Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to measure the Premises within sixty (60) days from the Effective Date using the same standards (i.e. add-on factors and other similar assumptions) as used by Landlord. Upon Landlord's verification of Tenant's measurement, the rental area of the Premises will be adjusted and rent shall be adjusted for the entire term of this Lease based on Tenant's measurement.

Use of the Common Building Facilities is subject to rules and regulations reasonably promulgated and generally applied to all tenants uniformly by the Landlord. The rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord shall not modify or amend or be inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease, nor shall such rules or regulations require the payment or expenditure of additional monies by Tenant. (e) The term "Boulder Towers" and "Building" means all of the land and improvements thereon included within the office projects known as the Boulder Towers, 1437 South Boulder Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma as described on Exhibit "A". The words "The Boulder Towers Complex" and "Complex" mean the Building, Common Building Facilities and any and all driveways, roadways, sidewalks, landscaped area and other facilities and amenities from time to time located within The Boulder Towers Complex which are all for the common use of all occupants and business visitors of The Boulder Towers. (f) Landlord is the owner of fee simple title to the Building and the Complex and the person executing this Lease on behalf of Landlord has the full authority to execute this Lease. ARTICLE TWO - TERM Section 2.01 Initial Term. This Lease is effective as of the date hereof. The initial term of this Lease (the "Initial Term") shall commence on the Term Commencement Date (as defined in Section 3.01 below) and shall terminate on midnight of last day of the seventy-second (72nd) month following the (i) the Term Commencement Date, if the Term Commencement Date occurs on the first day of a calendar month, or (ii) if not, the first day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month containing the Term Commencement Date (the "Expiration Date") or on such earlier date on which the term may expire or be terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or pursuant to law. Section 2.02 Renewal Term. (a) Provided Tenant is not then in default in any of its material obligations under this Lease after applicable notice and curative periods have expired, Tenant shall have the option to renew the term of this Lease as to all of the Premises for a one (1) five (5) year renewal term (the "Renewal Term"). Such option shall be exercised by written notice to Landlord given at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term. The Renewal Term shall be on the -2- same covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions as are contained herein for the Initial Term, except as expressly provided herein to the contrary and except for such as are, by their terms, inapplicable to a Renewal Term. Tenant shall have no further renewal options following the Renewal Term. The rent payable during the Renewal Term shall be as provided in Article 4 and the amount of the rent payable during the Renewal Term for Office Space shall be the Fair Market Value Rate for comparable buildings in the Tulsa area as provided in Exhibit "E" hereto; provided, however, such Fair Market Value Rate shall not in any event exceed $15.00 per rentable square foot per year. Additionally, in the event Tenant exercises its renewal option as set forth in this Paragraph 2.02, then upon the commencement of the Renewal Term, Landlord shall immediately pay Tenant an allowance of $344,055 to be used by Tenant for any purpose, including the reduction of Annual Rental or Additional Rental under this Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements in portions of the Premises, Landlord shall deliver such completed portions of the Premises (but only in Half Floor or Full Floor increments) to Tenant for Tenant to move furniture and equipment into such completed portions of the Premises. Prior to the Term Commencement Date Tenant shall not pay any Rent while moving or installing furniture and equipment in such completed portions of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if at any time prior to the Term Commencement Date, Tenant commences business operations from any completed portion of the Premises, then all terms and provisions of the Lease shall be in full force and effect and Tenant shall pay a proportionate share of the Rent for the use of such completed portion of the Premises; provided, however, that such commencement of business operations from any completed portion of the Premises shall not trigger the Term Commencement Date. If Tenant commences business operations from any portion of the Premises prior to the Term Commencement Date, then all other provisions of the Lease (except for the full payment of Rent [Tenant will only be paying a proportionate share of the Rent for the use of the portion of the Premises being used by Tenant] and the commencement of the Term Commencement Date) shall apply and be in full force and effect. -3- (b) Intentionally Deleted (c) Landlord hereby agrees to use good faith diligent efforts to Substantially Complete the Tenant Improvements on or before the Completion Date (defined below). If Landlord does not Substantially Complete the Tenant Improvements by the Completion Date, then Tenant, as Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy (except as otherwise set forth in the following sentence), shall be to receive from Landlord a rent credit equal to one (1) day of free Annual Rental for every one (1) day that the Tenant Improvements are not Substantially Completed following the Completion Date. Additionally, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord ten (10) days prior written notice in the event that Landlord fails to Substantially Complete the Tenant Improvements for the Premises within ninety (90) days following the Completion Date; provided, however, Tenant shall provide such prior written notice to Landlord prior to Landlord Substantially Completing the Tenant Improvements. The term "Completion Date" shall mean that date which is 200 days from the date of approval of the "Final Plans" (as defined in Exhibit "B") by both Tenant and Landlord; provided, however, the Completion Date shall be postponed one (1) day for each day of Tenant Delay and one (1) day for each day that one or more Force Majeure Events are experienced by Landlord and/or its contractors, subcontractors and employees. -4- (d) Notwithstanding anything in Paragraph 3.01(b) to the contrary, if Landlord does not Substantially Complete the Tenant Improvements on or before October 15, 2003 for any reason other than Tenant Delays, then Tenant shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to notify Landlord in writing on or before November 1, 2003, that Tenant will not move into the Premises during the last two (2) and one-half months of the calendar year 2003, and in such event, except for any portions of the Premises in which Tenant has commenced business operations, the Term Commencement Date shall be January 1, 2004 and Tenant shall not pay Rent for the Premises until January 1, 2004 (provided the Tenant Improvements are Substantially Completed prior to January 1, 2004). If Landlord does not Substantially Complete the Tenant Improvements on or before October 15, 2003 because of Tenant Delays, then Tenant shall not have the right to delay the Term Commencement Date and/or receive an abatement of Rent for the Premises until January 1, 2004, and in such event, the Term Commencement Date and the payment of Rent shall commence upon the delivery of the Premises to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements being Substantially Complete. (e) Intentionally Deleted (f) Intentionally Deleted. (g) Landlord shall have no obligation to do any demolition, construction or improvement work with respect to the Premises, except as provided in Exhibit "B". Landlord makes no express or implied warranties as to the current condition of the Premises (or any other space subsequently leased by Tenant) or its suitability for the conduct of Tenant's business, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease including Exhibit "F". ARTICLE FOUR - RENTAL Section 4.01 Annual Rental. