If Tenant does not exercise its Right to Expand, Landlord may (but is not required to) build Building C and market it to third party tenants in its sole discretion.

Landlord and Tenant agree that the site plan for Building C has not yet been engineered and is subject to approval of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (“MDEQ”) regarding wetlands mitigation and the approval of the City of Allen Park with respect to the site plan for Building C.

Fair Market Rental Value shall be defined as the annual rental (projected from the date of the commencement of the payment of annual rental to which it applies) which Tenant would expect to pay and Landlord would expect to receive under leases of space of comparable conditions, on conditions comparable to this Lease, covering premises comparable to the Premises in the Fairlane Business Park, Allen Park, Michigan.

If Tenant elects to have such determination made by appraisal, then:

(i) Within ten (10) days after Landlord receives Tenant’s notice of its election to have such determination made by appraisal, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint and employ, at its cost, a real estate appraiser (who shall be licensed in the State of Michigan and be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers [“MAI”] with at least ten (10) years of full-time commercial appraisal and real estate marketing experience in the Dearborn area) to appraise and establish the Fair Market Rental Value.

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the two (2) appraisers, the appraisers shall each submit an appraisal of the Fair Market Rental Value. If the appraisers are equal to or less than ten percent (10%) apart in their determination of Fair Market Rental Value, the Fair Market Rental Value shall be the average of She two appraisals. If the appraisers are more than ten percent (10%) apart in their determination of Fair Market Rental Value, then the two appraisers shall attempt to agree upon and designate a third appraiser meeting the qualifications set forth above within ten (10) days after the date of appointment of the last two appraisers.

(iii) If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the third appraiser, either of the parties, after giving five (5) days notice to the other, shall request the American Arbitration Association in Wayne County, Michigan to appoint such independent third appraiser, who shall be of similar affiliation or background of the appraisers aforementioned. Each of the parties shall bear one-half of the cost of the appointment of the third appraiser and of the third appraiser’s fee.

(iv) Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third appraiser, a majority of the appraisers shall agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value. If a majority of the appraisers are unable to agree within the stipulated time, then each appraiser shall render his/her separate appraisal within such time, and the three appraisals shall be averaged in order to establish such rate; provided, however, if the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal are more than ten percent (10%) lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal, the low appraisal and/or high appraisal shall be disregarded. If both the low appraisal and the high appraisal are disregarded, the middle appraisal shall establish the Fair Market Rental Value. After the Fair Market Rental Value has been established, the appraisers shall immediately notify the parties in writing.

Parking will meet or exceed the actual parking spaces shown on Exhibit A Pages 2 and 3.

Tenant is successor in interest to a lease dated March 9, 1994 between Detroit Art Services, as tenant, and Ford Motor Land Development Corporation, as landlord, for 16,755 rentable square feet in Suite 450, 555 Republic Drive, Allen Park, Michigan (“Existing Lease”).

Best’s policyholder’s rating of “A” and a financial category no lower than “VI” ($25 million to $50 million of adjusted policyholder’s surplus), (c) Certificates of insurance providing evidence of such coverage shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date, and similar replacement certificates shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of expiring policies, (d) All such insurance shall contain an agreement by the insurer that such policies shall not be canceled or substantially modified without providing at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Landlord, (e) If Tenant does not provide such evidence to Landlord of valid liability insurance coverage, then Landlord, at its option, may provide said coverage at any time and without notice to Tenant. The cost thereof will be charged to Tenant as Additional Rent.

9.03. Tenant hereby waives, to the extent of recovery under Tenant’s fire and extended coverage insurance policies, (a) any obligation on the part of Landlord to pay for repairs to the Premises necessitated or occasioned by fire or other casualty that is an insured risk under the insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Article 9; and (b) any right of recovery against Landlord for any loss occasioned by fire or other casualty that is an insured risk under such policies.

