The Real Estate Taxes for any tax year shall mean such amounts as shall be finally determined to be the Real Estate Taxes payable during such tax year less any abatements, refunds or rebates made thereof. The parties shall make appropriate adjustments to previous amounts received by Landlord from Tenant on account of any abatements, refunds, rebates, or increases in Real Estate Taxes, immediately following the determination of the amount of such abatements, refunds, rebates, or increases.

Said invoice shall be accompanied by a computation of the amount payable. (b) If the term of this Lease shall terminate on any date other than the last day of a tax fiscal period, the amount payable by Tenant during the tax fiscal period in which such termination occurs shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days from the commencement of said tax fiscal period to and including said termination date bears to the number of days in the fiscal period. A similar proration shall be made for the tax fiscal period in which the Commencement Date occurs. (c) As used in this Article V, the term Tenant's "Share" shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the floor area of the Premises and the denominator of which shall be equal to the aggregate of the floor area of all buildings on the tax parcel on which the Building is located. Tenant shall pay the estimated Tenant's Share of Real Estate Taxes monthly, together with its payments of estimate CAM Costs (hereinafter defined), with adjustments to be made promptly after actual Real Estate Tax Costs are known. (d) The GLA of the Building will be approximately 256,592 square feet and (B) the GLA of the Park will be approximately 1,520,000 square feet, therefore, Tenant's Share of the Building will be approximately is 72.70% and Tenant's Share of the Park will be approximately 12.27%. 9 ARTICLE VI ---------- COMMON AREAS 6.1 Definition.

The parties acknowledge that, at this time, there are no indoor common areas on the Land or elsewhere in the Park. If the Land is not part of a larger business park, then the term "Park" shall refer only to the Land. Landlord shall be responsible, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, be responsible for the initial construction and installation of the Common Areas in good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all governmental requirements. 6.2 Use of Common Areas. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, its licensees, ------------------- subtenants, concessionaires, successors and assigns, and its and their employees, agents, licensees, customers, and invitees the non-exclusive right and privilege to use the Common Areas during the term hereof and any extensions of same, continuously and without interruption, in common with other tenants of the Park.

