Landlord may apply all or any part of the Deposit in total or partial satisfaction of any Event of Default by Tenant. The application of all or any part of the Deposit to any Event of Default of Tenant under this Lease shall not deprive Landlord of any other rights or remedies Landlord may have nor shall such application by Landlord constitute a waiver by Landlord.

Upon request of Landlord, if required by Landlord’s Mortgagees (as hereinafter defined,) Tenant shall be required to increase the limits of the insurance policies required herein to such reasonable amounts as customarily required under commercial leases for property located in Chesterfield, Virginia.

9.5. Tenant’s Failure to Insure. If Tenant shall fail to obtain or maintain insurance as required under this Section 9, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain such insurance, and in such event, Tenant agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, the premium(s) for such insurance upon demand by Landlord.

9.6. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant for themselves and anyone claiming by or through them, respectively (whether by subrogation or otherwise), each release the other from any and all liability for any loss or damage to real or personal property caused by fire or by any of the extended coverage or supplementary contract casualties, even if such fire or other casualty shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the other, or anyone for whom such other party may be responsible; provided, however, that this release shall be applicable and in force and effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such time as the releasor’s insurance policies contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair said insurance policies (or self insurance) or prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder. Landlord and Tenant each agree that it will request its insurance carriers to include in its policies such a clause or endorsement. If extra costs shall be charged therefore, each party shall advise the other thereof and the amount of the extra cost, and the other party, at its election, may, but shall not be obligated to, pay the same.

12

9.7. Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall obtain and maintain in Landlord’s fire insurance policies throughout the Term of this Lease, provisions to the effect that such policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any or all right of recovery against any party for loss occurring to the Premises. Such policy shall neither be invalidated by any foreclosure or other proceeding or notices thereof relating to the Building(s) or the Premises or any interest therein. Upon Tenant’s written request which may be submitted to Landlord one time in any given Lease year, an authorized officer of Landlord shall provide to Tenant a letter or written certification indicating that the insurance required by this Lease to be maintained by Landlord is in full force and effect pursuant to the terms hereof. No such policy shall contain a provision relieving the issuer thereof of liability for any loss by reason of the existence of other insurance policies covering the Building against the peril involved; however, if other insurance then exists which covers the loss of damage, Landlord’s insurance carrier will respond to claims as an excess carrier. The policy of insurance shall specify the waivers of subrogation and right of recovery as hereinafter described.

Throughout the Lease term, (i) Landlord shall carry comprehensive general liability in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage, with excess liability coverage of not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) Landlord shall insure in an amount not less than the full value against loss due to fire or other casualties included in standard extended coverage insurance policies, as the case may be, with an agreed amount endorsement and full replacement cost coverage, exclusive of footings and foundations. Tenant shall pay to Landlord immediately on demand all premiums for the insurance maintained by Landlord pursuant to this Section 9.7.

9.8. Landlord Not Responsible for Acts of Others. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, or to those claiming by, through or under Tenant, for any loss or damage which may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying space adjoining the Premises, or otherwise, or for any loss or damage resulting to Tenant, or those claiming by, through or under Tenant, or its or their property, or from fire or the breaking, bursting, stoppage or leaking of electrical cable and wires, or water, gas, or sewer pipes except when such loss or damage is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises, as Tenant is herein given the right to use, at Tenant’s own risk.

9.9. Increase in Insurance Premiums. Tenant will not do or suffer to be done, or keep or suffer to be kept, anything in, upon or about the Premises which will violate or contravene Landlord’s hazard or liability insurance or which will prevent Landlord from procuring such insurance in companies or by means acceptable to Landlord. If anything done, omitted to be done or suffered by Tenant to be kept in, upon or about the Premises shall cause the rate or cost of fire or other insurance on the Premises or on other property of Landlord or others within the Building to be increased beyond the minimum rate or cost from time to time applicable to the Premises, or to any such property for the use or uses made thereof, then Tenant shall either cease such activity upon Landlord’s request or Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, the amount of any such increase upon Landlord’s demand.

13

If any of the Landlord’s insurance shall be canceled or cancellation shall be threatened or the coverage thereunder reduced or threatened to be reduced in any way because of the use of the Premises or any part thereof by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant or by anyone Tenant permits on the Premises and, if Tenant fails to remedy the condition giving rise to such cancellation, threatened cancellation, reduction of coverage, or threatened reduction of coverage within ten (10) days after notice thereof (provided, however, in no event shall Tenant fail to remedy any such condition prior to such date as will result in a cancellation or reduction of coverage), Landlord may, at its option, enter upon the Premises and attempt to remedy such condition, and Tenant shall promptly pay the cost thereof plus the Default Rate to Landlord as Additional Rent. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused to any property of Tenant or of others located on the Premises resulting from such entry. If Landlord is unable or elects not to remedy such condition, then Landlord shall have all of the remedies provided for in this Lease in the event of a default by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if Tenant fails to remedy as aforesaid, Tenant shall be in default of its obligations hereunder without any cure period except as specified in this Section and Landlord shall have no obligation to remedy such default.

10. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION.

