Security Deposit Tenant has deposited or concurrently herewith is depositing with Landlord the sum set forth in Article 1.F. of the Basic Lease Provisions as security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant breaches any provision of this Lease, including but not limited to the payment of rent, Landlord may use all or any part of this security deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sums in default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's default. If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit funds with Landlord in a form acceptable under Section 3(b) above and in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its full amount. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be required to keep the security deposit in trust, segregate it or keep it separate from Landlord's general funds, but Landlord may commingle the security deposit with its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. At the expiration of the Term, and provided there exists no default by Tenant hereunder, the security deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to Tenant's "Transferee", as such term is defined in Article 15 below), provided that subsequent to the expiration of this Lease, Landlord may retain from said security deposit (i) an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord to cover potential Direct Cost reconciliation payments due with respect to the calendar year in which this Lease terminates or expires (such amount so retained shall not, in any event, exceed ten percent (10%) of estimated Direct Cost payments due from Tenant for such calendar year through the date of expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and any amounts so retained and not applied to such reconciliation shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord's delivery of the Statement for such calendar year), (ii) any and all amounts reasonably estimated by Landlord to cover the anticipated costs to be incurred by Landlord to remove any signage provided to Tenant under this Lease, to remove cabling and other items required to be removed by Tenant under Section 29(b) below and to repair any damage caused by such removal (in which case any excess amount so retained by Landlord shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such removal and repair), and (iii) any and all amounts permitted by law or this Article 4. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Article 4 above, and all of Landlord's damages under this Lease and California law including, but not limited to, any damages accruing upon termination of this Lease under Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent, contractor or invitee of Tenant.
Rent and Security Deposit i. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord for the Leased Premises in lawful money of the United States rent for the first twelve (12) months of the term hereof at the rate of Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) per square foot of occupied space, in advance, except that the monthly installment which otherwise shall be due on the commencement date recited above, shall be due and payable on the date hereof. Thereafter one such monthly installment shall be due and payable without demand on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the commencement date; further provided, that the rental payment for any fractional calendar month at the commencement or end of the Lease term shall be prorated. The rate charged for rent shall increase by $0.50 (Fifty Cents) per year for each such succeeding twelve (12) month period.
ii. In addition, Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord on the date hereof the sum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), which sum shall be held by Landlord, without obligation for interest, as security for the full, timely and faithful performance of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood and agreed that such deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law, use such funds to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of rent or other payments due to Landlord hereunder, and any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused by any event of Tenant's default; and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Although the security deposit shall be deemed the property of Landlord, any remaining balance of such deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant at such time after termination of this Lease when Landlord shall have determined that all Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled. Subject to the other terms and conditions contained in this Lease, if the Building is conveyed by Landlord, said deposit may be turned over to Landlord's grantee, and if so, Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all liability with respect to said deposit and its application or return.
Acceptance of Leased Premises On or before the Possession Date, Tenant and Landlord shall each execute the letter agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Letter Agreement”). By its execution of the Letter Agreement or occupancy of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to represent and certify that it has examined the Leased Premises and that it thereby accepts the Leased Premises in its condition at the time, except for the list of defects and/or omissions identified in writing prior to the Possession Date (the “Punch-List”) and latent defects, but subject, in all cases, to Landlord’s repair, maintenance and replacement obligations set forth in this Lease and to the warranty related to the Tenant Improvements, as provided in the Work Letter Agreement. After the notice provided in Section 3.03 and prior to the Possession Date, the parties shall meet in the Leased Premises to establish the Punch-List. Landlord shall review the Punch-List items with Tenant and correct all undisputed Punch- List items within a reasonable time, not to exceed thirty (30) days after receipt of the Punch- List; provided that, if any Punch-List items cannot be corrected within such thirty (30) day period despite reasonable diligence by Landlord, then, so long as Landlord commences correction of such Punch-List items within such thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues such correction to completion, no default by Landlord shall be deemed to have occurred. Punch-List items for completion taking longer than six (6) months to complete (and not otherwise the result of Force Majeure, Tenant Delay, or the COVID-19 Condition) shall trigger a day for day prorated Minimum Monthly Rent abatement. The Tenant Improvements shall be subject to a two (2) year warranty, from the Possession Date, with regard to materials, design and workmanship, as provided in more detail in the Work Letter Agreement. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord in providing required information as needed for Landlord to pursue vendor warranties on a timely basis, as requested in writing by Landlord. Landlord will pursue any valid warranty claims against its contractor beyond the two (2) year warranty provided that any expenses incurred and/or any recovery obtained shall be treated as either additional Operating Costs or an offset to Operating Costs under Section 5.03(a).
