9. RIGHTS OF INGRESS AND EGRESS AND MOVEMENT OF MATERIALS:

9.1. Lessor agrees to make available to Lessee rights of ingress to and egress from the Premises by means of a driveway and parking lot, as well as access by rail to the railroad dock contained in the Premises for the purpose of unloading tin mill products for storage in the Premises, all as shown on Exhibit 8-A hereto.

9.2. _________ Can Company currently provides to Lessor the services of an employee for the purpose of unloading products at the truck and railroad docks, moving products inside the storage area, delivering products to the staging area and keeping records of products so received and so delivered. _________ Can Company presently charges Lessor for the cost of providing such service. Lessor presently provides the equipment used by such employee to provide such services and Lessor hereby covenants and agrees to continue to provide such equipment for the term of this Lease so long as the Lessor continues to use the _________ Warehouse building in such a way that such equipment is required. Lessor agrees to permit such employee to provide such services for both Lessor and Lessee. Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent each month, a certain fraction (to be calculated using the formula described below) of the sum of (a) the amount which _________ Can Company charges Lessor for the services of such employee, and (b) $_____, the latter representing the value of Lessor's providing and maintaining the equipment used by such employee in providing such services so long as such equipment is provided. Such fraction shall be calculated for each such month as follows:

(a) the numerator of the fraction shall be the sum of (i) the tonnage of tin mill products unloaded at the truck docks for Lessee, and (ii) two (2) times the tonnage of tin mill products unloaded at the railroad dock for Lessee, during such month; and

(b) the denominator of the fraction shall be the sum of (i) the tonnage of tin mill products unloaded at the truck docks for both Lessor and Lessee, and (ii) 2 times the tonnage of tin mill products unloaded at the railroad dock for both Lessor and Lessee, during such month.

Such employee shall keep and maintain records necessary to make such calculation. After Lessor shall have received the invoice from _________ Can Company for the services of such employee and the requisite information to calculate the aforesaid fraction, Lessor shall calculate the amount to be paid by Lessee for such services and invoice Lessee for such amount. Lessee shall pay to Lessor as additional rent such invoiced amount within 30 days after receipt of such invoice.

9.3. Lessor shall not be liable for any losses, damages or expenses, whether direct, incidental or consequential, arising from the acts or omissions of such employee of _________ Can Company or arising from the unavailability or the improper functioning of the equipment provided in accordance with Section 9.2.

9.4. Lessor agrees to make available to _________ Can Company reasonable access through the inside of Lessor's building in which the Premises are located to the truck loading docks, as shown on Exhibit 8-A hereto, for the purpose of permitting the employee of _________ Can Company described in Section 9.2 above to unload tin mill products of Lessee for storage in the Premises.

Lessee agrees to make available to _________ Can Company reasonable access through Lessee's staging area portion of the Premises, as shown in Exhibit 8-A hereto, for the purpose of permitting the employee of _________ Can Company described in Section 9.2 above to move tin mill products from Lessor's staging area to _________ Can Company.

10. EASEMENTS:

Lessor reserves the right to grant such easements on, over, under and through, and to cause such improvements to be made upon the Premises as Lessor may deem necessary for the service or benefit of the Premises, including, but not restricted to, power, gas, telephone, water and storm and sanitary sewers; provided, however, that no easements shall be granted or improvements made which will unreasonably interfere with the use by Lessee of the Premises. Lessor shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damages of Lessee or other losses, damages or claims by Lessee by reason of such easements or improvements, and the obligations of Lessee under this Lease shall not be affected thereby.

11. REAL ESTATE TAX ASSESSMENT APPEALS:

Lessor shall furnish Lessee copies of all notices which may affect the valuation of the Premises for general real estate tax purposes or which may affect the levy or assessment of general real estate taxes thereon. In the event Lessor elects not to do so, Lessee may contest the amount or validity of any valuation for general real estate tax purposes or of any levy or assessment of any general real estate taxes in appropriate legal proceedings either in the name of Lessee or the name of Lessor or in the names of both; provided, however, that Lessee's right to do so shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the _________ Can Company Lease and whatever consent or approval which might be required thereunder from _________ Can Company. Lessor, upon reasonable notice and request by Lessee, shall join in any such proceeding, but Lessor shall not be subject to any liability for the payment of any real estate levies assumed by Lessee herein, or any other costs or expenses in connection with any proceeding brought by Lessee, and Lessee hereby covenants to indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from any such liabilities, costs or expenses.

In the event that any circumstances arise which result in a conflict between the provisions of this Section 12 and the provisions of Section 17 (Liability Insurance for Lessor) below, the provisions of this Section 12 shall govern and control.

During the term of this Lease, Lessee shall keep and maintain the Premises in as good order and repair as they are on the date of occupancy, reasonable wear and tear excepted; provided, however, that Lessor shall be responsible for any necessary repairs to the basic structure of Lessor's building, i.e., the foundation, building supports, exterior walls and roof, excluding, however, any repairs which must be made to areas of such basic structure modified for Lessee, and further excluding any repairs to such basic structure made necessary by damages caused by any acts or omissions of Lessee, its employees or agents. All such excluded repairs to the basic structure must be made by Lessee. Structural repairs shall be deemed to be needed when failure to make the same will result in a potential or actual hazard to persons or property and/or impair the use or occupancy of the leased areas by Lessee. If either party fails to make the necessary repairs for which such party is responsible hereunder within 30 days of notice from the other party that such repairs are needed, or within a longer period of time as may be reasonable under the circumstances, the other party may make or cause to be made such repairs, and bill the responsible party for the same. Payment shall be due upon receipt by the responsible party of such bill.