11.01. The term “Taking” shall mean (a) a taking during the Lease Term of all or part of the Premises as a result of condemnation or eminent domain proceedings or by agreement between Landlord and the governmental or other body which has the power of condemnation, (b) damage to all or part of the Premises as the result of condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, and (c) damage to the Premises incidental to a public work. The term “Date of Taking” shall mean the date on which title is vested in such authority or the damage is imposed, as the case may be.

11.02. Immediately upon the receipt by Landlord or Tenant of any notice of the institution of any proceeding for a Taking, or for any street widening other than a Taking or any change of grade affecting the Premises or any part thereof, the party receiving such notice shall promptly give Notice to the other party to this Lease.

11.03. In the event of a Taking of the fee of all of the Premises at the election of Tenant the Lease Term shall expire as of the Date of Taking. Such election shall be made by Notice to Landlord within 120 days after the Date of Taking.

11.04. In the event of a Taking of the fee of less than all of the Premises or the temporary use of, or a perpetual or temporary easement, upon all or less than all of the Premises, if Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine that the remaining portions of the Premises cannot be used satisfactorily for the use specified in Item 11 of the Term Sheet and shall forward Notice to Tenant of such determination within 120 days after the Date of Taking this Lease shall expire as of the Date of Taking, or, if Tenant shall have remained in possession of the untaken part of the Premises after the Date of Taking, this lease shall terminate as of the date specified in such Notice by Landlord to Tenant. Such date shall be no later than the 180th day after the Date of Taking.

11.05. In the event this Lease shall terminate in accordance with the provisions of Sections 11.03 or 11.04, the aggregate of the awards or other proceeds of the Taking (including any interest included in or paid with respect to such award or proceeds) on account of Landlord’s and Tenant’s interests in the Premises shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant as follows:

(a) Tenant shall be entitled to receive such portion of such awards or proceeds, with the interest thereon, as shall represent compensation for the value, immediately prior to the Date of Taking of the unamortized cost of improvements paid for by Tenant (as amortized over the Lease Term); and

(b) Landlord shall be entitled to receive the balance of such awards or proceeds, with the interest thereon.

11.06. In the event of a Taking of either the fee or the temporary use of, or a perpetual easement upon, less than all of the Premises, and if this Lease shall not have terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.04;

(a) Landlord shall repair and restore the Premises to the condition that existed immediately prior to the Taking (or if the Premises are not capable of being so repaired and restored, then as closely to such condition as is possible and is consistent with the intended use);

(b) the total of the awards or other proceeds of the Taking, with the interest thereon, shall first be used to reimburse Landlord for its actual expenses in restoring or repairing the Premises and the remainder shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant in the manner prescribed in Section 11.05 hereof; and

(c) this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the remainder of the Premises, except that Rent, from and after the Date of Taking, shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Rent in effect immediately prior to the Date of Taking by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the fair market value of the Premises immediately following the Date of Taking and the denominator of which shall be the fair market value immediately prior to the Date of Taking.

11.07. In the event of any street widening (other than a Taking) or change of grade affecting the Premises the aggregate of the awards of other proceeds paid in connection therewith (including any interest included in or paid in respect of such awards or proceeds) after deducting the reasonable expenses of Landlord and Tenant in collecting the same, shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant in the manner prescribed in Section 11.05 hereof, and there shall be the same reduction in Rent as recited in Section 11.06 hereof.

11.08. Nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in any award for any Taking of any Tenant’s Property or Alterations or the personal property of any subtenant or any damage to such property resulting from a Taking, and all such awards shall belong to Tenant or such subtenant, as the case may be. All claims for any such award may be filed and prosecuted by Tenant or any subtenant, respectively.

11.09. Landlord and Tenant may appear in any proceedings involving a Taking and be represented by their respective counsel.

12.01. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord may convey title to, or grant easements in, portions of the Land included in the Premises to governmental authorities or utility companies for road widening, curb rounding and water, sewer, electrical, communication and other utility lines. Any such conveyance or grant shall be deemed a Taking only if Landlord receives compensation therefor; otherwise there shall be no reduction in Rent.

13.01. For the purposes of this Article 13, Property Taxes are for and pertain to the “calendar year” (herein called the “Tax Year”).

