Landlord as rent for the Demised Premises ("Net Rent") the amount of One Hundred
Ninety-Two Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($192,000) per annum, in equal monthly
installments of $16,000. If Sandvick Associates, Inc. fails to substantially
complete the construction of Tenant's new corporate headquarters in Bethel,

or at such other address as Landlord may designate by notice.
(b) Tenant and Sandvick Associates, Inc. have entered into a
certain Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Design/Builder with respect
to the construction of Tenant's new corporate headquarters. If the completion
date under such Design/Build Agreement is extended as a result of authorized
adjustments or delays not caused by Sandvick Associates, Inc., then the July 1,
1997 date set forth above for commencement of a rent penalty shall be extended
by the number of days the completion date under the Design/Build Agreement is
extended.
2.02 In addition to Net Rent, all other amounts which Tenant may become

2.03 If Tenant shall fail to pay any Net Rent or additional rent within
fifteen days after the due date thereof, the late payment shall be subject to a
late charge of five percent (5%) of the overdue amount.
2.04 It is the purpose and intent of Landlord and Tenant that the Net

Lease, and that all costs, expenses and obligations of every kind and nature
whatsoever, relating to the Demised Premises which may arise or become due
during or out of the term of this Lease shall be paid by Tenant, and that
Landlord shall be indemnified and saved harmless by Tenant from and against the
same.
ARTICLE 3
Insurance; Nonliability; Indemnity
3.01 Throughout the term of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and
expense, but for the mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant and such other party
or parties as may be designated by Landlord as named insureds as their interests
may appear, shall maintain: (a) standard Comprehensive General Liability
Insurance covering the Demised Premises on an occurrence basis with minimum
limits of liability in an amount of not less than $3,000,000 combined single
limit, and with respect to damage to property including water damage and
sprinkler leakage legal liability arising out of any one occurrence, which
insurance shall contain products/completed operations coverage and which
insurance shall be primary; and (b) such other insurance, and in such greater
amounts as may from time to time be reasonably required by Landlord against the
same and/or other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured
against in the case of premises similarly situated and utilized.
3.02 Tenant may effect for its own account any insurance not required
under the provisions of this Lease, but any insurance effected by Tenant on the
Demised Premises, whether or not required under this Article, shall be for the
mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant and shall be subject to all other
provisions of this Article.
3.03 (a) All insurance provided for in this Article shall be effected
under valid and enforceable policies issued by insurers of recognized
responsibility which are licensed to do business in the State of Connecticut,
are well rated by national rating organizations, and have been approved in
writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. On or
before the occupancy of any part of the Demised Premises, and thereafter not
less than 30 days prior to the expiration dates of the expiring policies
theretofore furnished pursuant to this Article, or any other Article of this
Lease, originals of the policies bearing notations evidencing the payment of
premiums or accompanied by
3
4
other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of such payments, shall be
delivered by Tenant to Landlord. All such policies shall contain a provision to
the effect that the same will be noncancellable except upon 30 days written
notice to Landlord and the holder of any mortgage on the Demised Premises.
Landlord and Tenant waive their right to recover damages against each other for
any reason whatsoever to the extent the damaged party recovers indemnity from
its insurance carrier. Any insurance policy procured by a party with respect to
the Demised Premises or its property therein which does not name the other party
as an additional insured shall contain a waiver of subrogation or permission to
waive claims. All public liability and property damage policies shall contain a
severability of interest clause.

from liability for loss or damage to the Building that is covered by Landlord's
casualty insurance with respect to the Building, or, if Landlord fails to
maintain replacement cost "all risk" casualty insurance with respect to the
Building, would have been covered by such insurance. This release shall not be
limited to the liability of Tenant or Tenant's employees or agents to Landlord;
it shall also apply to Tenant's or Tenant's agents' or employees' liability to
any person claiming through or under Landlord pursuant to a right of subrogation
or otherwise. This release shall apply even if the loss or damage shall have
been caused by the fault or negligence of Tenant or Tenant's agents or
employees.
3.04 If at any time during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall
request that the amount of insurance provided by Tenant, as required by this
Article, be increased on the ground that such coverage is inadequate properly to
protect the interest of Landlord, or if Landlord shall require other insurance
pursuant to subsection 3.02(b), and Tenant shall refuse to comply with any such
request or requirement, the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration as
provided in Article 21 hereof. Tenant shall thereafter carry the amount, and
such kind, of insurance as determined by such arbitration to be adequate and
required, but in no event shall the amount of insurance be less than the amount
specified in Section 3.02.
3.05 (a) Landlord shall have the right, at its expense, to maintain any
additional insurance with respect to the Demised Premises not required under

