NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared by the Company without audit, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules
and regulations applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. These
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the LanVision Systems,
Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K, Commission File Number 0-28132. Operating
results for the three months ended April 30, 2000, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
January 31, 2001.
Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is presented
beginning on page 20 of its 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders. Users of
financial information for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the
footnotes contained in the Annual Report to Stockholders when reviewing interim
financial results. There has been no material change in the accounting policies
followed by the Company during 2000.
Note 3 - CHANGES IN BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNT BALANCES
The increase in cash and cash equivalents results primarily from the sale of the
data center (discussed below) and the collection of accounts receivable
subsequent to January 31, 2000.
The note receivable, in the amount of $750,000, represents the remaining balance
of a $900,000 note received from the buyer of the data center, and is payable
$75,000 per month, plus interest on the unpaid balance, through February, 2001.
The decrease in accounts receivables, net is due to lower revenues in the
current quarter compared to the prior quarter ended January 31, 2000 and the
collection, during the first quarter, of receivables outstanding at January 31,
2000.
7
8
Other current assets consist of software and hardware awaiting installation
(related to unrecognized revenue) and prepaid expenses, including commissions.
Other current assets increased primarily due to an advance to a vendor.
The decrease in property and equipment, net, is the result of the sale of the
Company's data center on February 11, 2000 for $2,000,000 in cash and a $900,000
note receivable. The sale generated a gain of approximately $1,400,000. The
Company simultaneously entered into a service provider agreement with the buyer
to continue to use the data center on a fee for service basis.
Other non-current assets consist primarily of prepaid long-term debt closing
costs, which are amortized to expense over the life of the loan.
The decrease in accounts payable is due to the payment, subsequent to January
31, 2000, of year end purchases.
The decrease in accrued compensation results from a reduction in headcount
during the first quarter and the payment of year end bonuses.
Note 4 - STOCK OPTIONS
During the first three months of the current fiscal year, the Company granted
195,000 stock options under the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan at an exercise
price of $1.50 per share. During the same period 68,500 options were forfeited
under all plans.
Note 5 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation, includes the effect
of the common stock equivalents (stock options) in fiscal year 2000, but
excludes such common stock equivalents in fiscal 1999, as the inclusion thereof
would be antidilutive.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
LanVision is an e-Health Application Service Provider and leading supplier of
Healthcare Information Access Systems specializing in connectivity solutions
that utilize the power of the Internet/Intranet to link hospitals, physicians,
patients and payers to a robust Electronic Medical Record. The Company's
products are complementary to existing clinical and financial systems, and use
document imaging and workflow tools to ensure end users can electronically
access all the various forms of healthcare information including clinician's
handwritten notes, lab reports, photographs, insurance cards, etc. LanVision's
e-Health solutions offer value to all of the constituents in the healthcare
delivery process by enabling them to simultaneously access information from
virtually any location, including the physician's desktop using Web browser
technology. Web access to the entire medical record improves physician
productivity and reduces administrative costs such as filing, storage, retrieval
and upkeep of medical records and clinical costs, such as redundant diagnostic
testing. The system enables healthcare providers to access, on a real-time
basis, all the various forms of clinical and financial patient information from
a single permanent healthcare information repository. The Company's solutions
integrate a proprietary document imaging platform, application suites, and image
and Web-enabling tools, that allow for the seamless merger of "back office"
functionality with existing Clinical Information Systems at the desktop. The
Company offers a robust document imaging/management infrastructure (Foundation
Suite) that is built for high volume transaction processing and is optimized for
the healthcare industry. In addition to providing the clinician access to
information not previously available at the desktop, the Company's applications
fulfill the administrative and legal needs of the Medical Records and Patient
Financial Services departments. Furthermore, these systems have been
specifically designed to integrate with any Clinical Information System. For
example, the Company has integrated its products with selected systems from
Shared Medical Systems Corporation, Cerner Corporation, IDX Systems Corporation,
and Oacis Healthcare Holdings Corp. By offering electronic access to all the
components of the Medical Record, this integration completes one of the most
difficult tasks necessary to provide a true Computer Based Patient Record. The
Company's systems deliver on-line enterprisewide access to fully-updated patient
information which historically was maintained on a variety of media, including
paper, magnetic disk, optical disk, x-ray film, video, audio and microfilm.
9
10
Historically, the Company has derived its revenues from system sales involving
the licensing of its Electronic Medical Record solution to Integrated Healthcare
Delivery Networks ("IDN"). In a typical transaction, the Company enters into a
perpetual license or service fee arrangement for the Company's Electronic
Medical Record software suite and licenses, sells or offers a service fee
arrangement for other third party software and hardware components to the IDN.
Additionally, the Company provides professional services, including
implementation, training and product support.
With respect to systems sales, the Company earns its highest margins on
proprietary LanVision software and the lowest margins on third-party hardware.
Systems sales to customers may include different configurations of software and
hardware, resulting in varying margins among contracts. The margins on
professional services revenues are expected to fluctuate based upon the
negotiated terms of the agreement with each customer and the Company's ability
to fully utilize its professional services, maintenance and support services
staff.
Beginning in 1998, the Company began offering customers the ability to obtain
its Electronic Medical Record solution on a service bureau/e-Health basis. The
Company's Virtual Healthware Services ("VHS") division established a centralized
data center and installed the Company's Electronic Medical Record suite within
the data center. Under this arrangement, customers electronically capture
information and transmit the data to the centralized data center. The VHS
division stores and manages the data using LanVision's Electronic Medical Record
suite, and customers can view, print or fax the information from anywhere using
the LanVision Web-based applications.
VHS charges and recognizes revenue for these e-Health services on a per
transaction or subscription basis as information is captured, stored, and
retrieved.
In February, 2000, the Company sold its centralized data center for $2,900,000.
Simultaneous therewith, the Company entered into a service agreement with the
buyer. Under the terms of this service agreement, in exchange for processing
fees, the Company will continue to use the data center to provide outsourcing
services to LanVision's current and future customers. Although LanVision sold
the data center assets, the Company does intend to continue to market its
e-Health solutions. The Company will provide these solutions by continuing to
use the data center and by using other data center service providers.