10.1. Landlord’s Obligation to Repair and Reconstruct. If the Premises shall be damaged by fire, the elements, accident or other casualty (any of such causes being referred to herein as a “Casualty”), but the Premises shall not be thereby rendered wholly or partially untenantable, Landlord shall promptly cause such damage to be repaired. If, as the result of Casualty, the Premises shall be rendered wholly or partially untenantable, then, subject to the provisions of subsection 10.2 and provided such Casualty has not resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, Landlord shall cause such damage to be repaired and all Rent reserved hereunder (other than any Additional Rent due Landlord either by reason of Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder or by reason of Landlord’s having provided to Tenant additional services hereunder) shall be abated proportionately as to the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable or unusable for Tenant’s business during the period of such untenantability. All such repairs shall be made at the expense of Landlord, subject to Tenant’s responsibilities set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for interruption to Tenant’s business or for damage to or replacement or repair of Tenant’s Personal Property and Alterations.

10.2. Option to Terminate Lease. If (a) the Premises are rendered wholly untenantable, or (b) if the Premises are damaged as a result of any cause which is not covered by Landlord’s insurance, or are damaged to the extent of thirty percent (30%) or more of the gross area of the Building on the Premises, or if, for reasons beyond Landlord’s control or by virtue of the terms of any financing of the Premises, sufficient insurance proceeds (over and above any deductible or self-insured amount maintained by Landlord) are not available for the reconstruction or restoration of the Premises, or (c) if, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the Premises are damaged by Casualty to such an extent that the damage cannot be repaired or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such occurrence, which determination shall be made by Landlord within forty-five (45) days from the date

14

of the Casualty, then, in any of such events, Landlord, or in the case of (c) above, Tenant, may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice of such election to the other party within forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of such event. If such notice is given, the rights and obligations of the parties shall cease as of the date set forth in such notice, Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and the Basic Rent and Additional Rent (other than any Additional Rent due Landlord either by reason of Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder or by reason of Landlord’s having provided to Tenant with additional services hereunder) shall be adjusted as of the date of such termination.

10.3. Damage Caused by Tenant. In no event shall Rent abate or shall any termination by Tenant occur if damage to or destruction of the Premises is the result of either (i) a default by Tenant or (ii) the gross negligence or willful act of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents.

10.4. Damage During Last Two (2) Years of Term. If the Building or the Premises or any portion thereof is destroyed by fire or other causes at any time during the last two (2) years of the Term or any extension thereof, then Landlord or Tenant shall have the right, at each’s respective option, to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party within forty-five (45) days after the date of such destruction.

10.5. No Landlord Liability. Unless caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for inconvenience, loss of business, or annoyance arising from any repair of any portion of the Premises. If Landlord is required by this Lease or by any lender or lessor of Landlord to repair Alterations not insured by Landlord or if Landlord undertakes to repair Alterations not insured by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord that amount of Tenant’s insurance proceeds, if any, which insures such damage as a contribution towards such repair.

10.6. Insurance Proceeds. If Landlord or Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to subsection 10.2, Landlord shall, subject to the terms of any Mortgage, disburse and apply any insurance proceeds received by Landlord to the restoration and rebuilding of the Building in accordance with subsection 10.1 hereof. All insurance proceeds payable with respect to the Premises shall belong to and shall be payable to Landlord, and Tenant shall not have any interest in such proceeds. Tenant agrees to look to its own policies or property damage insurance in the event of damage to Alterations or Tenant’s Personal Property.

11. CONDEMNATION.

11.1. Termination. If the entire Premises shall be acquired or condemned by any governmental authority under its power of eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of vesting or acquisition of title in the condemning authority and the rents hereunder shall be abated on that date. If less than all of the Premises as shall render the Premises untenantable should be so acquired or condemned, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the option to terminate this Lease by notice given to the other within thirty (30) days of such taking. In the event that such a notice of termination is given, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of vesting or acquisition of title in the condemning authority and the rents hereunder shall be abated on that date.

15

If (a) neither Landlord nor Tenant shall exercise their respective options to terminate this Lease, as hereinabove set forth, or (b) some lesser portion of the Premises which does not adversely affect Tenant’s use of the Premises or its ability to conduct its business or does not give rise to a right to terminate pursuant to subsection 11.1, is taken by the condemning authority, this Lease shall continue in force and effect, but from and after the date of the vesting of title in the condemning authority, the Basic Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of the Term shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the total area of the Premises, and any additional rent payable pursuant to the terms hereof shall be adjusted to reflect the diminution of the Premises, as the case may be.

11.2. Rights to Award. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord arising out of the taking or condemnation, or arising out of the cancellation of this Lease, or for any portion of the amount that may be awarded as damages as a result of any taking or condemnation or for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its rights, title and interest in and to any such award; provided, however, that, Tenant may assert any claim it may have against the condemning authority for compensation for Tenant’s Personal Property lost thereby as authorized pursuant to Virginia Code Section 25-46.21:1, as amended, provided such claim does not diminish the award or compensation payable to or recoverable by landlord in connection with such taking or condemnation. Landlord shall have no obligation to contest any taking or condemnation.

12. BANKRUPTCY OF TENANT OR LANDLORD.

12.1. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Lease, in the event Tenant shall voluntarily or involuntarily come under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and thereafter Tenant or its trustee in bankruptcy, under the authority of and pursuant to applicable provisions thereof, shall determine to assign this Lease, Tenant agrees that (a) Tenant or its trustee will provide to Landlord sufficient information enabling it to independently determine whether Landlord will incur actual and substantial detriment by reason of such assignment and (b) “adequate assurance of future performance” under this Lease, as that term is generally defined under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, will be provided to Landlord by Tenant and its assignee as a condition of said assignment.

