ARTICLE IV

TERM

4.1Term. All of the provisions of this Lease shall be in full force and effect from and after the Commencement Date. The Term shall also include any properly exercised renewal or extension of the term of this Lease.

4.2Renewal. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the separate, exclusive, conditional rights, exercisable at Tenant's option, to renew the term of this Lease for up to two (2) terms of five (5) years each (each such term is hereinafter referred to as a "Renewal Term"). If exercised, and if the conditions set forth in this Section 4.2 have been satisfied, the first Renewal Term shall commence immediately following the end of the initial Term and the second Renewal Term shall commence immediately following the end of the first Renewal Term. The rights of renewal herein granted shall be applicable only to the entire Premises and the Data Center then leased by Tenant. The rights of renewal herein granted to Tenant shall be subject to, and shall be exercised in accordance with, the following terms and conditions:

2

(a)Tenant shall exercise its right of renewal with respect to each Renewal Term by giving Landlord written notice (hereinafter referred to as the "Renewal Notice ") thereof not later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the then-current Term of this Lease. If Tenant timely exercises its right to renew with respect to each applicable Renewal Term, at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the then-current Term of this Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord's then estimate of its determination of the annual Market Rent, as hereinafter defined. The parties shall for the next thirty (30) days thereafter attempt to agree upon an annual Base Rent payable during the Renewal Term which would equal Ninety Five Percent (95%) of the Market Rent, as defined below, for the Premises prevailing as of the first day of the Renewal Term. Market Rent shall mean the net effective base annual rent rate that would be payable to tenants renting comparable space in comparable buildings in Northern Fairfield County Connecticut (hereinafter referred to as the "Market Area") for a comparable term commencing on or about the date of the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term, further adjusted to reflect the Tenant obligations to pay for electricity and any increases in Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses as herein contained which shall remain in effect during each Renewal Term. Market Rent shall not be adjusted for any vacancy period or other "down time" which may have been attributable to Landlord's reletting of the Premises had Tenant not exercised this option to extend. All relevant factors shall be considered by the parties during such negotiations in determining applicable Market Rent including, but not limited to, the general office rental market in the Market Area, rental rates then being quoted by Landlord to comparable tenants for comparable space in the Building, and the rents being charged similar tenants for similar office space in first-class office buildings. If during such thirty (30) day period the parties agree on the Market Rent during each year of the Renewal Term, then they shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease stating Ninety Five Percent (95%) the Market Rent so agreed upon. If during such thirty (30) day period the parties are unable, for any reason whatsoever, to agree on such Market Rent, then within fifteen (15) days thereafter the Tenant shall advise Landlord of Tenant's determination of Market Rent and Landlord shall advise Tenant of Landlord's determination of Market Rent and each of the parties shall each appoint an unaffiliated real estate broker who shall be licensed in the state where the Premises are located and who specializes in the field of commercial office space leasing in the Market Area, has at least ten (10) years of experience and is recognized within the field as being reputable and ethical (hereinafter referred to as an "Appraiser"). Tenant's failure to timely notify Landlord of its designated Appraiser or its determination of Market Rent shall be deemed to be acceptance by Tenant of Landlord's determination of Market Rent. Such two individuals shall each determine within ten (10) days after their appointment whether Landlord's determination or Tenant's determination of Market Rent is closest to Market Rent. If such individuals do not agree on which determination of Market Rent is the closest to Market Rent, then the two individuals shall, within five (5) days, together appoint a third similarly qualified Appraiser. The third individual shall within ten (10) days after his or her appointment make a determination of the Market Rent whether Landlord's determination or Tenant's determination of the Market Rent is the closest to Market Rent and such shall be deemed the Market Rent hereunder. The Market Rent applicable during the applicable Renewal Term shall be the Market Rent determined pursuant to the forgoing procedure and shall be final and conclusive. Landlord and Tenant shall each bear the cost of its broker and shall share equally the cost of the third broker. Upon determination of the Market Rent payable pursuant to this Section, the parties shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease stating Ninety Five Percent (95%) the Market Rent so determined or agreed upon as the Base Rent payable during the applicable Renewal Term.

(b)If Tenant's renewal notice is not given timely, then Tenant's right of renewal shall lapse and be of no further force or effect.

(c)If an Event of Default, as hereinafter defined, exists under this Lease on the date Tenant sends a Renewal Notice or any time thereafter until the applicable Renewal Term is to commence, then, at Landlord's election, the Renewal Term shall not commence and the term of this Lease shall expire at the expiration of the then-current term of this Lease.

(d)Tenant's right of renewal under this Section may be exercised only by Tenant and a Permitted Transferee, as hereinafter defined, and may not be exercised by any other transferee, sublessee or other assignee of Tenant.

(e)If at the time of exercise of any Renewal Term, in excess of thirty (30%) percent of the Premises has been subleased or if this Lease has been assigned to a party other than a Permitted Transferee, or if this Lease has been terminated, then Tenant's rights pursuant to this Section shall lapse and be of no further force or effect.

(f)Tenant agrees to accept the premises to be covered by this Lease during each applicable Renewal Term in an "as is" physical condition, subject to Landlord's obligations herein contained, and Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any allowance, credit, concession or payment from Landlord for the improvement thereof.

(g)Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that no real estate brokerage commission or finder's fee shall be payable by Landlord in connection with any exercise by Tenant of any renewal option herein contained, provided that Landlord shall be liable to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from all claims, damages, losses and liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, due to any claims for commissions or finder's fees made by Broker in connection therewith.

ARTICLE V

(c)If the average occupancy rate for the Building during any calendar year, including the Operating Expenses Base Year, is less than eighty percent (80%), or if any tenant is separately paying for (or does not require) electricity or janitorial services furnished to its premises, then Operating Expenses for such year shall be deemed to include all additional expenses, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, which would have been incurred during such year if such average occupancy rate had been ninety-five percent (95%).

(d)Tenant shall make estimated monthly payments to Landlord on account of the amount by which Operating Expenses that are expected to be incurred during each calendar year (or portion thereof) would exceed the Operating Expenses Base Amount. At the beginning of the Term and at the beginning of each calendar year thereafter, Landlord may submit a statement setting forth Landlord's reasonable estimate of such excess and Tenant's Share thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month following receipt of such statement, until Tenant's receipt of a succeeding statement, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Tenant's Share thereof. From time to time during any calendar year, Landlord may revise Landlord's estimate and adjust Tenant's monthly payments to reflect Landlord's reasonable revised estimate based upon updated information. As soon as practical after the end of each calendar year, but in any event within one hundred and sixty (160) days thereafter, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement for such calendar year showing: (1) Tenant's Share of the amount by which Operating Expenses incurred during the preceding calendar year exceeded the Operating Expenses Base Amount; and (2) the aggregate amount of Tenant's estimated payments made on account of Operating Expenses during such year. If such statement indicates that the aggregate amount of such estimated payments exceeds Tenant's actual liability, then Landlord shall credit the net overpayment toward Tenant's next estimated payment(s) pursuant to this Section, or, if this Lease has terminated, immediately refund to Tenant such net overpayment. If such statement indicates that Tenant's actual liability exceeds the aggregate amount of such estimated payments, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess as additional rent within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such statement.

(e)For a period of ninety (90) days after Tenant's receipt of such statement, Tenant, or an independent, certified public accountant who is hired by Tenant on a noncontingent fee basis and who offers a full range of accounting services, shall have the right, during regular business hours and after giving at least ten (10) days' advance written notice to Landlord, to inspect and complete an audit of Landlord's books and records relating to Operating Expenses for the immediately preceding calendar year. Tenant shall (and shall cause its employees, agents and consultants to) keep the results of any such audit strictly confidential. If such audit shows that the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of increases in Operating Expenses exceed the amounts to which Landlord is entitled hereunder, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess toward the next monthly payments of Operating Expenses due hereunder or, if this Lease has terminated, immediately refund to Tenant such net overpayment. All costs and expenses of any such audit or audited statement shall be paid by Tenant, provided that Landlord shall not impose charges or collect any expenses incurred in cooperating with such audit. If Tenant does not notify Landlord in writing of any objection to any statement within ninety (90) days after receipt thereof, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived any objection thereto and such statement shall be binding upon Tenant.