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as rent, at the office of the Building or elsewhere as directed from time to time by Landlord's written notice to Tenant, a base rental (the "Annual Rental") in the amounts set forth on Exhibit "C". The Annual Rental shall be payable in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each and every -5- month of the Term of this Lease, the first such payment becoming due and payable on the Term Commencement Date as to the space leased by Tenant on the Term Commencement Date. Also, a prorated monthly installment shall be paid, if the Term Commencement Date is other than the first day of a month or if the Term of this Lease terminates on a day other than the last day of a month. Section 4.02 Additional Rental. (a) For calendar year 2004 and for each calendar year thereafter Tenant shall pay as additional rental (together with all sums other than Annual Rental payable by Tenant under this Lease), (the "Additional Rental") for each Operating Expense Year (as hereinafter defined) Tenant's Share (as hereinafter defined) of the increase, if any, in Operating Expenses as defined in Exhibit "D" hereto paid, or incurred by Landlord for the operation, repair and maintenance of the Building, Building Parking Garage, Common Building Facilities, and the Additional Parking Area in excess of the Operating Expense Base as hereinafter defined. As of the Effective Date of this Lease, the total rentable area of the leasable space within the Building is 518,185 square feet (exclusive of the Data Center Space); therefore, as of the effective date of this Lease, the initial Tenant's Share is 21.29%. Such Additional Rental shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as hereinafter provided. (b) The term "Operating Expense Year" shall mean the calendar year 2004. If a Term Commencement Date for space leased by Tenant occurs on a date other than January 1 or the Term of this Lease terminates or expires on a date other than December 31, the Additional Rental for the pertinent Operating Expense Year for such space shall be prorated based upon the number of days in such Operating Expense Year occurring after such Term Commencement Date or before the termination or expiration of the Term of this Lease, as applicable. (c) The term "Tenant's Share" shall mean that number, stated as a percentage above in Section 4.02(a). In the event of any change in the area of the Premises or the Building, Tenant's Share shall be adjusted to reflect such change or event on a prorated, daily basis, determined by dividing the number of rentable square feet in the Premises by the actual number of square feet of rentable area then leased in the Building. (d) The term "Operating Expense Base" shall mean the amount of Operating Expenses (as defined in Exhibit "D" hereto) for the calendar year 2003. On or before April 1, 2004, Landlord will submit a statement setting forth the computation of Operating Expenses for the calendar year 2003. (e) Landlord's "Operating Statement" shall mean a statement setting forth (1) the Operating Expenses for such Operating Expense Year, showing in detail the amount of each item included in Operating Expenses, (2) a detailed computation of any Additional Rental for such Operating Expense Year and (3) a reconciliation of the actual Additional Rental payable by Tenant for such year with the estimated Additional Rental paid by Tenant for such year. Each Operating Statement shall be furnished by Landlord to Tenant not later than April 1 of the calendar year following the Operating Expense Year to which such statement relates. -6- (f) Beginning with January 1, 2005, and for each calendar year thereafter during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant on or before April 1 of such year with a comparison of the projected Operating Expenses for the year and the Operating Expense Base and the projected Tenant's Share (subject to the five percent (5%) per year limitation set forth in Section 4.02(g) below) of any positive differences between them. Commencing on January 1 of each year, Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's Share of such positive difference each month during the year. If Tenant's Additional Rental for Operating Expenses reflected in the Operating Statement for any Operating Expense Year is greater than the amounts actually paid by Tenant for such Operating Expense Year, Tenant shall pay Landlord Tenant's Share of such difference within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Operating Statement for such Operating Expense Year. If Tenant's Additional Rental for Operating Expenses reflected in the Operating Statement for any Operating Expense Year is less than the amounts actually paid by Tenant for such Operating Expense Year, such difference shall be credited to Tenant's next payment(s) of Annual Rental, unless the Term has expired, in which event such difference shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Operating Statement. (g) As defined in Exhibit "D", Operating Expenses include taxes, utilities and insurance payable by Landlord with respect to The Boulder Towers Complex. In no event shall the dollar amount of Tenant's Share of increases in Operating Expenses during the Term of this Lease exceed the percentage of five percent (5%) per year over equivalent amount for the base amount established in 2003. The Operating Statement to be provided by Landlord for each Operating Expense Year shall separately set forth all Operating Expenses and then shall apply the five percent (5%) cap as set forth above, if applicable, and such sum shall be the Operating Expenses for such Operating Expense Year for the purposes of this Lease. In no event shall Tenant's Annual Rental be reduced, nor shall Landlord owe any amount to Tenant, if, for any reason, Operating Expenses for any Operating Expense Year are less than the Operating Expense Base. (h) Landlord shall permit Tenant, at any reasonable time after reasonable notice, to inspect and do a complete audit at Tenant's sole expense of all of the books of accounts and records of Landlord to the extent reasonably required to establish Operating Expenses. Tenant may not request such an audit more than once per calendar year. If Tenant shall ask for an audit to be made, and if Operating Expenses for any period shall be found to be overstated or understated, then Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of overpayment, or Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the underpayment (less Tenant's actual third party audit costs up to a maximum amount of $5,000), as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the rate specified in Section 8.02 (b) of this Lease, from the date of such overpayment or underpayment to the date the overpayment or underpayment is refunded or paid. Tenant's right to make such an audit with respect to any calendar year shall expire eighteen (18) months after Landlord's Operating Statement for the calendar year shall have been delivered to Tenant, and each such Operating Statement shall be final and binding on Tenant and shall, as between the parties, be conclusively deemed correct, at the end of such eighteen (18) months, unless prior thereto Tenant has served Landlord with a notice challenging the accuracy of same. In no event shall Tenant conduct an audit of Operating Expenses using an accountant or other third party who is being paid, compensated or reimbursed on a contingency fee basis. -7- (i) Additional Rental shall also include any other sums due Landlord from Tenant under the provisions of this Lease other than Annual Rental. (j) The term "Rent" shall mean Annual Rental and Additional Rental. Section 4.03 Real Estate Taxes, Assessed Valuation. (a) If Landlord fails to pay any real estate tax or assessment includable in Operating Expenses prior to the time that any penalty or interest may be charged, any penalty or interest levied shall not be included by Landlord in Operating Expenses for purposes of calculating Tenant's Additional Rental. (b) Landlord may petition for reduction of the assessed valuation of the Building and the land comprising the Boulder Towers Complex, claim a refund of real estate taxes or assessments or otherwise challenge the validity or applicability of any real estate tax, assessment or similar or related laws. Tenant shall receive its proportionate share of any refund of real estate taxes or assessments within 30 days from the date Landlord receives the same, or, in its sole discretion, Tenant