12.2. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Lease, in the event Landlord shall voluntarily or involuntarily come under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bankruptcy Code and whether or not Landlord or its trustee in bankruptcy, under the authority of and pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, shall determine to assign or assume this Lease, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Lease by providing the Landlord written notice thereof. If such notice is given, the rights and obligations of the parties shall cease as of the date set forth in the notice, and Basic Rent and any additional rent, if any, shall be adjusted as of the date of such termination.

16

13. DEFAULT PROVISIONS AND REMEDIES.

13.1. Events of Default. Each of the following shall be deemed a default (sometimes herein referred to as a “default” or an “Event of Default”) by Tenant under this Lease:

(a) failure of Tenant to pay Basic Rent, or any other sum required to be paid under the terms of this Lease, including late charges, on the date when due hereunder, which failure continues for five (5) business days after the date when due hereunder, provided, however, two times in a twelve month period, such failure shall not be an Event of Default unless such failure continues for a period of five (5) business days after Tenant has receive written notice of such failure;

(b) if Tenant fails to pay Rent on time more than five (5) times in any period of twelve (12) months, notwithstanding that such payments have been made within the applicable cure period;

(c) if Tenant permits to be done anything which creates a lien upon the Premises and fails to discharge, or bond such lien or post such security with Landlord as is required by Section 8;

(d) if Tenant violates the provisions of Section 19 by attempting to make an unpermitted assignment or sublease;

(e) if Tenant fails to maintain in force all policies of insurance required by this Lease and any such failure shall continue for more than ten (10) business days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of such failure;

(f) if any petition is filed by or against Tenant under any present or future section or chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof (which, in the case of an involuntary proceeding, is not permanently discharged, dismissed, stayed, or vacated, as the case may be, within sixty (60) days of commencement), or if any order for relief shall be entered against Tenant in any such proceedings;

(g) if Tenant becomes insolvent or makes a transfer in fraud of creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(h) if a receiver, custodian, or trustee is appointed for the Premises or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, which appointment is not vacated within sixty (60) days following the date of such appointment;

(i) the cessation of Tenant’s business in the Premises for a period of thirty (30) days; and/or

(j) failure by Tenant to perform or observe any other term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Lease, on the part of Tenant to be performed, for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the Landlord, unless such performance shall reasonably require a longer period, in which case Tenant shall not be deemed in default if Tenant commences the required performance promptly and thereafter pursues and completes such action diligently and expeditiously.

17

For the purposes of this Lease, Tenant shall not be considered in default and Landlord shall not be entitled to exercise any of its rights or remedies relating to such default until such time as Tenant has received written notice of such default as provided in this Section and has failed to cure such default within the applicable cure period, if any, as specified in this Lease.

13.2. Landlord’s Remedies for Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right, at its election, immediately upon such Event of Default or at any time thereafter and/or while any such Event of Default shall continue, to exercise one or more of the following remedies.

(a) Landlord may terminate this Lease, as well as all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder, by giving written notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate this Lease on the date of such given notice or on any later date specified therein, whereupon, on the date specified in such notice, Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall cease and this Lease shall thereupon be terminated, except as to Tenant’s liability for damages as hereafter set forth, as if the expiration of the term fixed in such notice were the end of the Term originally set forth in this Lease.

(b) Landlord may re-enter the Premises, with or without legal process, and with or without terminating this Lease, and using such force for such purposes as may be reasonably necessary, without being liable for prosecution thereof, and without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of Rent or preceding breach of covenants or conditions and, upon such reentry, Landlord may: (i) remove any and all of Tenant’s property and Personal Property at the Premises; (ii) store Tenant’s property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost, risk and expense of Tenant without Landlord’s being deemed guilty of trespass or liable for any loss or damage which may occur to Tenant’s property; and (iii) upon five (5) days written notice to Tenant, which Landlord and Tenant agree is commercially reasonable, to sell at public or private sale any or all said property, whether exempt or not from sale under execution or attachment (such property being deemed charged with a lien in favor of Landlord for all Rent due hereunder), with the proceeds of sale to be applied: first, to the cost and expenses of retaking, or removal, storage, preparing for sale and sale of Tenant’s property (including reasonable attorneys’ fees); and second, to the payment of any sum due hereunder to Landlord (including Basic Rent, Additional Rent, and any other charges and damages theretofore and thereafter accruing); and third, any surplus to Tenant.

(c) Landlord may apply the proceeds of the Deposit to any and all damages, charges, liabilities or amounts accruing or due hereunder to Landlord.

(d) Landlord may exercise any other remedy available to it at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise; and, for such purposes, Landlord shall be entitled to the benefit of all provisions of applicable city or county ordinances and public local laws and of the public general laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia dealing with the speedy recovery of lands and tenements held over by tenants or proceedings in forcible entry and detainer.

