Landlord’s Rights Landlord, Agent and their respective agents, employees and representatives shall have the right to enter and/or pass through the Premises at any time or times upon reasonable prior notice (except in the event of emergency): (a) to examine and inspect the Premises and to show them to actual and prospective lenders, prospective purchasers or mortgagees of the Property or providers of capital to Landlord and its affiliates; and (b) to make such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements in or to all or any portion of either or both of the Premises and the Property, or the Property’s facilities and equipment as Landlord is required or desires to make. Landlord and Agent shall be allowed to take all materials into and upon the Premises that may be required in connection with any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, without any liability to Tenant and without any reduction or modification of Tenant’s covenants and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to limit interference with Tenant’s business operations and Tenant’s occupancy and use of the Premises. During the period of six months prior to the Expiration Date (or at any time, if Tenant has vacated or abandoned the Premises or is otherwise in default under this Lease), Landlord and its agents may exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants. Additionally, Landlord and Agent shall have the following rights with respect to the Premises, exercisable without notice to Tenant, without liability to Tenant, and without being deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises or giving rise to any claim for setoff or abatement of Rent: (i) to designate and approve, prior to installation, all types of signs; (ii) to have pass keys, access cards, or both, to the Premises; and (iii) to decorate, remodel, repair, alter or otherwise prepare the Premises for reoccupancy at any time after Tenant vacates or abandons the Premises for more than 30 consecutive days or without notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to reoccupy the Premises.
Landlord’s Right to Perform Tenant’s Covenants Tenant covenants and agrees that, if it shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, then Landlord, in its sole discretion may after due notice to, or demand upon, Tenant and subject to the limitations set forth below, make any payment or perform any other act on the part of Tenant to be made and performed as in this Lease provided, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable, and in exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses, employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. The making of any such payment or the performing of any other act by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall not waive, or release Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonably necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord shall, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, be payable to Landlord on demand, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums promptly, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the Base Rent. Whenever practicable, Landlord, before proceeding as provided in this Section 12.4, shall give Tenant notice in writing of the failure of Tenant which Landlord proposes to remedy, and shall allow Tenant such length of time as may be reasonable in the circumstances, consistent with any grace periods contained herein, but not exceeding 30 days from the giving of notice, to remedy the failure itself and, if Tenant shall not remedy the failure in the time so allowed, Landlord shall be deemed to have given “due notice” and may proceed as provided in this Section 12.4; provided that nothing in this Section shall prevent Landlord from acting without notice to Tenant in case of any emergency wherein there is danger to property or person or where there may exist any violation of legal requirements including but not limited to the presence of Hazardous Materials, in which event no notice shall be required.
LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS (a) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Landlord contained in Sections 20.2 and 20.3 above, if Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions to be performed or complied with by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, then Landlord may at Landlord’s option, without any obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant perform any such term, provision, covenant, or condition, or make any such payment and Landlord by reason of so doing shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage thereby sustained by Tenant or anyone holding under or through Tenant or any of Tenant’s Agents.
(b) Without limiting the rights of Landlord under Sections 20.2 and 20.3 above, Landlord shall have the right at Landlord’s option, without any obligation to do so, to perform any of Tenant’s covenants or obligations under this Lease without notice to Tenant in the case of an emergency, as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute judgment, or if Landlord determines, in its sole and absolute judgment, that such action is necessary or desirable to avoid imminent harm to the Premises or any persons.
(c) If Landlord performs any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder in accordance with this Section 20.4, the full amount of the cost and expense incurred or the payment so made or the amount of the loss so sustained shall immediately be owing by Tenant to Landlord, and Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord upon demand, as Additional Charges, the full amount thereof with interest thereon from the date of payment by Landlord at the lower of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
Tenant’s Rights If a material portion of the Premises is damaged by Casualty such that Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Casualty and Landlord estimates that the damage caused thereby cannot be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days after the commencement of repairs (the “Repair Period”), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.
Landlord’s Right to Enter Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises during normal business hours after giving Tenant reasonable notice (which shall be prior written notice except in the event of a circumstance which Landlord in good faith believes to be an emergency) and subject to Tenant’s reasonable security measures for the purpose of (i) inspecting the same; (ii) showing the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or, during the last nine (9) months of the Lease Term or during any period that Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default beyond the applicable cure period, if any, expressly set forth in this Lease, tenants; (iii) making necessary alterations, additions or repairs; and (iv) performing any of Tenant’s obligations when Tenant has failed to do so after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period expressly set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises during normal business hours (or as otherwise agreed), subject to Tenant’s reasonable security measures, for purposes of supplying any maintenance or services agreed to be supplied by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Common Areas during normal business hours for purposes of (i) inspecting the exterior of the Building and the Common Areas; (ii) posting notices of nonresponsibility (and for such purposes Tenant shall provide Landlord at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of any work to be performed on the Leased Premises, as well as notice within one (1) day after the commencement of such work); and (iii) supplying any services to be provided by Landlord. Landlord shall also have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to access the Building’s vertical risers and the interstitial space above Tenant’s acoustical ceiling to connect new utility and communications lines from other floors to the base Building utility lines; all of such work shall be done after hours or on weekends. Any entry into the Leased Premises or the Common Areas obtained by Landlord in accordance with this paragraph shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Leased Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive of Tenant from the Leased Premises or any portion thereof. Landlord shall conduct all of Landlord’s activities on the Leased Premises during such period of entry in a manner designed to cause minimal interference to Tenant and Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.
Landlord’s Obligations (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Landlord shall not, under any circumstances, be required to build or rebuild any improvement on the Leased Property, or to make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or nonstructural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, or to maintain the Leased Property in any way. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Tenant hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs at any Property at the expense of Landlord pursuant to any law in effect on the Commencement Date for such Property or thereafter enacted. Landlord shall have the right to give, record and post, as appropriate, notices of nonresponsibility under any mechanic’s lien laws now or hereafter existing.
(b) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Tenant is required to make any expenditures in connection with any repair, maintenance or renovation with respect to any Property, Tenant may, at its election, advance such funds or give Landlord Notice thereof, which Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the nature of the required repair, renovation or replacement, the estimated cost thereof and such other information with respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably require. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Tenant shall otherwise comply with the applicable provisions of Article 6, Landlord shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such Notice, subject to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article 6, disburse such required funds to Tenant (or, if Tenant shall so elect, directly to the Manager or any other Person performing the required work) and, upon such disbursement, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1.1(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect not to disburse such required funds to Tenant; provided, however, that if Landlord shall elect not to disburse such required funds as aforesaid, Tenant’s obligation to make such required repair, renovation or replacement shall be deemed waived by Landlord, and, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Tenant shall have no obligation to make such required repair, renovation or replacement.
LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ENTRY 7.1. Landlord and Landlord's agents and representatives shall have the right, when accompanied by a representative of Tenant, to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours and upon reasonable notice, as more particularly hereinafter described, for the following purposes: (i) performing maintenance, repairs, or alterations to the Premises but only in the event of default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease; (ii) showing the Premises to prospective new tenants during the last twelve (12) months of the Term; (iii) showing the Premises during the Term to any mortgagees or prospective purchasers of the Premises; or (iv) curing any default by Tenant in performing its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and grace period.

