Landlord’s Default Subject to Landlord's right to dispute its obligation in accordance with Section 5.1.5(b), if Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, and any such default shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after Notice thereof with respect to monetary defaults, and thirty (30) days after Notice thereof with respect to non-monetary defaults, from Tenant to Landlord and, subject to Section 19.3, any applicable Facility Mortgagee, or such additional period as may be reasonably required to correct such non-monetary defaults, Tenant may declare the occurrence of a "Landlord Default" under this Agreement by giving Notice of such declaration to Landlord and to such Facility Mortgagee. Thereafter, Tenant may (but shall have no obligation to) cure the same and, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, paralegals' fees and court costs) incurred by Tenant in curing the same. If any such costs and expenses have not been reimbursed to Tenant as of the fifth (5th) day after the Landlord receives Tenant's Notice therefor, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, a late charge computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such reimbursement from the expiration of the applicable cure period to the date of payment thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Agreement for any default by Landlord hereunder or under the Other Leases and no right, for any such default, to offset or counterclaim against any Rent or other charges due hereunder. If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Landlord Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the applicable cure period, shall give Notice thereof to Tenant, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor, no Landlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred and Landlord shall have no obligation with respect thereto until final adverse determination thereof; provided, however, that in the event of any such adverse determination, Landlord shall pay to Tenant interest on any disputed funds at the Disbursement Rate, from the date demand for such funds was made by Tenant until the date of final adverse determination and, thereafter, at the Overdue Rate until paid. During the term of the Operating Agreement, Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless against all claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and paralegals' fees) arising from a Landlord Default under the terms and conditions of this Agreement which shall cause an Event of Default under Section 16.01 of the Operating Agreement or a breach by Landlord of its obligations under the Owner Agreement or the Pooling Agreement. The provisions of this Section 14.2 shall survive the termination, expiration or cancellation of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years.
Tenant’s Default 14.1 Any other provisions in this Lease notwithstanding, it shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Lease if: (i) Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent or any other sum payable by Tenant hereunder when due and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant that such payment has not been received, or (ii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any other material covenant or agreement of Tenant herein contained and such failure continues after written notice given by or on behalf of Landlord to Tenant for more than thirty (30) days, provided, however, that if such non-monetary Event of Default by Tenant cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, and provided further that Tenant is proceeding with due diligence to effect a cure of said Event of Default, no Event of Default hereunder shall be declared by Landlord if Tenant continues to proceed with diligence to cure said Event of Default, but in no event shall such cure period extend beyond ninety (90) days following notice from Landlord of such violation, default or breach, or (iii) Tenant files a petition commencing a voluntary case, or has filed against it a petition commencing an involuntary case, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code), as now or hereafter in effect, or under any similar law, or files or has filed against it a petition or answer in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement pursuant to any state bankruptcy law or any similar state law, and, in the case of any such involuntary action, such action shall not be dismissed, discharged or denied within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or Tenant consents or acquiesces in the filing thereof, or (iv) a custodian, receiver, trustee or liquidator of Tenant or of all or substantially all of Tenant’s property or of the Premises shall be appointed in any proceedings brought by or against Tenant and, in the latter case, such entity shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment or Tenant consents to or acquiesces in such appointment, or (v) Tenant shall generally not pay Tenant’s debts as such debts become due, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due. The notice and grace period provisions in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall have no application to the Events of Default referred to in clauses (iii) through (v) above.
14.2 If Tenant shall fail to make any payment of rent when due or if Tenant shall fail to keep and perform any express written covenant of this Lease and shall continue in default for a period of ten (10) days after Tenant has received written notice of such default and demand of performance from Landlord, Landlord may commence judicial proceedings, provided, however, if any default shall occur (other than in the payment of rent) which cannot be cured within a period of thirty (30) days and Tenant, prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days from and after the giving of notice as aforesaid, commences to eliminate such default and proceeds diligently to take steps to cure the same, Landlord shall not have the right to declare the term ended by reason thereof for an additional period of sixty (60) days.
14.3 In the event of any such Event of Default, Landlord at any time thereafter may at its option exercise any remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, including, without limitation, one or more of the following remedies:
Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord, after Notice to Tenant (which Notice shall not be required if Landlord shall reasonably determine immediate action is necessary to protect person or property), without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant and without waiving or releasing any Event of Default, may (but shall not be obligated to), at any time thereafter, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the maximum extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property or any portion thereof for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date such sums are paid by Landlord until repaid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.