18

13.3. Landlord’s Right to Relet Premises. Upon any entry or re-entry by Landlord, with or without legal process, Landlord shall also have the right (but not the obligation) to relet all or any part of the Premises, from time to time, at the risk and expense of Tenant. No re-entry by Landlord with or without a declaration of termination shall be deemed to be an acceptance or a surrender of this Lease or as a release of Tenant’s liability for damages under the provisions of this Section. Landlord shall have the right to let or relet the Premises for a longer or shorter term than that remaining after Tenant’s default, to lease more or less area than that contained in the Premises, to lease the Premises together with other premises or property owned or controlled by Landlord, and to change the character or use of the Premises. Landlord shall be entitled to deduct from any amounts received from any such letting or reletting all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with Tenant’s default, including, but not limited to, the cost to repair, restore, renovate or decorate the Premises for a new tenant, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees, real estate commissions, the cost of any legal actions brought against Tenant and any other costs reasonably incurred. No entry or re-entry by Landlord, whether resulting from summary proceedings or otherwise, nor any letting or reletting shall absolve or discharge Tenant from liability hereunder. Tenant’s liability hereunder, even if there be no letting or reletting, shall survive the issuance of any dispossess warrant, order of court terminating this Lease or any other termination based upon Tenant’s default and Landlord shall not be liable for Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or collect any rent due upon reletting. The words “enter”, “re-enter”, and “re-entry” as used in this Section and elsewhere in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

13.4. Damages. Tenant further agrees (i) notwithstanding re-entry by Landlord with or without termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.2, or (ii) if this Lease is otherwise terminated by reason of Tenant’s default, or (iii) if Landlord retakes possession with or without process of law, or re-enters with or without a declaration of termination or (iv) if Landlord, following any of the foregoing events, elects to let or relet the Premises as provided in Section 13.3, then Tenant shall, nevertheless, in each instance, be and remain obligated to, and shall pay to Landlord as damages, upon demand, all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any proceedings instituted by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises or otherwise in connection with Tenant’s breach of this Lease, and the expenses of releasing the Premises, including but not limited to, any leasing commissions paid in connection therewith, plus, at the election of the Landlord, either:

(a) liquidated damages determined as of the date of termination of the Lease, in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the sum of the aggregate Basic Rent and the aggregate Additional Rent which would have been paid over the remaining Term had this Lease not been terminated, discounted to present worth, over either the then-current rental value of the Premises, for such remaining Term, as determined by an independent real estate appraiser selected by Landlord, discounted to present worth or the then-current rental actually received by Landlord pursuant to a relet of the Premises, discounted to present worth, and in determining such liquidated damages, the Additional Rent for each year of such remaining Term shall be assumed to equal the Additional Rent payable for the Lease Year immediately preceding the Lease Year in which the default occurs, annualized in the event that such preceding Lease Year is less than twelve (12) months, and in determining present worth, a discount rate equal to one percentage point above the discount rate then in effect at the Federal Reserve Bank in Baltimore shall be used; or

19

(b) damages (payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month following such termination and continuing until the date originally fixed herein for the expiration of the Term of this Lease) in amounts equal to the sum of (i) an amount equal to the installment of Basic Rent which would have been payable by Tenant for such calendar month had this Lease not been terminated plus (ii) an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Additional Rent payable for the Lease Year immediately preceding the Lease Year in which the default occurred, annualized to the extent that such preceding Lease Year is less than twelve (12) months, minus the rents, if any, collected by Landlord in respect to such calendar month pursuant either to re-leasing the Premises or portion thereof or from any existing subleases permitted under the terms of this Lease (after deduction from such rents of the sum of Landlord’s costs and expenses as set forth in Section 13.3). Landlord shall be entitled immediately to bring a separate suit, action or proceeding to collect any amount due from Tenant under this Subsection 20.4 for any calendar month and any such suit, action, or proceeding shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to collect such amount due on account of any subsequent calendar month by similar proceeding. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises on such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

(c) Nothing in this Section 13.4 shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and to obtain, as liquidated damages by reason of a termination arising out of the provisions of this Section, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or any rule of law in effect as of the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to or less than the amount of liquidated damages computed under this Section 13.4.

13.5. Remedies Not Exclusive. All rights and remedies of Landlord set forth in this Lease shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy, now or hereafter allowed by or available under any statute, ordinance, rule or court, or the common law, either at law or in equity, or both in accordance with Virginia law. For the purposes of any suit brought or based hereon, this Lease shall be construed to be a divisible contract, to the end that successive actions may be maintained on this Lease as successive periodic sums shall mature hereunder. The failure of Landlord to insist, in any one or more instances, upon a strict performance of any of the covenants, terms and conditions of this Lease or to exercise any right or option herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future, of such covenant, term, condition, right or option, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect unless the contrary is expressed by Landlord in writing. The receipt by Landlord of rents hereunder, with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof or the receipt by Landlord of less than the full rent due hereunder, shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach or of Landlord’s right to receive the full rents hereunder, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord.

13.6. No Implied Waiver of Landlord’s Rights. The failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more instances upon the performance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, or to exercise any right or privilege herein conferred shall not be construed as thereafter waiving or relinquishing Landlord’s right to the performance of any such covenants, conditions, rights or privileges, and the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect, and the waiver of one default or right shall not constitute

20

waiver of any other default, and the receipt of any Rent by Landlord from Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, whether the same be Rent that originally was reserved or that which may become payable under any covenants herein contained, or of any portion thereof, shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce the payment of the Rent or of any of the other obligations of this Lease by such remedies as may be appropriate, and shall not waive or avoid Landlord’s right at any time thereafter to elect to terminate this Lease, on account of such assignment, sub-letting, transferring of this Lease or any other breach of any covenant or condition herein contained, unless evidenced by Landlord’s written waiver thereof. The acceptance of Rent or any other consideration by Landlord at any time shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord shall have absolute discretion to apply same against any sum for any period or reason due hereunder without the same constituting a release of any other sums remaining due and unpaid, notwithstanding any notations or statements on such checks or accompanying such payments.

