Assignment by Landlord Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all its rights and obligations hereunder, in the Premises, and in such event and upon such transfer no further liability or obligation shall thereafter accrue against Landlord hereunder.
ENTRY BY LANDLORD Landlord shall at any and all times have the right to enter the Demised Premises to inspect the same, to show the Demised Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants and to post notices of non-responsibility. Landlord shall also have the right to conduct such maintenance and repair of or to the Demised Premises (or the Building) as Landlord may deem necessary, without abatement of Rent, and for that purpose may erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always providing that the entrance to the Demised Premises shall not be unreasonably blocked thereby, and further provided that the business of Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of any such entry to Tenant and shall attempt to minimize interference with Tenant’s business. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Demised Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Demised Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and files. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Demised Premises without liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant’s property. Any entry to the Demised Premises obtained by Landlord by any of such means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of the Demised Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Demised Premises or any portion thereof.
Payment By Landlord; Interest Upon a Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant hereunder, make such payment or perform such act. All sums so paid or incurred by Landlord, together with interest thereon, from the date such sums were paid or incurred, at the annual rate equal to 12% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law (the “Default Rate”), whichever is less, shall be payable to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent. Nothing herein shall be construed to create or impose a duty on Landlord to mitigate any damages resulting from Tenant’s Default hereunder.
SALE BY LANDLORD In event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Building, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any future liability upon any of the covenants or conditions, expressed or implied, contained in this Lease in favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease. Except as set forth in this Article 24, this Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee. If any security has been given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of any of the covenants of this Lease, Landlord may transfer or deliver said security, as such, to Landlord’s successor in interest and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with regard to said security.
ACCESS BY LANDLORD Under the terms of this Lease, access to the Property by Landlord may be undertaken as follows:
A. The Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the Landlord to enter the dwelling unit from time to time in order to inspect the Property; make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements; supply agreed services; or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers, or contractors.
B. Landlord may enter the dwelling unit at any time for the protection or preservation of the Property. Landlord may enter the dwelling unit upon reasonable notice to the Tenant and at a reasonable time for the purpose of repair of the Property. 'Reasonable notice' for the purpose of repair is notice given at least 24 hours prior to the entry, and reasonable time for the purpose of repair shall be between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Landlord may enter the dwelling unit when necessary for the further purposes set forth above under any of the following circumstances:
a. With the consent of the Tenant
b. In case of emergency
c. When the Tenant unreasonably withholds consent
d. If the Tenant is absent from the Property for a period of time equal to one-half the time for periodic rental payments. If the Rent is current and the Tenant notifies Landlord of an intended absence, then the Landlord may enter only with the consent of the Tenant or for the protection or preservation of the Property.
C. The Landlord shall not abuse the right of access nor use it to harass the Tenant.
Conveyance by Landlord If Landlord or any successor owner of all or any portion of the Leased Property shall convey all or any portion of the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of such of the Leased Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Landlord or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Agreement with respect to such of the Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.
Repairs by Landlord Landlord shall keep the roof, exterior walls, exterior building windows, public corridors, equipment used in common with other tenants (such as elevators, plumbing, heating, air-conditioning and similar equipment) and the structural components of the Building in a good state of repair, and shall accomplish such repairs as may be needed within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant (except in emergencies or cases of urgent necessity (when such repairs shall be commenced immediately) and such longer time as is reasonably required to adequately remedy the problem provided the remedy has begun and Landlord is diligently prosecuting the same to completion). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to repair any latent defects (i) capable of detection in the ordinary course of Tenant's business and first detected more than one (1) year after the Commencement Date or (ii) that have no material adverse effect on Tenant's ability to conduct business in or gain access to the Premises. Nothing herein shall diminish Tenant's obligation to maintain and repair any special equipment installed in the Leased Premises or Building specifically for Tenant, including without limitation any telecommunication equipment, security equipment, computer equipment, kitchen equipment, any Tenant HVAC System or any Tenant Generator. If repairs are required by reason of Tenant's acts or negligent failure to act, Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord, as additional rent, for the cost thereof. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 15 or 18 below, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Leased Premises or building of which the Leased Premises are a part, or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any damage to the Leased Premises or for any loss, damage or injury to any property therein or thereon resulting from acts by other third parties or occasioned by fire; explosion; falling plaster; the breaking, bursting, stoppage or leaking of water, gas, sewer, electrical cables, wires or steam pipes; or from water, rain, or other substances leaking or coming from the roof, street, subsurface or from any other place or from dampness or from any similar risks or causes. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to any person or property sustained by Tenant or any other persons, which may be caused by theft, or by any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Project, or of any other third parties.