may apply such refund against Annual Rental or Additional Rental under this Lease. ARTICLE FIVE - SERVICES Section 5.01 Standard of Operations. (a) Landlord shall at all times operate, repair and maintain the Building and the Building Parking Garage in a first class manner and in accordance with a standard at least as high as conducted and customarily followed in the operation and maintenance of office buildings similar to the Building and with similar tenants in the Tulsa area ("Comparable Buildings") and, without limiting the foregoing, shall provide the specific facilities, utilities and services set forth in this Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 5.01(a), Landlord shall, at a minimum, operate and maintain the Building and the Complex in the same manner as the Building is operated and maintained on the Effective Date. (b) The office space in the Building, other than the space occupied by Tenant, shall be leased only to tenants who are similar in character to those commonly found in Comparable Buildings. Ground floor retail space, if any, may be leased to commercial occupants of the following character: banks, restaurants, department stores, general office use, telephone switch sites, and retail merchants and other tenants commonly found in office and retail space in Comparable Buildings. Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) lease space in the Building to a first-class club facility. (c) Tenant shall be entitled to utilize the large conference room and the two smaller break-out rooms located on the ground floor of the Building for its periodic special business meetings. Tenants use of these facilities shall be free of any room charge. Tenant shall be responsible for all set-up and clean up required by Tenant's use. Tenant's rights shall be subject to availability and advance scheduling with Landlord and shall be exercised in common with Landlord and other tenants in the Building. Landlord may relocate or alter the meeting rooms; provided however that any altered or relocated meeting rooms shall contain substantially similar -8- seating capacities and finishes as the current meeting rooms. Subject to Landlord's prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Tenant shall have the right to install remote cameras in the elevator lobbies on those Full Floors of the Leased Premises. (d) Landlord shall at all times operate, maintain and repair the Additional Parking Areas in a first class manner and in accordance with standards at least as high as similar parking areas in Comparable Buildings. Landlord will install and maintain reasonable lighting in the Building Parking Garage and in the Additional Parking Areas with at least the same illumination as exist in similar parking areas in Comparable Buildings. (e) Landlord's failure to comply with its obligations in Section 5.01 (a) only shall be deemed an interruption of Building Services as set forth in Section 5.08(a) of this Lease, which shall entitle Tenant to all remedies expressly set forth in Section 5.08(a) of this Lease. Section 5.02 Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning. (a) Landlord shall provide a heating, ventilating and air conditioning system ("HVAC") meeting the requirements of Exhibit "F".

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not create within the Premises a working environment with a density greater than six (6) persons per 1,000 square feet of rentable area. For purposes of this Lease, holidays shall be indicated in writing by Landlord annually (the "Building Holiday Schedule") which shall not exceed nine (9) holidays a year unless consented to by Tenant. Tenant shall make arrangements for building services at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance if the Building is scheduled to be closed. (b) Landlord shall, upon 24 hours' advance notice from Tenant, furnish Tenant HVAC services at any time or times other than the Business Hours specified above in accordance with Exhibit "I" hereto.

Tenant shall bear any extra expense incurred by Landlord in furnishing such power from the Building's system or in expanding the Building's system, if necessary, to provide such electrical power, including the cost to Landlord of providing direct and separate metering if either Landlord or Tenant requests separate metering. Such expansion of the Building's system, if necessary, shall be subject to the approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord shall review Tenant's HVAC plans prior to construction of Tenant's interior improvements and notify Tenant prior to commencement of such construction if Landlord will charge Tenant for the installation and or use of any Special Systems. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of such charge prior to commencement of such construction, then -9- there shall be no charge to Tenant from Landlord for installation and/or use of the Special Systems. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to install at anytime up to 15 supplemental HVAC units (not to exceed 2 tons each) in conference rooms and offices in the Premises. Such supplemental units shall not be considered Special Systems and Tenant shall not bear any expense incurred by Landlord in furnishing power to such supplemental units.

If Tenant requests excess power for the Premises in excess of that necessary for general office use in the Premises, then Tenant shall be responsible for the actual costs incurred by Landlord in providing for such excess power, including the cost to Landlord of providing any separate metering, if necessary in Landlord's reasonable discretion. If separate meters are not used, the amounts chargeable to Tenant under the preceding provision shall be Landlord's average cost of electric power multiplied by Tenant's excess usage, as reasonably determined by Landlord's professional engineer and approved by Tenant's professional engineer. (b) Landlord will notify Tenant at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of any planned shut down of the electrical system for repairs or maintenance. Landlord will attempt to schedule such shut downs for weekends starting on Friday evenings. Any such shut downs shall not entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent during the scheduled shut down period; provided however, in the event that any such shutdown shall cause the Premises to be without electrical service during Business Hours for more than one (1) business day in any Lease Year then Rent shall abate until service is restored. Also, such planned shutdowns will not exceed four (4) per calendar year. Section 5.04 Elevators. (a) Landlord shall provide at least four (4) passenger elevators to serve the Premises during the Term of this Lease. The passenger elevators shall be available during all Business Hours, and, at all other times, there shall be at least one passenger elevator available to serve the Premises subject to events beyond Landlord's reasonable control and emergencies which may arise. In the event of such interruption, Landlord shall, as promptly as is practical under the circumstances, use its best efforts to cause such service to be reinstated.

Failure to provide said notice shall relieve Landlord of its obligation to provide a dedicated freight elevator. Section 5.05 Light Bulbs and Water. Landlord shall furnish and/or install as an Operating Expense all initial and replacement fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs and ballast in the Premises, Common Building Facilities and Building Parking Garage, provided that they are the Building's standard bulbs and ballasts. Tenant will comply with all of Landlord's reasonable standards for energy efficient lighting fixtures. Landlord shall review Tenant's lighting plans prior to construction of Tenant's leasehold improvements. Landlord shall notify Tenant prior to the commencement of such construction if any of Tenant's lighting is not Building standard. If Landlord fails to timely notify Tenant, then Tenant's lighting will be deemed to be Building standard. Landlord shall amortize the expense over the useful life of the fixtures as an Operating Expense. Subject to repairs and/or replacements, Landlord shall furnish water 24 hours for every day of the Term, including chilled and heated water, at those points of supply provided for general use of all tenants in the Building as required for lavatory and drinking purposes and such other uses as are permitted pursuant to Section 7.01.

