ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES (a) In the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage or (ii) Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible, the Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, payable by Lessee hereunder for the period during which such damage or condition, its repair, remediation or restoration continues, shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not in excess of proceeds from insurance required to be carried under Paragraph 8.3(b). Except for abatement of Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair, remediation or restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the Premises within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. "Commence" as used in this Paragraph 9.6 shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever occurs first.
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 SERVICES 6.01. Landlord shall:
(a) maintain in reasonable condition and repair the roof, foundation, structure, infrastructure, utilities, HVAC, other Building operating systems, exterior and common areas of the Building;
(b) furnish reasonable amounts of heat and air-conditioning (.HVAC.) to the Demised Premises from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday except holidays, and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. upon request. After hours HVAC shall be provided by Landlord upon request of Tenant, so long as all costs of providing such after hours service, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, are borne by Tenant. Irrespective of the foregoing, as to each whole floor occupied by Tenant, in lieu of Saturday HVAC hours, Tenant shall be provided with three hundred (300) free hours of HVAC service per year (pro rated for the first and last lease years) at such times as Tenant may request; however, there shall be no carry over of any unused free hours from one calendar year to the next. Chilled fluid lines shall be available in the Building to permit Tenant to obtain supplemental air conditioning on a twenty-four (24) hour basis, but Tenant shall be responsible for all installation and energy costs associated therewith;
(c) provide sufficient elevator service for reasonable access to the Demised Premises;
(d) furnish reasonable janitorial services for the Demised Premises;
(e) furnish a reasonable amount of electricity for normal office use in the Demised Premises; however, Landlord's agreement to furnish electricity does not include electricity for electrical equipment requiring voltage greater than that supplied by the Building's standard receptacle circuits unless Landlord's prior written consent is obtained, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld so long as Tenant is responsible for all costs of installation and which consent shall be deemed to have been granted if such requirement is contained in Exhibits! C or C-l of this Lease;
(f) furnish in the first floor lobby of the Building a directory of the firm or business names of tenants of the Building: and
(g) provide access to hookups to any public or private right-of-ways adjacent to the Land for utilities or other communications systems available to Landlord or Tenant and accessible by Tenant by air or underground at Tenant's sole cost and expense
6.02. If Landlord defaults in the performance or observance of any provision of Paragraph 6.01 (except to the extent permitted under Paragraph 6.04), Tenant shall give Landlord notice specifying in what manner Landlord has defaulted and if such default shall not be cured by Landlord within the period of time provided for elsewhere in this Lease, and otherwise within thirty (30) consecutive days after the delivery of such notice (except that if such default cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, this period shall be extended for a reasonable additional time, provided that Landlord commences to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds diligently thereafter to effect such cure), Tenant may terminate this Lease or pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity to Tenant; provided, however, that if the Demised Premises is not supplied with utilities required pursuant to the terms of this Lease due to circumstances within the control of Landlord for a period in excess of 24 hours after of receipt by Landlord of Tenant's verbal notice of such failure, Tenant may terminate this Lease or pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity. No such termination shall relieve Landlord of its obligations under the Lease, and such obligations shall survive any such termination. No action on the part of Tenant shall limit or prejudice the right of Tenant to obtain the maximum amount of damages allowed by any statute or rule of law related to any such default by Landlord.
6.03. If, in Landlord's opinion, any Tenant shall:
(a) use any utility, including but not limited to electricity or water, in an excessive, extravagant or unreasonable manner, Landlord may install meters measuring the quantity of such utility used in the Demised Premises and Tenant, on demand, shall pay Landlord (i) all costs incident to said installation and necessary appurtenances thereto and (ii) additional rent equal to the cost of the utility used at rates equal to the rate that the supplying utility company with its own equipment would then charge Tenant for such service. If this method of furnishing utilities to Tenant is utilized, an adjustment will be made to Operating Expenses under Section 5.02 to reflect Tenant's payment of its own utilities in such a manner as to avoid requiring Tenant to pay more than the excess utilities and its ratable share of normal utilities usage included in Operating Expenses; and
(b) require removal of refuse and rubbish in larger quantities or more often than is reasonable in the rendering of janitorial service, Tenant on demand shall pay the removal cost to Landlord.
(c) No action will be taken by Landlord under Section 6.03(a) or 6.03
Acceptance of Rent 7.1 Acceptance of Rent by the Landlord or the Landlord’s Agent shall be at all times without prejudice to and shall not be a waiver of the rights and remedies of the Landlord in respect of any breach of the Tenant’s agreements of stipulations contained in this Agreement; and any Rent paid by any third party will be accepted from that person as the agent of the Tenant only and will not confer on the third party any rights as the Tenant.