Landlord's employees and agents harmless from, any and all demands, claims,

Demised Premises by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant; (b) any
activity, work or thing done, or permitted or suffered by Tenant on or about the
Demised Premises; (c) any acts, omissions, or negligence of Tenant or any person
claiming under Tenant, or the contractors, agents, employees, invitees,

agents, contractors, invitees, customers or visitors of Tenant or any such
person of any term, covenant or provision of this Lease or any legal
requirements or requirements of governmental authorities; or (e) (except for
loss of use of all or any portion of the Demised Premises or Tenant's property
located within the Demised Premises which is proximately caused by or results
proximately from the negligence of Landlord or Landlord's employees or agents),
any injury or damage to the person, property or business of Tenant, its
employees, agents, contractors, invitees, customers, visitors or any other
person entering upon the Demised Premises under the express or implied
invitation of Tenant. If any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord or
Landlord's employees or agents by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice
from Landlord, will defend the claim at Tenant's expense with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord.
3.08 Tenant shall give Landlord notice in case of fire or accidents in
the Demised Premises, which notice shall be given promptly after Tenant becomes
aware of any such event.

the Demised Premises for the satisfaction of any right or remedy of Tenant or

this Lease, and no other property or assets of Landlord or any partner,
shareholder or member of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution,
attachment or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant's
remedies under or with respect to this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and

other liability of Landlord to Tenant hereunder.

losing party shall pay to the prevailing party all reasonable expenses and court
costs including attorneys' fees incurred by the prevailing party. A party shall
be considered the prevailing party if:

(b) If this Lease be assigned or the Demised Premises be sublet
in whole or in part, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except as herein
expressly provided;
(c) Tenant vacates or abandons the Demised Premises;
(d) This Lease or the Demised Premises or any part of the
Demised Premises are taken upon execution or by other process of law directed
against Tenant, or are taken upon or subjected to any attachment by any creditor
of Tenant or claimant against Tenant, and such attachment is not discharged
within 45 days after its levy;
(e) Tenant files a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for
reorganization or arrangement under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or
under any insolvency act of any state, or is dissolved, or makes an assignment
for the benefit of creditors;
(f) Involuntary proceedings under any such bankruptcy laws or
insolvency act or for the dissolution of Tenant are instituted against Tenant,
or a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or substantially all of Tenant's
property, and such proceeding is not dismissed or such receivership or
trusteeship is not vacated within forty-five (45) days after such institution or
appointment; or
(g) Tenant breaches any of the other agreements, terms,
covenants or conditions which this Lease requires Tenant to observe or perform,
and such breach continues for 30 days after written notice by Landlord to
Tenant; provided, however, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such
30 day period, an Event of Default shall not have occurred if Tenant promptly
commences a cure of the default and diligently prosecutes the same to
completion.
12.02 If any one or more of the Events of Default set forth in Section
12.01 above occurs, then Landlord may elect the alternatives set forth in
subsections (a) or (b) below as follows:
(a) Landlord may terminate this Lease by service of a Notice to
Quit and recover all amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment
proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform or observe its obligations
under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course would be likely to result from
such failure, including, but not limited to, the following:
14
15
(i) all unpaid Net Rent, Additional Rent and other sums and
charges reserved under this Lease (collectively, "Rent") and allocable to the
period through the date of Lease termination;
(ii) a sum equal to the amount of Rent that would have been
payable by Tenant for the remainder of the term of this Lease had this Lease not
been terminated less the Rent received by Landlord on account of any reletting
of all or any part of the Demised Premises (either by themselves or as part of
larger or different space); provided, however, that if the Demised Premises are
relet for an amount that exceeds the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease,
Tenant shall not be entitled to payment of, or a credit or set-off for, such
excess amount;
(iii) all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in performing
any repairs, replacements or demolition and removal work which Tenant was
obligated to perform under the Lease and failed to perform; and
(iv) all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in reletting
the Demised Premises, including, without limitation, advertising expenses,
brokerage commissions, leasehold demolition and improvements and/or demolition
and improvement allowances, rent concessions and legal fees; or
(b) Landlord may elect not to terminate this Lease, and continue
to hold Tenant liable for the Rent, as it accrues. In such event, Landlord: (i)
shall have no obligation whatsoever to mitigate damages, (ii) may bring one
action or periodic actions to collect the Rent, and (iii) may, at its option,
thereafter elect to terminate the Lease in accordance with subsection (a) above.
12.03 Landlord shall not be deemed to have elected to terminate this
Lease unless Landlord serves a Notice to Quit as set forth in subsection
12.02(a) above.
12.04 In the event of a termination under subsection 12.02(a) above,
real estate taxes (to the extent the same are payable by Tenant as Additional
Rent under this Lease), for the period from the date of termination through the
end of the Lease term, shall be calculated at the rates or amounts in effect on
the date of termination, assuming a five percent (5%) per annum escalation
thereafter.
12.05 In the event suit shall be brought for recovery of possession of
the Demised Premises, for the recovery of Rent, or any other amount due under
the provisions of this Lease, for the recovery of damages following termination
of this Lease, or because of the breach of any other covenant contained in this
Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed, Tenant shall pay the
Landlord all reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith,
15
16
including, but not limited to, Landlord's attorneys' fees and disbursements.
12.06 (a) The parties waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim brought by either party against the other on any matter whatsoever
arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of
landlord and tenant created hereby, Tenant's use or occupancy of the Demised
Premises, or any claim for injury or damage.
(b) In the event of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of
any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to
injunctive relief and declaratory relief as if no other remedies were provided
herein for such breach.
(c) Suit or suits for the recovery of the Rent and other amounts
and damages set forth in this Article may be brought by Landlord, from time to
time, at Landlord's election, and nothing in this Lease will be deemed to
require Landlord to await the date on which the term of this Lease expires. Each
right and remedy in this Lease will be cumulative and will be in addition to
every other right or remedy in this Lease or existing at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise, including, without limitation, suits for injunctive relief
and specific performance. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord
of any such rights or remedies will not preclude the simultaneous or later
exercise by Landlord of any other such rights or remedies. All such rights and
remedies are cumulative and nonexclusive.
(d) Tenant hereby expressly waives any right to assert a defense
based on merger and agrees that neither the commencement of any action or
proceeding, nor the settlement thereof nor the entry of judgment therein shall
bar Landlord from bringing any subsequent actions or proceedings from time to
time.
(e) Any provision of this Lease which requires Landlord not to
unreasonably withhold its consent shall never be the basis for an award of
damages or give rise to a right of setoff on Tenant's behalf, but may be the
basis for a declaratory judgment or specific injunction with respect to the
matter in question.
ARTICLE 13
Quiet Enjoyment
13.01 Tenant, upon performing and observing all of the terms, covenants
and condition of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed and observed, shall
peaceably and quietly have and enjoy the Demised Premises during the term of
this Lease, subject, nevertheless, to the terms of this Lease and to any
mortgages and encumbrances to which this Lease is or may be subordinate.
16
17
ARTICLE 14
Surrender of Premises
14.01 Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this
Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Demised Premises, broom clean, in as
good condition and repair as Tenant is required to maintain the same throughout
the term of this Lease, together with all keys. If Tenant shall fail to remove
any of Tenant's property at the Demised Premises, such property shall, at the
option of Landlord, either be deemed abandoned and become the exclusive property
of Landlord, or Landlord shall have the right to remove and store such property,
at the expense of Tenant, and hold Tenant responsible for any and all charges
and expenses incurred by Landlord therefor. If the Demised Premises are not
surrendered as and when aforesaid, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and hold
Landlord harmless against all loss, cost, expense or liability (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), resulting
from the delay by Tenant in so surrendering the same including, without
limitation, any claims made by any succeeding occupant founded on such delay.
Tenant's obligations under this Article shall survive the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 15
Holding Over
Should Tenant remain in possession of the Demised Premises after the
expiration of the term hereof without the execution of a new lease, such holding
over, in the absence of a written agreement to the contrary, shall be deemed to
have created and be construed to be a tenancy from month to month terminable on
thirty days' notice by either party to the other, at a monthly Net Rent of 125%
of the Net Rent in effect upon the expiration of the term, subject to all the
other terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease insofar as the same are
applicable to a month to month tenancy.
ARTICLE 16
Broker
Tenant represents and warrants that no real estate broker or salesman
interested Tenant in the Demised Premises. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord
against and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, cost, damage, expense or
liability incurred by Landlord with respect to any real estate broker or
salesman claiming to have interested or having been responsible for Tenant's
execution of this Lease, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs of
defending against any such claims.
17
18
ARTICLE 17
No Waiver
The failure of Landlord to insist upon the strict performance of any
provision of this Lease, or the failure of Landlord to exercise any right,
option or remedy hereby reserved shall not be construed as a waiver for the
future of any such provision, right, option or remedy or as a waiver of a
subsequent breach thereof. The consent or approval by Landlord of any act by
Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not be construed to waive
or render unnecessary the requirement for Landlord's consent or approval of any
subsequent similar act by Tenant. The receipt by Landlord of rent or other
charges or sums with knowledge of a breach of any provision of this Lease shall
not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be
deemed to have been waived unless such waiver shall be in writing signed by the
party to be charged. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser
amount than the rents, charges and other sums hereby reserved shall be deemed to
be other than on account of the earliest rents, charges and other sums then
unpaid, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter
accompanying any check or payment by Tenant be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Landlord's right to recover the balance of such rents, charges and other sums
due, or Landlord may pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided or by law
permitted.
ARTICLE 18
Notices
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, every notice, demand,
consent, approval, request or other communication which may be or is required to
be given under this Lease or by law shall be in writing and shall be sent either
by United States Certified Mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or
by Federal Express or another nationally recognized overnight courier service,
and shall be addressed or delivered, as the case may be to the parties at their
respective addresses set forth above, and the same shall be deemed delivered
upon receipt or refusal of delivery. Either party may designate, by similar
written notice to the other party, any other address for notice purposes.
ARTICLE 19
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
19.01 The term "Hazardous Substances," as used in this Lease, shall
include, without limitation, flammables, explosives, radioactive materials,
asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chemicals known to cause cancer or
reproductive toxicity, pollutants, contaminants, hazardous wastes, toxic
substances or related materials, petroleum and petroleum products, and
substances
18