The decision by a healthcare provider to replace, substantially modify or
upgrade its information systems is a strategic decision and often involves a
large capital commitment requiring an extended approval process. Since
inception, the Company has experienced extended sales cycles, which has
adversely affected revenues. It is common for sales cycles to take six to
eighteen months from initial contact to the execution of an agreement. As a
result, the sales cycles can cause significant variations in quarter to quarter
operating results. These agreements cover the entire implementation of the
system and specify the implementation schedule, which typically takes place in
one or more phases. The agreements generally provide for the licensing of the
Company's proprietary software and third-party software with a one-time
perpetual license fee that is adjusted depending on the number of workstations
using the software. Third-party hardware is usually sold outright, with a
one-time fee charged for installation and training. Site-specific customization,
interfaces with existing customer systems and other consulting services are sold
on a fixed fee or a time and
10
11
materials basis. Alternatively, with the Company's e-Health services, the
agreements generally provide for utilizing the Company's software and third
party software on a fee per transaction or subscription basis.
Generally, revenue from systems sales is recognized when an agreement is signed
and products are shipped. Revenue recognition related to routine installation,
integration and project management is deferred until the work is performed. If
an agreement requires the Company to perform services and modifications that are
deemed significant to system acceptance, revenue is recorded either on the
percentage-of-completion method or revenue related to the delivered hardware and
software components is deferred until such obligations are deemed insignificant,
depending on the contractual terms. Revenues from consulting, training and
services are recognized as the services are performed. Revenues from short-term
support and maintenance agreements are recognized ratably over the term of the
agreements. Billings to customers recorded prior to the recognition of the
revenue are classified as deferred revenues. Revenue recognized prior to
progress billings to customers is recorded as unbilled receivables.
The Company's VHS e-Health/Application Service Provider division was designed to
overcome obstacles in the buying decision such as large capital commitment,
length of implementation, and the scarcity of time for Healthcare Information
Systems personnel to implement new systems. Customers pay for such services on a
transaction basis, and the centralized data center application is operated and
maintained by LanVision personnel and/or its agents. In 1999, VHS signed a
four-year contract with The Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati, a group of
five hospitals in the Greater Cincinnati Area, to provide outsourced data center
operations of its LanVision Electronic Medical Record System. Management
believes more IDN's will begin to look for this type of e-Health application.
Additionally, the Company believes its business model is especially well suited
for the ambulatory marketplace. LanVision is actively pursuing remarketing
agreements with Healthcare Information Systems providers to distribute the
Company's e-Health solutions.
In 1998, the Company entered into a Remarketing Agreement with Shared Medical
Systems Corporation ("SMS"). Under the terms of the agreement, SMS was granted
an exclusive worldwide license to distribute ChartVision(R), On-Line Chart
Completion(TM), WebView(TM) and Enterprisewide Correspondence(TM) to the SMS
customer base and prospect base, as defined in the agreement, and a
non-exclusive license to distribute all other LanVision products. If SMS
distributes any other Electronic Medical Record product competing with
LanVision's products, the Company may terminate the SMS Remarketing Agreement.
Under the terms of the agreement, SMS remits royalties to LanVision based upon
SMS sublicensing the Company's software to SMS's customers. Twenty-five percent
of the royalty is due 30 days following the end of the quarter in which SMS
executes the end user license agreement with its customer. LanVision recognizes
this revenue upon receipt of the royalty statement. The remaining 75% of the
royalty is due upon SMS's shipment of software to the end user. LanVision
records this revenue when the 75% payment due from SMS is fixed and
determinable, which is generally when the software is shipped to the end user.
Through April 31, 2000, SMS has sold nine systems to end-users.
11
12
UNEVEN PATTERNS OF QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS
The Company's revenues from systems sales have varied, and may continue to vary,
significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of the volume and timing of
systems sales and delivery. Professional services revenues also fluctuate from
quarter to quarter as a result of the timing of the installation of software and
hardware, project management and customized programming. Revenues from
maintenance services do not fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, but
have been increasing as the number of customers' increase. Revenues from the VHS
service bureau operations are expected to increase over time, as more hospitals
outsource services to VHS, its existing customer increases the volume of
documents stored on the systems, and the number of retrievals increase.
The Company's revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter
to quarter as a result of a number of other factors, many of which are outside
the Company's control. These factors include the relatively high purchase price
of a system, unpredictability in the number and timing of systems sales, length
of the sales cycle, delays in the installation process and changes in the
customer's financial condition or budget. As a result, period to period
comparisons may not be meaningful with respect to the past operations of the
Company nor are they necessarily indicative of the future operations of the
Company.
REVENUES
Revenues for the first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2000, were $1,812,738,
compared with $2,372,048 reported in the comparable quarter of 1999. Revenues
for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 continued to be affected because many
healthcare organizations deferred new software purchases until all of their
existing systems were Year 2000 compliant.
Additionally, healthcare institutions are assessing and implementing many new
technologies. Although many of these systems do not compete with the LanVision
products, these systems do compete for capital budget dollars and the available
time of information systems personnel within the healthcare industries. Also,
the Remarketing Agreement with Shared Medical Systems Corporation continues to
develop more slowly than expected. However, management continues to believe that
revenue from this Remarketing Agreement will increase and represent a greater
percentage of the Company's total revenues in the future.
After an agreement is executed, LanVision does not record revenues until it
delivers the hardware and software or performs the agreed upon services. The
commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the size and complexity
of the system and the scheduling of the implementation, training, interface
development and other services requested by the customer. Accordingly,
significant variations in revenues can result as more fully discussed under
"Uneven Patterns of Quarterly Operating Results." Three customers accounted for
approximately 39% of the revenues for the first quarter of 2000 compared with
36% of revenues in the comparable period of the prior year.
