4.                                       Lessee shall have exclusive use of the fifty (50) parking spaces as designated on Exhibit A (“Site Plan”).  Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 2.6, Lessee shall be permitted to park over-size trucks and other vehicles in its designated parking spaces provided said vehicles do not disturb the ingress or egress of other tenants of the Industrial Center.

6.                                       Lessor hereby acknowledges that failure by Lessor to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Early Possession Date will result in Lessee having to holdover for an additional month at its existing premises.  In such event, Lessee shall not be required to pay Base Rent and Lessee’s Share of Common Area Operating Expenses for the month of November, 1997.  Lessor acknowledges that Lessee intends to complete its move into the Premises so that Lessee will be able to commence business operations by October 1, 1997.  This includes not only the transfer of stock and merchandise, but also the installation of Lessee’s communication systems.  Lessee acknowledges that Lessor will continue to occupy the Premises during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) during the Early Possession period in order to wind down its business.  Lessee agrees to permit Lessor to maintain or install a communication system during the Early Possession period so long as this does not interfere with Lessee’s move into the Premises and installation of its own

9.                                       Lessor shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Lessee, its agents, employees and contractors, harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities, judgments, costs, claims, liens, expenses, penalties, permits, attorneys’ fees and consultant’s fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance located in, on, under or about the Premises, building or industrial center, as of the Commencement Date or brought onto the Premises, building or industrial center by Lessor, or by anyone under Lessor’s control during the term of this Lease.  No termination, cancellation or release agreement entered into by Lessor and Lessee shall release Lessor from its obligations under this Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances unless specifically so agreed by Lessee in writing at the time of such agreement.

16.                                 In the event that a Late Charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for any three (3) installments of Base Rent during any twelve (12) month period, then notwithstanding Paragraph 4.1 or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor’s option, become due and payable quarterly in advance.

 

17.                                 . . . and shall be kept confidential.  In no event shall Lessee be required to furnish any documentation under this paragraph in the event the potential lender or purchaser is a competitor of Lessee or affiliated with a competitor of Lessee.