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, the Operating Expenses Base Amount shall not be less than the actual Operating Expenses for the calendar year 2007 (computed in accordance with this Article VI) which shall be adjusted if the actual Building occupancy rate is less than ninety five percent (95%) so as to include all additional expenses, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, which would have been incurred during such year if such average occupancy rate had been ninety-five percent (95%), provided however that in no event shall the the Operating Expenses Base Amount exceed Eight Million Five Hundred Thirty One Thousand Five Hundred Nine Dollars and Sixty Five Cents ($8,531,509.65), which the parties hereto agree for all purposes of this Lease is Eight Dollars and Fifteen Cents ($8.15) per square foot of the Rentable Area of the Building.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay to Landlord increases in Controllable Operating Charges for any calendar year after calendar year 2007 attributable to Controllable Operating Charges, as defined in the next sentence, that exceed, in the aggregate, the amount of Controllable Operating Charges that would have been in payable in such calendar year if Controllable Operating Charges increased by the percentage increase in the CPI, from the CPI existing as of the date hereof to the CPI as of the last month in any applicable calendar year. For purposes of this Section, "Controllable Operating Charges" are the Operating Expenses for ordinary cleaning and maintenance of the Building, the Premises and the common areas of the Project, including landscaping and snow removal, and for administrative costs and expenses.

(b)"Real Estate Taxes" shall mean and include: (1) all real estate taxes, personal property taxes, vault and/or public space rentals, business district or arena taxes, special user fees, rates, and assessments (including general and special assessments, if any), ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, which are imposed upon Landlord or assessed against the Project or Landlord's personal property used in connection therewith, (2) any other present or future taxes or governmental charges that are imposed upon Landlord or assessed against the Project which are in the nature of or in substitution for real estate taxes, including any tax levied on or measured by the rents payable by tenants of the Project, and (3) expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and expenses and court costs, incurred in reviewing, protesting or seeking a reduction of real estate taxes, whether or not such protest or reduction is ultimately successful, provided however that if such a protest or reduction is not successful and made after the fifth full year of the Term: (i) only Eighty Percent (80%) of the costs of same shall be included in Real Estate Taxes if such protest is made during the sixth year of the Term , only Sixty Percent (60%) of the costs of same shall be included in Real Estate Taxes if such protest is made during the seventh year of the Term, only Forty Percent (40%) of the costs of same shall be included in Real Estate Taxes if such protest is made during the eighth year of the Term, only Thirty Percent (30%) of the costs of same shall be included in Real Estate Taxes if such protest is made during the ninth year of the Term and only Twenty Percent (20%) of the costs of same shall be included in Real Estate Taxes if such protest is made during the tenth year of the Term; and (ii) only Eighty Percent (80%) of the costs of same shall be included in Real Estate Taxes if such protest is made during the first year of a Renewal Term , only Sixty Percent (60%) of the costs of same shall be included in Real Estate Taxes if such protest is made during the second year of a Renewal Term, only Forty Percent (40%) of the costs of same shall be included in Real Estate Taxes if such protest is made during the third year of a Renewal Term, only Thirty Percent (30%) of the costs of same shall be included in Real Estate Taxes if such protest is made during the fourth year of a Renewal Term and only Twenty Percent (20%) of the costs of same shall be included in Real Estate Taxes if such protest is made during the fifth year of a Renewal Term. Subject to the foregoing, Real Estate Taxes shall not include any inheritance, estate, gift, franchise, corporation, transfer, net income or net profits tax assessed against Landlord solely relating to the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where any such Real Estate Taxes may be paid over a multi-year period, regardless of whether Landlord makes a lump sum payment, they shall be computed as though they are payable over a multi-year period.

(c)If during any calendar year, including the Real Estate Taxes Base Year, the Project is not fully assessed for tax purposes, then Real Estate Taxes for such year shall be deemed to include all additional taxes, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, which would have been incurred during such year if the Project had been fully assessed and taxed, excluding any abatement or tax incentive program in effect. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Real Estate Taxes Base Amount shall not be less than the actual Real Estate Taxes for fiscal year 2006-2007 as computed in accordance with this Article VI, provided however that in no event shall the Real Estate Taxes Base Amount be in excess of Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Six Hundred Forty Three Dollars and Sixty Five Cents ($2,250,643.65), which the parties hereto agree for all purposes of this Lease is Two Dollars and Fifteen Cents ($2.15) per square foot of the Rentable Area of the Building.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month following receipt of such statement, until Tenant's receipt of a succeeding statement, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the such amount. From time to time during any calendar year, Landlord may revise Landlord's estimate and adjust Tenant's monthly payments to reflect Landlord's revised estimate. Within approximately one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as is feasible, Landlord shall submit a statement showing (1) Tenant's Share of the amount by which Real Estate Taxes incurred during the preceding calendar year exceeded the Real Estate Taxes Base Amount, and (2) the aggregate amount of Tenant's estimated payments made during such year. If such statement indicates that the aggregate amount of such estimated payments exceeds Tenant's actual liability, then Landlord shall credit the net overpayment toward Tenant's next estimated payment(s) pursuant to this Section or immediately refund such amount to Tenant if this Lease has terminated. If such statement indicates that Tenant's actual liability exceeds the aggregate amount of such estimated payments, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess as additional rent within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such statement.

(e)If the Term commences or expires on a day other than the first day or the last day of a calendar year, respectively, then Tenant's liabilities pursuant to this Article for such calendar year shall be apportioned by multiplying the respective amount of Tenant's proportionate share thereof for the full calendar year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during such calendar year falling within the Term, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365).

ARTICLE VII

7.1Use. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises solely for general (non-medical and non-governmental) office purposes, including ancillary uses attendant thereto such as computer operations, and for no other use or purpose. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises for any unlawful purpose, or in any manner that will violate the certificate of occupancy for the Premises or the Building or that will constitute waste, nuisance or unreasonable annoyance to Landlord or to any other tenant or user of the Building.

7.3Hazardous Materials.

(a)Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be generated, used, released, stored or disposed of in or about the Project, provided that Tenant may use and store reasonable quantities of standard cleaning materials and materials used in conjunction with computers and standard office equipment as may be reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct normal general office use and computer operations in the Premises provided the same are handled, stored and disposed of in accordance with all Laws. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord free of Hazardous Materials generated, used, released, stored or disposed in the Premises by Tenant or any invitee of Tenant during the Term, and in compliance with all Environmental Laws. "Hazardous Materials" means (a) asbestos and any asbestos containing material and any substance that is then defined or listed in, or otherwise classified pursuant to, any Environmental Law or any other applicable Law as a "hazardous substance," "hazardous material," "hazardous waste," "infectious waste," "toxic substance," "toxic pollutant" or any other formulation intended to define, list, or classify substances by reason of deleterious properties such as ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, carcinogenicity, toxicity, reproductive toxicity, or Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) toxicity, (b) any petroleum and drilling fluids, produced waters, and other wastes associated with the exploration, development or production of crude oil, natural gas, or geothermal resources, and (c) any petroleum product, polychlorinated biphenyls, urea formaldehyde, radon gas, radioactive material (including any source, special nuclear, or by-product material), medical waste, chlorofluorocarbon, lead or lead-based product. "Environmental Law" means any present and future Law and any amendments (whether common law, statute, rule, order, regulation or otherwise), permits and other requirements or guidelines of governmental authorities applicable to the Project and relating to the environment and environmental conditions or to any Hazardous Material including, without limitation, CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. §6901 et seq., the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. §1801 et seq., the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. §1251 et seq., the Clean Air Act, 33 U.S.C. §7401 et seq., the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. §2601 et seq., the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. §300f et seq., the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act, 42 U.S.C. §1101 et seq., the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29 U.S.C. §651 et seq., and any so-called "Super Fund" or "Super Lien" law, any Law requiring the filing of reports and notices relating to hazardous substances, environmental laws administered by the Environmental Protection Agency, and any similar Laws.