12
13
OPERATING EXPENSES
Cost of Systems Sales
The cost of systems sales includes amortization of capitalized software
development costs on a straight-line basis, royalties and the cost of
third-party software and hardware. Cost of systems sales as a percentage of
systems sales may vary from period to period depending on the mix of hardware
and software of the systems or add-on sales delivered. The cost of systems sales
as a percentage of systems sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999
were 63% and 47%, respectively. The higher cost reflects the lower mix of
LanVision software with higher margins relative to the hardware and third party
software components with lower margins and higher costs.
Cost of Services, Maintenance and Support
The cost of services, maintenance and support includes compensation and benefits
for support and professional services personnel and the cost of third-party
maintenance contracts. As a percentage of services, maintenance and support
revenues, the cost of such services, maintenance and support was 69% and 72% for
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. The improvement in the
cost of sales is due to reduced operating expenses and more effective
utilization of the professional services and support staffs. The Company's
support margins are highest on LanVision's proprietary software. Accordingly,
margins are expected to improve as more customers are added.
The LanVision Professional Services staff provides services on a time and
material or fixed fee basis. The Professional Services staff has, in the past,
experienced some inefficiencies in the delivery of services, and certain
projects have taken longer to complete than originally estimated, thus adversely
affecting operating performance. Additionally, the Professional Services staff
does spend a portion of its time on non-billable activities, such as selling
additional products and services to existing clients, developing training
courses and plans to move existing customers to LanVision's new product
releases, etc. Management believes an increase in the number of new systems sold
and the related backlog should improve the overall efficiency and operating
performance of this group.
Cost of Service Bureau Operations
The cost of service bureau operations was significantly reduced with the sale of
the data center. (See Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, above.) The Company now incurs expenses only for the outsourcing
services it uses which are directly related to the Service Bureau Revenues
generated by the VHS division.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, General and Administrative expenses consist primarily of: compensation
and related benefits and reimbursable travel and living expenses related to the
Company's sales, marketing
13
14
and administrative personnel; advertising and marketing expenses, including
trade shows and similar type sales and marketing expenses; and general corporate
expenses, including occupancy costs. During the first quarter of fiscal 2000,
Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased to $839,508 compared with
$1,261,239 in the comparable prior quarter. The reductions in Selling, General
and Administrative expenses is due to decreased staffing levels and reduced
expenses in other areas. The Company has gradually reduced its direct sales
staff as the Company focuses its sales efforts on indirect distribution through
its current and future Remarketing Partners. However, the Company may increase
its direct sales force in the foreseeable future as market opportunities arise.
Product Research and Development
Product research and development expenses consist primarily of: compensation and
related benefits; the use of independent contractors for specific development
projects; and an allocated portion of general overhead costs, including
occupancy. During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, research and development
expenses were $467,371 compared with $546,012 in the comparable prior quarter as
a result of a reduction of staff and use of outside contractors, and an increase
in capitalized software for new products under development. The Company is in
the process of increasing its Research and Development staff to accelerate the
development of new products. The Company capitalized, in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, $105,000 and $75,000 of
product research and development costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and
1999, respectively.
Interest income consists primarily of interest on invested cash. The increase in
interest income results from increased cash balances and higher interest rates.
Interest expense relates to the long-term debt.
Operating loss
The operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was $702,020 compared
with an operating loss of $1,227,131 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The
decrease in the operating loss results primarily from: (1) continued stringent
cost controls, and (2) the sale of the data center and the reduction in the
associated expenses related thereto which approximated $318,000.
Other income, net
Other income, net of $1,352,718 relates to the disposal of fixed assets,
primarily the data center. (See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements, above.)
Net income (loss)
The net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was $314,829 ($0.04 per
share) compared with a net loss of $1,559,020 ($.0.18 per share) in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999. Excluding the gain on the sale of the data center, the
net loss for the current quarter would have been $1,037,889, a decrease of
$521,131 from the comparable loss in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. This
reduction
14
15
results primarily from: (1) the continued stringent cost controls in all areas,
and (2) the sale of the data center which resulted in an approximately $318,000
reduction in expenses related to the data center operations.
Notwithstanding the less than anticipated number of new customer agreements
signed in the past, management continues to believe that the healthcare document
imaging and workflow market is going to be a significant market. Management
believes it has made the investments in the talent and technology necessary to
establish the Company as a leader in this marketplace, and continues to believe
the Company is well positioned to experience significant revenue growth
primarily through third party distributors and remarketing partners.
Since commencing operations in 1989, the Company has incurred operating losses.
Although the Company achieved profitability in fiscal years 1992 and 1993, the
Company incurred a net loss in fiscal years 1994 through 1999. In view of the
Company's prior operating history, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to achieve consistent profitability on a quarterly or annual basis
or that it will be able to sustain or increase its revenue growth in future
periods. Based upon the expenses associated with current and planned staffing
levels, profitability is dependent upon increasing revenues.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since its inception in 1989, the Company has funded its operations, working
capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from a combination of cash
generated by operations, a 1994 private placement of convertible redeemable
preferred stock, an initial public offering and borrowings, including a
$6,000,000 loan in 1998.
The Company's customers typically have been well-established hospitals or
medical facilities with good credit histories, and payments have been received
within normal time frames for the industry. However, some healthcare
organizations have experienced significant operating losses as a result of
limits on third-party reimbursements from insurance companies and governmental
entities. Agreements with customers often involve significant amounts and
contract terms typically require customers to make progress payments.
The Company has no significant obligations for capital resources, other than
noncancelable operating leases in the total amount of approximately $455,000,
net of a sublease, payable over the next three years.
Over the last several years, the Company's revenues have been less than the
Company's internal plans. However, during the same period, the Company has
expended significant amounts for capital expenditures, product research and
development, sales, support and consulting expenses. This resulted in
significant net cash outlays over the last four years. Although the Company has
reduced staffing levels and related expenses, and improved operating
performance, the Company's expenses continue to exceed its revenues.
Accordingly, to achieve profitability, and positive cash flow, it is necessary
for the Company to increase revenues or continue to reduce expenses. Management
believes that the general release of enhanced products has significantly
15
16
strengthened the product lines. Additionally, the SMS Remarketing Agreement has
significantly expanded the sales distribution capabilities, and management
believes that market opportunities are such that the Company should be able to
increase its revenues. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be
able to increase its revenues.