14. LESSOR'S RIGHT OF INSPECTION:

16. INDEMNIFICATION BY LESSEE OF LESSOR:

Lessee will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims, actions, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from injury (including death) to the person or damage to or loss of the property of anyone (including Lessor and Lessee and employees of Lessor and Lessee) arising out of or in connection with occupancy or use by Lessee, its employees, agents, contractors or business guests of the Premises, any adjacent areas and any other property of Lessor, whether such claims, actions, damages, losses and liabilities are based upon or result in whole or in part from the active or passive negligence of Lessor, its employees or agents, or Lessor's strict liability in tort, breach of warranty, breach of contract or any other basis or cause or whatsoever whereby Lessor might be liable.

17. LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR LESSOR:

Lessee shall make Lessor an additional insured under Lessee's comprehensive general liability insurance policies applicable to the Premises by means of an additional insured endorsement, a copy of which shall be furnished to Lessor, so that to the extent of such insurance coverage, Lessor is defended from and insured against any and all claims, actions, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, resulting from injury (including death) to the person or damage to or loss of the property of anyone (including employees of Lessee) arising out of or in connection with occupancy or use by Lessee, its employees, agents, contractors or business guests of the Premises, any adjacent areas and any other property of Lessor. Such additional insured endorsement shall provide that the insurance afforded for Lessor is primary and any other valid and collectible insurance available to Lessor shall be excess. The insurance afforded for Lessor shall not be cancelled or reduced unless the insurer gives 30 days written notice thereof to Lessor.

18. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS:

Lessee may not make any alterations or additions to the Premises without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Lessee may make additions to or alterations of the Premises of a nonstructural nature which do not result in a decrease in the fair market value of the Premises (i) without the consent of Lessor if any such addition or alteration costs less than $1,000, and (ii) without the consent of Lessor but with the consent of _________ Can Company if any such addition or alteration costs more than $1,000 but less than $10,000.

21. CONDEMNATION:

If the Premises or any necessary and substantial part thereof is taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall terminate on the date of such taking and the rent shall be apportioned as of that date. In any taking or condemnation proceedings, Lessee shall have the right to be a party and to lodge a claim against the condemning authority for any award it may be allowed at law, including, without limitation, an award for its trade fixtures, business and personal property and moving and relocation expenses; provided, however, that nothing herein shall entitle Lessee to any share in the award which Lessor would be entitled to receive if the Premises had never been subject to this Lease. Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee of any actual or contemplated taking of which it has knowledge.

22. TERMINATION:

In the event of any breach of this Lease or of any provision hereof by either party, which breach is not remedied within 30 days after written notice thereof by the other party, such other party may terminate this Lease by giving at least 30 days notice of termination in writing to the party in breach, but any such termination shall not relieve either party of any obligations which accrued prior to such termination.

If any such lien shall at any time be filed, Lessee shall cause the same to be discharged or bonded of record within 30 days after Lessee shall have learned of the same, by either payment, deposit, or bond; provided, however, that such discharge or bonding of record must be sufficient (a) to permit Lessor to obtain title insurance with no exception for such lien and (b) to prevent the holder of the lien from causing a sale, foreclosure or other title divestiture with respect to the Premises or any portion thereof. If Lessee shall fail so to discharge or bond any such lien within such 30-day period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Lessor, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, procure the discharge of the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due by deposit or bonding, or Lessor shall be entitled, if it so elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment, if any, in favor of the lienor, with interest, costs and allowances.

25.2. Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to be the consent or request of Lessor, expressed or implied, for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any construction, alteration, restoration or repair of, to or on the Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving Lessee any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials which give rise to any lien against Lessor's interest in the Premises. Lessor shall have the right to post and keep posted at all times on the Premises any notices which Lessor shall deem appropriate for the protection of Lessor and the Premises from any such lien.

26. ASSIGNABILITY:

This lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, but Lessee shall have no right to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Lessor.

27. FORCE MAJEURE:

Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall be responsible for delay or failure of performance of any of its obligations under this Lease caused in whole or in part by: Acts of God, wars, riots, fires, explosions, breakdowns or accidents; strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulties; lack or shortages of labor, materials, utilities, energy sources, compliance with governmental rules, regulations or other governmental requirements; any other like causes; or any other unlike causes beyond the control of the party whose performance is affected thereby. The foregoing shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any excuses for nonperformance available to the party whose performance is affected under any applicable law. The party whose performance is so affected shall make all reasonable efforts to remove such disability as soon as possible, except for labor disputes which shall be solely within such party's discretion.

28. INTEGRATION:

29. CONSENT OF CAN COMPANY:

If this Lease or any provision thereof shall require the approval or consent of _________ Can Company, the validity and enforceability of this Lease shall be conditional upon obtaining such consent or approval. Lessor and Lessee agree to use all reasonable efforts to obtain any such consent or approval from _________ Can Company.

30. CAN COMPANY LEASE:

Lessee agrees that it will not commit any act or omission which would cause Lessor to be in breach of or to come into default under the terms and conditions of the _________ Can Company Lease. Lessor agrees that it will not commit any act or omission which would cause it to be in breach of or to come into default under the terms and conditions of the _________ Can Company Lease. Lessor agrees that it will not enter into any amendment to the _________ Can Company Lease which would affect the rights of Lessee under this Lease without the prior written consent of Lessee.

31. MISCELLANEOUS:

Each provision hereof shall be separate and independent and if any provision hereof or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, as the case may be, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law. All provisions contained in this Lease shall be binding upon, injure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the respective successors and assigns of Lessor and Lessee to the same extent as if each such successor and assign were named as a party hereto. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.
