Remedies of Landlord Upon the occurrence of any such event of default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (as well as any other remedies provided by law or equity) without any notice or demand whatsoever:
10.2.1 Enter upon and take possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease and without relieving Tenant of its obligation to make the payments of Rent herein reserved, and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof and any personal property or trade fixtures located therein, and change or alter the locks and other security devices, without notice to Tenant and relet the Premises on behalf of Tenant, at any rental readily obtainable, and receive the rent therefor. Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish a new key to Tenant unless and until tenant cures all existing defaults and delivers to Landlord additional security satisfactory to Landlord to secure Tenant's performance of its obligations under this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the expenses of such reletting (as described in Paragraph 10.2.2 hereof), and any deficiency which may arise by reason of such reletting for the remainder of the Term. Tenant shall not be entitled to any excess obtained by Landlord in reletting over the Rent. Landlord can bring separate actions from time to time against Tenant to collect rent due and owing.
10.2.2 Terminate this Lease forthwith. In the event of such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, and any personal property or trade fixtures located therein. In the event of the termination of this Lease as provided herein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, the expenses of such reletting (including all repairs, tenant finish, improvements, brokers' and attorneys' fees and all loss or damage which Landlord may sustain by reason of such re-entry and reletting) plus an amount equal to the difference between the Rent provided for herein and the amount of Rent received by Landlord from the subsequent reletting of the Premises, for the period which would otherwise constitute the balance of the Term, which amount shall be considered accelerated and immediately due and payable, (discounted at the prime rate then in effect) per year) in full by Tenant to Landlord.
10.2.3 Cure any default of Tenant hereunder and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof plus interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure by Landlord until the date of reimbursement by Tenant.
ACCESS BY LANDLORD Under the terms of this Lease, access to the Property by Landlord may be undertaken as follows:

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.
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.
Transfers by Landlord Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all of its rights and obligations hereunder and in the Building and Property referred to herein, and in such event and upon such transfer Landlord shall be released from any further obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of Landlord for the performance of such obligations.
REMEDIES OF LESSOR At any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lessor may exercise one or more of the following remedies: (a) Lessor may terminate any or all of the Leases with respect to any or all items of Equipment subject thereto; (b) Lessor may recover from Lessee all Rent and other amounts then due and to become due under any or all of the Leases; (c) Lessor may take possession of any or all items of Equipment, wherever the same may be located, without demand or notice, without any court order or other process of law and without liability to Lessee for any damages occasioned by such taking of possession, and any such taking of possession shall not constitute a termination of any Lease; (d) Lessor may demand that Lessee return any or all items of Equipment to Lessor in accordance with Paragraph 16; and (e) Lessor may pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, seeking damages, specific performance or an injunction. Upon repossession or return of any item of the Equipment, Lessor shall sell, lease or otherwise dispose of such item in a commercially reasonable manner, with or without notice and on public or private bid, and apply the net proceeds thereof (after deducting the estimated fair market value of such item at the expiration of the term of the applicable Lease, in the case of a sale, or the rents due for any period beyond the scheduled expiration of such Lease, in the case of any subsequent lease of such item, and all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith) towards the Rent and other amounts due under such Lease, with any excess net proceeds to be retained by Lessor. Each of the remedies under this Lease shall be cumulative, and not exclusive, and in addition to any other remedy referred to herein or otherwise available to Lessor in law or in equity. Any repossession or subsequent sale or lease by Lessor of any item of Equipment shall not bar an action for a deficiency as herein provided, and the bringing of an action or the entry of judgment against Lessee shall not bar Lessor's right to repossess any or all items of Equipment.
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.
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.
Maintenance by Landlord Tenant and its employees, customers and licensees shall have the non-exclusive right to use the parking areas, if any, as may be designated by Landlord in writing, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time prescribe. Further, in multiple occupancy buildings, Landlord shall perform the roof, paving, and landscape maintenance, exterior painting and common sewage line plumbing which are otherwise Tenant's obligations under Subsection 2.2.2(a) above, and Tenant shall, in lieu of the obligations set forth under Subsection 2.2.2(a) above with respect to such items, be liable for its proportionate share (as defined in Subsection 2.2.1(b) above) of the cost and expense of Building maintenance and the care for the grounds around the Building, including but not limited to, the mowing of grass, care of shrubs, general landscaping, maintenance of parking areas, driveways and alleys, roof maintenance, exterior repainting and common sewage line plumbing; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay such other reasonable proportion of said mowing, shrub care and general landscaping costs as may be determined by Landlord in its sole discretion; and further provided that if Tenant or any other particular tenant of the Building can be clearly identified as being responsible for obstruction or stoppage of the common sanitary sewage line then Tenant, if Tenant is responsible, or such other responsible tenant, shall pay the entire cost thereof, upon demand, as additional rent. Tenant shall pay/4// when due its share, determined as aforesaid, of such costs and expenses along with the other tenants of the Building to Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, for the amount of its share of such costs and expenses in the event Landlord elects to perform or cause to be performed such work. Such share shall include a management fee equal to five percent (5%) of the Rent for each Lease Year, administrative and accounting costs, and a/5// reserve for asphalt, roof repairs and repainting.
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.

Inspection by Landlord Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Tenant Improvements at all times, provided however, that Landlord’s failure to inspect the Tenant Improvements shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder nor shall Landlord’s inspection of the Tenant Improvements constitute Landlord’s approval of the same. Should Landlord disapprove any portion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such disapproval and shall specify the items disapproved. Any defects or deviations in, and/or disapproval by Landlord of, the Tenant Improvements shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense to Landlord, provided however, that in the event Landlord determines that a defect or deviation exists or disapproves of any matter in connection with any portion of the Tenant Improvements and such defect, deviation or matter might adversely affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning or life-safety systems of the Building, the structure or exterior appearance of the Building or any other tenant’s use of such other tenant’s leased premises, Landlord may, take such action as Landlord deems necessary, at Tenant’s expense and without incurring any liability on Landlord’s part, to correct any such defect, deviation and/or matter, including, without limitation, causing the cessation of performance of the construction of the Tenant Improvements until such time as the defect, deviation and/or matter is corrected to Landlord’s satisfaction.
