Section 1.1 The Landlord, in consideration of the rents, covenants and agreements does lease unto the Tenant, and the Tenant does hereby take the space {the "premises") described on Exhibit A attached hereto in the building located at the place specified in the Definitions section of this Lease (the "Building"). So Jong as this Lease remains in effect and Tenant is not in default of any if its obligations under the Lease, Tenant shall have the license to non-exclusively use space in any parking area designated for use by tenants of the Building, subject to such parking control program as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may implement from time to time.
Section 1.2 The term of this Lease shall be as specified in the Definition section of this Lease (unless sooner terminated as herein provided).
Section 1.3 Tenant agrees and covenants to pay Landlord during the term of this Lease, at the place specified by Landlord, the Base Rent specified and Additional Rent without deduction or setoff. All amounts owing by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, other than Base Rent, shall be Additional Rent, and upon Tenant's failure to timely pay, Landlord shall have the same remedies as for Tenant's failure to pay Base Rent. (Base Rent and Additional Rent may collectively be referred to as Rent). Base rent shall be paid in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Lease, except that the first month's rent shall be due and payable when Tenant executes this Lease. If the term does not commence on the first day of a month, Base Rent shall be prorated and paid on the date of such commencement. Interest at the rate of one and one half (1.5%) percent per month will be charged retroactive to the first day of the month for rents not paid by the fifth (5th) day of the month until all monies are paid.
Section 1.4 The Tenant agrees that it will use and occupy the Premise only for the purposes set forth in the Definitions section of this Lease.
Section 2.1 In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Pro Rata share of Building Operating Costs in excess of Tenant's Expense Stop as defined in Section 2.1 (Definitions section of this Lease.) Building Operating Costs shall mean all expenses, costs and disbursements (in excess of Tenant's Expense Stop defined in the Definition section of this Lease) which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay because of, or in connection with, the maintenance, repair and operation of the Building, including, but not limited to: real estate taxes and assessments, use sales, or any other taxes (except income taxes) based on rents, personal property taxes on personal property used in the operation of the Building; Landlord's insurance; maintenance; janitorial services for any common areas of the Building; operating supplies; properly management; Building services; snow removal; landscaping; costs of rubbish removal for any common area of the Building; tools and equipment used for the daily operation of the Building; air conditioning, ventilation and heating; resurfacing and restriping of parking areas, repairs and replacement

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Building Costs shall not include monies spent for income tax, interest, depreciation, or expenditures of a capital nature (except to the extent that such expenditures are required due to a change in a law or are reasonably anticipated to cause a reduction in the cost of services, in such case, that part of the capital expense attributes to the (ease year under good accounting practices shall be included in the Building Operation Costs.)
Section 2.2 Landlord's reasonable best estimate as to the amount of Tenant's Pro-Rata Share of Building Operating Costs shall be payable monthly, together with the monthly installment of Base Rent and any other Additional Rent due and payable to Landlord. Within one hundred twenty(120) days after the beginning of each calendar year, commencing with the year immediately following the date of this Lease, Landlord shall give Tenant a statement of Landlord's reasonable estimate of Building Operating Costs for the calendar year just started ("Building Operating Costs Estimate"), which shall be based upon a determination of past and estimated future operating cost data, together with a statement setting forth the Building Operating Costs incurred by the Landlord during the calendar year ended ("Actual Cost Statement"). Landlord's failure to give the Building Operating Costs Estimate or Actual Cost Statement within said one hundred twenty (120) day period shall not release in any manner Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and Landlord may render said Estimate or Statement at any time thereafter. In the event that the date of this Lease is not January 1, then the Base Operating Costs and the Building Operating Costs shown in the first Actual Cost Statement shall both be multiplied by a fraction (the numerator of which is the number of days that this Lease was in effect during its first calendar year and the denominator of which is 365) to determine if Tenant owes Building Operating Costs for the first partial calendar year. The obligation of Tenant for its Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for the last partial calendar year of the Lease shall be similarly calculated. Landlord may revise the monthly operating cost payment provided for herein upward of downward to reflect more accurately the newly estimated Building Operating Costs, which revision shall be separately set forth in Landlord's Building Operating Costs Estimate. AH payments due at least thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Building Operating Costs Estimates or Actual Cost Statements shall be made at the monthly rate set forth therein. In addition, if the Actual Cost Statement reveals that Tenant made under payments or overpayments of Building Operating Costs during the calendar year just ended, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpaying within thirty (30) days of Landlord's giving the Actual Cost Statement and any overpayment shall be credited against the next payments by Tenant of its Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses coming due.