CAM Costs shall not include any Capital Expenditure, except for the amortized portion of any Capital Expenditure reasonably made for the general benefit of all tenants of the Building, which amortization shall be made over the estimated actual useful life of the improvement in question. As used herein, the term "Capital Expenditure" shall mean those expenditures which in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are capitalized as opposed to being accounted for as expenses. As used in this Article VI, the term "CAM Share" shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of square feet of GLA (which shall be measured from the outside of exterior walls and from the midpoint of demising walls) in the Premises and the denominator of which shall be equal to the aggregate of the GLA of all buildings then existing in the Park; Tenant's CAM Share shall be published to Tenant periodically. CAM Costs shall be billed monthly. Estimated CAM Costs for the first Lease Year shall be based on Landlord's good faith estimate that Tenant's CAM Share of CAM Costs, together with Tenant's Share of Real Estate Taxes, will total $1.20 per square foot of GLA for the entire first Lease Year. Landlord has calculated said estimate in good faith. In addition to the foregoing, CAM Costs shall not include (i) expenses incurred in leasing space, such as legal expenses, brokerage commissions or advertising or promotional expenses, (ii) interest and amortization under mortgages or any other secured or unsecured loan payable by Landlord, (iii) expenses separately reimbursed by any other tenants of the Park 11 (excluding reimbursements to Landlord for such tenants' prorata share of CAM Costs), (iv) financing and refinancing costs, including fees paid by Landlord to obtain financing or refinancing such as origination fees and brokerage commissions, (v) non-cash depreciation, (vi) costs incurred in connection with the enforcement of leases, including attorneys' fees or other costs and expenses incurred in connection with summary proceedings to dispossess any other tenant in the Park, (vii) any expenses associated with any special requirements of a particular tenant other than Tenant, (viii) any costs attributable to the original design or construction of the Premises, Building or Park (or any portion thereof), (ix) any costs associated with Y2K computer (and related) problems, (x) any Improvement except for a hereinafter defined Permitted Expenditure, (xi) any costs, fines, interest, penalties, legal fees or other expenses associated with violations by Landlord of any law, rule or other governmental requirement or with respect to late payment for utilities, taxes or any other service or product (except if caused by Tenant) or (xii) the cost of maintaining, repairing or replacing the roof, foundation and/or structural walls of the Premises (unless same have been damaged by Tenant's actions or inactions), Building or any other Building in the Park. For the purposes of this Lease, a "Permitted Expenditure" shall be Improvements made to the Building or lift station which are (a) primarily for the purpose of reducing operating expense costs or otherwise improving the operating efficiency of the Building or (b) required to comply with (A) any laws, rules or regulations of any governmental authority newly enacted after the date hereof or (B) any changes after the date hereof in the interpretation or enforcement of the existing laws, rules or regulations of any governmental authority. The cost of such Improvements shall be amortized over a period of not less than the useful life thereof and not more than ten (10) years and shall, at Landlord's option, include interest at the lesser of (yy) ten percent (10%) per annum or (zz) two percent over the prime rate of interest then in effect for NationsBank, N.A. The portion of the annual amortized cost to be included in CAM Costs in any calendar year with respect to a capital improvement which is intended to reduce expenses or improve the operating efficiency of the Building shall equal such annual amortized cost. At least sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of the second Lease Year and every Lease Year thereafter, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written estimate of Landlord's 12 projected CAM Costs for the forthcoming Lease Year. Within ninety (90) days after the expiration of each calendar year Landlord shall furnish Tenant a certified statement showing the CAM Costs broken down in reasonable detail, showing the items included therein, and the manner of the computation of Tenant's CAM Share for such payment and the payments made by Tenant with respect to such year. If Tenant's aggregate payments for such costs with respect to such year are greater than Tenant's CAM Share of such costs, Tenant shall receive a credit for the excess against Base Rent and other payments from Tenant next becoming due to Landlord (or refunded to Tenant, if the Term has expired); if said payments are less than said CAM Share, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference within thirty (30) days thereafter. Landlord shall retain its records relating to the CAM Costs at Landlord's principal office or that of the management company managing the Park, and upon reasonable prior notice to Landlord and the management company, Tenant shall have the right to inspect all of Landlord's records relating to such costs. Appropriate adjustments shall be made for errors in the computation of such costs revealed by such audit or inspection. If any audit by Tenant indicates an overcharge in the amount of Tenant's CAM Share by more than five percent (5%), the reasonable cost of such audit shall be paid on demand by Landlord to Tenant; otherwise the expenses of Tenant's audit shall be borne by Tenant and Tenant must reimburse Landlord for the costs charged by the management company with respect to such audit. Landlord shall retain its CAM Costs records for at least thirty-six (36) months after the expiration of each calendar year. ARTICLE VII ----------- UTILITIES 7.1 Utilities.

Any other assignment or subletting shall require Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not assign or sublet any, or all, of the Premises to any tenant (or affiliate thereof) leasing space in the Park or to any entity (or affiliate thereof) with which Landlord has discussed the prospect of leasing space in the Park, unless Tenant obtains Landlord's prior written consent which shall be at Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. No subletting or assignment shall (i) release Tenant from liability hereunder or (ii) release the guarantor of Tenant's performance under this Lease from liability under the applicable guaranty agreement.

In light of the substantial costs of replacing any portions of the Premises' HVAC system, the parties hereby agree that in the event such system requires any replacement during the last five (5) years of the Initial Term, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for the unamortized portion of such expense based on the date of installation of such equipment and the useful life of such equipment, provided that such equipment is not user specific or that such equipment is not replaced as a result of damage caused by Tenant's actions or inactions. 9.3 Alterations.

In the event that Tenant elects to self insure all or any part of any risk that would be insured under the policies and limits described above, and an event occurs where insurance proceeds would have been available but for the election to self insure, Tenant shall make funds available to the same extent that they would have been available had such insurance policy been carried by a third party insurance company; in addition, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from any losses attributed to Tenant's failure to timely make all such funds available. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions permitting Tenant's self insurance, in the event that, at any time, Landlord's lender(s) and/or the Park insurance provider(s) require that Tenant obtain the requisite insurance from a third party insurance company, Tenant shall do so. 10.3 Insurance Certificates.

