13.2 Landlord's Remedies: In the event of any default by Tenant, Landlord
-------------------
may, at Landlord's election, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written
notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set
forth for termination in such notice. Any termination under this subparagraph
shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay sums then due Landlord or
from any claim against Tenant for damages or rent previously accrued or then
accruing. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by
Landlord, in the absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this
Lease, constitute a termination of this Lease:
13.2.1 Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect
Landlord's interest hereunder;
8
13.2.2 Consent to any subletting of the Premises or assignment of
this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; or
13.2.3 Any other action by Landlord or Landlord's agents intended
to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including
without limitation any action taken to maintain and preserve the Premises or any
action taken to relet the Premises or any portions thereof, for the account of
Tenant and in the name of Tenant.
13.3. Rights Upon Termination: In the event Landlord terminates this
-----------------------
Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord's election, to damages in an
amount as set forth below:
13.3.1 The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided,
computed by discounting such amount at the prime rate published in the Wall
----
Street Journal at the time of award plus one percent (1%); and
--------------
13.3.2 Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations
under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to
result therefrom.
13.3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Lease, Landlord shall use its best efforts to mitigate any damages
resulting from any default by Tenant, and Tenant shall not in any event be
liable for any damages reasonably mitigable by Landlord. Landlord waives any
right of distraint, distress for rent or landlord's lien that may arise at law.
13.4 Landlord's Default and Tenant's Remedies: In the event Landlord fails
----------------------------------------
to perform any of its obligations under this Lease and fails to cure such
default within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying the
nature of such default where such default could reasonably be cured within said
thirty (30) day period, or fails to commence such cure within said thirty (30)
day period and thereafter continuously with due diligence prosecute such cure to
completion where such default could not reasonably be cured within said thirty
(30) day period, then Tenant shall have the following remedies:
13.4.1 Tenant may proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to
perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such
failure to perform (except to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages
resulting from injury to person or damage to property as provided herein).
13.4.2 Tenant may cure any default of Landlord at Landlord's cost.
If Tenant at any time by reason of Landlord's default reasonably pays any sum or
does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Tenant shall
be immediately due from Landlord to Tenant at the time the sum is paid, and
shall bear interest at the Agreed Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by
Tenant until Tenant is reimbursed by Landlord. Any such amount shall be payable
by Landlord to Tenant within ten (10) days following Tenant's written demand for
payment and if not so paid, may be offset against the next installments of
Monthly Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord under the Lease.
13.5 Waiver: One party's consent to or approval of any act by the other
------
party requiring the first party's consent or approval shall not be deemed to
waive or render unnecessary the first party's consent to or approval of any
subsequent similar act by the other party. The receipt by Landlord of any rent
or payment with or without knowledge of the breach of any other provision hereof
shall not be deemed a waiver of any such breach unless such waiver is in writing
and signed by Landlord. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or
remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the other party under this
Lease shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any such
breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by either party of any
breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions herein contained.

14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING:
-------------------------
14.1 By Tenant: The following provisions shall apply to any assignment
---------
or subletting by Tenant:
14.1.1 Tenant shall not sublet the Premises or assign or encumber
its interest in this Lease, without Landlord's prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord shall be deemed
to have consented to any proposed assignment or subletting if it has not
reasonably withheld its consent to any such proposed assignment or subletting
within fifteen (15) days of Tenant's request for consent.
14.1.2 Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or
encumbrances of this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Premises shall
not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, encumbrance, or
subletting.
14.1.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease
or sublet all or a portion of the Premises without Landlord's consent (i) to a
parent, subsidiary, or an entity under common control with Tenant, (ii) in
connection with the transfer of stock of Tenant, or (iii) in connection with the
sale of substantially all of Tenant's assets located in the Premises.
14.2 By Landlord: Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the
-----------
right to transfer their interest in the Building. As used herein, the term
'Landlord' shall mean the Landlord originally named herein, but following any
transfer of its interest in the Premises and the Property, the term 'Landlord'
shall thereafter mean the transferee of such interest.
15. TERMINATION:
-----------
15.1 Surrender of the Premises: Immediately prior to the expiration or
-------------------------
upon the earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all Leasehold
Improvements installed in the Premises by Tenant (which Landlord has not agreed
may remain in the Premises), trade fixtures and other personal property, repair
all damage caused by the installation and removal of such property, and vacate
and surrender the Premises to Landlord in good condition, reasonable wear and
tear, condemnations, perils and Hazardous Materials not placed on or about the
Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors excepted.
15.2 Holding Over: Any holding over after the expiration of the Lease
------------
Term and with the written consent of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy
from month to month on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as
applicable.
16. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO PURCHASE: If at any time during the Lease Term,
----------------------------------
Landlord elects to sell the Premises, Tenant shall have the right of first
refusal to meet any bona fide offer to purchase the Premises received by
Landlord from any party on the same terms and conditions of such offer.
Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with a copy of any such offer and Tenant
shall have sixty (60) days after its receipt of the offer to agree in writing to
purchase the Premises on the same terms and conditions stated in the offer. If
Tenant does not indicate in writing its agreement to purchase the Premises on
the terms contained in the offer within said sixty (60) day period, then
Landlord thereafter shall have the right to sell the Premises to such party on
the same terms and conditions stated in the offer. If Landlord does not sell
the Premises within ninety (90) days after the expiration of said sixty (60) day
period, or if terms and conditions of the offer to purchase the Premises are
changed, then any further transaction shall be deemed a new offer to purchase
the Premises and the provisions of this paragraph shall again be applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, without Tenant's right of first
refusal, sell the Premises to Amos Weiss. Should Amos Weiss become the owner of
the Premises, and should he during the Lease Term elect to sell the Premises,
then the provisions of this Section 16 shall apply to any bona fide offer to
purchase received by Mr. Weiss.