13.7. No Acceptance or Surrender. No act or thing done by landlord or Landlord’s Agents during the Term shall constitute an acceptance of an attempted surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by Landlord. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such reletting or re-entry or taking possession, Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate this Lease for a previous default which has not been truly cured after notice. No waiver by Landlord of any breach of this Lease shall constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms hereof. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon a breach hereof shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach of this Lease.

13.8. Customs and Practices. No custom or practice which may develop between the parties in the administration of the terms of this Lease shall be construed to waive or lessen Landlord’s right to insist upon strict performance of the terms of this Lease.

13.9. Payment of Tenant’s Obligations by Landlord. In the event of a default, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, make such payment or do such act required to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant fails to act and Landlord makes such payment or does such act, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, plus the Default Rate thereon from the date paid by Landlord to the date of payment thereof by Tenant, shall be immediately paid by Tenant to Landlord. The taking of such action by Landlord shall not be considered as a cure of such default by Tenant or to prevent Landlord from pursuing any remedy it is otherwise entitled to in connection with such default.

14. NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD OR TENANT.

Landlord, Landlord’s Agents, Tenant or Tenant’s Agents or brokers have not made any representations or promises with respect to the Premises or the Building except as herein expressly set forth and all reliance with respect to any representations or promises is based solely on those contained herein. No rights, easements, or licenses are acquired by Tenant or Landlord under this Lease by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth in this Lease.

21

15. INDEMNITY.

15.1 By Tenant. Except for claims arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and/or Landlord’s Agents, Tenant shall and does hereby indemnify Landlord and Landlord’s Agents and save them harmless and, at Landlord’s option and choice of attorney, defend them from and against any and all claims, actions, losses, costs, fines, damages, liabilities and expenses, (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees) judgments, settlement payments, whether or not reduced to final judgment, for or due to loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property arising directly or indirectly (i) from or out of any occupancy or use of, or construction, repair or other work or activity done in or about the Premises, by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, or (ii) from any default by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents under the terms of the Lease, or (iii) from any occurrence whatever in, on or about the Premises, occasioned wholly or in part by any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents.

15.2 By Landlord. Except for claims arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant and/or Tenant’s Agents, Landlord shall and does hereby indemnify Tenant and Tenant’s Agents and save them harmless and, at Tenant’s option and choice of attorney, defend them from and against any and all claims, actions, losses, costs, fines, damages, liabilities and expenses, (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees) judgments, settlement payments, whether or not reduced to final judgment, for or due to loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property arising directly or indirectly (i) from or out of any occupancy or use of, or construction, repair or other work or activity done in or about the Building or the Exterior Areas by Landlord or Landlord’s Agents, or (ii) from any default by Landlord or Landlord’s Agents under the terms of the Lease, or (iii) from any occurrence whatever in, on or about the Building or the Exterior Areas, occasioned wholly or in part by any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents.

16. TERMINATION OF LANDLORD LIABILITY.

The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease shall mean only the owner or the Mortgagee or its trustees, as the case may be, then in possession of the Premises so that in the event of any transfer by Landlord of its interest in the Premises, the Landlord in possession immediately prior to such transfer shall be, and hereby is, entirely released and discharged from all covenants, obligations and liabilities of Landlord under this Lease accruing after such transfer. In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach of default hereunder by the Landlord, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Lease, the remedies of Tenant under this Lease shall be solely and exclusively limited to Landlord’s interest in the Premises. No other assets of Landlord or any partners, shareholders or other principals or members of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other judicial process for the satisfaction of any claim or remedy of Tenant.

17. INABILITY TO PERFORM.

Except as specifically provided in this Lease, this Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent hereunder and perform all of the other covenants and agreements hereunder on the part of Tenant to be performed shall in no way be affected, impaired or excused because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease.

22

18. NOTICE OF DEFAULT TO LANDLORD AND MORTGAGEE AND RIGHT TO CURE.

If Landlord shall fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease required to be performed by Landlord, Tenant shall give written notice of default to the Landlord, which shall specifically set forth the nature of the non-performance by the Landlord and shall give the Landlord thirty (30) days after written notice thereof within which to cure such default or non-performance, except in the case of an emergency in which case such shorter time as warranted by the particular circumstances, unless such performance shall reasonably require a longer period, in which case Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Landlord commences the required performance promptly thereafter and pursues and completes such actions diligently and expeditiously. Said notice of default shall be a condition precedent to the institution by Tenant of any judicial proceedings for non-performance or default against the Landlord. Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee (for which Tenant has received notice thereof), by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified, in writing, of the address of such Mortgagee. No waiver by Tenant of any breach of this Lease shall constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the terms hereof. Forbearance by Tenant to enforce one or more of the remedies available to Tenant upon a breach hereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach by Landlord of this Lease. Tenant further agrees that the Mortgagee or lender shall have thirty (30) days after the Mortgagee’s or lender’s receipt of notice of Landlord’s default in which to cure such default or, if such default cannot be cured within that time then such additional time as may be necessary (not to exceed ninety (90) days, if within such thirty (30) days a Mortgagee or lender has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure).

19. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

19.1. Transfer. Tenant agrees for itself and its permitted successors and assigns in interest hereunder that it will not assign, sublet or otherwise transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber this Lease or the Premises or any portion thereof or any of its rights under the Lease, either voluntary or by operative law nor permit other persons or entities to occupy all or any portion of the Premises, nor grant any license or concession of all or any portion of the Premises (hereinafter referred to as a “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance first obtained which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any consent given by Landlord shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent Transfer. Except as provided herein, any attempted Transfer without Landlord’s consent shall be null and void and shall not confer any rights upon any purported transferee, assignee, mortgagee, sublessee, or occupant. No Transfer, regardless of whether Landlord’s consent has been granted or withheld, shall be deemed to release Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer is conditioned upon (a) any proposed transferee or assignee’s net worth shall be at least equal to the Tenant’s net worth on the Commencement Date (b) the proposed assignee or transferee may use the Premises only for the Permitted Uses set forth in Section 6.1 and (c) the granting of consent to such proposed Transfer by any lender of Landlord.

23

19.1.1. A permitted sublease of portions of the Premises, must include (or shall be deemed to include) provisions stating that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and that in the event of the termination of this Lease, or the re-entry or dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord, at its option, may either terminate the sublease, in which case the subtenant shall peacefully vacate the premises sublet, or, require the subtenant to attorn to Landlord as its sublessor pursuant to the then applicable terms of such sublease for the remaining term thereof, except that Landlord shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of Tenant as sublessor under such sublease, (ii) subject to any offset which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, or (iii) bound by any previous modification of such sublease not consented to in writing by Landlord or by a previous prepayment of rent more than one month in advance.

19.2. [Intentionally deleted.]

19.3. Rights of Landlord. Landlord may sell, transfer, assign, and convey, all or part of the Premises and any and all of its rights under this Lease, and in the event Landlord assigns its rights under this Lease, Landlord shall be released from any future obligations hereunder, provided that Landlord shall remain liable for any previous defaults, liabilities, or obligations under the Lease, provided that such successor in interest has expressly assumed Landlord’s obligations under the Lease. Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s successor in interest for performance of such future obligations under the Lease. Except as hereinafter stated, it shall be deemed and construed, without further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest, or between the parties and the purchaser or successor to Landlord by reason of any such sale, transfer, assignment, or conveyance, that such purchaser or successor has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder.

19.4. Consent. In the event Landlord shall consent to the Transfer, Tenant shall remain fully liable as principal and not as guarantor or surety for the Rent and all conditions and covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant for the full Lease Term, even if Landlord accepts Rent from the assignees or subtenants or in any other manner deals with them. An adjudication in bankruptcy, voluntary or involuntary, or an appointment of a receiver by a State or Federal Court, or the insolvency of the Tenant, or the execution of a deed or other instrument for the benefit of creditors shall be a Transfer hereunder.

19.5. Corporate Transfer. A change in ownership of Tenant as a result of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, the exchange of stock between Tenant’s parent company or a subsidiary or the sale of all or substantially all of Tenant’s stock or the sale of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets, or the sale of Tenant’s assets as a going concern only as it relates to the business conducted on the Premises (a “Corporate Sale”), or a transfer to any corporation, partnership or other entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant, or to any entity resulting from the merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any entity that is otherwise affiliated with Tenant shall not be considered a Transfer under this Section 19. Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent and Landlord shall have no right to delay, alter or impede any of the foregoing transactions or combinations thereof.

24

19.5. Assignment and Bankruptcy. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Sec. 101, et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), any and all monies or other considerations payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the Estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. All monies or other considerations constituting Landlord’s property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord.

19.6. Request For Transfer. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 19, in the event that, at any time or from time to time prior to or during the Term, Tenant desires to effect a Transfer of this Lease in whole or in part, Tenant shall submit to Landlord (a) in writing, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, a reasonably detailed statement of the proposed Transferee’s business and reasonably detailed financial references and information concerning the financial condition of the proposed Transferee, (b) a fully executed original copy of the proposed Transfer document which contains the applicable provisions of Section 19.1 and 19.1.1 above, the effective date of which shall be at least twenty (20) days after the date on which Tenant shall have furnished Landlord with all of the information required pursuant to (a) above and which shall be conditioned on Landlord’s consent thereto, and (c) an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord by Tenant to indemnify Landlord against liability resulting from any claim made against Landlord by the proposed Transferee or by any broker claiming a commission in connection with the proposed Transfer. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, all actual reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any actual or proposed Transfer, not to exceed $1,500 per Transfer plus any fees payable to Landlord’s Mortgagee in connection with Mortgagee’s approval of such Transfer.

19.9 Additional Terms and Conditions for Transfers. The following terms and conditions shall be applicable to any Transfer:

(a) Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no Transfer shall release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations hereunder or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and other sums due Landlord hereunder and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder or release any guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty.

(b) Landlord may accept rent from any person other than Tenant pending approval of a Transfer.

(c) The acceptance of rent, shall not constitute a waiver or estoppel of Landlord’s right to exercise its rights and remedies for the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this Section.