TRANSFER BY LANDLORD Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Property, or any portion thereof at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer and (ii) shall be relieved of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform all such prior obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any such transfer, the term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Building or the Property.
By Landlord Landlord shall be responsible, at its expense, only for the structural soundness of the roof, foundation and exterior walls of the Building. Any repair to the roof, foundation or exterior walls required due to the fault or omission of Tenant, or its agents, employees, guests or invitees shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. The term “walls” as used in this Paragraph 7(a) shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, interior doors, special store fronts, office entries or exterior doors. Landlord’s liability with respect to any defects, repairs or maintenance for which Landlord is responsible at its expense under this Lease shall be limited to the cost of such repairs or maintenance or the curing of such defect. As expenses included in Common Area Maintenance Expenses, Landlord will be responsible for landscaping and maintenance of common areas and parking areas, exterior painting, and common sewage line plumbing. Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of defects or need for repairs, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to repair same or cure such defect. Landlord shall not be required to perform any covenant or obligation of this Lease, or be liable in damages to Tenant, so long as the performance or non-performance of the covenant or obligation is delayed, caused by, or prevented by an act of God or force majeure. An “act of God” or “force majeure” is defined for purposes of this Lease as strikes, lockouts, sit-downs, material or labor restrictions by any governmental authority, riots, floods, washouts, explosions, earthquakes, fire, storms, acts of the public enemy, wars, insurrections and any other similar cause not reasonably within the control of Landlord, and which by the exercise of due diligence Landlord is unable, wholly or in part, to prevent or overcome. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to be monetarily responsible for any repairs/replacements caused by any non- working interior items including but not limited to electrical, plumbing and mechanical equipment within the Premises for the first sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date of the Lease unless the need for such repairs or replacements is caused by Tenant, in which case, Tenant shall be monetarily responsible.
RE-ENTRY BY LANDLORD If Tenant shall default in the payment of any fixed rent or additional rent or any other sum or charge payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord on any date upon which the sum becomes due, or if this Lease shall expire as in Article 16 hereof provided, Landlord of Landlord's agents and servants may immediately, or at any time thereafter, re-enter into or upon the premises, or any part thereof, in the name of the whole, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, or by force or otherwise, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any persons therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the premises again as and of its first estate and interest therein. The words "re-enter", "re-entry" and "re-entered" as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings. In the event of any termination of this Lease under the provisions of Article 16 hereof or in the event that Landlord shall re-enter the premises under the provisions of this Article 17 or in the event of the termination of this Lease (or of re-entry) by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the fixed rent, additional rent and any other sum or charge payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord up to the time of such termination of this Lease, or of such recovery of possession of the premises by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord damages as provided in Article 18 hereof. In the event of a breach of threatened breach on the part of the Tenant with respect to any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions or conditions on the part of or on behalf of Tenant to be kept, observed or performed, Landlord shall also have the right of injunction. The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may lawfully be entitled at any time, and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for. In the event of (a) the termination of this Lease under the provisions of Article 16 hereof, (b) the re-entry of the premises by Landlord under the provisions of this Article 17, or (c) the termination of this Lease (or re-entry) by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to retain all monies, if any paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as advance rent, security or otherwise, but such moneys shall be credited by Landlord against any fixed rent, additional rent or any other sum or charge due from Tenant at the time of such termination or re-entry or, at Landlord's option, against any damages payable by Tenant under Article 18 hereof or pursuant to law.
