If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the Rent for such month shall be prorated. Tenant's covenant to pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant set forth in this Lease.

3. (a) Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Expenses. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord in the manner herein provided, beginning with the inception of this Lease, once each calendar month, Tenant's proportionate share of all costs and expenses after allowances of every kind and nature paid or incurred by Landlord in maintaining and operating the building pursuant to subparagraphs 3(c)(i), (iii), and (iv) of this section and the common areas and other items contained in this paragraph below.

Tenant's proportionate share of such cost and expense for each calendar year and partial calendar year shall be paid in monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month, in advance, in an amount estimated by Landlord, i.e., estimated cost of operation of building based on 1/12 of operating expenses and taxes after deduction of allowances as provided herein.

If the total amount due from Tenant for such year on such statement exceeds the aggregate of all amounts previously paid to Landlord during such calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual amount due, such deficiency to be paid within the 30 days after the furnishing of each such statement; and if the total amount paid by Tenant hereunder for any such calendar year shall exceed such actual amount due from Tenant for any such calendar year, such excess shall be credited against the next installment or installments of rent due from Tenant to Landlord.

Tenant shall be given the following annual allowances under the terms of this lease: (1) operating expenses—80¢ per square foot of leased space (2) real estate taxes—80¢ per square foot of leased space (3) janitorial service—35¢ per square foot of leased space.

The amount of real estate and personal property taxes included in Taxes for any year shall be the amount indicated by the tax bills for such year, except that if the tax bills for such year are not available as of the date of the report described in subsection (d) below, the amount of such taxes may be reasonably estimated by the person preparing the report. There shall be deducted from Taxes as determined for any year the amount of any refund of taxes received by Landlord during such year. There shall be included in Taxes for any year the amount of all fees, costs and expenses included (including attorneys' fees) paid by Landlord during such year in seeking or obtaining any refund or reduction of Taxes. If a special assessment payable in installments is levied against the Property, Taxes for any year shall include only the installments of such assessment, and any interest, payable with respect to such year. Taxes shall not include any federal or state franchise, capital stock, inheritance or estate taxes, except that if a change occurs in the method of taxation resulting in the substitution of any such taxes for any Taxes as defined above, such substituted taxes shall be included in Taxes.

(d). Not less than 30 days prior to any adjustment in the annual rate of Rent hereunder, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a report certified by an officer or agent of Landlord setting forth the Operating Expenses and Taxes for the relevant calendar years and describing the calculation of the adjustment.

In case any such proceedings are brought against any of these persons, Tenant covenants to defend such proceeding at its sole cost and expense by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, if requested by Landlord.

(d). All personal property located in the Premises or the Building belonging to Tenant, its agent, employees, servants, invitees or customers shall be at the risk of Tenant or such other person and Landlord shall not be liable for damage thereto or theft or misappropriation thereof.

In the event: (i) Tenant defaults in the payment of Rent and does not cure the default within 5 days after demand for payment thereof; (ii) Tenant defaults in the prompt and full performance of any other provision of this Lease and does not cure the default within 10 days after demand by Landlord that the default be cured; (iii) the leasehold interest of Tenant is levied upon under execution or is attached by process of law; (iv) Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits its inability to pay its debts or takes any action towards a general compromise of its debts or a composition with its creditors or a receiver or trustee is appointed for any property of Tenant; or (v) Tenant abandons the Premises; then and in any such event Landlord may, if Landlord so elects and with or without notice of such election, and without any demand whatsoever, either immediately terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to possession of the Premises or without terminating this Lease, immediately terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises.

(c). Upon termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon any termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Premises without termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises immediately and deliver possession thereof to Landlord in a clean, good, and tenantable condition. Upon such termination, Tenant shall be entitled to remove, without damage to the Premises or the Building, movable office furniture, trade fixtures, office machines, equipment and special lighting fixtures which may be removed without damage to the Premises or the Building.

(d). If Tenant abandons the Premises or otherwise, entitles Landlord so to elect, and the Landlord elects to terminate Tenant's right to possession only without terminating this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant's signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof as in Subsection (c) above; provided, however, that such entry and possession shall not terminate this Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's obligation to pay Rent hereunder for the full Term, and in any such case, if Landlord so elects, payment of future installments of Rent shall be accelerated, and Tenant shall pay forthwith to Landlord a sum equal to the entire amount of the Rent for the remainder of the Term plus any other sums then due to Landlord hereunder. Upon and after entry into possession without termination of the Lease, Landlord may, but need not, relet the Premises or any part thereof for the amount of Tenant to any person, firm or corporation other than Tenant for such rent, for such term and upon such conditions as Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion shall determine, and Landlord shall not be required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant or to observe any instructions given by Tenant concerning such reletting. In any such case, Landlord may make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises, and redecorate the same to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by Landlord, and Tenant shall, upon demand, pay the cost thereof together with Landlord's expenses of the reletting. If the rent collected by Landlord upon any such reletting for Tenant's account is insufficient to pay when due the full amount of unpaid Rent; all expenses of repairs, alterations, improvements, additions and redecorating and all of Landlord's expense of reletting, including brokers' commissions, Tenant shall pay to Landlord from time to time the amount of each monthly deficiency promptly upon demand.

(e). Any and all property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to Subsections (c) and (d) above or pursuant to law shall be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant and title thereto shall pass to Landlord without any cost by set-off credit or otherwise, and Landlord may, at its option: (i) accept title to such property in which event Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have conveyed such property to Landlord under this Lease as a bill of sale; (ii) at Tenant's expense, dispose of such property in any manner that Landlord shall choose; or (iii) at Tenant's expense, store such property. In no event, however, shall Landlord be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of such property.

To secure the payment of Rent and all other amounts due to Landlord hereunder, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord, as a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code, a first and prior lien upon the interest of Tenant under this Lease and upon Tenant's interest in all personal property located in the Premises, which lien may be enforced by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or in equity. At Landlord's request Tenant shall sign and deliver to Landlord a UCC-1 financing statement or any other document acknowledging a security interest. Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of tenant any such financing statement or other document in the event Tenant fails to do so on request.

(g). Tenant shall pay upon demand all of Landlord's costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in enforcing Tenant's obligations hereunder.

(h). If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder and such default shall continue after the expiration of any notice or grace period herein provided, Landlord may perform such obligation for the account and expense of Tenant without notice, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefore upon demand.

(i). All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Section No. 14 and elsewhere in this Lease shall be distinct, separate and cumulative and none shall exclude any other right or remedy of Landlord set forth in this Lease, or allowed by law. Tenant's obligations under this Section No. 14 shall survive the expiration of the Term.

15. Holding Over.

Alternatively at the election of Landlord expressed in a written notice to Tenant and not otherwise, such retention of possession by Tenant shall constitute a renewal of this Lease on all the terms and conditions contained herein for a period of one year. The provisions of this Section no. 15 shall not be deemed to limit or exclude any of the Landlord's rights of reentry or any other right granted to Landlord hereunder or under law.

(b). If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty not due to the act or neglect of Tenant, its employees, agents, or servants but are not made substantially untenantable, then Landlord shall proceed with due diligence to repair and restore the Building or the Premises, other than leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant, unless such damage occurs during the last twelve months of the Term, in which event Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such fire or other casualty by delivery of written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty days after the date.

(c). If all or any part of the Premises are rendered substantially untenantable by fire or other casualty not due to the act or neglect of Tenant, its employees, agents or servants and this Lease does not terminate, Rent shall abate for all or that part of the Premises which are untenantable on a per diem basis from and after the date of the fire or other casualty and until the Premises are repaired and restored.