25

(d) The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent Transfer by Tenant or to any subsequent or successive Transfer by an assignee or subtenant. However, Landlord may consent to subsequent Transfers or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Tenant or anyone else liable on the Lease and without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease.

(e) In the event of any default under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant, any guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of this Lease, including any Transferee, without first exhausting Landlord’s remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Landlord, or any security held by Landlord.

(f) Landlord’s written consent to any Transfer by Tenant shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no default then exists under this Lease nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing default.

(g) The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied upon by Landlord in giving its consent to a Transfer was materially false, at Landlord’s election, shall render Landlord’s consent null and void.

(h) Landlord shall not be liable under this Lease or under any Transfer document to any Transferee.

(i) No Transfer document may be modified or amended without Landlord’s prior written consent.

20. HOLDING OVER.

Tenant agrees to vacate the Premises at the end of the Term, and Landlord shall be entitled to the benefit of all summary proceedings to recover possession of the Premises at the end of the Term, as if statutory notice had been given. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term, such action shall not renew the Lease by operation of law and nothing herein shall be deemed as a consent by Landlord to Tenant’s remaining in the Premises. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises as required, Landlord may consider Tenant as a “Tenant-at-Will” liable for the payment of one-and-a-half times the Basic Rent payable at the end of the Term plus the Additional Rent applicable to the period of the holdover. In either event, all other covenants of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

21. SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND NON-DISTURBANCE.

This Lease is subject and subordinate to the liens of all mortgages, deeds of trust and other security instruments now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, the Building or the Premises upon which the Building is located or any portion thereof entered into by Landlord or Landlord’s successors or predecessors in interest from which Landlord’s, its successor’s or predecessor’s interest is derived (said mortgages, deeds of trust and other security instruments, being hereinafter referred to as “Mortgages” and the mortgagees, beneficiaries, and secured parties thereunder from time to time being hereinafter called the “Mortgagees”), and to any

26

and all renewals, extensions, modifications, or refinancings thereof, without any further act of the Tenant, subject to and conditioned upon the requirement that in the event of a foreclosure of a Mortgage, public sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other conveyance, this Lease shall not terminate and Tenant shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Premises or its rights under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that, if any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any of the Mortgages or if there is a public sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other conveyance, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser and shall recognize the purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease, and make all payments required hereunder to such new Landlord, conditioned upon and provided that so long as Tenant is not in default, this Lease shall not terminate and Tenant’s rights under this Lease and possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed by such purchaser, transferee or any present or future Mortgagee. It is agreed that the new Landlord may pursue its remedies against Tenant, if Tenant is in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure or grace period. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Mortgagee may at any time subordinate the lien of its Mortgages to the operation and effect of this Lease without obtaining the Tenant’s consent thereto, by giving the Tenant written notice thereof, in which event this Lease shall be deemed to be senior to such Mortgages without regard to the respective dates of execution and/or recordation of such Mortgages and this Lease and thereafter such Mortgagee shall have the same rights as to this Lease as it would have had were this Lease executed and delivered before the execution of such Mortgages. This subordination shall be self-operative, and no further instrument or act on the part of Tenant shall be required to effectuate such subordination. In confirmation thereof, Tenant shall promptly execute such further assurances as may be requested, including, without limitation, the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.

22. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

Tenant agrees at any time, and from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s written request, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written instrument certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there shall then have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as so modified, and setting forth such modifications); (b) that Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises, the date upon which the Term has commenced and the date of the expiration of the Term of this Lease; (c) the dates to which Rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any; (d) whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer of such certificate, Landlord is then in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease and, if so, specifying in detail each such default of which the signer may have knowledge; (e) as to any other matters as may be reasonably so requested; and (f) that it is understood that such instrument may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, assignee or lessee of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, in the Premises, or any portion or part thereof.

23. PEACEFUL AND QUIET POSSESSION.

Tenant, if and so long as it pays all Rent due hereunder, performs and observes the other terms and covenants to be performed and kept by it as provided in this Lease, shall have the peaceable and quiet possession of the Premises during the Term free of any claims of Landlord or anyone lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease any Mortgage encumbering the Building or Premises and to matters of public record existing as of the date of this Lease.

27

24. LANDLORD’S ACCESS TO PREMISES.

Landlord and Landlord’s Agents may, during Tenant’s business hours, with reasonable notice and with Tenant’s escort (except in cases of emergency wherein no notice is required) and without incurring any liability to Tenant, other than liability for personal injuries and damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, enter the Premises to inspect them or to make alterations or repairs or for any purpose which Landlord considers necessary for the repair, operation, or maintenance of the Premises; provided, however, that in the case of an emergency, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time, and provided further that upon such entry, Landlord and/or Landlord Agents shall use best efforts not to interfere with Tenant’s use of its Premises. Tenant shall allow, upon 24 hour prior notice, the Premises to be exhibited by Landlord (a) at any time to any representative of a lender or insurance company or to any prospective purchaser of the Premises or Landlord’s interest therein or (b) within twelve (12) months of the end of the Term to any persons who may be interested in leasing the Premises. Landlord agrees not to interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or its business. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Tenant’s internal audit records concerning secured areas of the Premises for the purpose of confirming Tenant’s compliance with all applicable health and safety laws and regulations.

25. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.