13.02. Tenant shall bear Tenant’s Percentage Share of Property Taxes becoming due and payable during the Lease Term. Tenant shall bear as Additional Rent the expense of Property Taxes for full Tax Years during the Lease Term and, additionally, the expense thereof for the Tax Years in which the Lease Term begins or terminates in the proportion that the number of days the Lease Term exists within each of such Tax Years bears to the total number of days in such year. Since the Premises have been neither built nor assessed yet, the actual Property Taxes will not be known at the time of execution of this Lease. Landlord’s best estimate for such Property Taxes based on similar properties in the Complex is approximately $1.25 per square foot in 2000.

13.03. Special assessments applicable to the Premises and the Common Area which are confirmed and become due and payable, either in full or in part, prior to the Commencement Date shall be remitted by, and be the sole expense of, Landlord, but if such assessments are payable in installments, Landlord shall bear the expense of and remit those installments due and payable prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant shall bear as Additional Rent the expense of installments due thereafter and special assessments confirmed thereafter, but only to the extent that such assessments become due and payable in full or in installments during the Lease Term. Those installments becoming due and payable after the termination of the Lease Term shall be the sole responsibility and expense of Landlord. For purposes of this Section, payment in installments over the longest possible term shall be deemed to have been elected in any instance where a determinable option so to pay existed, or may exist, notwithstanding that an assessment may have been or may hereafter be, paid in full, and Tenant shall bear the expense of only such installments as would have become due, payable and delinquent during the Lease Term had the installment option been elected. Tenant’s liability for Tenant’s Percentage Share of Property Taxes for the last Tax Year falling entirely or partly within the Lease Term or any Extended Term shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term, or any Extended Term.

13.04. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, one-twelfth of Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Percentage Share of the cost of all Property Taxes for the Tax Year on the first day of each month during such Tax Year. With reasonable promptness after Landlord has received the tax bills for such Tax Year, or in the event of enactment of taxes in replacement of Property Taxes which require the filing of returns, then with reasonable promptness after the filing of the last such return, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement (“Landlord’s Tax Statement”), setting forth the amount of Property Taxes for the Tax Year, and Tenant’s Percentage Share of such Property Taxes. If Tenant’s Percentage Share of the actual Property Taxes for the Expense Year exceeds the estimated Property Taxes paid by Tenant for such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and Tenant’s Percentage Share of the actual Property Taxes, within 15 days after the receipt of Landlord’s Tax Statement. If the total amount of Property Taxes paid by Tenant for the Tax Year exceeds Tenant’s Percentage Share of the actual Property Taxes for the Tax Year, such excess shall be credited against the next installment of Property Taxes due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder.

13.05. Tenant may request Landlord to pursue such administrative and judicial procedures as may be necessary to contest and appeal any assessment or valuation. If Landlord agrees to pursue such procedures, then Tenant shall bear all of the costs and expenses related thereto and Tenant agrees to cooperate in all reasonable ways to further any such procedure by Landlord. Benefits and expenses resulting from any contest with respect to Property Taxes for the Tax Year in which the Lease Term begins or terminates shall be borne ratably by Tenant and Landlord in proportion to the amount of the reduction of the tax required to be borne by each pursuant to the terms of this Lease in the absence of a contest thereof.

14. Remedies in Case of Default; Indemnification; Right to Perform Covenants

then, in the event of any such situation and in addition to any other remedies that Landlord may have at law or in equity, Landlord may enter the Premises or any part thereof and repossess the same and evict Tenant and all persons claiming under and through Tenant, and remove any effects, without being guilty of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies which may be available for arrears of Rent or for Tenant’s breach of covenant; and upon entry as aforesaid, this Lease shall terminate and wholly expire. Tenant shall be liable for the Rent up to the date of such termination and for Rent that would have been payable following such termination in excess of any rent received by Landlord for that period.