(a) Any violation of any federal, state, or local law,
ordinance, or regulation now or hereafter enacted, related to environmental
conditions on, under, or about the Demised Premises, or arising from Tenant's
use or occupancy of the Demised Premises, including, but not limited to, soil
and ground water conditions; or
(b) The use, generation, release, manufacture, refining,
production, processing, storage, or disposal of any Hazardous Substance on,
under, or about the Demised Premises, or the transportation to or from the
Demised Premises of any Hazardous Substance, except as specifically disclosed on
Schedule I to this Lease.
19.03 (a) Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, comply with
all laws regulating use, generation, storage, transportation, or disposal of
Hazardous Substances ("Laws").
(b) Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, make all
submissions to, provide all information required by, and comply with all
requirements of all governmental authorities (the "Authorities") under the Laws.
(c) Should any Authority or any third party demand that a
cleanup plan be prepared and that a clean-up be undertaken because of any
deposit, spill, discharge, or other release of Hazard Substances that occurred
at any time during Tenant's occupancy of the Demised Premises, either prior to
or during the term of this Lease at or from the Demised Premises, or which
arises at any time from Tenant's use or occupancy of the Demised Premises, then
Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole costs and expense, prepare and submit the
required plans and all related bonds and other financial assurances; and Tenant
shall carry out all such cleanup plans.
(d) Tenant shall promptly provide all information regarding
the use, generation, storage, transportation, or disposal of Hazardous
Substances that is required by Landlord. If Tenant fails to fulfill any duty
imposed under this Section within a reasonable time, Landlord may do so; and in
such case, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in order to prepare all
documents Landlord deems necessary or appropriate to determine the applicability
of the Laws to the Demised Premises and Tenant's use thereof, and for compliance
therewith, and Tenant shall execute all documents promptly upon Landlord's
request. No such action by Landlord and no attempt made by Landlord to mitigate
damages under any Law shall constitute a waiver of any of Tenant's obligations
under this Section.
19
20
(e) Tenant's obligations and liabilities under this Section
shall survive the expiration of this Lease.
19.04 (a) Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord
and its members, agents, and employees from all fines, suits, procedures,
claims, liability and actions of every kind, and all costs associated therewith
(including attorneys' and consultants' fees) arising out of or in any way
connected with any deposit, spill, discharge, or other release of Hazardous
Substances that occurred or occurs during Tenant's occupancy of the Demised
Premises, either prior to or during the term of this Lease, at or from the
Demised Premises, or which arises at any time from Tenant's use or occupancy of
the Demised Premises, or from Tenant's failure to provide all information, make
all submissions, and take all steps required by all Authorities under the Laws
and all other environmental laws.
(b) Tenant's obligations and liabilities under this Section
shall survive the expiration of this Lease.
ARTICLE 20
ARBITRATION
20.01 Landlord and Tenant shall not have been deemed to have agreed to
determination of any dispute arising out of this Lease by arbitration unless
determination in such manner shall have been specifically and unequivocally
provided for in this Lease and in no other case or cases.
20.02 Every dispute between the parties which is expressly provided in
this Lease to be determined by arbitration shall be resolved in the manner
provided in this Article.
20.03 The party requesting arbitration shall do so by giving notice to
that effect to the other party and shall simultaneously request the appointment
of a single arbitrator by the American Arbitration Association (or any successor
thereto) in accordance with its rules then prevailing, or, if the American
Arbitration Association (or such successor organization) shall fail to appoint
said arbitrator within sixty (60) days after such request is made, then either
party may apply, on notice to the other, to any court having jurisdiction for
the appointment of such arbitrator and the other party shall not raise any
question as to such court's full power to entertain the application and make the
appointment. Each arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section shall be a
disinterested person having at least ten years experience in the State of
Connecticut in a calling connected with the dispute.
20.04 The arbitrator shall render his or her decision and award within
30 days after the final hearing. Such decision and award shall be in writing and
counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to each of the parties. In
rendering such decision and
20
21
award, the arbitrator shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the
provisions of this Lease. Judgment may be entered on the determination and award
made by the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction and may be
enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Connecticut.
20.05 If, for any reason whatsoever, the written decision and award of
the arbitrator shall not be rendered within the time limit set forth in Section
20.04, either party may apply to any court having jurisdiction, by action,
proceeding or otherwise (but not by a new arbitration proceeding) as may be
proper to determine the question in dispute consistently with the provisions of
this Lease.
20.06 The arbitrator shall determine the division, if any, between the
parties, of the expenses of the arbitration, including fees to the arbitrators,
counsel and witness fees.
ARTICLE 21
Taxes and Insurance Costs
21.01 The term "Taxes" shall mean the total of all real estate and other
taxes and special, general, extraordinary or other assessments, sewer rents,
water charges, occupancy taxes, school taxes, and other taxes or charges of any
kind or nature levied, assessed, imposed or attributable at any time by any
governmental authority (including, without limitation, any town, city, district,
county, village, school district or public transportation authority) upon or
against the Demised Premises, and also any tax, assessment, or charge, levied,
assessed or imposed at any time by any governmental authority in connection with
the receipt of income or rents from the Demised Premises to the extent that the
same shall be in lieu of all or any portion of any of the aforesaid taxes,
assessments or charges. If, due to a future change in the method of taxation or
in the taxing authority, or for any other reason, a franchise, income, transit,
profit or other tax or governmental imposition, however, designated, shall be
levied against Landlord in substitution in whole or in part for the Taxes, then
such franchise, income, transit, profit or other tax or governmental imposition
shall be deemed to be included within the definition of "Taxes" for the purposes
of this Article. As to special assessments which are payable over a period of
time extending beyond the term of this Lease, only a pro rata portion thereof,
covering the portion of the term of this Lease unexpired at the time of the
imposition of such assessment, shall be included in Taxes.
21.02 Tenant shall pay all Taxes directly to the taxing authority on or
before the due date of the required payments. Any failure to pay any Taxes in a
timely manner shall be deemed a failure to pay rent under this Lease. If Tenant
fails to pay any Taxes on or before the due date thereof, Landlord may, but
shall
21
22
not be obligated to, pay such Taxes and notify Tenant of the same. Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for any such payment, as additional rent, within ten (10)
days after receipt of any such statement. Landlord, at its option, may pay all
Taxes and bill Tenant for the same. Any such bills shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord, as additional rent, within ten (10) days after receipt by Tenant.
21.03 Within ten days after demand, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
the cost of all insurance premiums incurred by Landlord to maintain casualty
insurance with respect to the Building, including a rental interruption
endorsement.
ARTICLE 22
Extension of Lease Term
If the construction of Tenant's new corporate headquarters in Bethel,
Connecticut has not been completed, and Tenant has not moved to such new
headquarters on or before June 30, 1997, then Tenant may, by written notice to
Landlord on or before June 30, 1997, extend the term of this Lease on all the
same terms and conditions set forth herein, for a period of one month. For so
long as the construction of Tenant's new corporate headquarters has not been
completed and Tenant has not moved to such headquarters, Tenant shall have the
option of extending the term of this Lease for successive periods of one month
each upon written notice to Landlord on or before the expiration of the then
current month. In no event may Tenant extend the term of this Lease in excess of
one full calendar month following the calendar month in which the construction
of Tenant's new corporate headquarters is completed.
ARTICLE 23

party to be charged. The Article captions appearing herein are inserted as a
matter of convenience and are not intended to define, construe or describe the

person or circumstance shall be held void or unenforceable, then the remainder
of this Lease or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances
other than those as
22
23

23.04 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all the
terms, covenants conditions and provisions of this Lease shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute
one and the same instrument.

of the State of Connecticut.