At April 30, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,550,241. Cash
equivalents consist primarily of overnight bank repurchase agreements and
short-term commercial paper. Under the terms of its loan agreement, as amended,
the Company has agreed to maintain a minimum cash and investment balance of
$4,500,000, which increases by $75,000 per month, which is equal to the Note
Receivable payment, until February, 2001, at which time the minimum balance must
be $5,300,000.
Management has significantly reduced operating expenses, and believes the
Company can improve operating results in fiscal 2000. However, based upon
current expenditure levels and in the absence of increased revenues, the Company
would continue to operate at a loss. Accordingly, for the foreseeable future,
management will need to continually assess its revenue prospects compared to its
current expenditure levels. If it does not appear likely that revenues will
increase, it may be necessary to further reduce operating expenses or raise cash
through additional borrowings, the sale of assets, or other equity financing.
Certain of these actions will require lender approval. However, there can be no
assurance the Company will be successful in any of these efforts. If it is
necessary to significantly reduce operating expenses, this could have an adverse
affect on future operating performance.
To date, inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's revenues or
expenses. Additionally, the Company does not have any significant market risk
exposure at April 30, 2000.
SIGNED AGREEMENTS - BACKLOG
LanVision enters into master agreements with its customers to specify the scope
of the system to be installed and services to be provided by LanVision, the
agreed upon aggregate price and the timetable for implementation. The master
agreement typically provides that the Company will deliver the system in phases
pursuant to the customer's purchase orders, thereby allowing the customer
flexibility in the timing of its receipt of systems and to make adjustments that
may arise based upon changes in technology or changes in customer needs. The
master agreement also allows the customer to request additional components as
the installation progresses, which additions are then separately negotiated as
to price and terms. Historically, customers have ultimately purchased systems
and services in addition to those originally contemplated by the master
agreement, although there can be no assurance that this trend will continue in
the future.
At April 30, 2000, the Company's customers (excluding customers of the Virtual
Healthware Services division) had entered into master agreements for systems and
services (excluding support and maintenance) which had not yet been delivered,
installed and accepted which, if fully performed, would generate sales of
approximately $5,686,000, compared with approximately $4,551,000 at the end of
fiscal 1999. The systems and services are currently expected to be delivered
over the next two to three years. In addition, the Company anticipates
approximately
16
17
$2,900,000 in transaction-based fee revenues for the Virtual Healthware Services
division's client over the remaining forty-one month life of the contract.
Because implementation and service bureau fees are dependent upon the customer's
schedule and usage, the Company is unable to predict accurately the amount of
revenues in future periods.
The Company's master agreements also generally provide for an initial
maintenance period and give the customer the right to subscribe for maintenance
and support services on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Maintenance and
support revenues for fiscal years 1999 and 1998 and 1997 were approximately
$3,264,000, $2,755,000 and $2,151,000, respectively and are expected to increase
as new or expanded systems are installed.
The commencement of revenue recognition varies depending on the size and
complexity of the system, the implementation schedule requested by the customer
and usage by customers of the VHS service bureau operations. Therefore,
LanVision is unable to accurately predict the revenue it expects to achieve in
any particular period. The Company's master agreements generally provide that
the customer may terminate its agreement upon a material breach by the Company,
or may delay certain aspects of the installation. There can be no assurance that
a customer will not cancel all or any portion of master agreement or delay
installations. A termination or installation delay of one or more phases of an
agreement, or the failure of the Company to procure additional agreements, could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations.

III. UTILITIES. Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all charges, costs and/or

IV. MAINTENANCE, JANITORIAL, REPAIR, SURRENDER OF PREMISES, ALTERATIONS. Except

security monitoring and security systems, fixtures, walls, ceilings, floors,
windows, doors (interior and exterior), plate glass, docks, dock doors, levelers
and related equipment, skylights, and all improvements of any kind and nature,
in good and substantial condition and repair, and in clean and sanitary
condition, and that it will indemnify and save harmless Lessor from and against
all liens, claims or damages by reason of any repairs or improvements which may
be made by Lessee thereon. Lessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous
Materials (defined below) to be spilled or released in, on, under or about the

shall promptly, at Lessee's expense, take all investigatory and/or remedial
action reasonably recommended, whether or not formally ordered or acquired, for
clean-up of any contamination of, and for the maintenance, security and/or
monitoring of the demised premises, the elements surrounding same, or
neighboring properties, that was caused or materially contributed to by Lessee,
or pertaining to or involving any Hazardous Materials brought onto the demised
premises by or for Lessee or under its control.
Lessee will make any changes to the demised premises required by
any law, ordinance, judgment, decree or any official action by any governmental
or quasi-governmental agency or authority under any police, health, safety,
environmental, fire or other regulation, provided that said changes are the
direct result of Lessee's particular use of the premises. Any required changes
that relate to the general use of the building at 5481 Creek Road, Cincinnati,
Ohio shall be made by Lessor.
Lessee, in keeping the demised premises in good order, condition
and repair, shall exercise and perform good maintenance practices. Lessee's
obligations shall include restoration, replacement or renewals where necessary
to keep the interior of the demised premises and all improvements thereon or any
part thereof in good order, condition and state of repair. Lessee shall not be
responsible for restoration, replacement, or renewals where the need for such
restoration, replacement, or renewals is due to reasonable and ordinary wear and
tear.
3
Lessor agrees to obtain a service contract on the HVAC system with
a firm which is reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Such contract shall provide
for at least quarterly inspections, and with written reports to Lessor and
Lessee.
Lessor shall also be responsible for the maintenance of outside
security lights. The fixtures will be the responsibility of Lessor.
Lessor shall be responsible for all exterior improvements and
maintenance, of the demised premises, including the roof and structural parts,
and the care and maintenance of the parking areas and grounds, except as
provided for elsewhere in this Lease. Lessee shall give reasonable advance
notice to Lessor of required repairs to the roof, structure, parking areas, or
grounds.