(c) Tenant, at its expense and with the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may install such additional safety, access control and security systems or devices within or controlling access to the Premises (but not in any lobbies or other common areas on multi-tenant floors), including, without limitation, smoke detectors, electronic security devices and auxiliary emergency electric power supplies, as Tenant may deem reasonably appropriate. Tenant shall have the right by installation of a card or key system, to control access from all public elevators to floors wholly occupied by Tenant; provided that (i) Tenant's use of such system shall not interfere with Landlord's obligations to provide services or perform any work under this Lease, (ii) Tenant's use of such system does not -11- interrupt ingress and egress of other tenants on multi-tenant floors; and (iii) Landlord shall have reasonable access to the Premises in emergencies and provided that such system does not interfere with the proper operating of the elevator system or require the Landlord to incur additional costs to retrofit or maintain the elevators in order to accommodate such a system. (d) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may employ a licensed, armed security guard within the Premises ("Guard"). Tenant agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the Landlord, and its agents, representative, employees and contractors harmless from and against any and all actions, claims, demands, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses for the defense thereof, to the extent arising from the negligence and/or willful misconduct of the Guard.

All such Janitorial Services are to be performed during non-Business Hours. Tenant shall have the right to approve the company doing the Janitorial Services in the Premises, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to hire third parties to perform additional janitorial services within the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is at any time dissatisfied with the Janitorial Services for any reason whatsoever, then Tenant shall have the right to employ its own janitorial company to provide janitorial services to the Premises and in such event, Landlord shall deduct the cost of the Janitorial Services for the Premises from the Operating Expenses charged to Tenant (including a deduction of such costs included in the Operating Expense Base). Section 5.08 Interruption of Building Services. (a) If, for any reason within Landlord's reasonable control there is a failure to furnish the facilities, utilities or services specified in Sections 5.01(a), 5.02(a), (b) and (c), 5.03(a), 5.04(a) and (b), 5.05, and 5.06(a) (collectively the "Building Services"), and, after written notice thereof by Tenant to Landlord, Landlord does not remedy same within seven (7) days following delivery of such written notice Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default of its obligations to provide the Building Services, and Tenant shall have no remedy hereunder except as may be provided in Section 5.08(a-d) hereof, provided Landlord has commenced such cure within said seven (7) day period and thereafter continuously and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event Landlord has not remedied the same within thirty (30) days of Tenant's written notice, Tenant shall have the option to provide such Building Services for its own account until Landlord remedies the default and performs such obligations in accordance with this Lease, or, if the failure of Landlord to provide the Building Services materially and adversely affects Tenant's use of the Premises for thirty (30) consecutive days, then Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord given at any time prior to the full resumption of Building Services, terminate this Lease, and, upon giving such notice, this -12- Lease shall terminate and expire on the date set forth in such notice, which date shall not be more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, should the interruption of Building Services be caused by either (i) fire or other casualty or (ii) condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, then the provisions of Article 9 herein (in the event of a fire or other casualty) or Article 12 herein (in the event of a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding), shall prevail in determining Tenant's rights to abatement and termination and Tenant shall not have a right to an abatement or a right to terminate this Lease under this paragraph. (b) In addition to Tenant's self-help remedies described in subsection (a) above, if for any reason within Landlord's reasonable control there is a failure to furnish the Building Services required to be furnished by this Lease and such failure results in an imminent threat to persons, Tenant's property or Tenant's business, Tenant may, after providing Landlord with such notice and the first right to remedy such failure as is practical under the circumstances, provide for its own account such Building Services to the extent necessary to remove the threat to persons or property. (c) Any reasonable sums expended by Tenant in exercising its remedies described in Sections 5.08(a) or 5.08(b) above shall be reimbursed by Landlord within thirty (30) days of Tenant's invoice therefor together with invoices and paid receipts and other reasonable evidence of such costs. (d) If any impairment or cessation of Building Services pursuant to Section 5.08(a) or Section 5.08(b) adversely affects Tenant's use of part or all of the Premises for more than one (1) business day, Rent shall thereafter abate as to the portion of the Premises affected until such service is reinstated. (e) The remedies set forth in subsections (a)-(d) above shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedies for interruption of Building Services resulting from Landlord's negligent acts or omissions and failure to provide essential services for reasons within the control of Landlord. If an impairment or cessation of Building Services results from the failure of any utility company or other third party service provider to furnish such services, or other event beyond Landlord's reasonable control, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease and, except as provided below, Rent shall not abate, provided Landlord immediately notifies the service provider of such impairment or cessation and thereafter employs its best efforts to cause such services to be reinstated. If such impairment or cessation of Building Services resulting from the failure of any utility company or other third party service provider to furnish such services or other events beyond Landlord's reasonable control adversely affects part or all of the Premises for the normal conduct of Tenant's business for more than three (3) consecutive business days, Rent shall thereafter abate as to the portion of the Premises adversely affected until such Building Service is fully reinstated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such interruption of Building Services which results from the failure of any utility company or other third party service provider to furnish such services or other events beyond Landlord's reasonable control materially and adversely affects the Premises for the normal conduct of Tenant's business for thirty (30) consecutive days from the commencement of the Rent abatement period, Tenant may at any time after such thirty (30) consecutive days, but during the Rent abatement period, terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord which -13- notice shall specify the effective date of termination which date shall not be more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Tenant's notice of termination. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, should the interruption of facilities, utilities or services be caused by either (i) fire or other casualty or (ii) a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, then the provisions of Article 9 herein (in the event of a fire or other casualty), or Article 12 herein (in the event of a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding), shall prevail in determining Tenant's rights to abatement and termination and Tenant shall not have a right to an abatement or a right to terminate this Lease under this paragraph. Section 5.09 Personnel. Landlord shall employ and/or contract with persons of sufficient number and experience to maintain the Building and Common Building Facilities and to perform the services which Landlord is required to perform under this Lease.