(b)Notwithstanding any termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord, its employees and agents harmless from and against any damage, injury, loss, liability, charge, demand or claim based on or arising out of the presence or removal of, or failure to remove, Hazardous Materials generated, used, released, stored or disposed of by Tenant or any invitee, agent, employee, subtenant, assignee, contractor, client, family member, licensee, customer or guest of Tenant (hereinafter referred collectively to as "Invitees" and individually as an "Invitee") in or about the Building, whether before or after the Commencement Date. In addition, Tenant shall give Landlord immediate verbal and follow-up written notice of any actual or threatened Environmental Default, which Environmental Default Tenant shall cure in accordance with all Environmental Laws and only after Tenant has obtained Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. An "Environmental Default" means any of the following caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any Invitee: a violation of an Environmental Law; a release, spill or discharge of a Hazardous Material on or from the Premises, the Project or the Building; an environmental condition requiring responsive action; or an emergency environmental condition. Upon any Environmental Default, in addition to all other rights available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, except in event of emergency where no notice shall be required, to immediately enter the Premises, to supervise and approve any actions taken by Tenant to address the Environmental Default, and, if Tenant fails to immediately address same to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction, to perform, upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant at Tenant's sole reasonable cost and expense, any lawful action necessary to address same. If any lender or governmental agency shall require testing to ascertain whether an Environmental Default is pending or threatened, then Tenant shall pay the reasonable costs therefor as additional rent. Promptly upon request, Tenant shall execute from time to time affidavits, representations and similar documents concerning Tenant's best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials at or in the Building, the Project or the Premises generated, used, released, stored or disposed by Tenant or any invitee of Tenant.

7.4Building Structure and Systems. Landlord at its expense, subject to reimbursement pursuant to Article VI only to the extent permitted thereby, shall comply with applicable Laws to the extent same apply directly to the Building Structure and Systems, as defined below, including portions thereof located within the Premises and to such Laws that apply directly to the common areas of the Project as a whole; provided, however, that to the extent any non-compliance is a result of the use or occupancy of the Premises or any action or inaction of Tenant or any Invitee, then such compliance shall be at Tenant's cost, except to the extent specifically required herein to be paid by Landlord. Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall be solely responsible for taking any and all measures which are required to comply with all applicable Laws concerning the Premises (including means of ingress and egress thereto) and the business conducted therein. Any Alterations, as hereinafter defined, made or constructed by Tenant for the purpose of complying with such Laws or which otherwise require compliance with such Laws shall be done in accordance with this Lease; provided, that Landlord's consent to such Alterations shall not constitute either Landlord's assumption, in whole or in part, of Tenant's responsibility for compliance with such Laws, or representation or confirmation by Landlord that such Alterations comply with the provisions of such Laws.

7.5Hazardous Material Representation. Landlord represents that it has not received any written notice of violation of any Environmental Law which remains uncured, and that, to its actual knowledge as of the date hereof, no Hazardous Material (other than standard quantities of standard building cleaning, maintenance and repair materials or other de minimis amounts of same) are present in the Project that would adversely affect the Premises or Tenant's access thereto or are in violation of any Environmental Law.

ARTICLE VIII

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

8.1Alienation. Except as provided in Section 8.6 below, Tenant shall not assign, transfer or otherwise encumber (collectively, "assign") this Lease or all or any of Tenant's rights hereunder or interest herein, or sublet or permit anyone to use or occupy (collectively, "sublet") the Premises or any part thereof, without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or granted in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that Tenant has provided Landlord with any applicable Intention Notice described in Section 8.3 hereof and Landlord has not elected the available rights thereunder, and Tenant has provided Landlord with the Request Notice described in Section 8.2 hereof and all information required in connection therewith, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting of the Premises, provided that: (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) any portion of the Premises, or the means of ingress or egress to any the portion of the Premises, after such proposed sublease or assignment or the proposed use of any portion thereof by the proposed assignee or subtenant will not violate any Law or the provisions of this Lease; (iii) any proposed assignee is, under a commercially reasonable standard, sufficiently financially responsible to perform its obligations under the proposed sublease or assignment; (iv) the proposed assignee or subtenant is not a government, or subdivision or agency thereof; (v) the proposed assignee or subtenant is not a tenant in the Building, provided the condition set forth in this clause (v) shall not be applicable if the Building is Ninety Five Percent (95%) leased at the commencement of such assignment or sublease; (vi) such proposed sublease or assignment would increase the electricity consumption or heating ventilating and air-conditioning within the Premises in excess of the standards for which same are designed or violate any provision or restrictions herein relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises (including parking requirements); (vii) Landlord is not required by Law to make any alterations, installations, improvements, additions or other physical changes to be performed in or made to any portion of the Building or the Project; and (viii) such sublease or assignment does not contemplate use of the subject premises by more than one person for each two hundred fifty (250) rentable square feet of rentable area; provided, however, that the foregoing are merely examples of reasons for which Landlord may withhold its approval and shall not be deemed exclusive of any permitted reasons for reasonably withholding approval, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing examples. Any attempted assignment, transfer or other encumbrance of this Lease or all or any of Tenant's rights hereunder or interest herein not in accordance with this Article VIII, and any sublet or permission to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof not in accordance with this Article VIII shall be void and of no force or effect. In the event of any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain fully liable as a primary obligor for the payment of all rent and other charges required hereunder and for the performance of all obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Any assignment or subletting, Landlord's consent thereto, or Landlord's collection or acceptance of rent from any assignee or subtenant shall not be construed either as waiving or releasing Tenant from any of its liabilities or obligations under this Lease as a principal and not as a guarantor or surety, or as relieving Tenant or any assignee or subtenant from the obligation of obtaining Landlord's prior written consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. For any period during which an Event of Default exists hereunder, Tenant hereby authorizes each such assignee or subtenant to pay said rent directly to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord specifying same. Landlord's collection of such rent shall not be construed as an acceptance of such assignee or subtenant as a tenant. Tenant shall not mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber (hereinafter referred to as collectively as "mortgage") this Lease without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. If Landlord's consent is required hereunder, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord an administrative fee equal to five hundred dollars ($500) plus all other expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and accounting costs) incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant's request for Landlord to give its consent to any assignment, subletting, or mortgage. Tenant shall notify Landlord prior to engaging a real estate broker in connection with any proposed assignment or sublease, and any such broker shall be subject to the approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any sublease, assignment or mortgage shall, at Landlord's option, be effected on forms reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a fully-executed copy of each agreement evidencing a sublease, assignment or mortgage within five (5) days after Tenant's execution thereof but not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date thereof.

8.2Tenant's Request Notice. If at any time during the Term Tenant desires to assign, sublet or encumber all or part of this Lease or the Premises pursuant to an assignment, sublease or other document that requires Landlord's consent, then in connection with Tenant's request to Landlord for Landlord's consent thereto, Tenant shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such assignment, subletting or encumbrance, provide notice to Landlord in writing (hereinafter referred to as the "Tenant's Request Notice") containing: the identity of the proposed assignee, subtenant or other party and a description of its business; the terms of the proposed assignment, subletting or other transaction, the proposed applicable document, the commencement date of the proposed assignment, subletting or other transaction (hereinafter referred to as the "Proposed Sublease Commencement Date"); the area proposed to be assigned, sublet or otherwise encumbered (hereinafter referred to as the "Proposed Sublet Space"); the most recent financial statement or other evidence of financial responsibility of such proposed assignee, a certification executed by Tenant and such party stating whether or not any premium or other consideration is being paid for the assignment, sublease or other transaction and such other documentation as is reasonably required by Landlord. Landlord shall use reasonable commercial efforts to respond to Tenant within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Tenant's Request Notice and the aforesaid information.

