secure a debt of Owner), Owner shall thereupon be released and
discharged from all its covenants and obligations under this Lease, except those
obligations that have accrued prior to such sale, assignment, or transfer, and
Tenant agrees to look solely to the successor in interest of Owner for the
performance of those covenants accruing after such sale, assignment, or
transfer. Owner's assignment of this Lease, or of any or all of its rights in
this Lease, shall not affect Tenant's obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall
attorn and look to the assignee as Owner.

     

    35. Quiet Enjoyment.
Landlord hereby covenants and agrees that if Tenant

     

    shall
perform all of the covenants and agreements herein required to be performed on
the part of Tenant, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, at all
times during the continuance of this Lease have the peaceable and quiet
enjoyment and possession of the Premises.

     

    36. Miscellaneous.

     

    a. Neither
the execution of this Lease nor the performance of any act pursuant to the
provisions hereof shall be deemed or construed to have the effect of creating
between Owner and Tenant the relationship of principal and agent, partnership,
or joint venture.

     

    b. All
rights, powers, and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties hereto shall
be cumulative and not restrictive of those given by law.

     

    c. No
failure of Owner to exercise any power given Owner hereunder or to insist upon
strict compliance by Tenant of its obligations hereunder, and no custom or
practice of the party at variance with the terms hereof shall constitute a
waiver of Owner's right to demand exact compliance with the terms