(i) Workers' Compensation Insurance as required by laws and regulations applicable to and covering employees of Tenant; (ii) Employers' Liability Insurance protecting Tenant against common law liability in the absence of statutory liability, for employee bodily injury arising out of the master-servant relationship with a limit of not less than $1,000,000; (iii) Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits of not less than $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 in the aggregate, (iv) Automobile Liability Insurance including non-owned and hired vehicle coverage with limits of liability of not less than $500,000; (v) Excess Liability Insurance over Automobile Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Employers' Liability coverage afforded by the primary policies described above with minimum limits of $4,000,000 in excess of specified limits; (vi) All-Risk Property Insurance for the replacement value of the leasehold improvements in the Premises, including Tenant's initial tenant improvements as set forth on Exhibit "B" and all other additions, alterations and/or installations made by Tenant in the Premises and for all contents and all personal property of Tenant in the Premises. (b) The Commercial General Liability Insurance and Excess Liability Insurance required by the above shall cover the contractual liability (to the extent available under such policies) assumed under the provisions set forth in this Lease. -14- (c) Prior to commencement of the Lease and upon the written request of Landlord, a certificate evidencing the required coverage shall be delivered to Landlord. If commercially available, the Workers' Compensation policy shall be endorsed to provide waiver of subrogation rights in favor of Landlord and all partners, agents and affiliates. Such insurance may be carried under a blanket policy covering the Premises and other locations of Tenant. Landlord and its designated property management firm shall be named as an additional insured on the liability coverages described in Section 5.10 (ii)-(v) for those liabilities expressly assumed within the Premises by Tenant under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's additional insured status shall be limited to (i) property damage incurred within the Premises only and personal injury or death occurring with the Premises only, and (ii) the limits of insurance required to be carried under Section 5.10(ii)-(v). (d) Tenant agrees to comply with all material terms of the insurance contracts referenced in this section. Failure of Tenant to keep the required insurance policies in full force and effect during the term of this Lease and during any extensions, shall constitute a breach of this Lease. In such event, Landlord will provide Tenant written notice of such failure to keep required insurance policies. In the event Tenant has not cured such failure within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice, then Landlord shall have the right, in addition to any other rights, upon ten (10) days notice, to provide such insurance for Tenant and to include such insurance costs in the next installment of Annual Rental. Nothing contained in these provisions relating to coverage and amounts set out herein shall operate as a limitation of tenant's liability in tort or contract under the terms of this Lease. (e) Tenant shall have the right to Self-Insure for the insurance required in this Paragraph 5.10, subject to and in accordance with the following terms and conditions: (1) (A) "Self-insure" shall mean that Tenant is itself acting as though it were the insurance company providing the insurance required under the provisions hereof and Tenant shall pay any amounts due in lieu of insurance proceeds which would have been payable if the insurance policies had been carried, which amounts shall be treated as insurance proceeds for all purposes under this lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing with regard to the insurance required by Section 5.10(a) of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to maintain such deductibles and/or self insured retentions as are included from time to time in Tenant's insurance policies covering Tenant's businesses and such deductibles and/or self insured retentions shall not be considered self-insurance for the purpose of this subsection 5.10(e). (B) All amounts which Tenant pays or is required to pay and all loss of damages resulting from risks for which Tenant has elected to self-insure shall be subject to the waiver of subrogation provisions of Paragraph 9.02 hereof and shall not limit Tenant's indemnification obligations set forth in this Lease. (C) Tenant's right to self-insure and to continue to self-insure is conditioned upon and subject to: -15- (I) Tenant now having and hereafter maintaining a tangible net worth of at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00). (D) In the event Tenant fails to fulfill the requirements of (C) above, then Tenant shall immediately lose the right to self-insure and shall be required to provide the insurance specified in this Paragraph 5.10, provided, however that Tenant's self-insurance shall continue in full force and effect until the insurance specified in Paragraph 5.10 is issued by a qualifying insurance company. (E) In the event that Tenant elects to self-insure and an event or claim occurs for which a defense and/or coverage would have been available from the insurance company, then Tenant shall: (I) undertake the defense of any such claim, including a defense of Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense; and (II) use its own funds to pay any claim or replace any property or otherwise provide the funding which would have been available from insurance proceeds but for such election by Tenant to self-insure. (2) If Tenant elects to self-insure, it shall provide Landlord with a letter to that effect, and Landlord shall acknowledge, in writing, Tenant's election to self-insure. In the event of a casualty loss or other event for which Tenant is otherwise liable under this Lease that would have been covered by the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall make funds available in the same manner as an insurance carrier would have made such funds available to the extent required by the terms of this Lease. Section 5.11 Landlord's Insurance. (a) Landlord shall as an Operating Expense maintain at all times during the Term of this Lease the insurance coverage set forth below with companies reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and with a Best rating of at least A/XII.

(b) The Commercial General Liability Insurance and Excess Liability Insurance required by the above shall cover the contractual liability of Landlord (to the extent available under such policies) assumed under the provisions set forth in this Lease. (c) Tenant shall be named as an additional insured on the liability coverages described in Section 5.11(a)(ii)-(v); provided, however, Tenant's additional insured status shall not extend to property damage or personal injury or death occurring within the Premises. Prior to commencement of the Lease, a certificate evidencing the required coverage shall be delivered to Tenant naming Tenant as additional insured as aforesaid. This certificate shall provide that any change restricting or reducing coverage or the cancellation of any policies under which certificates are issued shall not be valid as respects Tenant's interest therein until Tenant has received thirty (30) days' written notice of such change or cancellation. Further, such insurance policies shall provide primary coverage to Tenant and shall not be concurrent or in excess over other valid insurance which may be available to Tenant. If commercially available, the Workers' Compensation policy shall be endorsed to provide waiver of subrogation rights in favor of Tenant and all agents and affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees. Such insurance may be carried under a blanket policy covering the Premises and other locations of Landlord, provided that amount of insurance coverage required to be carried by Landlord in this Lease is not reduced by payments under the blanket policy for other locations. (d) Landlord agrees to comply with all terms of the insurance contracts referenced in this section. Failure of Landlord to keep the required insurance policies in full force and effect during the Term of this Lease and during any extensions, shall constitute a breach of this Lease and Tenant shall have the right, in addition to any other rights, upon ten (10) days notice, to cancel and terminate this Lease without further cost to Tenant. Nothing contained in these provisions relating to coverage and amounts set out herein shall operate as limitation of Landlord's liability in tort or contract under the terms of this Lease. -17- ARTICLE