Tenant and Tenant’s Agents shall throughout the Term of this Lease, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all any and all federal, state or municipal governments, and of the appropriate departments, commissions, boards and officers thereof, as well as any and all notices, orders, rules and regulations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, or any other body now or hereafter constituted and exercising similar functions (the “Applicable Laws”) relating to the Premises or Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant will indemnify, defend (at Landlord’s option) and save Landlord harmless from all penalties, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, suits, claims, and demands resulting from Tenant’s or Tenant’s Agents’ failure or negligence in this respect. Within ten (10) days after Tenant receives notice, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing and provide Landlord with copies (as applicable) of any notices, claims, allegations or assertions alleging violation, non-compliance or non-conformance with the Applicable Laws, including any claims made or threatened regarding such non-compliance and relating to any portion of the Premises; or any governmental or regulatory actions or investigations instituted or threatened regarding such non-compliance with Applicable Laws and relating to any portion of the Premises.

26. BROKERS, COMMISSIONS, ETC.

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge, represent and warrant each to the other that, no broker or real estate agent brought about or was involved in the making of this Lease and that no brokerage fee or commission is due to any other party as a result of the execution of this Lease. Each of the parties hereto agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other against any claim by any broker, agent or finder based upon the execution of this Lease and predicated upon a breach of the above representation and warranty.

28

27. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

If Landlord makes a bona fide offer to a third party, or receives a bona fide offer from a third party which is acceptable to Landlord, for sale or transfer of the Premises, or an interest therein (a “Purchase Offer”), Landlord shall notify Tenant of the sale or transfer, the name of the offerer, the offered consideration and provisions of the Purchase Offer. Within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, Tenant may elect by notice to Landlord (the “Election Notice”) to purchase the Premises or an interest therein for the consideration and upon substantially the same terms as the other provisions stated in the Purchase Offer; except that (a) the purchase and sale shall close the later of thirty (30) days after Tenant elects to purchase or the date agreed upon by the offerer and (b) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord simultaneously with the Election Notice Tenant a $250,000 earnest money deposit, non-refundable to Purchaser except that the deposit shall be returned to Purchaser if (i) Purchaser terminates the purchase and sale agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Offer with respect to termination of the Purchase Offer, (ii) closing does not timely occur due to Seller default, or (iii) the purchase and sale agreement is terminated in the event of a casualty or condemnation. Such deposit shall be applied toward the purchase price at closing. Should Tenant fail to exercise this right within the time and in the manner required above, or waives such right in writing, Landlord shall be free to consummate the sale or transfer to the named offerer for the consideration and upon the other provisions set forth in Landlord’s notice to Tenant; however, Landlord agrees that such sale or transfer shall be subject to the provisions of this Lease, including this right of first refusal. If such sale or transfer is not consummated within six (6) months after the expiration of the earlier of the date Tenant fails to exercise its right as hereinabove required or the date Tenant waives such right in writing, the rights granted to Tenant in this Section shall once again apply to the offer described above as well as to any new offer.

28. MISCELLANEOUS.

In the event of any default by Landlord hereunder, the Tenant shall give written notice of such default to the lender or Mortgagee prior to its exercise of any rights hereunder.

RECITALS:

1. By that Lease Agreement dated    , 20    (“Lease”), Tenant leased from Landlord the property described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (“Property”).

2. The Bank has made or agreed to make a loan to the Landlord in the principal amount of $         to be secured by a deed of Trust encumbering the Property (“Deed of Trust”).

3. The Tenant and the Bank desire to confirm their understanding with respect to the Lease and the Deed of Trust.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained, the Bank and the Tenant agree and covenant as follows:

1. So long as the Tenant is not in default (beyond any cure period) in the payment of rent or additional rent or in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease, or is not in default under this Agreement, the Tenant’s possession of Property described in the Lease and the Tenant’s rights and privileges under the Lease, or any extensions or renewals which may be effected in accordance with any option in the Lease, shall not be diminished or interfered with by the Bank and the Tenant’s occupancy of the Property shall not be disturbed by the Bank for any reason whatsoever during the term of the Lease or any extensions or renewals thereof.

A-1

2. If the interests of the Landlord are transferred to and owned by the Bank by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings brought by it or by any other manner, and the Bank succeeds to the interest of the Landlord under the Lease, the Tenant shall be bound to the Bank under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term remaining and any extensions or renewals which may be effected in accordance with any option in the Lease, with the same force and effect as if the Bank were the Landlord under the Lease. The Tenant does hereby attorn to the Bank as its Landlord, such attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments on the part of either of the parties immediately upon the Bank succeeding to the interest of the Landlord under the Lease. The Tenant, however, shall be under no obligation to pay rent to the Bank, as the Landlord, pursuant to this Agreement until the Tenant has received notice from the Bank that it has succeeded to the interests of the Landlord under the Lease, or that the Bank has exercised its rights under any assignment of leases and rents from Landlord.

3. If the Bank should succeed to the interest of the Landlord under the Lease, the Bank shall be bound to the Tenant under all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and the Tenant shall, from and after the Bank’s succession to the interest of the Landlord under the Lease, have the same remedies against the Bank for the breach of an agreement contained in the Lease that the Tenant might have had under the Lease against the Landlord if the Bank had not succeeded to the interest of the Landlord. The Bank, however, shall not be:
