amounts.
14. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. NorStar agrees to keep the premises in
good order, condition and repair, and NorStar shall maintain, but shall not be
obligated to replace any plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, ventilating, and
electrical facilities located at the property, provided however, that NorStar
shall be obligated to repair any damage caused by it to said facilities. The
parties further acknowledge issues and responsibilities of maintenance and
repair are addressed in paragraph 14 of the sublease agreement between CED and

unreasonably withheld. As used in this paragraph, the term "utility

electrical distribution systems, lighting fixtures, space heaters,
air-conditioning, plumbing and fencing. Provided Briazz receives written notice
of any alteration or addition and has expressly reserved the right at the time
of installation, Briazz may require that NorStar remove any or all of said
alterations, improvements, additions or utility installations at the expiration
of the term and restore the premises to its prior condition. Should NorStar make
any alterations, improvements, additions or utility installations without the
prior approval of Briazz, Briazz may require that NorStar remove any or all of
the same.
15.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. NorStar shall comply with any
and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations of any governmental
entity having jurisdiction over the property relating to the design and
accomplishment of any and all alterations and improvements. NorStar shall
perform all alterations and improvements in a good and workmanlike manner.
15.3 LIENS. NorStar shall not permit any liens to be filed

repairs to the same or similar condition as it was in at the start of this
sublease, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
17. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO LEASE. NorStar shall have the right
of first refusal to lease the remaining property that Briazz will continue to
occupy pursuant to its sublease agreement with CED. If Briazz desires to
sublease, assign, or otherwise allow an unaffiliated third party to occupy any
portion of Briazz' remaining leasehold space that it continues to occupy after
entering into this sublease agreement, then Briazz shall notify NorStar in
writing of such fact, and shall include with such notice a copy of the written
agreement governing such occupancy (the "offer"). NorStar may then elect to
lease such space upon the terms and conditions of the offer, by written notice
given to Briazz within thirty (30) days after NorStar's receipt of the offer. If
NorStar does not exercise its rights with regard to Briazz' specific offer, such
election shall not constitute a waiver of NorStar's right with respect to any
subsequent offers, and Briazz must give NorStar a similar right of refusal
regarding any offer containing terms different from any previous offer presented
to NorStar.
18. INSURANCE. NorStar shall procure and maintain throughout the
term and any extension thereof, a policy of combined single limit bodily injury
and property damage insurance in the amount of $1 million applicable to the

required to be reported to a state or local agency pursuant to law and the
release was caused by NorStar, and NorStar knowingly and willfully fails to
provide such notice to Briazz, then at Briazz's option such failure to provide
notice shall constitute a material default under this sublease which can be
cured only if NorStar promptly commences and removes or otherwise takes remedial
action with respect to the Hazardous Material release. In any event, NorStar
shall be liable to Briazz for all actual damages incurred by Briazz resulting
from the failure of NorStar to give the notice required by the section.

because of any deposit, spill, discharge or other release of Hazardous
Substances that occurs during the term of this sublease, at or from the property
and which arises from NorStar's use or occupancy of the property, then NorStar
shall, at NorStar's own expense, prepare and submit the required plans and all
related bonds and other financial assurances and NorStar shall carry out all
such clean-up plans.

applicability of the Laws to the property and NorStar's use thereof, a d for
compliance therewith, and NorStar shall execute all documents promptly upon
Briazz's request. No such action by Briazz and no attempt made by Briazz to

property at reasonable times to assure compliance by NorStar with the terms of
this section.
(7) NorStar's obligations and liabilities under