SIX - TENANT'S PARKING Section 6.01 Tenant's Parking. (a) At all times during the Term Landlord, at its expense, will provide Tenant with free parking spaces in an amount equal to 256 spaces, fifty-five (55) of which shall be reserved covered parking located in the Building Parking Garage and specifically identified on Exhibit "J", and the remaining 201 parking spaces shall be located on surface lots numbered 1 through 15 on Exhibit "K". Landlord shall clearly mark (using Tenant's name) each of the 55 spaces within the Building Parking Garage as reserved for Tenant. There shall be no charge for such parking spaces. In the event the rentable square footage of Tenant's Premises is increased or decreased, the parking for Tenant shall be proportionally adjusted. Tenant shall have no claim on any additional parking not expressly assigned to it in this paragraph. Both the Building Parking Garage and at least 201 parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area shall be available for use 24 hours a day. Landlord shall keep and maintain the Additional Parking Area in a clean and first-class condition. In addition, Landlord shall provide at least 50 visitor parking spaces for the use of all tenants in the Building as depicted on Exhibit "L". Landlord shall not be obligated to provide personnel to perform parking service but shall provide access control to the Building Parking Garage, provided Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for losses due to the theft or burglary, or for injury to persons or property done by unauthorized persons. Currently the parking configuration at the Building and for the Additional Parking Area is on an open, first come, first serve basis. (b) If Tenant, its permitted assignees or subtenants and/or their respective employees, licensees and guests at any time during the Term are not able to use the Building Parking Garage and/or Additional Parking Area for the parking spaces provided, Landlord shall take whatever steps are necessary to provide Tenant with the required number of parking spaces as set forth in Section 6.01(a). Except in the event of a casualty or condemnation as set forth in paragraph (e) below, if at any time during the Term, (i) Landlord grants reserved parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area to any tenant in the Building, or (ii) Landlord does not provide Tenant with the required 201 parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area, and if Landlord, within forty-eight (48) hours following written notice from Tenant, does not provide Tenant with the 201 parking spaces as required by this Lease, then, instead of the first come, first serve open parking system at the Building for Tenant, Landlord shall reserve for Tenant's sole use, 201 parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area (excluding the visitor parking areas as set forth on Exhibit K hereto) which are located closest to the twenty-four (24) hour ingress and egress entrance to and from the Building ("Reserved Spaces"). The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Landlord shall be deemed to have not provided Tenant with the required 201 parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area as set forth in romanette (ii) in the preceding sentence, if, and only if, two (2) times in any calendar month during the Term, Tenant notifies Landlord that there is not adequate parking for Tenant's employees in the Additional Parking Area, Landlord's property manager or designee confirms that there is not adequate parking for Tenant's employees in the Additional Parking Area, and Landlord does not provide such required parking within the forty-eight (48) hour cure period as set forth in the preceding sentence. (c) The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Landlord shall be deemed to have not provided Tenant with the required 55 spaces in the Building Parking Garage if and only if -18- two times in any calendar month during the Term Tenant provides written notification to Landlord that the required 55 spaces are not available for use by Tenant's employees in the Building Parking Garage, Landlord's property manager or designee confirms that the required 55 spaces are not available for use by Tenant`s employees in the Building Parking Garage, and Landlord does not provide such required parking spaces within 48 hours of delivery of Tenant's written notification. If the Landlord is deemed to have not provided Tenant and its employees with the required 55 parking spaces in the Building Parking Garage as aforesaid, then the Rent shall abate for the Premises until Tenant is provided the use of such 55 parking spaces in the Building Parking Garage; provided further, if Landlord fails to provide the required 55 spaces in the Building Parking Garage for the use of Tenant and its employees for 30 consecutive days, then Tenant may, at any time after such 30 consecutive days, but during the rent abatement period, terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord, which notice shall specify the effective date of termination, and which date shall not be more than 180 days after the date of Tenant's notice of termination. (d) After Tenant is granted the Reserved Spaces as provided in the previous paragraph, and Landlord fails to provide to Tenant for Tenant's use 201 parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area in the Reserved Spaces following 48 hours prior written notice from Tenant, then such failure to provide to Tenant for Tenant's use 201 parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area in the Reserved Spaces shall result in Rent abating for the Premises until Tenant is provided the use of such 201 parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area in the Reserved Spaces. Additionally, if Landlord fails to provide to Tenant for Tenant's use 201 parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area in the Reserved Spaces following 48 hours prior written notice from Tenant, and such failure to provide to Tenant for Tenant's use 201 parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area in the Reserved Spaces continues for thirty (30) consecutive days, then Tenant may at any time after such thirty (30) consecutive days, but during the Rent abatement period, terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord which notice shall specify the effective date of termination which date shall not be more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Tenant's notice of termination. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a casualty or condemnation adversely affects the Building Parking Garage and/or Additional Parking Area, then Landlord can relocate (i) the Building Parking Garage spaces to visitor parking spaces described in Exhibit L hereto, or other visitor parking spaces designated by Landlord from time to time (provided that such visitor lot(s) shall be moved to either Lot 2 and/or Lot 7, at Landlord's reasonable discretion), for up to one hundred eighty (180) days, and (ii) the surface parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area within a one (1) mile radius of Building for up to ninety (90) days. If Tenant's original parking spaces are not restored within (i) one hundred eighty (180) days for those Tenant parking spaces located within the Building Parking Garage, or (ii) ninety (90) days for those Tenant parking spaces located within the Additional Parking Area, then Tenant shall have right to terminate this Lease, prior to the restoration of such original parking spaces, by providing written notice to Landlord, which notice shall specify the effective date of termination which date shall not be more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Tenant's notice of termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, in the event Tenant is not able to use the Additional Parking Area for the parking spaces provided herein due to a casualty or condemnation, then Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall use its best efforts to immediately provide alternative parking for Tenant within a one (1) mile radius of the Building -19- (with a reasonable number of parking shuttles to transport Tenant's employees to and from such parking areas and the Building) until Tenant is once again able to use the Additional Parking Area for the parking spaces provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, if Landlord immediately provides such alternative parking for Tenant (i) in the visitor parking area described in Exhibit L hereto, or other visitor parking spaces as described above, for the parking spaces within the Building Parking Garage, and (ii) within a one (1) mile radius of the Building (with a reasonable number of parking shuttles, at Landlord's cost and expense, to transport Tenant's employees to and from such parking areas and the Building) for