BASE RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT (a) Tenant agrees to pay during each month of the Lease Term as Base Rent (“Base Rent”) for the Premises the sums shown for such periods in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions.
Rent and Security Deposit Lessee covenants, stipulates and agrees to pay to Lessor as rent for the Leased Premises the following:
Tenant Security Deposits All unapplied tenant security deposits (and interest thereon if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) under the Leases, shall be credited to Buyer at Closing.
Security Deposit Concurrently with Tenant’s delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum, if any, stated in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions, to be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (the “Security Deposit”). Landlord shall not be required to keep this Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. Subject to the last sentence of this Section, the Security Deposit shall be understood and agreed to be the property of Landlord upon Landlord’s receipt thereof, and may be utilized by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion towards the payment of all expenses by Landlord for which Tenant would be required to reimburse Landlord under this Lease. Upon any Event of Default by Tenant (as defined in Section 14.1), Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, use or apply the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to pay any sum which Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease including, but not limited to, sums that Landlord may reasonably expend or be required to expend by reason of the Event of Default by Tenant or any loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of the Event of Default or costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the repair or restoration of the Premises pursuant to Section 15.3 of this Lease upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to apply the Security Deposit upon an Event of Default and Landlord’s rights and remedies resulting from an Event of Default, including without limitation, Tenant’s failure to pay Basic Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses or any other amount due to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, shall not be diminished or altered in any respect due to the fact that Landlord is holding the Security Deposit. If any portion of the Security Deposit is applied by Landlord as permitted by this Section, Tenant shall within five (5) business days after written demand by Landlord deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Tenant fully performs its obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term, provided that Tenant agrees that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit to the extent and until such time as all amounts due from Tenant in accordance with this Lease have been determined (which determination shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and paid in full and Tenant agrees that Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for Landlord’s retaining such Security Deposit to the extent provided in this Section. Provided that no Event of Default has theretofore occurred under any provision of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to have the Security Deposit reduced to the amount of One Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand One Hundred Eight Dollars ($123,108.00) by sending written request thereof to Landlord, which request shall be accompanied by Tenant’s audited Statements demonstrating two (2) immediately prior consecutive years of positive net income for Tenant. Following such written request to Landlord, Tenant shall be credited in the amount of the difference between the amount of the Security Deposit stated in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions and the reduced amount of Security Deposit set forth above, against Basic Rent and Operating Expenses next coming due under this Lease.
Prepaid Rent Tenant shall, upon execution of this Lease, pay to Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as "First Month's Prepaid Rent" as prepayment of rent for credit against the first payment of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder.
Security Deposits Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with all Legal Requirements relating to security deposits.
Lease Deposit Upon the execution hereof, Lessor shall loan Lessee an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the first full year's Base Rent (the "Lease Deposit"). The Lease Deposit shall be held by Lessor as security for the performance by Lessee of Lessee's covenants and obligations under the Lease. The Lease Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of rental or a measure of Lessor's damages in case of default by Lessee. Lessor may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use the proceeds thereof to make good any arrearages of Rent, to satisfy any other covenant or obligation of Lessee hereunder or to compensate Lessor for any other loss or damage which Lessor may suffer by reason of any default by Lessee. Following any such use of the Lease Deposit by the Lessor, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor on demand an amount sufficient to restore the aggregate amount held by Lessor, not including any interest earned on the Lease Deposit, to the amount of the original Lease Deposit. If Lessee is not in default at the termination of the Lease, and has complied with all of the provisions of this Lease to be performed by Lessee, including surrender of the Leased Property in accordance with the provisions hereof and has repaid the loan of the Lease Deposit, the Lease Deposit, not including any interest earned on such Lease Deposit, shall be returned by Lessor to Lessee, subject to any draws which have previously been made by Lessor against the Lease Deposit and not replenished by the Lessee. Lessee will not assign or encumber Lessee's interest in the Lease Deposit, and neither Lessor nor Lessor's successors or assigns will be bound by any such attempted assignment or encumbrance of the Lease Deposit. Any interest earned on the Lease Deposit will be for the sole benefit of the Lessor and shall not in any way reduce any amounts owed by Lessee under the terms hereof.
Security Deposit Letter of Credit As a condition of this Lease, in lieu of a third-party guaranty, Tenant shall, with delivery of the Lease executed by Tenant, deliver to Landlord an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit, in a form approved by Landlord, from a commercial banking institution which is a member of FDIC with assets of more than $250,000,000.00, approved by Landlord, in the amount of $100,000.00 (“Letter of Credit”) to be held by Landlord as security for the performance by Tenant of all the covenants and obligations of Tenant set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall submit its proposed form of Letter of Credit prior to execution of the Lease for Landlord’s review and approval. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall keep the Letter of Credit in full force and effect throughout the Term of this Lease (and any extension or renewal thereof) and for thirty (30) days following the end thereof. In the event the term of the Letter of Credit must be renewed annually, then not less than thirty (30) days prior to any expiration date of the Letter of Credit (“Renewal Deadline”), Tenant shall provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit or extension amendment. Said Letter of Credit shall contain terms whereby it can be drawn on by Landlord at sight on any date during its term on which issuer shall receive from Landlord a certification signed by Landlord stating that an Event of Default has occurred by Tenant under this Lease or that Tenant has failed to provide a replacement Letter of Credit, as required under the Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord is the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit and the proceeds thereof are not the property of the Tenant. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to apply the proceeds against any or all amounts then due and owing by Tenant hereunder and/or against sums expended by Landlord, including attorneys fees. Such actions by Landlord do not negate Tenant’s obligations to pay Rental thereafter. Any balance left of the sum received from drawing on the Letter of Credit, after the curing of defaults and/or the payment of amounts due by Tenant, shall be held by Landlord, as beneficiary, until the earlier of the replacement of the Letter of Credit, as required below, or thirty (30) days following the end of the Term of this Lease (and any extension or renewal thereof). The original Letter of Credit or any portion of the proceeds which are not utilized by Landlord for any purpose permitted under this Lease shall be returned to the issuing banking institution within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term provided Tenant has performed all of the remaining obligations imposed upon Tenant pursuant to this Lease. In the event Landlord shall draw on any Letter of Credit provided by Tenant, Tenant shall replace same no later than thirty (30) days after the date of such drawing and, if same is not replaced, such failure shall constitute an additional Event of Default under the terms of this Lease and Landlord shall have the benefit of all remedies permitted pursuant to the terms of this Lease and the laws of the State where the Premises are located.
Base Rent and Additional Rent Tenant shall pay to Landlord the following amounts as rent for the Premises:
Advance Rent The first full month’s rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease as advance rent, provided, however, that such amount shall be held by Landlord as an additional “Security Deposit” pursuant to this Lease until it is applied by Landlord to the first Minimum Monthly Rent due hereunder.
