Box 3167, Wilmington, North Carolina 28406 (hereinafter called the "Landlord"); and ANTIQUA APARTMENTS LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, having a mailing address of P. 0. Box 5605, Wilmington, North Carolina 28403, and JOSHUA ANTIQUA LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, having a mailing address of P. O. Box 3167, Wilmington, North Carolina 28406 (hereinafter together referred to as the "Tenant"); STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Landlord is the fee simple owner of a certain tract of land located in New Hanover County, North Carolina, described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the "Demised Premises"). It is the present intent and purpose of the Tenant to develop the Demised Premises with certain buildings and improvements to be constructed thereon by, or at the instance of, Tenant as described on Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Project"). Therefore, Landlord has agreed to lease to Tenant, and Tenant has agreed to lease from Landlord, the Demised Premises upon the terms, provisions and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Lease. WITNESSETH: In consideration of the rent to be paid, the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and of other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows: 1. Demised Premises; No Partition; Joint and Several Liability. Landlord hereby leases and rents to each Tenant an undivided one-half interest as tenant in common in and to the Demised Premises, and Tenant hereby leases and rents from Landlord, the Demised Premises, together with all easements, rights -of -ways, streets, alleys, passages, sewer rights, waters, water courses, water privileges, tenements, hereditaments, appurtenances and rights, whatsoever, now or hereafter, in any way belonging, relating or appertaining to the Demised Premises, and all right, title and interest, if any, of the Landlord, now or hereafter in and to the land lying in the streets, roads or avenues, open or proposed, in front of, adjoining or servicing the Demised Premises. No Tenant shall have the right to partition the Demised Premises, nor shall any Tenant make application to any court or authority having jurisdiction in the matter, nor commence or {23 80 02. DOC/DJ W/CMS/12550-G273971 prosecute any action or proceeding, for partition thereof. Upon a Tenant's breach of the provisions of this Section, the other Tenant, in addition to all rights and remedies it may have at law or in equity, shall be entitled to a decree or order restraining and enjoining such application, action or proceeding. All of the covenants, conditions, liabilities, obligations, and undertakings of the Tenant set forth herein are the joint and several obligation of each party named as Tenant under this Lease. 2. Term of Lease. The term of this Lease (the "Term") shall begin asof and shall end at midnight on N m2 9 unless sooner terminated or extended in accordance with the terms hereof. The period of all properly exercised options to extend this Lease under Section 4 hereof shall be included within the Lease Term for the purpose of this Lease. 3. Rental. Tenant shall pay to Landlord for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises during the first ten (10) "Lease Years" (as hereafter defined) a base annual rental of $100.00 per year, which shall be paid on or before November I of each year of the Lease Term beginning November 1, 1999. At the end of each ten (10) years of the Lease Term and at the commencement of each of the five (5) year option periods granted to Tenant under Section 4 hereof and continuing through the remainder of each such option period, Tenant shall pay, in addition to the base annual rent, "Additional Rental" to reflect the increase in the most recently published numerical index of the "Revised Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers New Series (1982-84 = 100)" published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (the "Index"). Upon each change in the Rental amount, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a written statement of the Additional Rental payable during the ensuing period. If the Department of Labor discontinues publication of the Index, any comparable consumer price index which shall be subsequently published to supersede the Index shall be used, and if none is published, then the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Department of Commerce (with proper adjustment) shall be used to determine the applicable Additional Rental, and if such publication is likewise discontinued, then adjustments in Additional Rental shall be determined by arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association under its then current rules and regulations at its office in, or most proximate to, Raleigh, North Carolina. The objective of such arbitration shall be to determine an annual increase in rental reflecting an increase in the cost of living during the period in question. All Rental payments provided for herein shall be payable without demand or set-off to Landlord, at the address hereafter set forth, until written notice to the contrary is received by Tenant. 4. Option to Extend. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option to extend this Lease for five (5) additional periods of five (5) years each, from the expiration date of the initial {23800I.RTF/D1W/CMS/12550-G27397) 2 Tenn of this Lease, upon the same terms and conditions as contained in this Lease for the initial Lease Term, except for the provisions having to do with Additional Rental set forth above. The options of Tenant to extend the term of this Lease for any or all of the option periods shall be exercisable at any time after execution of the Lease, provided written notice of exercise of an option to extend shall be delivered to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 26 hereof, no later than a date on or before 180 days prior to the expiration date of the then current Term of the Lease, and provided Tenant is not in breach of this Lease at the time of any such purported exercise of such option. 5. Definition of Lease Year. A "Lease Year" shall be a twelve (12) month period during the Term hereof with the first Lease Year beginning November 9, 1999 and ending on November 9 2098 _ and each subsequent Lease Year beginning on the anniversary date of the first Lease Year. 6, Condition and Use of Demised Premises and Proiect. (a) No future construction shall be commenced on the Demised Premises until the Tenant has procured, at its expense, all applicable building permits, licenses or other authorizations, and the insurance coverages described in Section 9 hereof. All such future improvements shall be constructed in a first-class manner with high quality workmanship and materials. Tenant shall at all times in the use of the Demised Premises and the performance of this Lease comply with all laws, ordinances, decrees, orders, rules and regulations of any lawful authority, agency or governmental unit having jurisdiction over the Demised Premises or the Project or the adjacent public streets, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act. Furthermore, Tenant shall make, at its own expense, all alterations of the Project or the Demised Premises required by any such authority, agency or governmental unit and shall save Landlord harmless from penalties, fines, costs, expenses or damages resulting from failure to do so. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall make such arrangements for the storage and timely disposition of all garbage and refuse generated by the users or occupants of the Demised Premises or the Project as may be required in order to keep the Demised Premises and the Project in a neat and orderly condition and reasonably clean and free from rubbish, dirt, snow and ice; use reasonable efforts to not cause or permit any noxious, disturbing or offensive odors, fumes, or gases, or any smoke, dust, steam or vapors or any loud or disturbing noise or vibration to originate in or to be emitted from the Demised Premises; and not do or permit any act or thing which might impair the value of the Demised Premises or the Project or any part thereof or which constitutes a public or private nuisance. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6(a), Tenant may, without the consent of Landlord, modify, alter, or add to the Project without the consent of Landlord. (b) Landlord makes no representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the Demised Premises or its fitness or availability for any particular use or purpose and shall not be liable for any latent or patent defect therein. (238001.RTP/UJW/CMS/12550-G27397) 3 7. Taxes. Tenant shall pay, satisfy and discharge as the same become due and payable, all assessments, real estate taxes, ad valorem taxes of any sort, and any governmental edPremises charges, penalties and interest levied, assessed or unposed upon or against the Demised Premises or the Project, during the Lease Term. Tenant shall provide Landlord with paid tax receipts no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the taxes would otherwise become delinquent and subject to penalty. Such ad valorem taxes shall be prorated on a calendar year, per diem, basis between Landlord and Tenant for the years in which this Lease begins and terminates. If tax authorities will not agree to send all statements for such taxes directly to Tenant upon issuance, Landlord agrees to send copies thereof to Tenant, in the same fashion prescribed for notices hereunder, within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Landlord. Any provisions in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant may, at Tenant's expense, if in good faith it believes that any tax, assessment or other charge payable by it shall be invalid, excessive or unenforceable in whole or in part, protest against and contest the validity, . amount or enforceability of any such tax, assessment or charge. In such case, Tenant shall comply with all requirements of law as to conditions precedent in making any contest, and Tenant covenants to protect Landlord against foreclosure of any lien resulting from imposition of any such tax, assessment or other charge which Tenant may contest, including the posting of bonds or other security to prevent the prosecution of any proceedings which could result in same. 8. Utilities. During the Term of this Lease, the Tenant shall pay for all electricity, gas, water, heat, air conditioning, sewerage, janitorial services, garbage disposal and all other utilities or services relating to its use or occupancy of the Demised Premises. The Landlord shall have no duty or responsibility to Tenant for the stoppage or interruption of such utilities or services, except for stoppage or interruption arising from the wrongful acts or neglects of Landlord and Landlord's agents and employees. 9. Insurance: Throughout this Lease Term, Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall keep the Project insured for the mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant, against loss or damage by fire and such other risks as are now or hereafter included in extended coverage endorsements, including vandalism, explosion and malicious mischief coverages, for improvements of similar size and quality in New Hanover County, North Carolina. The amount of such insurance coverage shall be sufficient to prevent either Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer under the provisions of the policies, but in no event shall the amount be less than one hundred (100%) percent of the agreed upon replacement cost of the Project (excluding, however, the cost of replacing excavations and foundations), without deduction for depreciation (such replacement cost being hereinafter referred to as the "Full Insurable Value"). Landlord shall not carry any insurance the effect of which would be to reduce the protection or payment to Tenant under any insurance that this Lease obligates Tenant to carry. If any dispute as to whether the amount of insurance complies with the above cannot be resolved by agreement between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord may, not more often than every two (2) years during the Term of this Lease, request either the carrier(s) of the insurance then in force or a mutually acceptable insurance consultant to determine the Full Insurable Value and the resulting determination shall be conclusive between the parties for the purpose of this Section 9. Tenant may include the holder (238001.RTF/DIW/CMS/12550-G27397) 4 of any mortgage or deed of trust placed on its leasehold estate at the instance of Tenant as mortgagee and loss payee. Upon written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall also include the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust placed on Landlord's intcrest in the Demised Premises and Project at the instance of Landlord, as mortgagee and loss payee. Landlord shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, cooperate fully with Tenant to obtain the largest possible recovery in the event of loss. Before commencement of future construction on the Demised Premises, Tenant shall procure and shall maintain in force until completion thereof, "all risk" builder's risk insurance including vandalism and malicious mischief, in form and with a company reasonably acceptable to Landlord, covering improvements in place, and all material and equipment at the job site furnished under contract, but excluding contractor's and subcontractors' tools and equipment and property owned by the contractor's or subcontractors' employees. Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant at its sole cost and expense, shall keep or cause to be kept in force, for the mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant, comprehensive broad form general public liability insurance against claims and liability for personal injury, death or property damage arising from the use, occupancy, misuse or condition of the Demised Premises and the Project, and adjoining areas or ways, providing, at the date hereof, protection of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit coverage for bodily injury or property damage, together with appropriate worker's compensation insurance in connection with any future work on or about the Demised Premises or the Project, which amount of insurance coverage shall be adjusted during the term hereof to provide at all times coverage comparable to that for similar facilities in New Hanover County, North Carolina. Any mortgagee of Landlord of which Tenant has actual written notice shall be named as additional insured. Tenant may, in lieu of original policies of insurance, deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance policies or endorsements duly authenticated by the issuing company. All such policies shall be nonassessable and shall contain language, to the extent obtainable, to the effect that (i) any loss shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Landlord or Tenant that might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance, (ii) the policies are primary and noncontributing with any insurance that may be carried by Landlord, and (iii) the policies cannot be canceled or materially changed except after thirty (30) days notice from the insurer to Landlord and any additional parties listed as loss payee(s). At the expiration of the Lease Term and in the event Landlord elects to continue said coverages, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant pro rata for all prepaid premiums on insurance required to be maintained by Tenant, and Tenant shall assign all of Tenant's right, title and interest in that insurance to Landlord. Tenant may effect for its own account any insurance not required under this Lease subject to the terms hereof. For the purpose of waiver of subrogation, anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord, for itself, its successors and assigns, releases and waives unto the Tenant, its agents, employees, successors and assigns, and the Tenant, for itself, and its successors and assigns, releases unto the Landlord, its agents, employees, successors and assigns, all right to claim damages for any injury, loss, cost or damage to persons or to the Demised Premises or the Project, or the contents and property located therein or thereon, which is t238001.RTF/DJ W/CMS/12550•G27397) 5 occasioned by fire, explosion, accident, occurrence or condition in, on or about the Demised Premises or the Project or any other casualty, the amount of which injury, loss, cost, or damage has been paid either to Landlord, Tenant or to any other person, firm or corporation, under the terms of any fire, extended coverage, public liability or other policy of insurance, to the extent such releases and waivers are permitted under applicable law. All policies of insurance carried and maintained pursuant to this Lease, if permitted under applicable law, shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision whereby the insurer thereunder waives all rights of subrogation against Landlord and Tenant, if such coverage is reasonably available to the parties. 10. Maintenance; Repairs; Alterations; Reconstruction. Tenant shall promptly and diligently repair, restore, replace or remedy all damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Project. The completed work of maintenance, compliance, repair, restoration or replacement shall be at least equal in value, quality and use to the condition of the Project immediately before the event giving rise to the work. Landlord shall not be required to furnish any services or facilities or to make any repairs or alterations of any kind in or on the Demised Premises or the Project, all such matters being the sole duty and responsibility of Tenant. Provided, however, that during the final three (3) years of the initial Lease Term, and during the option periods, upon the occurrence of damage to or destruction of the Project exceeding twenty-five percent 25% of the Pull Insurable Value thereof, Tenant shall not be required to restore or rebuild the Project but may instead, and at its option, cancel this Lease, remove from the Demised Premises any debris resulting from such casualty, and retain all insurance proceeds derived from such damage or destruction and this Lease shall terminate without further liability to either party. Provided further, however, that in the event any applicable obligation to restore or replace is not performed within a reasonable time after the damage or destruction, in no event to exceed twelve (12) months from the date of said damage or destruction, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant. Provided further, however, said period for restoration, replacement or reconstruction shall be extended for periods of unavoidable delays, i.e., delays due to strikes, acts of God, inabilities to obtain labor or materials, governmental restrictions, enemy actions, civil commotion, fire, unavoidable casualties or similar causes or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of Tenant for a period of time equal to the period of such unavoidable delay. Rentals and other obligations of Tenant hereunder, through the date of termination of this Lease, shall not be abated or reduced in the event of damage or destruction of or to the improvements. 11. Ownership of Improvements. All improvements constructed on the Demised Premises by Tenant as permitted by this Lease shall be owned by Tenant until expiration of the Lease Terni, or earlier termination of this Lease. Any improvements on the Demised Premises at the expiration of the Lease Term (but excluding any equipment, fixtures, or personal property removable by Tenant under Section 23 hereof) shall, without compensation to Tenant, then become Landlord's property, free and clear of all claims to or against them by Tenant, or any third person, other than (i) subtenants in possession of any part of the Demised Premises or the Project, or (ii) "Tenant Mortgagees," as hereafter defined. t23800I.RTP/DJ W/CMS/ 12550-G27397 ) 12. Assignment and Subletting. Tenant may assign this Lease or any interest therein, provided that, as a condition precedent to such assignment becoming effective, any such assignee shall expressly assume all covenants and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to observe, comply with or perform. Tenant shall have the absolute right to sublet any part or parts of the Demised Premises or the Project or both to bona fide Subtenants and to assign, encumber, extend or renew any such sublease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no assignment or subletting shall (i) be