7.3. In connection with any entry by Landlord pursuant to this Article 7, Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption of Tenant's use of the Premises and all work performed by or on behalf of Landlord in or on the Premises pursuant to this Article 7 shall be performed with as little inconvenience to Tenant's business as is reasonably possible. Tenant shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to designate a representative to accompany Landlord, or any third parties, while they are on the Premises.
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:

In the event Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall at once have all the rights of reentry upon the Premises available under North Carolina law, without becoming liable for damages, or guilty of trespass.
(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,
Landlord’s Right To Mortgage Tenant agrees to accept the premises subject to and subordinate to any existing or future mortgage or other lien, and Landlord reserves the right to subject premises to same. Tenant agrees to and hereby irrevocably grants Landlord power of attorney for Tenant for the sole purpose of executing and delivering in the name of the Tenant any document(s) related to the Landlord’s right to subject the premises to a mortgage or other lien.
Tenant’s Obligations 9.2.1 Tenant shall, at all times during the Term and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep the Premises and every part thereof including structural and non-structural in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and casualty as described in Section 18 excepted.

Tenant's obligations shall include restorations, replacements or renewals when necessary to keep the Premises and all improvements thereon or a part thereof in good order, condition and state of repair. If, inclusive of Tenant's occupancy pursuant to earlier lease agreement(s) and amendments thereto, Tenant has occupied the Premises for seven (7) years or more, Landlord may require Tenant to repaint the exterior of the buildings on the Premises as reasonably required, but not more frequently than once every seven (7) years.