the parking spaces within the Additional Parking Area, then Landlord shall be deemed to have provided Tenant with the required parking under this Lease; provided, however, Tenant shall still have the right to terminate this Lease as provided above in this paragraph if Tenant's original fifty-five (55) parking spaces are not restored within (i) one hundred eighty (180) days for Tenant's parking spaces located within Building Parking Garage, or (ii) ninety (90) days for Tenant's two hundred and one (201) parking spaces located within the Additional Parking Area. In the event Tenant is not able to use the Building Parking Garage and/or Additional Parking Area for the parking spaces provided in this Lease due to a casualty or condemnation, and if Landlord is unable to immediately provide (i) alternative parking in the visitor parking area described in Exhibit L hereto, or other visitor parking spaces as described above, for the Tenant parking spaces located within the Building Parking Garage, and/or (ii) alternative parking within a one (1) mile radius of the Building for the Tenant parking spaces located within the Additional Parking Area, then such failure to immediately provide parking in the Building Parking Garage and/or Additional Parking Area, as applicable, shall result in Rent abating for the Premises until Tenant is provided the use of such parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area and the Building Parking Garage, and if such failure continues for thirty (30) consecutive days, then Tenant may at any time after such thirty (30) consecutive days, but during the Rent abatement period, terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord which notice shall specify the effective date of termination which date shall not be more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Tenant's notice of termination. (f) Landlord covenants to Tenant that it will not separately (without also selling the Building and Building Parking Garage and other Additional Parking Area) (i) sell or convey any of the Additional Parking Area set forth on Exhibit K hereto to any other party, or (ii) enter into a ground lease for any of the Additional Parking Area set forth on Exhibit K hereto with any other party; provided, however, (i) Landlord may sell or convey, or enter into a ground lease for, any of the Additional Parking Area, if Landlord provides to Tenant substitute parking at no greater distance than the Additional Parking Area lot that is being sold or leased, and (ii) subject to Section 6.01(a) Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, enter into a ground lease for lots 1, 5 and 12 in the Additional Parking Area that is terminable by Landlord, in its sole discretion, upon thirty (30) days notice. (g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.01, Landlord shall not be financially liable for the unauthorized use of Tenant's parking, provided that it has immediately taken reasonable measures to insure the availability of such parking. Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that its employees restrict their use of parking to Tenant's parking spaces. In the event Landlord fails within forty-eight (48) hours of Tenant's written notice to remove an unauthorized vehicle from the parking area's provided for tenants of the Building or from Tenant's contiguous covered parking spaces, Tenant at its risk may cause such vehicle to be -20- towed by a licensed car towing company at the expense of Landlord. Landlord shall keep and maintain the Additional Parking Area in a safe condition. (h) Landlord hereby agrees to reserve seven (7) parking spaces in the visitor parking area described in Exhibit L hereto (five (5) spaces in the front row and two (2) spaces in the second row) for Tenant's sole use. Landlord shall have the right during the Lease Term if the visitor parking area described in Exhibit L hereto is routinely full to reallocate up to fifteen (15) parking spaces in the Additional Parking Area to be used for visitor parking for the Building.; ARTICLE SEVEN - USE AND ACCESS Section 7.01 Use. (a) Tenant, its Affiliates (as defined in Section 16.01), and permitted assignees and subtenants, shall have the right to use the Premises for general office purposes, including data centers and storage consistent with general office use.

Upon a partial taking and the Term of this Lease continuing in force as to any part of the Premises, the Annual Rental or any Additional Rental shall be reduced proportionately based upon the part or parts of the Premises and/or other parts of the Building so taken. If a part of the Building is taken, and either (i) Landlord's architect or contractor reasonably estimates that reconstruction would require more than one hundred eighty (180) days; (ii) in Landlord's good faith, reasonable judgment the remaining portion of the Building cannot be restored to a functional whole or cannot be restored so as to be efficient and economically viable to own, operate and maintain as a commercial office building or (iii) the cost of restoration will require more than the condemnation proceeds paid to Landlord, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of such election to Tenant not later than sixty (60) days following the Date of the Taking, and this Lease shall terminate as of a date mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, but in no event more than one hundred eighty (180) days following such notice, subject to a proration and apportionment of Annual Rental and proration, apportionment and reconciliation of Additional Rental and other sums due hereunder. Section 12.03 Claims of Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in any proceeding with respect to any taking (other than for temporary use and occupancy) provided for in this Article and Tenant shall receive no part of such award, except as hereinafter expressly provided. Tenant shall have the right to make a separate claim with the condemning authority for (a) any moving expenses incurred by Tenant as a result of such condemnation; (b) any costs incurred and paid by Tenant in connection with the layout work, tenant's work or any alteration or improvement made by and paid for by Tenant to the Premises including the work performed by Landlord on behalf of Tenant pursuant to Exhibit "B"; (c) the value of any of Tenant's property taken; and (d) any other separate claim which Tenant may hereafter be permitted to make. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's separate claim shall not be reduced or adversely affected by the amount of Landlord's award. If Tenant shall not be permitted to make a separate claim in such proceeding, Landlord will at Tenant's request, prosecute all claims in such proceeding on behalf of both Landlord and Tenant in which event Tenant may, if it so elects and at its expense, join with Landlord in such proceeding, retain co-counsel, attend hearings, present arguments and generally participate in the conduct of the proceeding; provided, however, that if Landlord incurs any additional expense because of Tenant's exercising its rights under this sentence, Tenant will bear such additional expense. -32- Section 12.04 Distribution of the Award. The aggregate amount of all awards received in any proceeding relating to any taking (other than awards to Tenant pursuant to Section 12.03 or for temporary use or occupancy) is hereinafter called the "Award." The Award shall be distributed to the parties based on the apportionment of the Award in such proceeding. Section 12.05 Temporary Taking of Premises. If all or any part of the Premises shall be temporarily taken by condemnation or otherwise for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (unless Tenant shall have elected to terminate the Term of this Lease in accordance with the option provided in the last sentence of this Section), this Lease shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Tenant shall continue to be responsible for all of its obligations hereunder insofar as such obligations are not affected by such taking; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be liable for the payment of Rent or other sums for the part of the Premises so temporarily taken. The Award claims of Landlord and Tenant shall be handled as provided in Section 12.03. In the event of a temporary taking which meets the requirement of subsection (a) or (b) of Section 12.02 for a period in excess of seventy-five (75) consecutive days, Tenant may terminate the Term of this Lease upon notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after such taking or, in the case of an indefinite temporary taking under subsection (a) of Section 12.02, within thirty (30) days after such seventy-five (75) day period has expired. Section 12.06 Landlord's Obligation to Restore. (a) In the event of a taking which taking does not result in the