permitted hereunder, if at the time or event thereof, there exists an Event of Default (as hereafter defined) or any event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default or (ii) be deemed to release or discharge the Tenant from any obligation or liability under or in connection with this Lease. Landlord hereby agrees that, in the event Tenant subleases any portion or all of the Demised Premises or the Project, and if this Lease is terminated for any reason other than a casualty or a taking by condemnation or eminent domain, Landlord will recognize any Subtenant of Tenant as the direct Subtenant of Landlord under the terms and conditions of any such sublease and such Subtenant shall not be obligated by or subject to the provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that any such Subtenant of Tenant is not then in default under its own lease with Tenant. All such subleases of all or any portion of the Demised Premises shall contain and shall be deemed to contain provisions in form and substance substantially as follows: "Tenant covenants and agrees that if by reason of any default under any underlying lease, such underlying lease and the leasehold estate of the Landlord in the premises demised hereby is terminated, Tenant will attorn to the then holder of the reversionary interest in the premises demised hereby and will recognize such holder as the Tenant's Landlord under this lease, and Tenant hereby and herewith, in consideration of the foregoing, waives the provision of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which may give or purport to give Tenant any right of election to terminate this lease or to surrender possession of the premises demised hereby in the event any proceeding is brought by the Landlord under any such underlying lease to terminate the same, and agrees that the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by any such proceeding to terminate any underlying lease." 13. Events of'Default. If any one or more of the following events ("Events of Default") shall occur: a. If the Tenant shall default in the payment when due of any Rental, and Tenant does not remedy such default within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof, or (238001.RTF/D1W/CMS/ 12550•G27397) 7 b. If the Tenant shall default in the payment of any other stun of money specified hereunder to be paid by Tenant, and Tenant does not remedy such default within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof; or C. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any other of the terms, conditions or covenants contained in this Lease to be performed or observed by it, and Tenant does not remedy such default within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof or, if such default cannot be remedied in such period, does not, within thirty (30) days, commence with diligence and dispatch such act or acts as shall be necessary to cure the default and shall not complete such cure within a reasonable time; or d. If the Tenant shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or files or has filed against it in any court pursuant to any statute, either of the United States or any State, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization, or files or has filed against it a petition for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of the assets of the Tenant and such appointment shall not be vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days from the date of such appointment, or if the Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or e. If Tenant's interest in this Lease or the Demised Premises or the Project shall be subjected to any attachment, levy or sale pursuant to any order or decree entered against Tenant, in any legal proceeding, and any such order or decree shall not be vacated within thirty (30) days of entry thereof, or f. If any default shall occur under the terms of any loan of Tenant secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, or other instrument constituting a lien on the Demised Premises, the Project, or Tenant's leasehold estate, and all grace periods thereunder shall have expired; then and in any such event (regardless of the tendency of any proceeding which has or might have the effect of preventing Tenant from complying with the terms of this Lease) Landlord at any time thereafter may terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant together with a copy thereof to each "Tenant Mortgagee," as hereinafter defined, and this Lease shall terminate and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall cease; PROVIDED THAT, any such Tenant Mortgagee shall have the right to cure said defaults as hereinafter provided in Section 14 hereof, and regardless of the existence or non-existence of any such Tenant Mortgagee, Tenant's Subtenants shall remain undisturbed, if they are in good standing. 14. Morteagine. In addition to any other rights herein granted, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right, without Landlord's prior written consent, to mortgage its interest in this Lease, under one or more leasehold mortgages or deeds of trust (hereafter each called a "Tenant Mortgage") as collateral security, upon the condition that all rights acquired under such Tenant Mortgage shall be subject to the terms of this Lease. If Tenant mortgages the leasehold (238002.DOC/DJ W/CMS/12550-G27397) 8 created by this Lease, and if the holder (each a "Tenant Mortgagee") of any such Tenant Mortgage, within thirty (30) days of its execution, sends to Landlord a true copy thereof, together with written notice specifying the name and address of the Tenant Mortgagee and the pertinent recording data with respect to such Tenant Mortgage, then so long as any such Tenant Mortgage shall remain unsatisfied of record or until written notice of satisfaction is given by the holder to Landlord, the following provisions shall apply: (a) There shall be no cancellation, surrender, or modification of this Lease by joint action of Landlord and Tenant without the prior consent in writing of the Tenant Mortgagee; (b) Landlord shall, upon serving Tenant with any notice of default, simultaneously serve a copy of such notice upon the Tenant Mortgagee. The Tenant Mortgagee shall thereupon have the same period, after service of such notice upon it, to remedy or cause to be remedied the defaults complained of, and Landlord shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of the Tenant Mortgagee as if the same had been done by Tenant; (c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, while such Tenant Mortgage remains unsatisfied of record, or until written notice of satisfaction is given by Tenant Mortgagee to Landlord, if any default occurs that, pursuant to any provision of this Lease, entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease, and if, before the expiration of ten 10) days from the date of service