In addition, Landlord and Tenant shall cause each insurance policy carried by them insuring any of the improvements on the Land or the contents thereof, to be written to provide that the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against the other party hereto (and any mortgagee of such party) in connection with any loss or damage covered by the policy. If no responsible and qualified insurer will provide a waiver of subrogation without extra charge or premium, then the insuring party shall inform the other party that such additional charge or premium is required and said other party may elect to (a) pay such extra charge or premium or (b) waive the requirement for the waiver of subrogation (in which case the waivers of claim set forth herein shall be ineffective to the extent that same would void, invalidate or otherwise vitiate any insurance coverage). In case such waiver cannot be obtained, even at an additional cost, then item (b) in the immediately preceding sentence shall become effective. Any liability insurance coverage carried by either party hereto shall name the other party and, upon request, any lender of such other party as additional insured thereunder and each party hereby waives claims arising from the other party's negligence to the extent of such insurance coverage. 10.5 Mutual Indemnification.

No insurer is meant to be a third party or other beneficiary of any provision contained in this Lease. ARTICLE XI ---------- DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION 11.1 Damage and Destruction. Except as otherwise provided herein, if the ---------------------- Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, the damage shall be promptly repaired by Landlord to the extent of the insurance proceeds available therefor, plus any deductible maintained with respect to Landlord's property insurance.

Tenant shall remain liable for any deficiency after such application. (c) to terminate this Lease, re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof. In the event Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, all rights and obligations of Landlord, and of any permitted successors or assigns, shall cease and terminate, except that Landlord shall have and retain full right to sue for and collect all rents and other amounts for the payment of which Tenant shall then be in default, and all damages to Landlord by reason of any such breach, and Tenant shall surrender and deliver up the Premises to Landlord and upon any default by Tenant in so doing, Landlord shall have the right to recover possession by summary proceedings or otherwise and to apply for the appointment of a receiver and for other ancillary relief in such action, and Landlord shall again 24 have and enjoy the Premises, fully and completely, as if this Lease had never been made.

The provisions of this Exhibit: "B" shall ---------------- have the same force and effect as if this Exhibit "B" were within the body of the Lease. However, in the event that there are any contradiction(s) between the other terms or conditions of this Lease and this Exhibit "B", the terms of this Exhibit "B" shall prevail. Section B.2 Plans and Specifications. Landlord agrees, at Landlord's sole ------------------------ cost and expense (subject to reimbursement from Tenant as set forth below if costs exceed the Tenant Allowance), to perform the work ("Landlord's Work") required to complete the Tenant improvements described on Schedule B-1 hereto ------------- (the "Tenant Improvements"). If the Tenant Improvements have not yet been agreed to, then the plans and specifications (the "Plans and Specifications") therefor shall be agreed upon as described on Schedule B-1. Landlord's Work shall be ------------ completed and the Tenant Improvements installed and constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, with new materials, according to sound engineering practice and in compliance with law. Section B.3 Tenant Allowance and Tenant Contribution. The Tenant ---------------------------------------- Improvement Allowance shall be $786,132.99. In addition, for the purposes of this Work Letter, Landlord's costs shall only include costs of the Tenant Improvements and shall not include any costs for the base Building, the Common Areas or other aspects of the Park, all of which shall be constructed by Landlord at Landlord's sole cost and expense. In the event that the cost for the Tenant Improvements (the "TI Cost") will result in a cost in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (such excess is hereinafter defined as the "Tenant Costs"), then Tenant may elect to revise the Plans and Specifications to reduce or eliminate such increase in costs; nevertheless, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the Tenant Costs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent Landlord incurs costs and expenses for matters attributable to Landlord's negligence or misconduct, Landlord shall pay all such costs, expenses and fees and all such costs, expenses and fees shall be excluded from the cost of Landlord's Work for the purposes of this Lease.

