Termination of Lease (a) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that, effective as of the Termination Date, the Lease and the term thereof shall terminate and expire, and Tenant’s estate in and right of possession to the Premises shall terminate and be wholly extinguished, as if said Termination Date was originally set forth in the Lease as the expiration date thereunder. Effective as of the Termination Date, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights or obligations under the Lease, except as provided in this Agreement. Effective as of the Termination Date, Landlord and Tenant for themselves and their predecessors-in-interest, successors and assigns, do hereby release and forever discharge each other, their successors and assigns, from all actions, causes of action, sums of money, covenants, agreements, promises, damages, judgments, claims and demands whatsoever in law or in equity which each against the other ever had, now has, or which they or their respective predecessors, successors or assigns hereafter may have, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever from the beginning of the world through the Termination Date arising out of or in connection with the Lease or the Premises, or the Building; provided that (A) neither party shall be released from any of its obligations under this Agreement (and this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Lease), (B) neither Landlord or Tenant shall be released from any indemnification obligations that accrued under the Lease prior to the Termination Date and (C) the provisions of Section 8.13 and Section 8.21 of the Lease shall survive the termination of the Lease. Effective as of the Termination Date, Landlord shall be entitled to lease the Premises to any person or entity, or take any other action with respect thereto, free from any claim of Tenant or any person or entity claiming through Tenant.
(b) On or prior to the Termination Date, Tenant agrees to surrender unto Landlord and its successors and assigns, and Landlord agrees to accept, the Premises in its “as is” condition.
(c) In consideration of this Agreement and the termination of the Lease, Tenant agrees to permit the letter of credit in the amount of $8,698,662.00 issued by Citibank, N.A. (the “Letter of Credit”) which Letter of Credit Landlord is presently holding as security under the Lease, to be drawn down for the payment of the following sums: (i) $7,800,000.00 (the “Termination Fee”) to be drawn down and paid to Landlord in consideration of the termination of the Lease and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) $898,662.00, representing the balance of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit shall be paid to Tenant. Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to draw on the Letter of Credit and the entire proceeds of the Letter of Credit (the “Proceeds”) and Landlord agrees to deliver Tenant’s share of the Proceeds described in clause (ii) above to Tenant’s bank account within three (3) Business Days of Landlord’s receipt of the entire Proceeds in accordance with Tenant’s wire instructions attached hereto as Exhibit A. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, it is agreed that in no event shall Tenant at any time be entitled to receive any other sums from Landlord in connection with the Lease, including, without limitation, all or any portion of the Work Allowance or any reimbursement of any amounts previously paid by Tenant to Landlord in connection with the construction of the Terrace Space. Contemporaneously herewith, Landlord shall deliver a sight draft to the issuer of the Letter of Credit in order to obtain payment of the Proceeds, which sight draft shall provide for the Proceeds to be paid to Landlord’s bank account, as designated by Landlord. Tenant hereby agrees to cooperate with Landlord and execute any and all documents required by the issuing bank in order to facilitate Landlord’s efforts to draw down on the Proceeds of the Letter of Credit. The effectiveness of the surrender and termination provided for in this Agreement is subject to, and conditioned upon, Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Fee in accordance with the terms hereof. If Landlord does not receive the Termination Fee in accordance with the terms hereof, then the termination of the Lease shall automatically be null and void and of no further force or effect and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had never been entered into.
(d) Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify Landlord for, any and all transfer taxes, sales taxes or other taxes or similar charges imposed by any federal, state or local governmental authority or under any Law arising from or relating to this Agreement, the Termination Fee or any of the other transactions hereunder. Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord a New York State Form TP 584 and a New York City Form RPT.
(e) Landlord and Tenant agree that the disgorgement of any portion of the Termination Fee or the avoidance in whole or in part of this Agreement, under any applicable law, including, but not limited to, chapter 5 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), shall be considered a breach of this Agreement by Tenant and shall entitle Landlord to seek the full amount of the Obligations and any other damages to which Landlord is entitled under the Lease from Tenant resulting from the breach of this Agreement.
