Lessee agrees to allow Lessor access to the existing warehouse building located on the Western Parking Lot and to the portions of the office structure not leased hereunder. The warehouse, together with the code required number of parking spaces adjacent thereto are specifically reserved from this lease. So long as no other tenant(s) occupy the office structure, the Lessee has the right to use portions of the Eastern Parking Lot, with the written permission of the Lessor. At such time as Lessee needs additional parking for its on-site employees, Lessee may use for employee parking the gravel area north and east of the office structure. Floors one and four of the office structure are not included in the demised premises. In the event Lessor leases space on floors one and four to a party other than Lessee, Lessor shall install sufficient barriers to maintain private access and security to Lesses's demised premises. 2. TERM. The term of this Lease shall be for a period of 24 months, commencing on the 1st day of July, 1996, and ending at midnight, the 30th day of June, 1998, unless sooner renewed, or terminated, as provided for herein. 3. BASE RENT. (a) Lessee agrees to pay monthly installments of $13,666.67 as Base Rent, and a minimum of $4,000.00 per month as Additional Rent, for the demised premises, subject to -1- <PAGE> adjustment as hereafter provided. The first payment will be due on or before the 1st day of July 1996, and the remaining payments on the 1st day of each succeeding month thereafter, until the expiration of this Lease. In the event that the Lessee shall take possession prior to the first of the month at which the Lease Term commences, rent for the partial month shall be prorated on a daily basis. Each monthly installment shall be paid to Lessor in advance, on or before the 1st day of the month for which said installment is due, at the address set forth herein or at such other place as shall be designated in writing by Lessor. After the 5th day of each month there shall be a late fee assessed and payable of 1% of the Base Rent for each day the rent is not received. (b) Lessee shall pay as Additional Rent, in addition to the Base Rent herein reserved, any taxes, assessments, utility charges, common area expenses, maintenance, management fees or insurance premiums of other operating expenses as hereinafter provided in paragraphs 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

If any portion of said deposit is so paid or retained, Lessee shall forthwith upon Lessor's demand therefore deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to its original sum.

In the event Lessee desires to exercise this option, it shall give notice thereof within ten (10) days after the occurrence of the damage, and the parties shall thereupon agree upon an architect or contractor, or both, who shall make the determination as to the period of time within which the improvements could be repaired and made fit for reoccupancy, which decision shall thereupon be binding upon the parties hereto. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon an architect or upon a contractor within ten (10) days after the giving of the notice as provided, then Lessor and Lessee shall each appoint a contractor or architect, and the two so selected shall pick a third, and the decision of the three so selected shall be binding and final. The cost of such arbitration shall be divided equally between lessor and Lessee. 18. CONDEMNATION. All compensation awarded or paid upon such a total or partial taking of the fee of the premises shall belong to and be the property of Lessor, whether such compensation be awarded or paid as compensation for diminution in value of the Leasehold or to the fee.