8.3Recapture. In the event: (a) Tenant proposes to assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any portion thereof for eighty percent (80%) or more of the balance of the Term; or (b) Tenant proposes to sublease twenty percent (20%) or more of the rentable area of the Premises, then Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof in writing, not less than ninety (90) days prior to the earliest date that Tenant proposes such assignment or subletting shall be effective, describing the Proposed Sublet Space, the term of any proposed sublease and the Proposed Sublease Commencement Date (hereinafter referred to as the "Intention Notice"). Landlord shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to terminate this Lease in the event of an assignment or, with respect to the Proposed Sublet Space, a sublease, as applicable, by sending Tenant written notice of such termination within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of an Intention Notice from Tenant; provided, however, that with respect to a recapture that is triggered by a proposed sublease, Landlord shall recapture the Proposed Sublet Space for only the term of the proposed sublease (except that if the term of the proposed sublease is for eighty percent (80%) or more of the balance of the Term, then Landlord may recapture the Proposed Sublease Space for the entirety of the balance of the Term). If the Proposed Sublet Space does not constitute the entire Premises and Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease with respect to the Proposed Sublet Space, then (i) Tenant shall tender the Proposed Sublet Space to Landlord on the Proposed Sublease Commencement Date specified in Tenant's Intention Notice and such space shall thereafter be deleted from the Premises, and (ii) as to that portion of the Premises which is not part of the Proposed Sublet Space, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that Base Rent and additional rent shall be reduced pro rata. The cost of any construction required to permit the operation of the Proposed Sublet Space separate from the balance of the Premises shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent hereunder. If the Proposed Sublet Space constitutes the entire Premises and Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, then Tenant shall tender the Proposed Sublet Space to Landlord, and this Lease shall terminate, on the Proposed Sublease Commencement Date.

8.4Profit Share. If any sublease or assignment (whether by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation an assignment pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Insolvency Law) provides that the subtenant or assignee thereunder is to pay any amount in excess of the sum of (a) the rental and other charges due under this Lease plus (b) the reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses paid by Tenant in connection with the procurement of such sublease, assignment or other transfer, then whether such excess be in the form of an increased monthly or annual rental, a lump sum payment, payment for the sale, transfer or lease of Tenant's fixtures, leasehold improvements, furniture and other personal property, or any other form (and if the subleased or assigned space does not constitute the entire Premises, the existence of such excess shall be determined on a pro-rata basis), Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any such excess or other premium applicable to the sublease or assignment, which amount shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent within ten (10) days after any receipt thereof by Tenant. Acceptance by Landlord of any payments due under this Section shall not be deemed to constitute approval by Landlord of any sublease or assignment, nor shall such acceptance waive any rights of Landlord hereunder. Landlord shall have the right to inspect and audit Tenant's books and records relating to any sublease or assignment.

8.5Compliance. All restrictions and obligations imposed pursuant to this Lease on Tenant shall be deemed to extend to any subtenant, assignee, licensee, concessionaire or other occupant or transferee, and Tenant shall cause such person to comply with such restrictions and obligations. Any assignee shall be deemed to have assumed obligations as if such assignee had originally executed this Lease and at Landlord's request shall execute promptly a document confirming such assumption. Each sublease is subject to the condition that if the Term is terminated or Landlord succeeds to Tenant's interest in the Premises by voluntary surrender or otherwise, at Landlord's sole option the subtenant shall be bound to Landlord for the balance of the term of such sublease and shall attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under the then executory terms of such sublease or, at Landlord's sole option, the subtenant shall execute a direct lease with Landlord on the terms and conditions of such applicable sublease.

8.6Affiliate Transfer. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII to the contrary, provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, Tenant may, upon at least twenty (20) days prior written notice to Landlord but without Landlord's prior written consent and without being subject to Landlord's rights and Tenant's obligations set forth in Sections 8.3 and 8.4, assign or transfer its entire interest in this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises to a Permitted Transferee. The term "Permitted Transferee", when used herein shall mean: (a) a corporation or other business entity into or with which Tenant shall be merged, reorganized or consolidated, or to which substantially all of the assets of Tenant may be transferred, or (b) a corporation or other business entity which shall control, be controlled by or be under common control with Tenant, provided that any Permitted Transferee shall assume in writing all of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease. For purposes of clause (b) herein, "control" shall be deemed to be ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the stock or other voting interest of the controlled corporation or other business entity. In the event of any assignment or subletting pursuant to this Section 8.6, Tenant shall remain fully liable as a primary obligor for the payment of all rent and other charges required hereunder and for the performance of all obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Together with Tenant's notice to Landlord pursuant to this Section, Tenant shall submit to Landlord sufficient information regarding the transaction as is reasonably necessary for Landlord to confirm that the transaction meets the qualifications set forth in this Section.

ARTICLE IX

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

9.1Tenant Maintenance. Except as otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall promptly make all repairs, perform all maintenance, and make all replacements in and to the Premises that are necessary or desirable to keep the Premises in as good a condition and repair as the condition existing on the Commencement Date, normal wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted, in a clean, safe and tenantable condition, and otherwise in accordance with all Laws and the requirements of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, if a Law is enacted after the date hereof that requires alterations to the Premises but does not specifically relate to the use, density or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, any such alteration shall be made by Landlord and shall be deemed an Operating Expense under this Lease. Tenant shall maintain all fixtures, furnishings and equipment located in, or exclusively serving the Premises, excluding Building Structure and Systems, in clean, safe and sanitary condition, shall take good care thereof and make all required repairs and replacements thereto. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice of any defects or damage to the structure of, or Landlord's equipment or fixtures in, the Premises or any part thereof. Tenant shall suffer no waste or injury to any part of the Premises, and shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, surrender the Premises in an order and condition equal to or better than their order and condition on the Commencement Date, except for ordinary wear and tear and as otherwise provided in Article XVIII. Except as otherwise provided in Article XVIII and XVIX, all injury, breakage and damage to the Premises and to any other part of the Building or the Project caused by any act or omission of any Invitee or Tenant, shall be repaired by and at Tenant's expense, except that upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right at Landlord's option to make any such repair and to charge Tenant for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Landlord shall provide and install replacement tubes for Building and Premises standard fluorescent light fixtures and maintain and service the ballasts for such fixtures and shall maintain and service individual HVAC units including without limitation, HVAC drive motors, valves, pipes and fan coils, within each office and other area of the Premises without additional charge to Tenant, provided the cost thereof shall be an Operating Expense.

9.2Landlord Maintenance. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord shall keep the exterior and demising walls, and floors, load bearing elements, foundations, roof and common areas, including the Parking Garage, that form a part of the Project, the mechanical, electrical, HVAC and plumbing systems, pipes and conduits that are provided by Landlord in the operation of the Building, and restrooms and elevators located within the Premises (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Building Structure and Systems"), clean and in good operating condition and, promptly after becoming aware of any item needing repair, will make repairs and replacements thereto. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary: (a) maintenance and repair of special tenant areas, facilities, finishes and equipment (including, but not limited to, any special fire protection equipment, telecommunications and computer equipment, kitchen/galley equipment, air-conditioning equipment serving the Premises only and all other furniture, furnishings and equipment of Tenant and all Alterations) shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and shall be deemed not to be a part of the Building Structure and Systems; and (b) Landlord shall have no obligation to make any repairs brought about by any negligent or wrongful act or neglect of Tenant or any Invitee.

ARTICLE X

CONDITION OF PREMISES

10.1 Condition. Tenant acknowledges that it is currently occupying part of the Premises under the Old Lease (said part of the Premises is hereinafter referred to as the "Existing Premises"). To the extent that the Premises includes the Existing Premises, the Landlord shall deliver same to Tenant in its "as-is" condition as of the Commencement Date. The Overlandlord shall deliver the portions of the premises not included within the Existing Premises (said portions are hereinafter referred to as the "New Stuff") in the condition that exists as of the date hereof, ordinary wear and tear excepted, provided however that should Tenant take possession of any portion of the New Stuff under an agreement with Union Carbide Corporation, prior to the Commencement Date, the Tenant shall accept possession of such portions of the New Stuff in an "as-is" condition as of such prior date and Tenant shall have surrendered the same to Union Carbide Corporation in compliance with the Old Lease, and, further, Union Carbide Corporation shall have surrendered the same to Overlandlord in compliance with the Prime Lease. The Tenant's taking possession of the Premises shall be deemed to be Tenant's acceptance of the Premises in the order and condition as then exists. Overlandlord agrees to deliver and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Premises in an "as is" condition. Overlandlord is under no obligation to make any structural or other alterations, decorations, additions, improvements or other changes (hereinafter referred to as the "Alterations") in or to the Premises, the Building or the Project, provided however the Premises shall be in a tenantable condition as required under the Old Lease. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS INSPECTED THE PREMISES, THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE, NEITHER OVERLANDLORD NOR ANY PARTY ACTING ON BEHALF OF OVERLANDLORD HAS MADE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION CONCERNING THE PREMISES AND TENANT IS LEASING THE PREMISES IN AN "AS-IS" CONDITION. Consistent with the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that, subsequent to the date hereof Tenant and Union Carbide Corporation may enter into an agreement to provide for Tenant's proposed relocation within the Complex to space that will constitute New Stuff (namely, Sections K 3, L 3, M 3 and M 4) in its then "as is" condition, such relocation to be accomplished prior to the termination of the Old Lease. The parties acknowledge further that the form of such agreement is currently intended to be an Omnibus Amendment that will constitute a Seventh (7th) Amendment to the Old Lease as well as an amendment to other relevant legal documents. Overlandlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to such intended Omnibus Amendment upon being furnished with a fully executed copy thereof, provided, however, that neither such document nor such consent shall be deemed to either increase or decrease the rights and obligations of the parties under the Old Lease.