Lessee further covenants and agrees that at the end of the term,
it will deliver up the demised premises broom-clean, free of debris and in as
good order and condition as they are at commencement hereof or may be put to
thereafter, reasonable use and reasonable and ordinary wear and tear excepted.
All of the obligations of Lessee shall include the repair of any damage
occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of Lessee's trade
fixtures, furnishings, equipment, as well as the removal of any materials that
are left by Lessee.
Lessee shall be responsible for all interior janitorial service
respecting the demised premises.
Lessee covenants and agrees that it will neither do nor permit to
be done any act or thing on the demised premises or elsewhere which will
invalidate any insurance on the demised premises or increase the premiums for
insurance thereon if said invalidation or increase is the result of Lessee's
change of use of the demised premises.
Lessee may, at its own cost and expense, from time to time during
the term of this Lease, make such alterations, additions and changes, structural
and otherwise, in and to the demised premises as it finds necessary or
convenient for its purposes; provided, however: (i) that Lessee shall indemnify
and save harmless Lessor from all expenses, liens, claims of damages to any
person or property arising out of or resulting from the undertaking or making of
such alterations, additions and/or changes; (ii) that such alterations,
additions and/or changes shall increase the value of the demised premises, and
in no manner adversely affect the use thereof, or the rights of Lessor, such
adverse affect to be determined in Lessor's sole opinion; an (iii) that written
consent shall be first obtained from Lessor before undertaking the same, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such consent may, at the option of
Lessor, be either on the basis that Lessee shall restore the demised premises to
substantially their original condition at the termination of this Lease, or that
no restoration will be required. All trade fixtures, trade apparatus, trade
machinery and trade equipment placed on the demised premises at the expense of
Lessee shall remain the property of Lessee, and may be removed by Lessee at any
time prior to and upon termination of this Lease. Copies of all plans and
specifications, including as-built plans, shall be provided to Lessor by Lessee.
4
V. REAL ESTATE TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. Lessor shall be responsible for the
payment of all real estate taxes and assessments regarding the Demised Premises.
VI. FIRE AND CASUALTY.
A. In the event of partial damage to or destruction of the Premises
during the term hereof, which does not render the Premises untenantable by
Lessee, Lessor at its sole cost and expense will, within a reasonable time,
restore, repair, replace, rebuild or alter the same to their condition
immediately prior to such damage or destruction or as near thereto as is
reasonably possible. Lessor will be entitled to apply the proceeds of Lessor's
insurance coverage to the cost of such restoration and repair.
B. If such damage or destruction is total or renders the Premises
untenantable by Lessee and if it does not appear to be feasible, in Lessor's
determination for Lessor to complete such restoration, repair and replacement
work within "a reasonable period" after the date of such damage or destruction,
then Lessor will have the right to terminate this Lease by delivery of written
notice thereof to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage
or destruction.
C. If Lessor plans to restore, repair, and replace the Premises to
their condition immediately prior to such damage or destruction, or as near
thereto as is reasonably possible, within the reasonable period provided for
above, Lessor will deliver its statement to that effect to Lessee within thirty
(30) days after the date of such damage or destruction. Upon receipt of said
statement, in the event that Lessee determines that, in its opinion, the period
for restoration, repair and replacement work is not reasonable, Lessee has the
right to terminate this Lease by delivery of written notice thereof to Lessor
within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Lessee of said statement from Lessor.
D. Lessor's obligation to restore the Premises is limited in every
instance to the insurance proceeds actually paid to it for such purpose as a
result of damage or casualty to the Premises. However, Lessor shall restore the
Premises to a condition similar to that condition in which the Premises were in
prior to the damage or destruction.
E. During any time that any portion of the Premises are untenantable,
in whole or in part, the rent provided for herein will abate, in proportion to
the extent the Premises have become untenantable, from the date the Premises
become untenantable. However, if such damage resulted from or was contributed to
by the act, fault or neglect of Lessee, Lessee's employees, invitees or agents,
there will be no abatement of rent.
F. In case of the initial destruction of the Building by fire or
otherwise, or so much thereof that Lessor desires to raze the Building (whether
or not the Premises be affected), the rent will be paid up to the time of
destruction, and then and from thenceforth this Lease will terminate.
VII. INSURANCE.
5
A. Lessor shall insure the building and keep it insured during the term
against loss or damage by fire or other casualty normally covered by extended
coverage endorsements.
B. Lessee shall at all times maintain at its expense the following
insurance in respect to the demised premises:
1. General public liability insurance against claims for
bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the demised
premises and the adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways, with limits of
not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) with respect to bodily injury
or death to any one person, not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00)
with respect to any one accident, and not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) with respect to property damage.
2. Workers' compensation insurance or comparable insurance
under applicable laws covering all persons employed in connection with any work
done on or about the premises for which claims for death or bodily injury could
be asserted against Lessor, Lessee or the premises.
3. Such other insurance upon or in respect of the demised
premises or the operation thereof, in such amounts and against such other
insurance hazards as lessor may from time to time reasonably require.
C. All insurance to be provided by Lessee pursuant to this Lease shall
be written by companies acceptable to Lessor, and all such insurance shall name
as the insured parties Lessor, Lessee, and any property manager for Lessor, and
Lessor's mortgagee (as their respective interests may appear).
D. Insurance claims by reason of damage to or destruction of any
portion of the demised premises shall be payable to Lessor and/or Lessor's
mortgagee, or an insurance trustee, if so required by Lessor and/or Lessor's
mortgagee.
E. Every policy required by this Lease shall contain an agreement by
the insurer that it will not cancel or modify such policy, except after thirty
(30) days' prior written notice to Lessor and/or Lessor's mortgagee, and that
any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act
or negligence of the insured, and notwithstanding: (i) the occupation or use of
the demised premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of
such policy; (ii) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by any
mortgagee or notice of sale relating to the premises; or (iii) any change in
title to or ownership of the demised premises.
F. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor simultaneously with the execution and
delivery of this Lease, certificates of the insurers satisfactory to Lessor and
Lessor's mortgagee, evidencing all the insurance which is required to be
maintained by Lessee hereunder, and Lessee shall maintain such insurance
continuously throughout the term hereof. Lessee shall, as soon as practicable,
but in all events within thirty (30) days of the renewal date of any such
insurance, deliver additional certificates of the insurers satisfactory to
Lessor, evidencing the renewal of such insurance. Should Lessee fail to effect,
maintain or renew any insurance provided for in
6
this section or to pay the premium therefor, or to deliver to Lessor any of such
certificates as required herein, then and in any of said events Lessor, at its
option, but without obligation so to do, may procure such insurance, and any
sums expended by it to procure such insurance shall be additional rent
hereunder, and shall be repaid by Lessee within fifteen (15) business days
following the date on which such expenditure shall be made by Lessor.
G. Lessee agrees to carry adequate fire and extended coverage on all of
Lessee's personal property located in the demised premises, including leasehold
improvements, inventory, trade fixtures and other property installed or placed
on the demised premises by Lessee.
H. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Lessor and Lessee do hereby waive all rights
of recovery and causes of action which either have or may have or which may
arise hereafter against the other, whether caused by negligence or otherwise,
for any damage to the Premises or any property or business of Lessor or Lessee
caused by any of the perils covered by public liability, fire and extended
coverage, building and contents, and business interruption insurance or for
which either party may be reimbursed as a result of insurance coverage affecting
any loss suffered by it; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver will apply
only to the extent of any recovery made by the parties hereto under any policy
of insurance now or hereafter issued and further provided that the foregoing
waivers do not invalidate any policy of insurance of the parties hereto now or
hereafter issued, it being stipulated by the parties that the foregoing waiver
will not apply in any such case in which the application thereof would result in
the invalidation of any such policy of insurance. In the event any additional
premium will be charged for such waiver provision the party benefitted by such
waiver will pay the cost of such endorsement.
VIII. INDEMNITY AND RIGHT OF ENTRY. Lessee will indemnify and hold harmless
Lessor from all claims, demands and damages for injuries to persons or property
arising from or in any manner connected with the occupancy or use of the demised
premises by Lessee, and from any and all other claims, demands, liens, damages,
fines or penalties of whatever name, nature of kind, in any way or manner
chargeable to, or payable for, or in respect of the use or occupancy of the
demised premises by Lessee, or from any act or omission of Lessee, its servants,
its agents, representatives, Lessees, guests, invitees, licensees or any other
person, firm or corporation in, about or adjacent to the demised premises.
Lessee will pay all costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred by or imposed
on Lessor in prosecution or defense of any suit, action or proceeding predicated
upon an alleged breach of undertaking by Lessee under the terms of this Lease or
for or on account of which Lessee has covenanted to indemnify Lessor under the
terms of this Lease or would be bound by law to so indemnify Lessor.
Lessee covenants and agrees that Lessor, or Lessor's agents or
representatives, shall have the right, during normal business hours, to enter
upon the demised premises for the purpose of examining the same and to observe
the compliance or noncompliance by Lessee with the terms of this Lease, and for
the purpose of exhibiting the same to prospective lessees during the last six
(6) months of this Lease or as otherwise agreed between the parties. Lessee
agrees to permit Lessor or Lessor's agents or representatives to enter into and
upon the demised premises at any time in case of emergency.
7

X. TITLE AND CONDITION; HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
A. The demised premises are leased subject to: (i) the existing state
of the title thereof as of the commencement of the term of this Lease; (ii) any
state of facts which an accurate survey or physical inspection thereof might
show; and (iii) all zoning regulations and other laws and regulations now in

Except as specifically set out herein, the land, buildings, structures and other
improvements comprising a part of the demised premises are leased subject to
their condition as of the commencement of the term of this Lease and without
representation or warranty of any kind by Lessor, including, without limitation,

premises or any portion thereof, without first obtaining the prior written
consent of Lessor, not to be unreasonably withheld. Any consent by Lessor to a
assignment or subletting shall not in any manner be construed to relieve Lessee
or any assignee or sublessee from obtaining the consent in writing of Lessor to
any further assignment or subletting, and in all events, Lessee shall remain
primarily liable for the payment of Base Rent herein reserved and for the
performance of all of the other terms of this Lease required to be performed by
Lessee.

premises and Lessee, if the covenants of this Lease to be paid and performed by
Lessee are paid and performed, shall have peaceable possession and quiet
enjoyment of the demised premises throughout the term of this Lease without any
hindrance or molestation by Lessor, or any person claiming lawfully under
Lessor.
XIII. DEFAULT.
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall be a
default and breach of this Lease by Lessee:
1. Lessee shall fail to pay any monthly installment of Base

2. Lessee shall fail to perform or observe any term,
condition, covenant or obligation, other than the payment of Base Rent, required
to be performed or observed by it under this Lease for a period of thirty (30)
days after notice thereof from Lessor; or such longer period, if the term,
condition, covenant or obligation to be performed within such thirty (30) day
period cannot, due to its nature, be performed within such thirty (30) day
period and Lessee commences or perform within such thirty (30) day period, and
thereafter diligently undertakes to complete the same.
3. A trustee or receiver shall be appointed to take possession
of substantially all of Lessee's assets in, on or about the demised premises or
of Lessee's interest in this Lease (and Lessee does not regain possession within
sixty (60) days after such appointment); Lessee makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors; or substantially all of Lessee's assets in, on or about
the demised premises or Lessee's interest in this Lease are attached or levied
upon under execution (and Lessee does not discharge the same within sixty (60)
days thereafter).
4. A petition in bankruptcy, insolvency, or for reorganization
or arrangement is filed by or against Lessee, pursuant to any federal or state
statute (and, with respect to any such petition filed against it, lessee fails
to secure a stay or discharge thereof within sixty (60) days after the filing of
the same).
9
B. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, as set forth above,
Lessor shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to those
allowed by law or equity, and one or more of which may be exercised after ten
(10) days notice to Lessee:
1. Lessor may apply the security deposit and/or re-enter the
demised premises and cure any default of Lessee, in which event Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor as additional rent for any cost and expenses which Lessor may
incur to cure such default.