of notice of termination upon Tenant Mortgagee, such Tenant Mortgagee notifies Landlord of its desire to nullify such notice, pays to Landlord all Rental and any other payments herein provided for and then in default, complies or commences the work of complying with all of the other requirements of this Lease, if any are then in default, and prosecutes the same to completion with reasonable diligence, then Landlord shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease and any notice of termination theretofore given shall be void and of no effect. (d) If a Tenant Mortgagee shall acquire Tenant's interest in the Demised Premises and/or Project by foreclosure of the Tenant Mortgage or by assignment -in -lieu of foreclosure, the Tenant Mortgagee may assign this Lease, and shall thereafter be released from all liability for the performance or observance of the covenants and conditions in this Lease contained on the Tenant's part to be performed and observed from and after such assignment, provided the assignee from the Tenant Mortgagee shall have assumed and agreed to perform this Lease. (e) Landlord shall, upon request, execute, acknowledge, and deliver to each Tenant Mortgagee an agreement prepared at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, in form satisfactory to such Tenant Mortgagee, between Tenant, (238001.RTF/D1W/CMS/ 12550•G27397) 9 Landlord, and such Tenant Mortgagee, agreeing to all of the provisions of this Section. 15. Eminent Domain. In the event of the taking or condemnation by any competent authority for any public or quasi -public use or purpose of the whole or materially all of the Demised Premises or Project at any time during the term of this Lease, the Landlord and Tenant (and any mortgagee of Landlord) shall have the right to participate in such condemnation proceedings and the rights of Landlord and Tenant to share in the net proceeds of any award for land, buildings, improvements and damages upon any such taking, shall be as follows and in the following order of priority: (a) Landlord, at all times, regardless of when the taking occurs, shall be entitled to receive only a nominal amount for the value of the land, given the ground rent payable under this Lease. (b) During all the entire Lease Term, Tenant shall be entitled to the entire balance of the award, which balance is hereinafter referred to as "award balance". (c) If the values of the respective interests of Landlord and Tenant shall be determined according to the provisions of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, the values so determined shall be conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant. If such values shall not have been thus separately determined, such values shall be fixed by agreement between the Landlord and Tenant or if they are unable to agree, then the controversy shall be resolved by arbitration. (d) In the event of the taking in condemnation of less than the whole of the Demised Premises but materially all of the Demised Premises, and the part of the Demised Premises that remains includes a part of the Project that was taken, then as to the untaken remainder of the Project only, but not any remaining land, the parties shall endeavor to agree on the then fair market value of such remainder of the Project, and if they fail to agree, then the controversy shall be resolved by arbitration. The value so agreed upon as the then fair market value of such remainder of the Project, or as determined in arbitration, but diminished in the same manner as provided for in "(b)" above relative to an "award balance," shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant, and until paid, shall be a charge on the share of the award for land value to which Landlord shall be entitled in the condemnation proceeding. If title to the whole or materially all of the Demised Premises shall be taken or condemned, this Lease shall cease and terminate and all Rental and other charges hereunder shall be apportioned as of the date of vesting of title in such taking or condemnation proceedings. For the purposes of this Section, a taking or condemnation of materially all of the Demised Premises, as distinguished from a taking or condemnation of the whole of the Demised Premises, means a (238001.RTF/D1W/CMS/I2550-G27397) 10 taking of such scope that the untaken portion of the Demised Premises is insufficient to permit the restoration of the then existing improvements thereon so as to constitute complete rentable improvements capable of producing a proportionately fair and reasonable net annual income, taking into consideration the payment of all operating expenses thereon, including but not limited to, the Rental and all other charges herein reserved and after the performance of all covenants, agreements and provisions herein provided to be performed by Tenant. The determination of what constitutes a fair and reasonable net annual income shall be governed by reference to the average net annual income produced by the Project during the five year period immediately preceding the taking. In the event of a partial taking or condemnation, i.e., a taking or condemnation of less than materially all of the Demised Premises, this Lease (except as hereinafter provided) shall nevertheless continue, but the Rental to be paid by Tenant shall thereafter be reduced in the ratio that the rental value of the portion of the Demised Premises taken or condemned bears to the rental value of the entire Demised Premises at the time of the taking or condemnation, and Tenant shall promptly restore the Project, as below provided. The award for said taking or condemnation in respect to the Demised Premises shall belong to the Landlord; and the award balance shall be used and paid as follows and.in the following priority: (a) First - so much as shall be necessary to repair and restore the Project to make the same a complete architectural unit as nearly as reasonably possible to the condition existing prior to the taking or condemnation; and (b) Second - the balance shall be shared by Landlord and Tenant in the same proportion that they would have shared in the award balance were there to have been a taking or condemnation of the whole or materially all of the Demised Premises at the time of the partial taking or condemnation. The Tenant shall undertake its work of repair and restoration as soon as reasonably practicable; and Tenant shall make such repairs and restoration even if the award balance is insufficient for that purpose. In the event that there is any controversy under this Section as to whether the remainder of the Demised Premises is suitable for the purposes for which the Project was designed, or if there is any controversy under this Section as to whether there has been a taking of materially all of the Demised Premises, the controversy shall be resolved by arbitration. If the whole or any part of the Demised Premises