14.02. Landlord shall indemnify and save harmless Tenant (and anyone claiming under Tenant) against and from any loss, damage, claim, liability, cost and expense (including without limitation counsel fees and disbursements) which shall be asserted against and incurred by Tenant (or anyone claiming under Tenant) occasioned by or arising from (a) any default by Landlord under this Lease or (b) any negligent or other tortious act of Landlord with respect to the Premises. To the extent that Tenant recovers from the insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to Article 10, Landlord is released from this indemnification.

14.03. Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord against and from all loss, damage, claim, liability, cost and expense (including without limitation reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) which shall be asserted against or incurred by Landlord and occasioned by or arising from (a) any default by Tenant under this Lease or (b) any negligent or other tortious act of Tenant with respect to the Premises. To the extent that Landlord recovers from the insurance carried pursuant to Article 9, Tenant is released from this indemnification.

14.04. Landlord shall have the right at any time, after 15 days’ Notice Tenant (or without Notice in case of emergency or in case any fine, penalty, interest or cost may otherwise be imposed or incurred), to make any payment, including but not limited to Property Taxes, or perform any act required of Tenant under any provision of this Lease, and in exercising such right, to incur necessary or incidental costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees. Nothing herein shall imply any obligation on the part of Landlord to make any payment or perform any act required of Tenant, and the exercise of the right so to do shall not constitute a release of any obligations of a waiver of any default. All payments made and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any exercise of such right shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within ten days after Notice, together with interest at the rate of 12% per annum compounded monthly, (or if such amount shall be in excess of the highest rate of interest permitted by law, then at such highest rate permitted by law), from the respective dates of the making of such payments or the incurring of such costs and expenses. In addition to any other rights and remedies available to Landlord, Landlord shall have, in respect of Tenant’s failure to make reimbursement of any amount as aforesaid, the same rights and remedies as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Rent.

14.05. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord’s mortgagee, as defined below, with a copy of all notices of default provided by Tenant to Landlord.

14.06. If Tenant shall abandon or surrender the Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord.

15.01. This Lease and the estate granted hereby shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage or consolidated first mortgage which may now or at any time hereafter constitute a lien on the Premises, and to any agreements at any time made, modifying, supplementing, extending or renewing any such mortgage; provided, however, that such subordination of this Lease and the estate hereby granted to any such mortgagee shall be upon the condition that the mortgagee under such mortgage shall execute and deliver to Tenant an instrument in recordable form (herein called a “Recognition Agreement”) providing that, so long as Tenant shall not be in default in the payment of the Rent or Additional Rent or in the performance of its obligations and covenants hereunder, this Lease and the estate hereby granted shall not be terminated, and Tenant’s possession of the Premises shall not be interfered with in any foreclosure or other action or proceeding instituted under or in connection with such mortgage. The term “mortgage” as used in this Lease shall include an indenture of mortgage and deed of trust and the term “mortgagee” as used in this Lease shall include the trustee or other holder of an indenture of mortgage or deed or trust.

15.02. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, subject to the execution and delivery of a Recognition Agreement, the provision for the subordination of this Lease and the estate hereby granted shall be self-operative and that no further instrument shall be required to effect such subordination; but Landlord and Tenant, upon request by the other, at any time or times shall execute and deliver any and all instruments that may be reasonably necessary or proper to effect such subordination or to confirm or evidence the same.

15.03. If on the Commencement Date there is any mortgage constituting a lien on the fee of the Premises, Landlord shall obtain and deliver to Tenant a Recognition Agreement from the mortgagee under such mortgage containing the provisions referred to in this Article.

16.01. Each party hereto agrees at any time and from time to time during the lease Term, within 30 days after written request from the other party, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), and the dates to which the Rents have been paid in advance, if any, and stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signer of such certificate the other party hereto is in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease, and, if in default, specifying each such default of which the signer may have knowledge.

17.01. Tenant, upon paying the Rent and the Additional Rent and performing or observing all covenants, agreements, terms, and conditions of this Lease on its part to be performed or observed, shall lawfully and quietly hold, occupy, and enjoy the Premises during the Lease Term without hindrance or molestation by Landlord, or any person or persons claiming through Landlord.