Section B.4 Commencement and Completion of Construction. Landlord shall ------------------------------------------- commence and substantially complete construction of the Landlord's Work in accordance with the Plans and Specifications with due diligence no later than the date provided for in the construction schedule subject only to force majeure. "Substantial Completion" shall mean that a certificate of occupancy or a temporary certificate of occupancy has been obtained for the Premises and that Landlord's Work is sufficiently complete so as to allow Tenant to occupy the Premises for the use and purposes intended without unreasonable disturbance or interruption; provided that Landlord, its employees, agents, and contractors, shall be allowed to enter upon the Premises at any reasonable time(s) following substantial completion as necessary to complete any unfinished details pursuant to a punchlist to be prepared by Tenant and delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the date of substantial completion. Section B.5 Bid List. Prior to commencement of Landlord's construction of -------- the Tenant Improvements, Landlord and Tenant shall have agreed in writing to a list of up to three general contractors who shall be designated as the parties from whom bids will be sought to construct the Premises ("Bid List"), which list shall be incorporated herein and attached hereto as Schedule "B-3" (the "Bid -------------- List"). Each of such contractors shall be reasonably acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant and shall have substantial experience in the general construction industry in the area where the Park is located in connection with similar such projects and shall base their bids on the form of 2 construction contract provided to such contractors. Upon agreement as to the Plans and Specifications, Landlord shall submit same to the parties on the Bid List for their respective bids, and upon receipt of such bids, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant copies thereof. Unless Tenant shall otherwise designate, the lowest bidder shall be awarded the construction contract for Landlord's Work. Tenant shall have the right to designate the contractor to which the general construction contract is to be awarded, however, in such event, Tenant shall guaranty such contractor's timely completion and delivery of the work contracted for. Tenant shall have access to all of the information available in connection with the bids submitted in accordance with this Section B.5. Landlord shall notify Tenant prior to opening sealed bids and Tenant shall have the right to be present when such bids are opened. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may provide the bid that Landlord and Tenant have otherwise agreed to accept (the "Pending Approved Bid") to the base Building contractor and, in the event that the Base building contractor bids or revises its prior bid to match, or be less than the Pending Approved Bid, Landlord shall be entitled to select the base Building contractor's bid, in lieu of the Pending Approved Bid. Section B.6 Delivery of Possession of the Premises. Landlord shall deliver -------------------------------------- possession of the Premises to Tenant with the Tenant Improvements substantially completed and a permanent or temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises no later than the Commencement Date. As of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall have completed the Common Areas necessary for the operation of the Premises for the use contemplated hereunder (i.e. roads providing access to and from the Premises, parking for the Premises, and utilities to the Premises). Section B.7 Delays. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the ------ Base Rent under the Lease shall be abated one day for each day the Commencement Date is delayed (excluding force majeure delays) by Landlord's failure to complete the Tenant Improvements (but not to the extent the delay is caused by Tenant and not in the event that Tenant designates the contractor to which the contract was awarded). This provision is not intended to limit Tenant's rights and remedies specified in the Lease, including, without limitation, those rights specified in this Work Letter. Section B.8 Workmanlike Manner, Information to Tenant. Landlord agrees to ----------------------------------------- ensure that all work to be done by Landlord 3 on the Premises is performed in a good and workmanlike manner. During the course of Landlord's construction, Landlord shall keep Tenant apprised of the progress of same, shall provide copies of existing reports and other documents relating to same upon request and shall permit Tenant to make such inspections and audits as Tenant