Landlord’s Default and Tenant’s Remedies In the event Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless not be in default under the terms of this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of such failure to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had a reasonable period of time following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such obligations. In the event of Landlord’s default as above set forth, then, and only then, Tenant shall have the following remedies only:
A. Tenant may then proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages as provided in this Lease).
B. Tenant, at its option, may then cure any default of Landlord at Landlord’s cost. If, pursuant to this Subarticle, Tenant reasonably pays any sum to any third party or does any act that requires the payment of any sum to any third part at any time by reason of Landlord’s default, the sum paid by, Tenant shall be immediately due from Landlord to Tenant at the time Tenant supplies Landlord with an invoice therefor (provided such invoice sets forth and is accompanied by a written statement of Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the amount paid, the party to whom it was paid, the date it was paid, and the reasons giving rise to such payment), together with interest at twelve percent per annum from the date of such invoice until Tenant is reimbursed by Landlord. Tenant may not offset such sums against any installment of rent due Landlord under the terms of this Lease.
Landlord Default If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement or any obligation of Landlord, if any, under any agreement affecting the Leased Property, the performance of which is not Tenant’s obligation pursuant to this Agreement, and any such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord and any applicable Facility Mortgagee, or such additional period as may be reasonably required to correct the same, Tenant may declare the occurrence of a “Landlord Default” by a second Notice to Landlord and to such Facility Mortgagee. Thereafter, Tenant may forthwith cure the same and, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by Tenant in curing the same, together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) from the date Landlord receives Tenant’s invoice until paid, at the Overdue Rate. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Agreement for any default by Landlord hereunder and no right, for any such default, to offset or counterclaim against any Rent or other charges due hereunder. If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Landlord Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the applicable cure period, shall give Notice thereof to Tenant, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor, no Landlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred and Landlord shall have no obligation with respect thereto until final adverse determination thereof. If Tenant and Landlord shall fail, in good faith, to resolve any such dispute within ten (10) days after Landlord’s Notice of dispute, either may submit the matter for resolution in accordance with Article 22.
TENANT’S DEFAULTS In addition to any other event of default set forth in this Lease, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default by Tenant:
(a) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent required to be made by Tenant, as amid when due, where the failure continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended. For purposes of these default and remedies provisions, the term “additional rent” shall be deemed to include all amounts of any type whatsoever other than Basic Rent to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
(b) Assignment, sublease, encumbrance or other transfer of the Lease by Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether by judgment, execution, transfer by intestacy or testacy, or other means, without the prior written consent of Landlord.
(c) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement provided by Tenant, or by any affiliate, successor or guarantor of Tenant, was materially false.
(d) The failure of Tenant to timely and fully provide any subordination agreement, estoppel certificate or financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Article XIII.
(e) The failure or inability by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in any other subsection of this Section, where the failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant or such shorter period as is specified in any other provision of this Lease; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended. However, if the nature of the failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences the cure within thirty (30) days, and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.
(i) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a Chapter 7 debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to have debts discharged or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, if possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where the seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or (v) Tenant’s convening of a meeting of its creditors for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its debts. Landlord shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event described in this subsection unless notification in writing is received by Landlord, nor shall there be any presumption attributable to Landlord of Tenant’s insolvency. In the event that any provision of this subsection is contrary to applicable law, the provision shall be of no force or effect.