18.01. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall not, without the consent of Landlord, assign this Lease or any interest herein, or encumber its interest in this Lease, or sublease all or any part of the Premises. Landlord shall not unreasonably delay or withhold its consent for Tenant to sub-lease a portion(s) of the Premises to either General Motors Corporation, Chrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company, Visteon, or other “Tier One” suppliers or other proposed sub-tenants who are of substantially similar reputation and financial strength as Tenant and whose use of the subleased Premises is required by the business practices of Tenant and/or its customers, provided that such subleased uses do not conflict with Tenant’s proposed use and occupancy of the Premises.

18.02. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 18.01, in the event that Landlord consents to any such assignment, encumbrance or subletting. Tenant shall nevertheless remain liable for the payment of any Rent, Additional Rent and for the performance or observance of all other covenants, conditions and undertakings of Tenant hereunder. In the event that Tenant receives any compensation from any permitted assignee of this Lease for making such assignment, Landlord shall be entitled to receive such compensation. In the event that the rent and additional rent payable by any permitted subtenant of Tenant is greater than the Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the excess. Tenant may subtract from any sums due to Landlord pursuant to the preceding two sentences any sums expended by Tenant to secure the assignment or subletting such as brokerage commissions and tenant improvement costs.

18.03. Sales aggregating fifty percent or more of the capital or voting stock of Tenant (if Tenant is a non-public corporation) or transfers aggregating fifty percent or more of Tenant’s partnership interest (if Tenant is a partnership) shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease within the meaning of this Article.

19.01. Tenant may not place any signs on the Building other than lettering on the outside doors to the Premises, which shall be of a style and size approved by Landlord. Tenant shall obtain written consent from Landlord for the placement of any other sign outside of the Premises. Any sign which Tenant is permitted to place outside of the Premises shall at all times be and remain the property of Tenant and shall be removed at Tenant’s election and expense on the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease. No signs, whether permanent or temporary, may be placed in windows of the Premises.

19.02. From time to time during the last 120 days of the initial Term or any applicable Extended Term, whichever is later, Tenant shall permit Landlord to display “For Lease” signs upon the Premises in such a manner as not to interfere with the normal and regular conduct of Tenant’s business.

20.01. Tenant shall and hereby does agree to pay, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, damages, expenses, fees, claims, costs and liabilities (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation) arising out of or in any manner related to the generation, storage use, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Materials or violation of Hazardous Materials Laws at the Premises and the Common Area by Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors. Landlord shall and hereby does agree to pay, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all loss, damages, expenses, fees, claims, costs and liabilities (including, but not limited to attorney’s fees and cost of litigation) arising out of or in any manner related to the generation, storage, use, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Materials or violation of Hazardous Materials Laws at the Premises by Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors.

20.02. Tenant covenants and agrees that (a) it will not violate any Hazardous Materials Laws (b) no activity shall be undertaken on the Premises or the Common Area which would cause: (i) the Premises or the Common Area to become a hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility within the meaning of, or otherwise bring the Premises or the Common Area within the ambit of, any Hazardous Material Law, (ii) a release or threatened release of Hazardous Material from the Premises or the Common Area within the meaning of, or otherwise bring the Premises or the Common Area within the ambit of, any Hazardous Material Law, or (iii) the discharge of Hazardous Material into any watercourse, body of surface or subsurface water or wetland, or into the atmosphere of any Hazardous Material which would require a permit under any Hazardous Material Law; (c) no activity shall be undertaken with respect to the Premises or the Common Area which would cause a violation or support a claim under any Hazardous Material Law; (d) no underground storage tanks or underground deposits will be located on the Premises or the Common Area.

21.01. Landlord at its option may record this Lease, or at Tenant’s or Landlord’s request, each party shall execute a short form or memorandum of lease (herein called the “Short Form Lease”) for recording purposes. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in every reasonable way to place this Lease or the Short Form Lease, if executed, in recordable form. Tenant shall not record this Lease without Landlord’s written consent, but may record a Short Form Lease.