termination of this Lease, Landlord shall, at its expense to the extent of the amount of the Award or Awards to Landlord (subject to Landlord's right of termination of Section 12.02), proceed with due diligence to repair, alter and/or restore the remaining part of the Building and the base building systems and Building standard improvements within the Premises substantially to their former condition to the extent feasible to constitute a complete and tenantable Building and Premises (assuming Tenant performs its restoration pursuant to Section 12.06(b)). Upon the expiration of any temporary taking which did not result in a termination of this Lease, Landlord, with due diligence, shall restore the base building systems and Building standard improvements within the Premises to their former condition as aforesaid. (b) In the event of a taking which does not result in the termination of this Lease and to the extent that any Award or Awards to Tenant shall be sufficient for the purpose, Tenant shall restore, with due diligence, Tenant's alterations, improvements, installations, additions and trade fixtures in the remaining portion of the Premises. Upon the expiration of or temporary taking of the Premises which did not result in a termination of this Lease, Tenant shall restore, with due diligence, Tenant's above Building standard alterations, additions, installations and trade fixtures as aforesaid. Tenant shall not be obligated to commence its restoration until Landlord has substantially completed its restoration obligation. (c) During any period of restoration of the Building and the base building systems or Building standard improvements or Tenant's alterations, improvements, installations, additions and trade fixtures within the Premises pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Rent provided for herein shall abate pro rata to the extent that, and for so long as Tenant's use or occupancy of any portion of the Premises is adversely affected. -33- ARTICLE THIRTEEN - REMEDIES AND DEFAULTS Section 13.01 Default by Tenant. (a) Any of the following shall be an "Event of Default" by Tenant under this Lease: (i) Tenant fails or refuses to pay any installment of Annual Rental or Additional Rental and such failure or refusal continues for more than ten (10) days following delivery of written notice to Tenant; provided, however, following the fourth (4th) notice of nonpayment of Annual Rental and/or Additional Rental given by Landlord in any lease year, Landlord shall not be required to give any written notice for any subsequent failure of Tenant to timely pay any installment of Annual Rental or Additional Rental occurring during such calendar year; or (ii) Tenant fails or refuses to perform any of its other covenants under this Lease, and such failure or refusal continues beyond a reasonable time to cure such nonperformance, not to exceed thirty (30) days after the receipt by Tenant of written notice from Landlord unless additional time, up to a maximum of ninety (90) days in the aggregate is required to cure the default which despite diligent and continuous effort, cannot by its very nature be cured within thirty (30) days, provided cure is commenced as soon as commercially reasonable and is diligently prosecuted to completion. (b) Following an Event of Default and which is not cured within the cure periods set out above, Landlord shall have the following remedies in addition to those other remedies at law or in equity which are not inconsistent therewith: (i) Landlord may terminate this Lease and forthwith repossess the Premises and be entitled to recover forthwith as damages a sum of money equal to the total of (a) the cost of recovering the Premises, (b) the unpaid rent earned through the date of termination, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate from the due date, and (c) any other sum of money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease at the time of termination. (ii) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right of possession (but not the Lease) and may repossess the leased premises by self-help, forcible entry or detainer suit or otherwise, without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant and without terminating this Lease, in which event Landlord may relet the same for the account of Tenant, such right to relet being on the following terms and conditions: (a) Landlord shall only relet on commercially reasonable terms and rent, and if the Premises are relet in whole or in part, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit in the net amount of the Annual Rental or Additional Rental received by Landlord as a result (after deducting all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in finding a new tenant, including brokerage fees, agent's commissions, redecorating costs, construction -34- allowance, lease concessions, parking, attorneys' fees and any other reasonable costs and expenses incident thereto). Tenant shall remain obligated to pay the amount of any deficiency in the Annual Rental or any Additional Rental obtained on such reletting, but if the Annual Rental or any Additional Rental obtained on such reletting is greater than that provided for herein plus Landlord's costs, such excess rentals shall be the sole property of Landlord, and (b) Landlord shall have the right to collect from Tenant amounts equal to said deficiencies provided for above by suits or proceedings brought from time to time on one or more occasions without Landlord being obligated to wait until the expiration of the term of this Lease; provided, however, Landlord shall not have the right to accelerate payments of future rents. Any rentals not paid by Tenant when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate. No such reletting or other action of Landlord shall be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 13.01(b)(ii), Landlord will use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages resulting from Tenant's default. (c) An election by Landlord of its remedies to terminate Tenant's right of possession under Section 13.01(b)(ii) shall not prohibit Landlord from subsequently exercising its rights to terminate the Lease under Section 13.01(b)(i). Section 13.02 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall be in default hereunder ("Landlord's Default") in the event Landlord fails or refuses to perform any of its obligations hereunder beyond (i) the specific times provided in this Lease for the performance of its obligation(s) or (ii) a reasonable time to cure such nonperformance not to exceed thirty (30) days following the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of the alleged failure to perform (or such shorter time period in the event of an emergency) unless additional time up to a maximum of ninety (90) days in the aggregate is required to cure the default which despite diligent and continuous effort, cannot by its very nature be cured within thirty (30) days, provided such cure is commenced as soon as commercially reasonable and is diligently prosecuted to completion. In the event of a Landlord's Default which has not been cured by Landlord following notice from Tenant, Tenant may, at anytime prior to such default being cured, terminate this Lease no later than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of Tenant's written notice of termination to Landlord. In addition to the right to terminate this Lease, Tenant may pursue any remedy at law or equity available to it under the circumstances and arising directly from Landlord's Default. ARTICLE FOURTEEN - BANKRUPTCY Section 14.01 Bankruptcy by Tenant.

However, if a petition for reorganization or for an arrangement is filed by or against Tenant, Landlord may not terminate the term of this Lease so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder and, provided this Lease is assumed or affirmed in such reorganization or arrangement proceeding within the time periods provided by law. ARTICLE FIFTEEN - COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS Section 15.01 Tenant's Compliance with Laws.

The term "Affiliate" shall mean any corporation or other entity controlled by, under common control with or which controls Tenant or in which Tenant, directly or indirectly, has a fifty (50%) percent or greater voting or ownership interest.

Upon the transfer of the entire estate and interest of Landlord under this Lease, the transferor shall have no liability for obligations to Tenant relating to events occurring after and to claims occurring after the date of such transfer provided that transferee has signed a written agreement to assume liability for such obligations and Tenant has been provided with a copy of such agreement. Transferor shall remain responsible for its unfilled obligations and liabilities to Tenant under this Lease based on events occurring prior to the transfer.