Landlord’s Remedies Upon occurrence of any default by Tenant under this Lease and (i) if the event of default described in Section 8.1(a) is not cured within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord of such default; provided, however, Landlord shall only be obligated to provide such written notice to Tenant once in each Lease Year and thereafter, Tenant shall be in default if it shall fail to pay any Rent or other monetary charge due from Tenant hereunder as and when due and payable; (ii) if the events described in Sections 8.1(b), (d), (f) and (g) are not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord of such default; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default under Section 8.1(b) is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall be afforded such additional period of time not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default as shall be reasonable under the circumstance, if and so long as Tenant commenced to cure within the first thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecuted the cure thereof to completion within such additional thirty (30) day period; or (iii) with no additional notice and cure period for events of defaults described in Sections 8.1(c), (e), and (h), the Landlord shall have the option to do and perform any one or more of the following in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy or right permitted it by law or in equity or by this Lease:

(c) Terminate Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises and reenter and repossess the Premises by entry, forcible entry or detainer suit or otherwise, without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant and without terminating this Lease, without acceptance of surrender of possession of the Premises, and without becoming liable for damages or guilty of trespass, in which event Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, but only to the extent provided in Section 8.3 hereinbelow (provided that in no event shall Landlord be under any obligation to relet the Premises before Landlord relets or leases any other portion of the Project or any other property under the ownership or control of Landlord) for a period equal to or lesser or greater than the remainder of the Term of the Lease on whatever terms and conditions as Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion, deems advisable. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord all Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (plus interest at the past due rate provided in Section 3.1(c) of this Lease if in arrears) plus an amount equal to (i) the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, (ii) the reasonable cost of removing and storing any of Tenant’s or any other occupant’s property left on the Premises or the Project after reentry, (iii) the cost of repairs, changes, alterations and additions to the Premises and the Project, (iv) the cost of any attempted reletting or reletting and the collection of the rent accruing from such reletting,
Default by Tenant 14.1 The following shall be deemed a default by Tenant under the terms of the Lease (“Event of Default”):
a. The failure by Tenant to pay any rent or other sum of money due hereunder within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord that such payment has not been made;
b. The failure by Tenant to perform any other of the terms, conditions or covenants of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant for more than thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord of such default, unless such default is of a nature that it cannot practicably be cured within a thirty (30) day period and Tenant is proceeding with due diligence to cure such default;
c. The making by Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of creditors;
d. The filing of a petition by or against Tenant for adjudication as a bankrupt under the Bankruptcy Act, as now or hereafter amended or supplemented, or for reorganization within the meaning of Chapter XI of the Bankruptcy Act, or the commencement of any action or proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Tenant, whether instituted by or against Tenant, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the property of Tenant, provided that no such filing or proceeding instituted by a third party shall be regarded as a default hereunder if Tenant shall promptly move to have the same dismissed, rescinded or rendered inoperative and Tenant prosecutes such action with due diligence and continues to perform and discharge all of the covenants and obligations on its part to be performed or discharged under this Lease during the pendency of such proceedings.
14.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the immediate right of re-entry and possession of the Leased Premises, which right shall remain continuous until such time as Tenant shall have cured such Event of Default.

In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant’s liability for rent and other sums payable hereunder and to perform any other term, condition, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed under this Lease shall cease and terminate as to any period subsequent to the date on which Landlord delivers to Tenant written notice of such termination. Tenant shall remain liable, however, for all rent and the performance of all terms conditions and agreements relating to matters prior to the date of such termination.
14.4 Additionally, the parties agree that any default by the co-tenant, SenCer, Inc. can be treated by Landlord as a default by Tenant as though it was Tenant’s own default. Tenant will be given the opportunity to cure such default under the terms of this Agreement. Failure of Tenant to successfully cure said default shall give Landlord the right to implement any remedy authorized under the terms of this agreement.
LESSEE'S DEFAULT (i) If Lessee shall default in the payment of the Fixed Annual Rent, any additional rent or any other sums payable by Lessee herein when due, and such default shall continue for a period of five (5) days after written notice, or (ii) if Lessee shall default in the performance of any nonmonetary covenants or agreements of this Lease and said default shall continue for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof, or in the event that the default be of such a nature as cannot with diligent effort be cured within said twenty (20) day period, if Lessee shall not commence to cure within said period and diligently prosecute remedial efforts to completion within a reasonable time thereafter, not to exceed sixty (60) (iii) if Lessee should become bankrupt or insolvent or any debtor proceedings be taken by or against Lessee or (iv) if Lessee shall abandon or vacate the Premises prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease, then and in addition to any and all other legal remedies and rights available to Lessor at law or in equity, Lessor may:

Without limiting the preceding sentence, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any consequential damages, including, without limitation, any losses arising from any interruption of Tenant’s business, or for lost profits, or for charges or expenses which continue but would have been earned if the business had gone on without interruption, or for any other loss, claim, cost, expense or damage which would be covered by a standard policy of business interruption insurance. Landlord, or if Landlord is a partnership its partners whether general or limited, or if Landlord is a corporation its directors, officers or shareholders, or if Landlord is a limited liability company its members or managers, shall never be personally liable for any such judgment.