22.01. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to each other that neither has engaged a real estate broker, finder or any other person who would be entitled to any commission or fee in respect to the execution of this Lease and any other transaction contemplated by this Lease other than the broker listed in Item 12 of the Term Sheet for whose commission Landlord shall be responsible; and Landlord and Tenant each agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses which may be incurred as a result of any claim which may be asserted by any such broker, finder or other person on the basis of any arrangements or agreements made or alleged to have been made on behalf of Landlord or Tenant.

Either party may change its address for the receipt of Notices by giving Notice thereof to the other.

(a) In the event the original Landlord hereunder or any successor owner of the Building shall sell or convey the Building, all liabilities and obligations on the part of the original Landlord or such successor owner under this Lease accruing thereafter shall terminate, and thereupon all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner. Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner.

(b) Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining areas or any part of the area adjacent to or connected with the Premises or any part of the Building or for any loss or damage resulting to Tenant or his property from burst, stopped or leaking water, gas, sewer or steam pipes, or for any damage or loss of property within the Premises from any cause other than solely by reason of the gross negligence or willful act of Landlord, its employees and contractors and no such occurrence shall be deemed to be an actual or constructive eviction from the Premises or result in an abatement of rental.

(c) If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease upon Landlord’s part to be performed, and, if as a consequence of such default, Tenant shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgment and levied thereon against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Building and out of rents or other income from the Building receivable by Landlord, or out of the consideration received by Landlord from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord’s right, title and interest in the Building, and Landlord shall not be liable for any deficiency.

25.02. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term, and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.

25.03. The rights and obligations contained in this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and, except as otherwise provided herein, their respective personal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns.

25.04. If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, to any extent, shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision to person or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

25.05. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State where the Premises are located.

25.06. All of the covenants and agreements of Landlord hereunder shall be deemed and construed to be “conditions” as well as “covenants” as though the words specifically expressing or importing covenants and conditions were used in each separate instance.

25.07. Unless the context otherwise requires, pronouns used herein shall refer to the masculine and the feminine and to the singular and the plurals forms of such terms. The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereinafter” “hereafter and words of similar import refer to this Lease as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section, Paragraph or subdivision.

25.08. The headings of the Articles in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be used to construe or interpret the scope or intent of this Lease or in any way affect the same.

25.09. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties and all prior negotiations and agreements are merged herein.

25.10. In the event of any breach or threatened breach by either Landlord or Tenant of any of the covenants, agreements, terms, or conditions of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant each shall be entitled to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any right, power, and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

25.11. If more than one person or party shall be Landlord or Tenant, such parties, by appointment by the holders of (i) at least 51 percent of the estate of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, or (ii) the owners of at least 51 percent of the Premises, or of a corporation that owns or controls the Premises, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, by Notice to the other, shall designate a single person or party to act as their sole representative to receive or pay the Rent and Additional Rent, give or receive Notices, and give consents under this Lease for and on behalf of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be; in which case payments of the Rent and Additional Rent to or by, Notice to or by and consent by such representative shall be deemed to be valid payment to or by, Notice to or by or consent by all of the parties constituting Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. Such designation may be revoked by Notice given in the same manner as the appointment, by death of the person designated or by judicial determination of incompetency of the person designated, but not otherwise. Until such designation is revoked, payment to, or Notice to or by, or consent by such representative shall be conclusively binding upon all of the parties constituting Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, and upon their respective heirs, executors, administrators, guardians, successors, and assigns. In the event no such appointment shall be in effect at any time during the term of this Lease, payment and Notice to and consent by any one party who may own an interest in the estate of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall be deemed payment and Notice to and consent by all of the parties constituting Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, and upon their respective heirs, executors, administrators, guardians, successors, and assigns.

Without limiting the foregoing, it is specifically understood that neither party is the agent of the other and neither is in any way empowered to bind the other to use the name of the other in connection with the construction, maintenance or operation of the Premises, except as otherwise specifically provided herein.