2. Lessor may terminate this Lease as of the date of such
default, in which event: (i) neither Lessee, nor any person claiming under or
through Lessee, shall thereafter be entitled to possession of the premises, and
Lessee shall immediately thereafter surrender the premises to Lessor; (ii)
Lessor may re-enter the premises and dispossess Lessee or any other occupants of
the premises by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may
remove their effects, without prejudice to any other remedy which Lessor may
have for possession or arrearages in Base Rent; and (iii) notwithstanding the
termination of this Lease: (a) Lessor may declare all Base Rent which would have
been due under this Lease for the balance of the term to be immediately due and
payable whereupon Lessee shall be obligated to pay the same to Lessor, together
with all loss or damage which Lessor may sustain by reason of such termination
and re-entry; or (b) Lessor may re-let all or any part of the demised premises
for a term different from that which would otherwise have constituted the
balance of the term of this Lease, and for rent and on terms and conditions
different from those contained herein, whereupon Lessee shall be obligated to
pay to Lessor as liquidated damages the difference between the rent provided for
herein and that provided for any Lease covering a subsequent re-letting of the
premises, for a period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the
term of this Lease, together with all of Lessor's costs and expenses for
preparing the premises for re-letting, including all repairs, Lessee finish
improvements, brokers' and attorneys' fees, and all loss or damage which lessor
may sustain by reason of such termination, re-entry and re-letting, it being
expressly understood and agreed that the liabilities and remedies specified in
clauses A and B above shall survive the termination of this Lease.
3. Lessor may sue for injunctive relief, or to recover damages
for any loss resulting from the breach.
XIV. WAIVER. It is further mutually covenanted and agreed between the parties
hereto that no waiver of any covenant, agreement, stipulation or condition of
this Lease shall be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of the
same covenant, agreement, stipulation or condition; that the payment by Lessee,
or the receipt by Lessor, of rent with knowledge of the breach by the other
party of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach; and
further, that all covenants, stipulations, conditions, and agreements herein
contained shall run with the land, and bind and inure to the benefit of, as the
case may require, the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns
of the parties hereto and to grantees of Lessor, as fully as if such words were
written whenever reference to Lessor and Lessee occur in this Lease, except that
no assignment by lessee in violation of the provisions of this Lease, shall vest
any right in the assignee.
10
XV. MORTGAGES. Lessor shall have the right to transfer, assign, mortgage and
convey in whole or in part, the demised premises, and any and all rights of
Lessor under this Lease, and nothing herein shall be construed as a restriction
upon Lessor so doing. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any
mortgage or other financing arrangement and to any renewal modification,
consolidation, replacement and extension thereof now or thereafter placed upon
or affecting the demised premises, or any part hereof, provided that so long as
Lessee is not in default of any of the terms and conditions hereof, Lessee's
rights, privileges and possession hereunder shall not be disturbed. Although no
instrument or act on the part of Lessee shall be necessary to effectuate such
subordination, Lessee will, upon request, execute and deliver such further
instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgages or other
financing arrangements as may be desired by the mortgagee or other lender.
Lessee hereby appoints Lessor its attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, to execute and
deliver any such instrument for Lessee, should Lessee fail to execute and
deliver same within five (5) days of any request therefor. In the event of any
sale or exchange of the demised premises by Lessor and assignment by Lessor
hereof, Lessor shall be and is hereby entirely free and relieved of all
liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or
derived from this Lease occurring after the consummation of such sale or
exchange and assignment.
XVI. CONDEMNATION.
A. If, during the term of this Lease, all of the demised premises, or
such a substantial part of the premises so as to render the remaining as the
same may be restored, unusable for the purposes for which the premises were
leased, shall be taken by appropriation for public, or quasi-public use, under
the right of eminent domain, then all of the proceeds of such appropriation
shall be paid to Lessor, and Lessee shall have no claim to any part thereof,
except as set out below, and this Lease shall be canceled as of the date of such
taking, provided, however, Lessee may claim such damages it suffered with
respect to its trade fixtures, personal property and its improvements to the
real property from the condemning authority.
B. If, during the term of this Lease, a part but not all of the demised
premises shall be taken by appropriation for public, or quasi-public use, under
the right of eminent domain and this Lease shall not terminate or be terminated
under the provisions of subparagraph XVI. A. hereof, then this Lease shall not
be canceled, and shall apply to that part of the demised premises not so taken.
In such event, all of the proceeds shall be paid to Lessor, and Lessee shall not
be entitled to any part thereof (except for a reasonable amount for the
depreciated value of its improvements), but the rental for the remaining term
and the Required Purchase Price, as defined below, shall be equitably adjusted.
XVII. LIENS. Lessor shall have a first and best lien, paramount to all others
upon every right and interest of Lessee to and in the demised premises and to
and in this Lease, and in and to all improvements which become part of the real
estate constituting the premises, as security for the payment of the entire
amount of Base Rent payable under this Lease, and for the payment of the entire
amount of Base Rent payable under this Lease, and for the payment of all monies
payable under any obligation or engagement of Lessee contained in this Lease,
and as security for the performance and observance of all and singular the
covenants, agreements, conditions and obligations of this Lease to be performed
and observed by Lessee.
11
XVIII. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, INSURANCE POLICIES, ETC.; USE. Further, Lessee, at
its expense, shall cause the demised premises to comply with all federal, state,
county, municipal and other governmental laws, statutes, rules, orders,
regulations and ordinances applicable to the demised premises, or any part
thereof or the use thereof, whether or not any such statutes, laws, rules,
orders, regulations or ordinances which may hereafter be enacted, involve a
change of policy, only to the extent that such compliance is the direct result
of Lessee's particular use of the premises. Any compliance that is necessary due
to the general use of the building at 5481 Creek Road, Cincinnati, Ohio shall be
the responsibility of Lessor. Lessee shall obtain and pay for all permits and
appraisals required for Lessee's occupancy of the demised premises, and shall
promptly take all substantial and non-substantial actions necessary to comply
with all statues, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and requirements
regulating by Lessee's particular use of the demised premises, including,
without limitation, the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Lessor shall
promptly take all actions necessary for said compliance if such actions are
necessary due to the general use of the building at 5481 Creek Road, Cincinnati,
Ohio. All materials used or kept on or about the demised premises shall be
self-contained in governmentally approved containers which shall not be opened,
disturbed or stored on the demised premises. Lessee shall not mix, process or
handle hazardous contents on the demised premises. Lessee shall comply with all
Environmental Laws and laws pertaining to the control of Hazardous Materials,
and shall indemnify and hold Lessor and Lessor's lender(s) harmless from any and
all loss, claims, damage or cost, including attorneys' fees arising out of or
resulting from its failure to do so, civil and criminal penalties, natural
resource damages, and diminution in value of the demised premises, or arising
out of the presence of hazardous waste, bio-hazardous waste, asbestos, petro
chemicals, toxic substances or the presence of other environmentally detrimental
matter. Without limiting the foregoing, Lessee shall acquire all applicable
permits required for the demised premises regarding stormwater discharges or
run-off, including any National Pollutant Discharges elimination system permits,
and shall comply with all applicable requirements, including monitoring
requirements. Lessor, at its option, may elect to acquire permits, perform any
and all stormwater discharge elimination plans and monitoring as required by any
governmental authority, and Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for same. Lessee
will not permit nor place any fuel storage tanks or pumps on the demised
premises, and shall keep the demised premises free of environmental hazards of
any kind or nature. Lessee shall only use the demised premises as follows:
offices.
XIX. ARTICLE HEADINGS. The article headings in this Lease are inserted only as a
matter of convenience for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the
scope or intent of this Lease or affect this Lease.
XX. MEMORANDUM OF LEASE. In the event either Lessor or Lessee determine to
record this Lease, a short form memorandum of Lease shall be recorded in lieu of
the original Lease. Such short form memorandum shall be executed by both
parties, but shall not in any way vary or revoke the terms of this Lease.
XXI. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Lessee shall from time to time, upon not less than
ten (10) days prior written request by Lessor, execute, acknowledge and deliver
to Lessor an estoppel certificate, certifying that this Lease is in full force
and effect; the dates to which rents have been
12
paid; and whether Lessor is in default, and if so, specifying the nature of the
default; and that the Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and
listing instruments of modification. It is intended that such estoppel
certificate may be relied on by a prospective purchaser of Lessor's interest, or
mortgagee or assignee of any mortgage upon the demised premises.
XXII. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Lessee has already deposited with Lessor the sum of Six
Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($6,250.00), the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, as security for the payment by Lessee of the Base Rent or other
charges to be paid and for the faithful performance by Lessee of all of the
terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease. If at any time during the term of
this Lease, Lessee shall be in default in the performance of any provisions of
this Lease, Lessor shall have the right to use the security deposit, or so much
thereof as is necessary, in payment of rental or other charges in default,
reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lessor, and in payment of any damages
incurred by Lessor by reason of Lessee's default. If any portion of said deposit
is so used or applied, Lessee shall, within ten (10) days after written demand
therefore from Lessor, remit to Lessor a sufficient amount out restore the
security deposit to its original amount. If claims of Lessor exceed the security
deposit, Lessee shall remain liable for the balance of such claims.
In the event the security deposit has not been utilized as aforesaid,
the security deposit, or so much thereof as has not been utilized for such
purposes, shall be refunded to Lessee, without interest, upon full performance
of all of the terms of this Lease by Lessee.
Lessor shall have the right to commingle the security deposit with
other funds of Lessor. Lessor shall have the right to deliver the security
deposit to any successor in interest to Lessor's interest in the demised
premises. Thereupon, Lessor shall be discharged from further liability with
respect to such security deposit.
Lessee may not assign its right to the security deposit in whole or in
part.
XXIII. NO COUNTERCLAIM, ABATEMENT, ETC. There shall be no abatement, deduction
or offset whatsoever with regard to any amounts due from the Lessee to the
Lessor under this Lease.
XXIV. LIMITATION OF LESSOR'S PERSONAL LIABILITY. Lessee specifically agrees to
look solely to Lessor's interest in the Real Property and the Building for the
recovery of any judgment from Lessor, it being agreed that neither Lessor nor
any of its partners shall ever be personally liable for any such judgment. The
provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not,
limit any right that might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against
Lessor or Lessor's successors in interest, or any other action not involving the
personal liability of Lessor.
XXV. HOLDING OVER. In the event of holding over by Lessee after expiration or
termination of this Lease, Lessee shall pay double the Base Rent (calculated on
the basis of Base Rent with respect to the month immediately preceding the month
in which expiration or termination occurs) for the entire holdover period. No
holding over by Lessee after the term of this Lease shall be construed to extend
the term of this Lease. In the event of any unauthorized holding over, Lessee
shall also indemnify Lessor against all claims for damages by any other Lessee
to whom Lessor may have leased all or any part of the demised premises covered
hereby effective upon the
13
termination of this Lease. Any holding over with the consent of Lessor in
writing shall thereafter constitute this Lease a lease from month to month.
XXVI. LESSEE'S RIGHT OF TERMINATION. At any time after January 31, 2001, Lessee
may give Lessor one hundred twenty (120) days notice to terminate this Lease. At
the end of said one hundred twenty (120) day period, said Lease shall be
terminated provided that Lessee pays to Lessor, in a lump sum, an early
termination penalty of one half of the rent for the remaining months of this
Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that upon the termination of
this Lease, Lessee leases new space in property owned by Green Realty
Corporation, the termination penalty will be waived.
XXVII. MISCELLANEOUS.
A. If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any
person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision to persons or
circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall
not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Lease shall be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
B. This Lease shall be construed and interpreted under the laws of the
State of Ohio.
C. Lessor reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant
such easements, rights and dedications as Lessor deems necessary and desirable,
and to cause the recordation of plats and restrictions, so long as such
easements, rights, dedications and restrictions do not unreasonably interfere
with the use of the demised premises by Lessee. Lessee shall sign any of the
aforementioned documents upon request of Lessor.

site as identified as on the attached Exhibit B incorporated herein.

counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
