the texts by which this decree was modified and supplemented, as well as the
general conditions (Title I) and special conditions (Title II) below.
<PAGE>
TITLE I - GENERAL CONDITIONS
TERM
----
This lease is executed for a term for 9 years, full and consecutive, of which 6
years are mandatory, starting July 1, 1996.
The Lessee shall be entitled to terminate this lease at the end of the second 3-
year period, provided that it gives notice to the Lessor 6 months in advance by
bailiff's writ.
The Lessee may, under the same conditions of notification, terminate the lease
after a period of 5 years, but in this case, the Lessee must pay to the Lessor a
compensation equal to 6 months rent, not including taxes and charges. The
payment of this compensation must be made to the Lessor at the same time as the
restitution of the keys, without which the notice of termination shall be
considered null and void, and the lease shall continue in all its clauses,
charges, and conditions.
RENT AND INCIDENTAL CHARGES
---------------------------
This lease is executed in consideration of an annual rent, not including taxes,
specified in the special conditions.
This rent is payable in advance, according to the methods determined in the
special conditions.
This rent is understood not to include value added tax (VAT): consequently, the
Lessee agrees to pay to the Lessor, in addition to said rent, the amount of the
VAT or any other new, additional or substituted tax, at the current legal rate,
on the day that each rent payment is due.
In addition, at the same time as the rent, a deposit for charges must be paid
which shall be settled annually.
Failure to pay on the due date one rent and incidental amounts (charges,
additional guaranteed deposits . . .) shall cause by rights and without prior
notice interest calculated at a monetary market rate day after day, published by
Bank de France, plus two points, whereby each portion of a month shall be owed
as a full month; such interest may be considered as an incidental charge to the
rent and shall be subject to value added tax.
The amount of the rent shall also be increased by rights and without formalities
by any legal costs and non-recoverable fees, whereby all additional fees and
taxes shall be borne by the Lessee, which pledges to pay them.
<PAGE>
INDEXATION
----------
By common agreement, the parties establish that the rent shall be indexed and
shall vary automatically by rights and without notification or prior warning.
This indexation shall occur each year on the anniversary of the effective date
of the lease, or on the date of availability, if it occurs later, depending on
the variation of the construction cost index published quarterly by INSEE
[National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies]. This index is
acknowledged by the parties as being directly related to the subject of the
present agreement.
The definition of the base index is established on the signing day of the lease;
its characteristics are indicated in the special conditions.
The revision index shall be the last index published on the anniversary date of
the lease.
The first indexation shall occur on the date indicated in the special
conditions.
It is also specified that this rent indexation clause constitutes an essential
and decisive reason for the execution of this lease, without which the Lessor
would not have contracted.
Consequently, the partial or total non-compliance with this clause shall justify
filing of an action for annulment of this lease by the Lessor.
SECURITY DEPOSIT (see special conditions)
----------------
On the signing day hereof, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor, as security
deposit, a bond issued by Banque Paribas, corresponding to six months' rent, not
including taxes and charges, as specified in the special conditions below, which
the Lessee expressly accepts.
On the other hand, such deposits shall be increased or reduced whenever the
terms of the rent are modified as a result of the application of the indexation
clause.
This deposit shall be refunded when the tenant leaves. It may be executed for
payment or all amounts liable to be owed for rent, charges, reimbursable tax,
repairs or any other reasons liable to be covered by the security deposit.
It is specified that this bond shall be both to the benefit of SNC FONCIERE
CHAPTAL LEVALLOIS, and its assigns or beneficiaries which shall have the
capacity of LESSOR.
<PAGE>
STATEMENT ON THE CONDITION OF THE PREMISES
------------------------------------------
A statement on the condition of the premises shall be drawn up in the presence