10.2Allowance. Provided that an Event of Default is not then existing Overlandlord agrees to pay to Tenant an amount equal to Four Million Five Hundred Sixty Eight Thousand Two Hundred Twenty Five Dollars and No Cents ($4,568,225.00) (hereinafter referred to as the "Landlord's Contribution") on or before December 31, 2007 as an inducement to enter into this Amendment; provided further that if Tenant shall not have received Landlord's Contribution on or before December 31, 2007, and so long as an Event of Default is not then existing, then upon five (5) days notice to Overlandlord, Tenant may setoff the amount of the Landlord's Contribution against the Rent next due hereunder. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, an Event of Default shall not include a default of the Tenant which does not involve the payment of rent due hereunder or which is not a Material Default. In the event of such an Event of Default which is not a Material Default, the Overlandlord may withhold payment of a portion of the Landlord's Contribution in an amount reasonably determined by Overlandlord to be sufficient to cure such Event of Default (provided that Overlandlord shall not be obligated to utilize such funds to cure same) until Tenant has cured such Event of Default and Tenant's right of setoff contained in this Section 10.2 shall not be applicable to the amount so withheld until such Event of Default is cured. The term "Material Default" when used in this Section 10.2 shall mean a non-monetary default of the Tenant determined by Overlandlord in its good faith judgement to require an expenditure to cure such default which exceeds Ten Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($10,000.00).

ARTICLE XI

ALTERATIONS

11.1Tenant Alterations. Tenant shall not make or permit anyone to make any Alterations in or to the Premises or the Building, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or granted in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion with respect to any and all structural Alterations, Alterations which require a building permit and to those non-structural Alterations which are visible from the exterior of the Premises, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to all other non-structural Alterations, provided however that Tenant may, in compliance with the provisions of this Lease make decorations and improvements strictly cosmetic in nature, which do not require a building permit and which do not effect the Building Structure and Systems without the consent of Landlord, but shall provide Landlord prior written notice of same. Structural Alterations shall be deemed to consist of any Alterations that will necessitate any changes, replacements or additions to the walls, ceilings, partitions, columns or floor, or to the water, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, fire/ life safety, or HVAC systems, of the Premises or the Building. Any Alterations made by Tenant shall be made: (a) in a good, workmanlike, first-class and prompt manner; (b) using new materials only; (c) by a contractor, on days, at times and under the supervision of an architect approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (d) in accordance with plans and specifications prepared by an engineer or architect, which, in all instances shall be approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (e) in accordance with all Laws and the requirements of any insurance company insuring the Project or any portion thereof; and (f) after obtaining public liability, builder's risk and worker's compensation insurance policies in such limits as reasonably required by Landlord, which policies shall cover every person who will perform any work with respect to such Alteration and shall meet the requirements set forth in Section 14.2 hereof. If any lien (or a petition to establish such lien) is filed in connection with any Alteration, such lien (or petition) shall be discharged by Tenant within ten (10) days thereafter, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, by the payment thereof or by the filing of a bond acceptable to Landlord. If Landlord gives its consent to the making of any Alteration made by Tenant, such consent shall not: (i) be deemed to be an agreement or consent by Landlord to subject its interest in the Premises or the Project to any liens which may be filed in connection therewith; or (ii) constitute either Landlord's assumption, in whole or in part, of Tenant's responsibility for compliance with any applicable Laws, or representation or confirmation by Landlord that such Alterations comply with the provisions of such Laws. All Alterations made by Tenant (including, without limitation, those involving structural, electrical, mechanical or plumbing work, fire and life safety systems, the roof of the Building, the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system of the Premises or the Building, and the roof of the Building) shall, be performed by contractors or subcontractor chosen by Tenant under contracts approved by Landlord at Tenant's expense, provided however any such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs of review, coordination and supervision in connection with any Alteration made by Tenant. Promptly after the completion of an Alteration made by Tenant, Tenant at its expense shall deliver to Landlord three (3) sets of accurate as-built drawings showing such Alteration in place.

11.2Removal. If any Alterations are made without the prior written consent of Landlord, Landlord shall have the right upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant and at Tenant's reasonable expense to remove and correct such Alterations and restore the Premises and the Building to their condition immediately prior thereto, or to require Tenant to do the same. All Alterations to the Premises or the Building (except any fixtures or equipment of Tenant) made by either party shall immediately become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term; provided, however, that (a) if no Event of Default shall then exist, then Tenant shall have the right to remove, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, all movable fixtures, furniture, furnishings and equipment installed in the Premises solely at the expense of Tenant, and (b) Tenant shall remove all Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant and other items in the Premises and the Building which Landlord designates in writing for removal. Movable furniture, furnishings, equipment and trade fixtures shall be deemed to exclude without limitation any item the removal of which might cause material damage to the Premises or the Building. Landlord shall have the right upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant and at Tenant's reasonable expense to repair all damage and injury to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal or to require Tenant to do the same. If such fixtures, furniture, furnishings and equipment are not removed by Tenant prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the same shall at Landlord's option become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant and at Tenant's expense to remove from the Premises such fixtures, furniture, furnishings and equipment and any Alteration made by or on behalf of Tenant which Landlord designates in writing for removal or to require Tenant to do the same.

ARTICLE XII

SIGNS

Such automobile liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident. Such worker's compensation insurance shall carry minimum limits as defined by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Building is located (as the same may be amended from time to time).

Tenant shall deliver a certificate on ACORD Form 27 or similar form acceptable to Landlord which creates a direct obligation from the issuing company to Landlord, of all such insurance to Landlord concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease and at least annually thereafter. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice in case of fire, theft or accident in the Premises, and in the case of fire damaging the Building or theft or significant accident in the Building if involving Tenant, its agents, employees or Invitees.

Landlord agrees to carry and maintain all-risk property insurance (with replacement cost coverage) covering the Building and Landlord's property therein in an amount required by its insurance company to avoid the application of any coinsurance provision.

Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default": (a) Tenant's failure to make any payment of the Base Rent or additional rent or other sum within five (5) days after notice to Tenant that same is due, provided however if two (2) or more five (5) day notices under this Section 20.1, are given in any twelve (12) month period, an Event of Default shall be deemed to occur upon any failure to make any payment of Base Rent or additional Rent or other sum when due, without the requirement of any notice from Landlord; (b) Tenant's failure to perform or observe any covenant or condition of this Lease not otherwise specifically described in this Section 20.1 which continues for twenty (20) days after Landlord delivers written notice thereof to Tenant, or such longer period as is appropriate provided that Tenant commence such cure within said twenty (20) days and diligently and continuously prosecute same; provided, however, that such cure period shall not be applicable if, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, such failure raises a life/safety issue with respect to the Building or its occupants or visitors, including but not limited to, a threat of personal injury or continuing physical injury to the Building or any portion of the Project, or if such failure is adversely affecting another tenant's use or occupancy of the Building or its premises; (c) Tenant's abandonment of the Premises; (d) an Event of Bankruptcy as specified in Article XXI; (e) Tenant's dissolution or liquidation; (f) any Environmental Default as specified in Section 7.3; or (g) any subletting, assignment, transfer, mortgage or other encumbrance of the Premises or this Lease not permitted by Article VIII.

20.2Remedy. If there shall be an Event of Default, then the provisions of this Section shall apply. Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, to terminate this Lease. In addition, with or without terminating this Lease, Landlord may re-enter, terminate Tenant's right of possession and take possession of the Premises. The provisions of this Article shall operate as a notice to quit, and Tenant hereby waives any other notice to quit or notice of Landlord's intention to re-enter the Premises or terminate this Lease except as specifically required herein. If necessary, Landlord may proceed to recover possession of the Premises under applicable Laws, or by such other proceedings, including re-entry and possession, as may be applicable. Upon an Event of Default, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and/or to terminate Tenant's right of possession upon five (5) days notice to Tenant, whereupon everything contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord to be done and performed shall cease without prejudice, however, to Tenant's liability for all Base Rent, additional rent and other sums specified herein. Whether or not this Lease and/or Tenant's right of possession is terminated, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole option, to terminate any renewal or expansion right contained in this Lease and to grant or withhold any consent or approval pursuant to this Lease in its sole and absolute discretion. Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof, alone or together with other premises, for such term(s) (which may extend beyond the date on which the Term would have expired but for Tenant's default) and on such terms and conditions (which may include any concessions or allowances granted by Landlord) as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine, but Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished by reason of, any failure by Landlord to relet all or any portion of the Premises or to collect any rent due upon such reletting. Whether or not this Lease and/or Tenant's right of possession is terminated or any suit is instituted, Tenant shall be liable for any Base Rent, additional rent, any damages herein specified, direct damages and other sums which may be due or sustained prior to such Event of Default, and for all reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, brokerage fees, reasonable expenses incurred in enforcing any of Tenant's obligations under the Lease or in placing the Premises in first-class rentable condition, advertising expenses, and any concessions or allowances granted by Landlord) incurred by Landlord in pursuit of its remedies hereunder and/or in recovering possession of the Premises and renting the Premises to others from time to time plus other direct actual damages suffered or incurred by Landlord on account of Tenant's default (including, but not limited to late fees or other charges incurred by Landlord under any Mortgage). Tenant also shall be liable for additional damages which at Landlord's election shall be either one or a combination of the following: (a) an amount equal to the Base Rent, and additional rent due or which would have become due from the date of the applicable Event of Default through the remainder of the Term, less the amount of rental, if any, which Landlord receives during such period from others to whom the Premises may be rented (other than any additional rent received by Landlord as a result of any failure of such other person to perform any of its obligations to Landlord), which amount shall be computed and payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month following the applicable Event of Default and continuing until the date on which the Term would have expired but for such Event of Default, it being understood that separate suits may be brought from time to time to collect any such damages for any month(s) (and any such separate suit shall not in any manner prejudice the right of Landlord to collect any damages for any subsequent month(s)), or Landlord may defer initiating any such suit until after the expiration of the Term (in which event such deferral shall not be construed as a waiver of Landlord's rights as set forth herein and Landlord's cause of action shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Term), and it being further understood that if Landlord elects to bring suits from time to time prior to reletting the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to its full damages through the date of the award of damages without regard to any Base Rent, additional rent or other sums that are or may be projected to be received by Landlord upon reletting of the Premises; or (b) an amount equal to the sum of (i) all Base Rent, additional rent and other sums due or which would be due and payable under this Lease as of the date of Tenant's default through the end of the scheduled Term, plus (ii) the all expenses (including broker and reasonable attorneys' fees) and value of all vacancy periods projected by Landlord to be incurred in connection with the reletting of the Premises, minus (iii) any Base Rent, additional rent and other sums which Tenant proves by a preponderance of the evidence would be received by Landlord upon reletting of the Premises from the end of the vacancy period projected by Landlord through the expiration of the scheduled Term. Such amount shall be discounted using a discount factor equal to the yield of the Treasury Note or Bill, as appropriate, having a maturity period approximately commensurate to the remainder of the Term, and such resulting amount shall be payable to Landlord in a lump sum on demand, it being understood that upon payment of such liquidated and agreed final damages, Tenant shall be released from further liability under this Lease with respect to the period after the date of such payment, and that Landlord may bring suit to collect any such damages at any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred. In the event Landlord relets the Premises together with other premises or for a term extending beyond the scheduled expiration of the Term, it is understood that Tenant will not be entitled to apply any base rent, additional rent or other sums generated or projected to be generated by either such other premises or in the period extending beyond the scheduled expiration of the Term (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Extra Rent") against Landlord's damages. Similarly in proving the amount that would be received by Landlord upon a reletting of the Premises as set forth in clause (iii) above, Tenant shall not take into account the Extra Rent. The provisions contained in this Section shall be in addition to, and shall not prevent the enforcement of, any claim Landlord may have against Tenant for anticipatory breach of this Lease. Nothing herein shall be construed to affect or prejudice Landlord's right to prove, and claim in full, unpaid rent accrued prior to termination of this Lease. If Landlord is entitled, or Tenant is required, pursuant to any provision hereof to take any action upon the termination of the Term, then Landlord shall be entitled, and Tenant shall be required, to take such action also upon the termination of Tenant's right of possession. In the event of a breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under the Lease, Landlord shall also have the right of injunction. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary the rights granted to Landlord pursuant to this Section 20.2 shall cease with respect to any particular Event of Default upon the specific written waiver of Landlord of any such particular Event of Default or on the cure of such Event of Default under the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding the forgoing to the contrary, except for the costs, fees and expenses and damages set forth above, Tenant shall not be liable for consequential, indirect or punitive damages of any kind, regardless of the legal theory upon which such claim may be based.

20.3Waiver and Exercise of Remedies.

(a)Tenant on behalf of itself and all persons claiming under Tenant, including but not limited to its creditors, hereby expressly waives, for itself and all persons claiming by, through or under it, any right of redemption, repossession, re-entry or restoration of the operation of this Lease under any present or future Law, including without limitation any such right which Tenant would otherwise have in case Tenant shall be dispossessed for any cause, or in case Landlord shall obtain possession of the Premises as herein provided.

(b)All rights and remedies of Landlord set forth in this Lease are cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, including those available as a result of any anticipatory breach of this Lease. The exercise by Landlord of any such right or remedy shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. No delay or failure by Landlord to exercise or enforce any of Landlord's rights or remedies or Tenant's obligations shall constitute a waiver of any such rights, remedies or obligations. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall not be deemed to have waived any default by the other party unless such waiver expressly is set forth in a written instrument signed by such party. If Landlord waives in writing any default by Tenant, such waiver shall not be construed as a waiver of any covenant, condition or agreement set forth in this Lease except as to the specific circumstances described in such written waiver.

20.4Proceedings. If Landlord shall institute proceedings against Tenant and a compromise or settlement thereof shall be made, then the same shall not constitute a future waiver of the same or of any other covenant, condition or agreement set forth herein, nor of any of Landlord's rights hereunder. Neither the payment by Tenant of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Base Rent, additional rent or of any sums due hereunder nor any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a check for payment of rent or other sums payable hereunder shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept the same without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rent or other sums or to pursue any other remedy. Notwithstanding any request or designation by Tenant, Landlord may apply any payment received from Tenant to any payment then due. No re-entry by Landlord, and no acceptance by Landlord of keys from Tenant, shall be considered an acceptance of a surrender of this Lease.

14

20.5Payment. If Tenant fails to do any act or make any payment to a third party herein required to be made or done by Tenant, then Landlord may, upon ten (10) days written notice to Tenant, but shall not be required to, make such payment or do such act. The taking of such action by Landlord shall not be considered a cure of such default by Tenant or prevent Landlord from pursuing any remedy it is otherwise entitled to in connection with such default. If Landlord elects to make such payment or do such act, then all expenses incurred by Landlord, plus interest thereon at a rate (hereinafter referred to as the "Default Rate") equal to five (5) whole percentage points higher than the Prime Rate, from the date incurred by Landlord to the date of payment thereof by Tenant, shall constitute additional rent due hereunder; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed as permitting Landlord to charge or receive interest in excess of the maximum rate then allowed by law.

20.6Interest. If Tenant fails to make any payment of Base Rent, additional rent or any other sum within five (5) days after the date such payment is due and payable, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge of One Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($1,000.00). In addition, such payment, if not so paid within five (5) days of the date due and such late fee shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such payment or late fee, respectively, became due to the date of payment thereof by Tenant; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed as permitting Landlord to charge or receive interest in excess of the maximum rate then allowed by law. Such late charge and interest shall constitute additional rent due hereunder without any notice or demand.