may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate. Section B.9 Tenant Delays. Tenant shall be responsible for any delay ------------- (including associated costs) in the substantial completion of the Premises resulting from any of the following causes: (i) Tenant's failure to pay any portion of Tenant's Costs, as hereinafter defined, when due; or (ii) Tenant's specification of special materials or finishes, or special installations, which special items cannot be delivered or completed within Landlord's construction schedule (subject to Landlord's obligation to give Tenant prior notice of same at the time of such specification); or (iii) any change in the space plan and/or the plans and specifications caused by Tenant, even though Landlord may approve such change (Landlord agrees to estimate the delay to be caused by a change order, provided Tenant expressly requests such estimate at the time it requests a change order); or (iv) any other delay in substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements directly attributable to the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Tenant, its employees, or agents. If any delay caused by Tenant results in or contributes to a delay in substantial completion of the Premises, then substantial completion shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date Landlord would have otherwise achieved substantial completion, but for Tenant's delay. Landlord will specify in writing to Tenant the Tenant delay(s) which resulted in or contributed to a delay in substantial completion of the Premises. Section B.10 Tenant Costs. To the extent that the plans and specifications ------------ reflect the scope of work described by the space plan, then Landlord, at its expense not to exceed the Tenant Improvement Allowance set forth above, shall cause the 4 construction of the Tenant Improvements, using Landlord's building-standard methods and materials as modified by Tenant's pre-approved modifications to plans and specifications. To the extent that the revised construction budget exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance any such excess will be at Tenants expense ("Tenant's Costs"). Tenant's Costs shall be paid to Landlord as follows: (i) Prior to commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to fifty (50%) percent of the Tenant's Costs, as such amount is then determined by reference to the construction budget. (ii) When fifty (50%) of the Tenant Improvements are complete in accordance with the plans and specifications (as verified in writing by Landlord's architect), Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of Tenant's Costs as such amount can then be reasonably determined by Landlord based on available information. (iii) Within ten (10) days following Landlord's submittal to Tenant of a final accounting of Tenant's Costs, Tenant shall pay Landlord the then remaining balance of Tenant's Costs, or Landlord shall reimburse Tenant as to any excess amounts previously paid, as the case may be. Tenant's Costs represent a reimbursement of monies expended by Landlord on Tenant's behalf. Payment when due shall be a condition to Landlord's continued performance under this Work Letter. Any delay in construction of the Tenant Improvements or in Tenant taking occupancy of the Premises resulting from Tenant's failure to make any Tenant's Costs payments when due shall be Tenant's responsibility. Tenant's failure to pay any portion of Tenant's Costs when due shall constitute a default under the Lease (subject to any applicable notice requirements or grace periods). 5 EXHIBIT "C" RENT SCHEDULE MOHAWK TENANT MOHAWK INDUSTRIES SQUARE FOOTAGE 186,537 ANNUAL INFLATOR ("A") 3.00% ANNUAL INFLATOR ("B") 2.00% ANNUAL INFLATOR ("C") RATE PER SF $5.20 ANNUAL MONTHLY BASE RENT BASE RENT YEAR 1 $5.20 $ 969,992.40 $ 80,832.70 YEAR 2 $5.36 $ 999,092.17 $ 83,257.68 YEAR 3 $5.52 $l,029,064.94 $ 85,755.41 YEAR 4 $5.63 $1,049,646.24 $ 87,470.52 YEAR 5 $5.74 $1,070,639.16 $ 89,219.93 YEAR 6 $5.85 $1,092,051.94 $ 91,004.33 YEAR 7 $5.97 $1,113,892.98 $ 92,824.42 YEAR 8 $6.09 $1,136,170.84 $ 94,680.90 YEAR 9 $6.21 $1,158,894.26 $ 96,574.52 YEAR 10 $6.21 $1,158,894.26 $ 96,574.52 OPTION YEARS IF APPLICABLE YEAR 11 6.21 $1,158,894.26 $ 96,574.52 YEAR 12 6.40 $1,193,661.09 $ 99,471.76 YEAR 13 6.59 $1,229,470.92 $102,455.91 YEAR 14 6.79 $1,266,355.05 $105,529.59 YEAR 15 6.79 $1,266,355.05 $105,529.59 YEAR 16 6.99 $1,304,345.70 $108,695.47 YEAR 17 7.20 $1,343,476.07 $111,956.34 YEAR 18 7.42 $1,383,780.35 $115,315.03 YEAR 19 7.64 $1,425,293.76 $118,774.48 YEAR 20 7.87 $1,468,052.58 $122,337.71 EXHIBIT "D" PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS [To be provided by Landlord] SENECA INDUSTRIAL PARK ---------------------- RULES AND REGULATIONS --------------------- 1.