Condition of Leased Premises Tenant hereby acknowledges that Xxxxxx has examined the leased premises prior to the signing of this Lease, or knowingly waived said examination. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has not relied on any representations made by Landlord or Landlord’s agents regarding the condition of the leased premises and that Tenant takes premises in its AS-IS condition with no express or implied warranties or representations beyond those contained herein or required by applicable Georgia law. Xxxxxx agrees not to damage the premises through any act or omission, and to be responsible for any damages sustained through the acts or omissions of Tenant, Xxxxxx’s family or Xxxxxx’s invitees, licensees, and/or guests. If such damages are incurred, Tenant is required to pay for any resulting repairs at the same time and in addition to the next month’s rent payment, with consequences for non-payment identical to those for non- payment of rent described herein. At the expiration or termination of the Lease, Tenant shall return the leased premises in as good condition as when taken by Tenant at the commencement of the lease, with only normal wear-and-tear excepted. Any modification of this lease shall not be binding upon Landlord unless in writing and signed by Landlord or Landlord’s authorized agent. No oral representation shall be effective to modify this Lease. If, as per the terms of this paragraph, any provision of this lease is newly added, modified, or stricken out, the remainder of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
Condition of Leased Property Tenant acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property and Tenant accepts the Leased Property in its “as is” condition, subject to the rights of parties in possession, the existing state of title, including all covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations, mineral leases, easements and other matters of record or that are visible or apparent on the Leased Property, all applicable Legal Requirements, the lien of any financing instruments, mortgages and deeds of trust existing prior to the Commencement Date or permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and such other matters which would be disclosed by an inspection of the Leased Property and the record title thereto or by an accurate survey thereof. TENANT REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS INSPECTED THE LEASED PROPERTY AND ALL OF THE FOREGOING AND HAS FOUND THE CONDITION THEREOF SATISFACTORY AND IS NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF LANDLORD OR LANDLORD’S AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WITH RESPECT THERETO AND TENANT WAIVES ANY CLAIM OR ACTION AGAINST LANDLORD IN RESPECT OF THE CONDITION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY. LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT. To the maximum extent permitted by law, however, Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all of Landlord’s rights to proceed against any predecessor in interest or insurer for breaches of warranties or representations or for latent defects in the Leased Property. Landlord shall fully cooperate with Tenant in the prosecution of any such claims, in Landlord’s or Tenant’s name, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Landlord from and against any loss, cost, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with such cooperation.
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 Default and Tenant’s Remedies In the event Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless not be in default under the terms of this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of such failure to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had a reasonable period of time following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such obligations. In the event of Landlord’s default as above set forth, then, and only then, Tenant shall have the following remedies only:
A. Tenant may then proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages as provided in this Lease).
B. Tenant, at its option, may then cure any default of Landlord at Landlord’s cost. If, pursuant to this Subarticle, Tenant reasonably pays any sum to any third party or does any act that requires the payment of any sum to any third part at any time by reason of Landlord’s default, the sum paid by, Tenant shall be immediately due from Landlord to Tenant at the time Tenant supplies Landlord with an invoice therefor (provided such invoice sets forth and is accompanied by a written statement of Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the amount paid, the party to whom it was paid, the date it was paid, and the reasons giving rise to such payment), together with interest at twelve percent per annum from the date of such invoice until Tenant is reimbursed by Landlord. Tenant may not offset such sums against any installment of rent due Landlord under the terms of this Lease.
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.
Alterations and Tenant’s Property Any alterations, additions, or improvements made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, including additional locks or bolts of any kind or nature upon any doors or windows in the Premises, but excluding installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems (other than removal of furniture systems owned or paid for by Landlord) not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to Building Systems (as defined in Section 13) (“Alterations”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion if any such Alteration affects the structure or Building Systems and shall not be otherwise unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant may construct nonstructural cosmetic Alterations in the Premises without Landlord’s prior approval if the aggregate cost of all such work in any 12 month period does not exceed $50,000 (a “Notice-Only Alteration”), provided Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of such intended Notice-Only Alteration, and such notice shall be accompanied by plans, specifications, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the Notice-Only Alteration as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, which notice and accompanying materials shall be delivered to Landlord not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction. If Landlord approves any Alterations, Landlord may impose such conditions on Tenant in connection with the commencement, performance and completion of such Alterations as Landlord may deem appropriate in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any request for approval shall be in writing, delivered not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction, and accompanied by plans, specifications, bid proposals, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the alterations as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, including the identities and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials. Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to ensure that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, all Alterations to comply with insurance requirements and with Legal Requirements and shall implement at its sole cost and expense any alteration or modification required by Legal Requirements as a result of any Alterations. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on demand an amount equal to 5% of all charges incurred by Tenant or its contractors or agents in connection with any Alteration to cover Landlord’s overhead and expenses for plan review, coordination, scheduling and supervision. Before Tenant begins any Alteration, Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for, and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from, any expense incurred by Landlord by reason of faulty work done by Tenant or its contractors, delays caused by such work, or inadequate cleanup. Tenant shall furnish security or make other arrangements satisfactory to Landlord to assure payment for the completion of all Alterations work free and clear of liens, and shall provide (and cause each contractor or subcontractor to provide) certificates of insurance for workers’ compensation and other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and subcontractors who did the work and final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors; and (ii) “as built” plans for any such Alteration. Except for Removable Installations (as hereinafter defined), all Installations (as hereinafter defined) shall be and shall remain the property of Landlord during the Term and following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, shall not be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, at the time its approval of any such Installation is requested, or at the time it receives notice of a Notice-Only Alteration, notify Tenant that Landlord requires that Tenant remove such Installation upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, in which event Tenant shall remove such Installation in accordance with the immediately succeeding sentence. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove (i) all wires, cables or similar equipment which Tenant has installed in the Premises or in the risers or plenums of the Building, (ii) any Installations for which Landlord has given Tenant notice of removal in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and (iii) all of Tenant’s Property (as hereinafter defined), and Tenant shall restore and repair any damage caused by or occasioned as a result of such removal, including, without limitation, capping off all such connections behind the walls of the Premises and repairing any holes. During any restoration period beyond the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord as provided herein as if said space were otherwise occupied by Tenant. If Landlord is requested by Tenant or any lender, lessor or other person or entity claiming an interest in any of Tenant’s Property to waive any lien Landlord may have against any of Tenant’s Property, and Landlord consents to such waiver, then Landlord shall be entitled to be paid as administrative rent a fee of $1,000 per occurrence for its time and effort in preparing and negotiating such a waiver of lien.
Tenant’s Right to Terminate Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease following a Casualty if any of the following occurs: (i) Landlord’s Architect determines (which determination shall be made and forwarded to Tenant promptly after such Casualty) that the Premises cannot, with reasonable diligence, be repaired by Landlord to a substantially similar condition as existed prior to such Casualty (or cannot be safely repaired because of the presence of hazardous factors, including, but not limited to, Hazardous Materials, earthquake faults and other similar dangers) within 360 days after the date of such Casualty and the Casualty materially adversely impacts Tenant’s use of a material portion of the Premises, or (ii) the Premises is destroyed or materially damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term and Landlord’s Architect determines (which determination shall be made and forwarded to Tenant promptly after such Casualty) that such damage will require more than sixty (60) days to repair, or (iii) the Premises are not actually repaired by Landlord to a substantially similar condition as existed prior to such Casualty within 380 days following such Casualty and the Casualty materially adversely impacts Tenant’s use of a material portion of the Premises. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease following a Casualty pursuant to this Section 7.3, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s Architect’s determination (or within 30 days of the applicable restoration period should Landlord fail to complete repairs during such period), and this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice of election to terminate.
DESCRIPTION OF LEASED PREMISES The Lessor agrees to lease to the Lessee the following described square feet (SF) of Additional Description: Hereinafter known as the “Premises”.
Landlord’s Right to Terminate Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which right may be exercised by delivery to Tenant of a written notice of election to terminate within forty-five (45) days after the date of such damage:
A. The Project is damaged by an Insured Peril to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds ten percent (10%) of the then actual replacement cost thereof, or the Building in which the Premises is located is damaged to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the then actual replacement cost thereof;
B. Either the Project or the Building is damaged by an Uninsured Peril to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore exceeds two percent (2%) of the then actual replacement cost of the Building;
C. The Premises are damaged by any peril within twelve (12) months of the last day of the Lease Term to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore equals or exceeds an amount equal to six (6) times the Base Monthly Rent then due; or
D. Either the Project or the Building is damaged by any peril and, because of the Laws then in force, (i) cannot be restored at reasonable cost to substantially the same condition in which it was prior to such damage, or (ii) cannot be used for the same use being made thereof before such damage if restored as required by this Article.
E. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) the term “Insured Peril” shall mean a peril actually insured against for which the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord (and which are not required to be paid to any Lender) are sufficient (except for any “deductible” amount specified by such insurance) to restore the Project under then existing Laws to the condition existing immediately prior to the damage; and (ii) the term “Uninsured Peril” shall mean any peril which is not an Insured Peril. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the “deductible” for earthquake or flood insurance exceeds two percent (2%) of the replacement cost of the improvements insured, such peril shall, at Landlord’s election, be deemed an “Uninsured Peril” for purposes of this Lease.