or of the Tenant's interest under this Lease be taken or condemned by any competent authority for its or their temporary use or occupancy, this Lease shall not terminate by reason thereof and the Tenant shall continue to pay, in the manner and at the times herein specified, the full amounts of the Rental and other charges payable by the Tenant hereunder, and, except only to the extent that the Tenant may be prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the condemning authority, to perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants, conditions and obligations hereof upon the part of the Tenant to be performed and observed, as though such taking or condemnation had not occurred. In the event of any such temporary taking or condemnation, the Tenant shall be entitled to 123 800 1 . RTF/Di W/CMS/12550•G273971 I I receive the entire amount of any award made for such taking, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, unless such period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend to or beyond the expiration date of the Lease Term, in which case such award shall be apportioned between the Landlord and the Tenant as of such date of expiration of the Term, but Landlord shall, in that circumstance, receive the entire portion of the award that is attributable to physical damage to the Demised Premises and/or Project and the restoration thereof to the condition immediately prior to the taking or condemnation. The Tenant covenants that, upon the termination of any such period of temporary use or occupancy prior to the expiration of the Term, it will, at its sole cost and expense, restore the Project as nearly as may be reasonably possible, to the condition in which the Project was immediately prior to such taking. 16. Indemnification. Tenant shall protect, indemnify and save Landlord harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses, including without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses by reason of (i) ownership of the Demised Premises or the Project or any interest therein, (ii) any accident, injury to or death of persons, or loss of, or damage to property occurring on or about the Demised Premises, or the Project, or any part thereof, or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault space, if any, streets or ways, (iii) any use, nonuse or condition of the Demised Premises or the Project or any part thereof, or the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, vaults and vault space (if any), and streets or ways, (iv) any failure on the part of the Tenant to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease, or (v) performance by persons other than Landlord, its agents or employees, of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect to the Demised Premises or the Project or any part thereof. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such occurrence, Tenant upon Landlord's request, shall, at Tenant's expense, defend such action, suit or proceeding by counsel designated by Tenant and approved by Landlord. Such obligation of Tenant under this Section which shall have accrued at the time of any termination of this Lease, shall survive any such termination, but shall cease one (1) year thereafter. 17. Inspection. Landlord and its authorized representatives may enter the Demised Premises and the Project or any part thereof at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same. Landlord shall not have any duty to make any such inspection nor shall it incur any liability or obligation for not making any such inspection. 18. Liens. Except as expressly permitted by the terns of Section 14 hereof, and subject in all respects to the terms of said Section 14, Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, create or permit to be created, or to remain, and shall discharge, any lien, encumbrance, or charge on, pledge of, or conditional sale or other title retention agreement with respect to the Demised Premises or any part thereof, Tenant's interest therein, or the Rental or any other sum payable under this Lease, other than (i) this Lease and any permitted assignment hereof or sublease hereunder, (ii) liens for taxes, assessments or other charges not yet payable, or payable without the addition of any fine, penalty, interest or costs for nonpayment, or being contested as permitted hereby, (iii) liens arising under the North Carolina Uniform Commercial Code (GS 25- 9-101, et seq.) which encumber only the personal property and fixtures of Tenant located on or at the Demised Premises, which personal property and fixtures Tenant is entitled to remove at the end of the Lease Term, and (iv) liens of mechanics, materialmen, suppliers or vendors, or rights 12,8001.RTF/D1W/CMS/12550A27397) 12 thereto, incurred in the ordinary course of business, which Tenant shall remove and discharge from the Demised Premises and Project within thirty (30) days of such liens having been filed. 19. Exculpation of Landlord. Nothing contained in this Lease shall constitute any consent or request by Landlord, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect to the Demised Premises, the Project, or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Landlord or Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises or Project. 20. Repossession. Subject to the terms of Section 12 hereof with respect to the rights of Subtenants, upon the effective date of termination of this Lease pursuant to default, Landlord may enter upon and repossess the Demised Premises, the Project, or any part thereof by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Tenant and all other persons and any and all property therefrom, without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of Rental -or for breach of covenant. Landlord shall be under no liability for, or by reason of any such entry, repossession or removal, whether by direct act of the Landlord or its assigns, or through the medium of legal proceedings for that purpose instituted, and such entry, repossession or removal shall not affect the liability of the Tenant or its successors for past Rental accrued under this Lease through the date of such entry, repossession or removal, but thereafter, Tenant shall be relieved of all such liability. 