the Agreement shall be extended for the same period of time as the initial term
and upon the same terms and conditions as herein contained except for the amount

refer to the same items and costs as are used by the Building in its
determination of expenses and costs passed on to Lessor. Lessor shall
immediately notify Lessee in writing of any such increase, and shall bill Lessee
for its pro rata share thereof, which bill Lessee shall pay promptly upon such
notification for each and every month thereafter for the balance of the term.

which Lessee owes Lessor at or prior to the expiration of this Agreement, and to
reimburse Lessor for costs or expenses arising from any other obligation of
Lessee which Lessee has failed to perform. If Lessor transfers control or
ownership of the Premises and Lessor transfers the security deposit to such
purchaser, Lessee will look solely to the new Lessor for the return of the
security deposit, and the Lessor named in this Agreement shall be released from
all liability for the return of the security deposit
b. The security deposit (less any sums used by Lessor in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement) will be returned within sixty

term hereof. The security deposit shall not under any circumstance be applied in
lieu of be the final paymen(s) of Fixed Monthly Rental charges or service
charges under this Agreement.

use of telephone services as supplied pursuant to this Agreement, Lessor shall

any outstanding sums due or owing to the Lessor, and Lessor shall have the right
to charge the Lessee, as additional rent, such sums as are necessaiy to

entitle the Lessor to exercise any of its rights pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise.

Premises to Lessee at the commencement of the term, this Agreement shall not be
void nor voidable nor shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any loss or damage

possession of the Premises.