ARTICLE XXI

BANKRUPTCY

21.1Event of Bankruptcy. An "Event of Bankruptcy" is the occurrence with respect to any of Tenant, a guarantor or any other person liable for Tenant's obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, any general partner (or, if Tenant is a limited liability company, any member of Tenant) of Tenant (hereinafter referred to as a "General Partner")) of any of the following: (a) such person becoming insolvent, as that term is defined in Title 11 of the United States Code (hereinafter referred to as the "Bankruptcy Code") or under the insolvency laws of any state (hereinafter referred to as the "Insolvency Laws"); (b) appointment of a receiver or custodian for any property of such person, or the institution of a foreclosure or attachment action upon any property of such person; (c) filing by such person of a voluntary petition under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws; and (d) filing of an involuntary petition against such person as the subject debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws, which either (1) is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after filing, or (2) results in the issuance of an order for relief against the debtor. At any time upon not less than five (5) days' prior written notice, Tenant shall submit such information concerning the financial condition of any such person as Landlord may request. Tenant warrants that all such information heretofore and hereafter submitted is and shall be correct and complete.

21.2Bankruptcy Occurrence. Upon occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy, Landlord shall have all rights and remedies available pursuant to Article XX; provided, however, that while a case (hereinafter referred to as the "Case") in which Tenant is the subject debtor under the Bankruptcy Code is pending, Landlord's right to terminate this Lease shall be subject, to the extent required by the Bankruptcy Code, to any rights of Tenant or its trustee in bankruptcy (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Trustee") to assume or assume and assign this Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. After the commencement of the Case: (i) Trustee shall perform all post-petition obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and (ii) if Landlord is entitled to damages (including, without limitation, unpaid rent) pursuant to the terms of this Lease, then all such damages shall be entitled to administrative expense priority as specified in the Bankruptcy Code. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of assignment, and any such assignee shall upon request execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption. Trustee shall not have the right to assume or assume and assign this Lease unless Trustee promptly (a) cures all defaults under this Lease, (b) compensates Landlord for damages incurred as a result of such defaults, (c) provides adequate assurance of future performance on the part of Trustee as debtor in possession or Trustee's assignee, and (d) complies with all other requirements of the Bankruptcy Code. If Trustee fails to assume or assume and assign this Lease in accordance with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code within sixty (60) days after the initiation of the Case, then Trustee shall be deemed to have rejected this Lease. If this Lease is rejected or deemed rejected, then Landlord shall have all rights and remedies available to it pursuant to Article XX.

ARTICLE XXII

SUBORDINATION

22.1Subordination. This Lease is subject and subordinate to the lien, provisions, operation and effect of all mortgages, deeds of trust, ground leases or other security instruments which currently encumbers any potion of the Project (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Mortgages"), to all funds and indebtedness intended to be secured thereby, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, recastings or refinancings thereof. Subject to the terms of this Article XXII, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lien, provisions, operation and effect of all Mortgages that may hereafter encumber the Project, to all funds and indebtedness intended to be secured thereby, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, recastings or refinancings thereof. The holder of any Mortgage to which this Lease is subordinate shall have the right (subject to any required approval of the holders of any superior Mortgage) at any time to declare this Lease to be superior to the lien, provisions, operation and effect of such Mortgage and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all reasonable documents required by such holder in confirmation thereof.

22.2Attornment. Tenant shall at Landlord's request within ten (10) business days of request, promptly execute any requisite or appropriate document confirming the foregoing subordination. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver any such certificate or other document within such ten (10) business day period, Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rent the sum of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) for each day after the tenth (10th) business day that Tenant has not executed and delivered such document. Tenant waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which may give or purport to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and Tenant's obligations hereunder in the event any foreclosure proceeding is prosecuted or completed or in the event the Building, the Project or Landlord's interest therein is transferred by foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. If this Lease is not extinguished upon any such transfer or by the transferee following such transfer, then, at the request of such transferee, Tenant shall attorn to such transferee and shall recognize such transferee as the landlord under this Lease. Tenant agrees that upon any such attornment, such transferee shall not be: (a) bound by any payment of the Base Rent or additional rent more than one (1) month in advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, but only to the extent such prepayments have been delivered to such transferee; (b) bound by any amendment of this Lease made without the consent of the holder of each Mortgage existing as of the date of such amendment; (c) liable for damages for any breach, act or omission of any prior landlord, except for the payment of the Landlord's Contribution and except for any breach of any prior landlord which continues after such transferee has acquired title to the Building, the Project or Landlord's interest therein; or (d) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord; provided, however, that after succeeding to Landlord's interest under this Lease, such transferee shall agree to perform in accordance with the terms of this Lease all obligations of Landlord arising after the date of transfer and provided further Tenant shall have received the Landlord's Contribution. Within five (5) days after the request of such transferee, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any requisite or appropriate document submitted to Tenant confirming such attornment. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, should the holder of any Mortgage desire that this Lease be subordinate to such Mortgage such holder shall enter into a Subordinaton, Attornment and Non-Disturbance Agreement, incorporating the above terms with respect to any attornment, and providing that said holder shall agree that provided an Event of Default is not in existence hereunder, said holder shall terminate this Lease nor disturb Tenant's use and possession of the Premises according to this Lease.

22.3Modifications. If any prospective or current holder of a Mortgage requires that modifications to this Lease be obtained, and provided that such modifications: (a) are reasonable and do not increase any obligations or restrictions upon Tenant; (b) do not adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises as herein permitted; and (c) do not increase the rent and other sums to be paid by Tenant, then Landlord may submit to Tenant a reasonable amendment to this Lease incorporating such required modifications, and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith and, subject to a suitable resolution of such negotiations, execute, acknowledge and deliver such amendment to Landlord within five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt thereof.

22.4Assignment of Rent. If: (i) the Project or any portion thereof is, at any time subject to a Mortgage; (ii) this Lease and rent payable hereunder is assigned to the holder of the Mortgage; and (iii) the Tenant is given written notice of such assignment, including the name and address of the assignee, then, in that event, Tenant shall not terminate this Lease or make any abatement in the rent payable hereunder for any default on the part of the Landlord without first giving notice, in the manner provided elsewhere in this Lease for the giving of notices, to the holder of such Mortgage, specifying the default in reasonable detail, and affording such holder a reasonable opportunity to make performance, at its election, for and on behalf of the Landlord, except that: (x) such holder shall have at least 30 days to cure the default; (y) if such default cannot be cured with reasonable diligence and continuity within 30 days, such holder shall have any additional time as may be reasonably necessary to cure the default with reasonable diligence and continuity; and (z) if the default cannot reasonably be cured without such holder having obtained possession of the Building, such holder shall have such additional time as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances to obtain possession of the Building and thereafter to cure the default with reasonable diligence and continuity. If more than one such holder makes a written request to Landlord to cure the default, the holder making the request whose lien is the most senior shall have such right.

ARTICLE XXIII

HOLDING OVER

23.1Holdover. Tenant acknowledges that if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises or any portion thereof at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then the value to Tenant of remaining in possession, and the loss that will be suffered by Landlord as a result thereof, may exceed the Base Rent and additional rent that would have been payable had the Term continued during such holdover period. Therefore, if Tenant (or anyone claiming through Tenant) does not immediately surrender the Premises or any portion thereof upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then, unless Landlord and Tenant have executed an amendment to this Lease specifically agreeing to such continued possession, Tenant shall automatically forfeit all rights to any security deposit then being held by Landlord pursuant to this Lease and the rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be increased to be: (i) one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the sum of Base Rent plus the additional rent and other sums that would have been payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease if the Term had continued during such holdover period during the first thirty (30) days of any such holdover; plus (ii) one hundred sixty percent (160%) of the sum of Base Rent plus the additional rent and other sums that would have been payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease if the Term had continued during such holdover period during the second thirty (30) days of any such holdover; plus (iii) two hundred percent (200%) of the sum of Base Rent plus the additional rent and other sums that would have been payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease if the Term had continued during such holdover period during the third thirty (30) days of any such holdover. Such rent shall be computed by Landlord and paid by Tenant on a monthly basis and shall be payable on the first day of such holdover period and the first day of each calendar month thereafter during such holdover period until the Premises have been vacated. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord's acceptance of such rent shall not in any manner adversely affect Landlord's other rights and remedies, including, but not limited to, Landlord's right to evict Tenant. Any such holdover shall be deemed to be a tenancy at sufferance and not a tenancy at will or tenancy from month to month. In no event shall any holdover be deemed a permitted extension or renewal of the Term, and nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute Landlord's consent to any holdover or to give Tenant any right with respect thereto.

ARTICLE XXIV

COVENANTS OF LANDLORD

24.1Authority. Landlord covenants that it, including its general partner, has the right to enter into this Lease, and that if Tenant shall perform timely all of its obligations hereunder, then, subject to the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall during the Term peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy the full possession of the Premises without hindrance by Landlord or any party claiming through or under Landlord.

Landlord reserves the following rights: (a) to change the street address and name of the Building; (b) to change the arrangement and location of entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the Project provided that in so doing Landlord shall not prevent or unreasonably interfere with Tenant's access to or possession or use of the Premises; (c) to change public parts of the Project, provided that in so doing Landlord shall not prevent or unreasonably interfere with Tenant's access to or possession or use of the Premises; (d) to erect, use and maintain pipes, wires, structural supports, ducts and conduits in and through the Premises, provided that in so doing Landlord shall not prevent or unreasonably interfere with Tenant's access to or possession or use of the Premises, and provided further same shall not disrupt or interfere with the business of Tenant therein; (e) to grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any particular business in the Project not inconsistent with Tenant's permitted use of the Premises; (f) to resubdivide the any portion of the Project or to combine any portion thereof with other lands, provided that in so doing Landlord shall not prevent or unreasonably interfere with Tenant's access to or possession or use of the Premises; (g) to exclusively use and/or lease the roof areas, the sidewalks and other exterior areas; (h) to reasonably relocate any parking areas designated for Tenant's use, provided that in so doing such designated areas shall remain reasonably adjacent to the Premises; (i) to prohibit smoking in the entire Project or portions thereof (including the Premises) and on the Land, so long as such prohibitions are in accordance with applicable law; and (j) if any excavation or other substructure work shall be made or authorized to be made upon land adjacent to the Building or the Project, to enter the Premises for the purpose of doing such work as is required to preserve the walls of the Building and to preserve the Project from injury or damage and to support such walls and land by proper foundations, provided that in so doing Landlord shall not prevent or unreasonably interfere with Tenant's access to or possession or use of the Premises; and (k) to construct improvements (including kiosks) within the Project and in the public and common areas of the Project. Landlord may exercise any or all of the foregoing rights without being deemed to be guilty of an eviction, actual or constructive, or a disturbance of Tenant's business or use or occupancy of the Premises, provided that Landlord shall use all commercially reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises.

PARKING

25.1Parking. During the Term hereof, Tenant shall have the right to use on a non-exclusive basis three (3) automobile parking spaces for each 1,000 rentable square feet of office area in the Premises in the Parking Garage at no additional charge for the parking of automobiles. Landlord reserves the right to revise the parking locations in the Parking Garage, provided that, except for temporary revisions due to repairs and maintenance, no such revisions shall diminish the number of parking spaces hereinabove required, nor cause parking locations to be generally more inconvenient or at a greater distance from the Premises. Tenant and its employees shall observe reasonable safety precautions in the use of the Parking Garage and shall at all times abide by all reasonable rules and regulations governing the use of the Parking Garage promulgated by Landlord. In the event that Landlord temporarily closes the Parking Garage or portions thereof during periods of unusually inclement weather or for repairs, Landlord shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to provide Tenant reasonably convenient access to the Premises and alternative parking. Landlord does not assume any responsibility, and shall not be held liable, for any damage or loss to any automobile or personal property in or about any parking areas, or for any injury sustained by any person in or about the parking areas. Tenant shall not be permitted go store automobiles in the Parking Garage for any extended period of time.

In addition to the foregoing, Landlord shall, upon Tenant's request and only during such times as Landlord determines that additional parking spaces are available within the Parking Garage and/or the parking garage at the north end of the Building, permit Tenant to use, without charge, additional automobile parking spaces as are from time to time designated by Landlord within the Parking Garage and/or the parking garage at the north end of the Building.

(a)The Tenant's rights hereunder shall not be applicable to any such First Refusal Space which becomes available for leasing during the last two (2) years of the Term or any Renewal Term.

If such right is not so exercised, Landlord may thereafter offer such Actual Refusal Space to third parties on the terms set forth in the Refusal Notice. If Landlord, within twelve (12) months after the date of the Refusal Notice, does not enter into a lease of such Actual Refusal Space under terms which are materially the same or more favorable to Landlord as those set forth in the applicable Refusal Notice and with a rental which is effectively ninety percent (90%) or more of the rental which was offered to Tenant in the applicable Refusal Notice, then Tenant's rights under this section to lease such Actual Refusal Space shall be in effect, and Landlord shall give the notice to Tenant required by this Article XXVIII.

(d)If Tenant has validly exercised its Right of First Refusal, then effective as of the applicable First Refusal Space Commencement Date, such Actual Refusal Space shall be included in the Premises, subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Lease except that:

(i) the rent per square foot of Rentable Area for such Actual Refusal Space shall be equal to the rental rate quoted by Landlord to Tenant in the Refusal Notice;

(ii) the Rentable Area of the Premises shall be increased by the Rentable Area of the Actual Refusal Space as set forth in the Refusal Notice, and the Tenant's Share shall be increased by a fraction equal to the Rentable Area of the Actual Refusal Space divided by the Rentable Area of the Building;

(iii) the term of the demise covering such Actual Refusal Space (hereinafter referred to as the "ROFR Term") shall commence on the last to occur    of:  (1)the applicable First Refusal Space Commencement Date designated in the Refusal Notice; and (2) the date Landlord delivers possession of the First Refusal Space  to Tenant, and shall expire on the date set forth in the Refusal Notice. Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the applicable First Refusal Space to Tenant on the First Refusal Space Commencement Date designated in the Refusal Notice; and

(iv) Landlord shall provide any tenant improvement allowance and any rent-free period to allow completion of tenant improvements, all as quoted by Landlord to Tenant in the Refusal Notice (the amount of such free rent plus the amount if any improvement allowance is hereinafter referred to as the "ROFR Money").

(e)Following exercise by Tenant of its Right of First Refusal, and within ten (10) days following written request by either Landlord or Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease confirming the terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the First Refusal Space as determined in accordance herewith.

ARTICLE XXIX

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that an Event of Default is existing at the time of the Termination Notice or at anytime thereafter prior to the Termination Date, then, at Landlord's sole option, the Termination Notice shall be deemed void and of no further force and effect. If Landlord elects to void Tenant's Termination Notice in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Landlord shall promptly return the Termination Payment to Tenant. If Tenant does not timely exercise its right of termination pursuant to this Section, then such right shall immediately lapse and be of no further force or effect.

(b)The Unamortized Landlord Contribution shall be; (i) the then-current balance of a hypothetical loan in the amount of the Landlord's Contribution made on the Commencement Date with interest to accrue from time to time on the outstanding principal balance of such loan at an annual rate equal to Two Percent (2%) in excess of the Prime Rate, from time to time in effect, compounded monthly, and with the loan to be fully amortized over a period of ten (10) years commencing on the Commencement Date; plus (ii) the then-current balance of a hypothetical loan or loans in the amount of the applicable ROFR Money made on the applicable commencement date the term of each demise covering such Actual Refusal Space with interest to accrue from time to time on the outstanding principal balance of such loan at an annual rate equal to Two Percent (2%) in excess of the Prime Rate, from time to time in effect, compounded monthly, and with the loan to be fully amortized over the ROFR Term.

        (c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if at any time after construction of a Casino is publically announced to be constructed within a one (1) mile radius of the Building, Tenant exercises an option resulting in the extension of the Term or expansion of the Premises herein contained, the provisions of this Article XXIX shall be null and void, and Tenant shall not be so permitted to terminate this Lease.