21. Miscellaneous. If any term of this Lease or any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby. Whenever in this Lease it is provided that any document or matter is to be satisfactory to Landlord or may be required by Landlord, it shall be deemed to mean reasonably satisfactory or reasonably required, as the case may be, in an ordinary business sense. Any approval or consent of Landlord required hereunder shall not be unreasonably (in an ordinary business sense) withheld or delayed. This Lease may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this Lease are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning hereof. This Lease may be executed in any number of coimterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 22. Mortgages and Encumbrances on Land. Nothing herein contained shall limit the right of Landlord to mortgage the Demised Premises, exclusive of the Project, subject and subordinate, however to this Lease and Tenant Mortgages authorized under this Lease (whether such Tenant Mortgages are recorded before or after Landlord's mortgages). In the event that Landlord, at any time, so places a mortgage or deed of trust on the Demised Premises, said mortgage or deed of trust shall be subject to, and shall not be a lien on the Demised Premises prior to, this Lease, or any modifications or extensions thereof, or any new Lease given by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Section 14 hereof, or any Tenant Mortgage; and any such mortgages by Landlord shall not be deemed to give any such mortgages of the Demised Premises any greater rights than Landlord hereunder, or the right to cancel this Lease, or any replacement (238001.RTr/DJ W/CMS/12550-G27397 ) 13 lease made to a Tenant Mortgagee, unless there is a default on the part of the Tenant, uncured by either the Tenant or the Tenant Mortgagee, which, under the terms of this Lease, or such replacement lease, would enable the Landlord or its successors to cancel this Lease, and witWiold from such Tenant Mortgagees a new lease. 23. Removal of Property. Tenant (if not in default hereunder) shall have the right to remove, within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Lease Term, any and all fixtures (including "trade fixtures" hereafter defined), equipment or personal property which Tenant has placed on or in the Demised Premises or the Project, subject to rights of all occupants of the Project, provided Tenant restores the Demised Premises and the Project to their same condition as at the time of the installation thereof, normal wear and tear alone excepted. All such property not so removed by Tenant shall become and remain the property of Landlord after fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the Lease Term. Trade fixtures shall be defined as being such furnishings as are customarily allowed to be removed by building tenants at the expiration of building space leases. 24. Notices. Any notices or submissions required or permitted under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be delivered or sent personally, by prepaid registered or certified mail, or by Federal Express, express United States Mail, or air courier addressed to the parties hereto at the addresses set forth at the beginning of this Lease. Any Mortgagee, trustees or beneficiary under any mortgage or deed of trust on the Demised Premises, and any Subtenant of Tenant in the Demised Premises may by written notice to Landlord and Tenant designate an address to which notices to it hereunder shall be sent. Any such party may from time to time by notice, as herein provided, designate a different address to which notices to it shall be sent. Such notices and submissions shall be deemed delivered: on the date of delivery if personally delivered, three (3) days after mailing if sent certified or registered mail, and the next business day if sent by Federal Express, express United States mail, or air courier. 25. Utility Easements. Landlord, from time to time upon request from Tenant, shall join in the granting of such utility easements as may be reasonably necessary to service the Demised Premises or the Project, and Landlord grants to Tenant the right to grant to public entities or public service corporations, for the purpose of servicing only the Demised Premises or the Project, rights -of -way or easements on or over the Demised Premises for poles, or conduits, or both, for telephone, electricity, water, gas, or sanitary or storm sewers, and for other utilities and municipal or special district services. 26. Covenants of Title. Landlord covenants, warrants and represents (i) that it is seized of the Demised Premises in fee simple, subject to no liens, encumbrances, easements, covenants, conditions, or defects in title which would materially adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises as contemplated herein, and has full right and authority to lease the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth; and (ii) that Tenant shall peacefully and quietly hold and enjoy the Demised Premises safe from any claims arising by, through, or under Landlord for the full Lease Term, so long as Tenant does not default in the performance of any of its covenants hereunder. 1238001.RTF/DJ W/CMS/ 12550•G27397) 14 27. Modification of Lease Agreement. Landlord hereby agrees to consent to such reasonable modifications of this Lease as may be necessary to enable Tenant to negotiate subleases with Subtenants for the Project, and construction or permanent financing for the Project; provided that nothing herein contained shall require Landlord to alter the Lease Term or the economic provisions of this Lease, including the amount of Rental or other payments to be made by Tenant hereunder. 28. Recording. Landlord and Tenant agree that a memorandum of this Lease will be recorded in the New Hanover County Public Registry but that this Lease itself will not be so recorded. 29. Zoning. If, during the Lease Term, Tenant applies for consents, permits, and licenses in connection with the construction or operation of the Demised Premises or the Project, or deems it necessary to seek any changes in the zoning classification applicable to the Demised Premises, then Tenant shall bear the expense of procuring such consents, permits, and licenses and seeking any such change or changes in zoning classification, but Landlord agrees to fully and promptly cooperate, at no out-of-pocket expense to Landlord, with Tenant in obtaining any such change or changes. 30. Nonmerger of Fee and Leasehold Estate. If both Landlord's and Tenant's estates in the Demised Premises or improvements located thereon, or both, become vested in the same owner, this Lease shall not be terminated by application of the doctrine of merger, except at the express written election of the owner and any mortgagees under mortgages and deeds of trust placed on the Demised Premises by Landlord. 31. Brokerage Fees. Landlord and Tenant warrant to each other that no real estate broker or other person will claim a commission fee or other compensation in connection with this Lease.