Tenant’s Remedies Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if any default hereunder by Landlord is not cured within the applicable cure period provided in Paragraph 20(c) or any other applicable cure period provided in this Lease (including any Mortgagee’s additional cure period), Tenant’s exclusive remedies shall be (i) an action for specific performance, or (ii) an action for actual damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the liability of Landlord to Tenant for any breach or default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease, or for any other matter related to this Lease or to the Premises or Project, shall be limited to Tenant’s actual direct, but not consequential, damages therefor, and any judgment against Landlord in connection therewith shall be recoverable only from the interest of Landlord in the Buildings. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any disturbance, loss of business, nuisance, injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss arising from Landlord’s entry and acts pursuant to Paragraph 18 or otherwise with respect to any act, omission or breach of Landlord. 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. Any lien obtained to enforce such judgment and any levy of execution thereon shall be subject and subordinate to any Mortgage (excluding any Mortgage which was created as part of an effort to defraud creditors, i.e., a fraudulent conveyance); provided, however that any such judgment and any such levy of execution thereon shall not be subject or subordinated to any Mortgage that is created or recorded in the official records of the county in which the Project is located after the date of the judgment giving rise to such lien. Landlord’s interest in the Buildings shall include any insurance proceeds received by Landlord which are not controlled by any Mortgagee or other lender. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any Laws granting it (A) the right to perform Landlord’s obligations, or (B) the right to terminate this Lease or withhold Rent on account of any Landlord default, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code.
DAMAGE TO LEASED PREMISES In the event the building housing the Premises shall be destroyed or damaged as a result of any fire or other casualty which is not the result of the intentional acts or neglect of Lessee and which precludes or adversely affects the Lessee’s occupancy of the Premises, then in every such cause, the rent herein set forth shall be abated or adjusted according to the extent to which the leased Premises have been rendered unfit for use and occupation by the Lessee and until the demised Premises have been put in a condition at the expense of the Lessor, at least to the extent of the value and as nearly as possible to the condition of the Premises existing immediately prior to such damage. It is understood, however, in the event of total or substantial destruction to the Premises that in no event shall the Lessor's obligation to restore, replace or rebuild exceed an amount equal to the sum of the insurance proceeds available for reconstruction with respect to said damage.
Net Rent It is the intent of the Landlord and Tenant that this Lease shall yield, net to Landlord, the Base Rent specified and all Additional Rent and charges in each month during the term of the Lease, and that all costs, expenses and obligations of every kind relating to the Leased Premises shall be paid by the Tenant, unless expressly assumed by the Landlord.
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:
(a) Continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate this Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent, Additional Rent and other charges when due.
(b) Terminate this Lease, and Landlord may in accordance within applicable laws forthwith repossess the Premises and be entitled to recover as damages a sum of money equal to the total of (i) the cost of recovering the Premises, (ii) the cost of removing and storing Tenant’s or any other occupant’s property, (iii) the unpaid Rent and any other sums accrued hereunder at the date of termination, (iv) a sum equal to the amount, if any, by which the present value of the total Rent and other benefits which would have accrued to Landlord under this Lease for the remainder of the Term, if the terms of this Lease had been fully complied with by Tenant, discounted at eight percent (8%) per annum exceeds the total fair market value of the Premises for the balance of the Term, also discounted back to present value at eight percent (8%) per annum (it being the agreement of the parties hereto that Landlord shall receive the benefit of its bargain), (v) the cost of reletting the Premises including, without limitation, the cost of restoring the Premises to the condition necessary to rent the Premises at the prevailing market rental rate, normal wear and tear excepted, (vi) any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of the Premises, (vii) amount of any unamortized improvements to the Premises paid for by Landlord, (viii) the amount of any unamortized brokerage commissions or other costs paid, (ix) the cost of decorations, repairs, changes, alterations and additions to the Premises, (x) the cost of any brokerage fees or commissions payable by Landlord in connection with any reletting or attempted reletting, (xi) any other sum of money or damages owed by Tenant to Landlord. 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,
Abatement of Rent In the event that Tenant is prevented from using the Premises or any material portion thereof (meaning that Tenant is unable to use that portion of the Premises in the normal course of its business) as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration negligently performed by Landlord, or which Landlord failed to perform, as required by this Lease; or (ii) the presence of, or cleanup or remediation activities in connection with, Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Landlord or a Landlord Party; or (iii) cessation of utilities or services caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct (any such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i) through (iii), above, to be known as an “Abatement Event”), then Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for two (2) consecutive business days after such notice, or occurs for ten (10) non-consecutive business days in a twelve (12) month period (in either of such events, the “Eligibility Period”), then the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using the Premises, or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the floor area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using (“Unusable Area”), bears to the total floor area of the Premises. If Landlord has not cured such Abatement Event within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first ten (10) business days of each calendar month following the end of such 180-day period until such time as Landlord has cured the Abatement Event, which right may be exercised only by delivery of thirty (30) days’ notice to Landlord and Landlord’s Lender (provided such Lender’s name and notice address were previously provided to Tenant) (the “Abatement Event Termination Notice”) during such ten (10) business-day period, and shall be effective as of a date set forth in the Abatement Event Termination Notice (the “Abatement Event Termination Date”), which Abatement Event Termination Date shall not be less than thirty (30) days, and not more than one (1) year, following the delivery of the Abatement Event Termination Notice. Tenant’s Abatement Event Termination Notice shall be null and void (but only in connection with the first notice sent by Tenant with respect to each separate Abatement Event) if Landlord or Landlord’s Lender(s) cures such Abatement Event within such thirty (30) day period following receipt of the Abatement Event Termination Notice.