Transfer of Landlord's Interest. In the event of the sale, assignment or transfer by Landlord of its interest in the Demised Premises and/or in this Lease (other than a collateral assignment to secure a debt of Landlord) to a successor in interest (who must expressly assume the obligations of Landlord hereunder), Landlord shall be released or discharged from all of their covenants and obligations hereunder, except such obligations as shall have accrued prior to any such sale, assignment or transfer; and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of Landlord for performance of such obligations. Tenant shall thereafter attorn and look solely to such assignee, as Landlord, provided Tenant has first received written notice of such assignment of Landlord's interest. 33. Gender: Singular and Plural. As used herein, the neuter gender includes the feminine and masculine, the masculine includes the feminine and neuter, and the feminine includes the masculine and neuter, and each includes a corporation, partnership or other legal I238001.RTF/DJ%V/CMS/12550-0273971 15 entity when the context so requires. The singular number includes the plural, and vice versa, whenever the context so requires. 34. Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the Term of this Lease or any exercised option thereof with Landlord's acquiescence and without any written agreement between the parties, Tenant shall be only a tenant at will and there shall be no renewal of this Lease. 35. Nature and Extent of Agreement. This instrument and its exhibits contain the complete agreement of the parties regarding the terms and conditions of the Lease of the Demised Premises, and there are no oral or written conditions, terms, understandings or other agreements pertaining thereto which have not been incorporated herein. This instrument creates only the relationship of Landlord and Tenant between the parties hereto as to the Demised Premises, and nothing herein shall in any way be construed to impose upon either party hereto any obligations or restrictions not herein expressly set forth. Specifically, nothing in this Lease shall be construed to render the Landlord in any way, or for any purpose, a partner, joint venturer or associate in any relationship with Tenant, other than that of Landlord and Tenant, and this Lease shall not be construed to authorize either Landlord or Tenant to act as agent for the other, except as expressly permitted by the terms hereof. The laws of the State of North Carolina shall govern the validity, interpretations, performance and enforcement of this Lease. 36. Environmental Compliance. (a) Tenant's Responsibility. Tenant covenants and agrees that the Demised Premises and Project will, at all times during its use or occupancy thereof, be kept and maintained so as to comply with all now existing or hereafter enacted or issued statutes, laws, rules, ordinances, orders, permits, and regulations of all state, federal, local, and other governmental and regulatory authorities, agencies, and bodies applicable to the Demised Premises or Project, pertaining to environmental matters, or regulating, prohibiting or otherwise having to do with asbestos and all other toxic, radioactive, or hazardous wastes or materials including, but not limited to the Federal Clean Air Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as from time to time amended (all hereafter collectively called "Laws"). No material shall be installed in the Demised Premises or Project, by Tenant or any employee, agent, or contractor of Tenant which contains any asbestos or other toxic or hazardous waste or substance; or which causes, or could cause, the Demised Premises or Project to be in violation of any Laws: (i) when such material is installed; (ii) while such material remains on the Demised Premises or Project; or (iii) when such material is disturbed or removed. (b) Tenant's Liability. Tenant shall hold Landlord free, harmless, and indemnified from any penalty, fine, claim, demand, liability, cost, or charge whatsoever which Landlord shall incur, or which Landlord would {238001.RTF/DJW/CMS/12550-G273971 16 otherwise incur, by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with this Section; including, but not limited to: (i) the cost of bringing the Demised Premises and Project into compliance with all Laws; (ii) the reasonable cost of all appropriate tests and examinations of the Demised Premises and the Project to confirm that the Demised Premises and the Project have been brought into compliance with all Laws; and (iii) the reasonable fees and expenses of Landlord's attorneys, engineers, and consultants incurred by Landlord in enforcing and confirming compliance with this Section. (c) Covered Property. For the purposes of this Section, the Demised Premises and Project shall include the real estate covered by this Lease, all improvements placed on the Demised Premises by Tenant and all personal property and fixtures located on or used in connection with the Demised Premises and Project (including that owned by Tenant). (d) Insnections by Landlord. Landlord and its engineers, technicians, and consultants (collectively the "Auditors") may, from time to time as Landlord deems appropriate, during Tenant's usual business hours and after reasonable notice to Tenant, conduct periodic tests and examinations ("Audits") of the Demised Premises and/or Project to confirm and monitor Tenant's compliance with this Section. Such Audits shall be conducted in such manner as to minimize the interference with Tenant's permitted activities; however, in all cases, the Audits shall be of such nature and scope as shall be reasonably required by then existing technology to confirm Tenant's compliance with this Section. Tenant shall fully cooperate with Landlord and its Auditors in the conduct of such Audits. The cost of such Audits shall be paid by Landlord unless an Audit shall disclose a material failure of Tenant to comply with this Section, in which case the cost of such Audit, and the cost of all subsequent Audits made during the Lease Term and within thirty (30) days thereafter (not to exceed two [21 such Audits per Lease Year), shall be paid for by Tenant with fifteen (15) days of receipt of invoices from Landlord. (e) Landlord's Liability. Provided, however, the foregoing covenants and undertakings of Tenant contained in this Section shall not apply to any condition or matter constituting a violation of any Law to the extent such violation is caused by, or results from, the acts or neglects of Landlord; Landlord's employees, officers, partners, contractors, guests or invitees; prior owners or occupants of the Demised Premises; or owners or occupants of other property within the vicinity of the Demised Premises. (f) Liability After Termination of Lease. The covenants contained in this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease, and shall continue for so long as the parties hereto and their successors and assigns may be subject to any expense, liability, charge, penalty, or obligation (238001.RTP/DJ W/CMS/12550-027397 ) 17 against which either party has agreed to indemnify the other under this Section. 37. Binding Effect. Subject to express provisions hereof to the contrary, this Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns during the Term hereof and during any extensions or renewals of said Term.
