Payment of Rent Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, all rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, reduction or offset for any reason whatsoever, to Landlord at such address as Landlord may designate from time to time. Tenant's obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent shall be appropriately prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. The failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required pursuant to this Lease when due shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent when due, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as Landlord would have had Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent when due.
Definition of Rent All costs and expenses which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay to Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed additional rent (which, together with the Base Rent is sometimes referred to as the "Rent"). The Rent shall be paid to the Building manager (or other person) and at such place, as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, without any prior demand therefor and without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America.
Abatement of Rent Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord, or which Landlord failed to perform, after the Lease Commencement Date and required by this Lease, which substantially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises, or (ii) any failure to provide services, utilities or access to the Premises as required by this Lease (either such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i) or (ii), above, to be known as an “Abatement Event”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of any such notice (the “Eligibility Period”), then the Basic Rent, Tenant’s Percentage of Direct Expenses, and Tenant’s obligation to pay for parking (to the extent not utilized by Tenant) 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, and does not use for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Basic Rent and Tenant’s Percentage of Direct Expenses for the entire Premises and Tenant’s obligation to pay for parking shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. To the extent an Abatement Event is caused by an event covered by Articles 23 or 24 of this Lease, then Tenant’s right to xxxxx rent shall be governed by the terms of such Article 23 or 24, as applicable, and the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable thereto. Such right to xxxxx Basic Rent and Tenant’s Percentage of Direct Expenses shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for rent abatement at law or in equity for an Abatement Event. Except as provided in this Section 25.5.2, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.
No Abatement of Rent This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term notwithstanding any damage involving the Leased Property, or any portion thereof (provided that Landlord shall credit against such payments any amounts paid to Landlord as a consequence of such damage under any business interruption insurance obtained by Tenant hereunder). The provisions of this Article 10 shall be considered an express agreement governing any cause of damage or destruction to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no local or State statute, laws, rules, regulation or ordinance in effect during the Term which provide for such a contingency shall have any application in such case.
Acceleration of Rent By notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to accelerate all Fixed Rent and all expense installments due hereunder and otherwise payable in installments over the remainder of the Term, and, at Landlord’s option, any other Additional Rent to the extent that such Additional Rent can be determined and calculated to a fixed sum; and the amount of accelerated rent to the termination date, without further notice or demand for payment, shall be due and payable by Tenant within five (5) days after Landlord has so notified Tenant, such amount collected from Tenant shall be discounted to present value using an interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum. Additional Rent which has not been included, in whole or in part, in accelerated rent, shall be due and payable by Tenant during the remainder of the Term, in the amounts and at the times otherwise provided for in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the application of any rule of law based on election of remedies or otherwise, if Tenant fails to pay the accelerated rent in full when due, Landlord thereafter shall have the right by notice to Tenant, (i) to terminate Tenant’s further right to possession of the Premises and (ii) to terminate this Lease under subparagraph (b) below; and if Tenant shall have paid part but not all of the accelerated rent, the portion thereof attributable to the period equivalent to the part of the Term remaining after Landlord’s termination of possession or termination of this Lease shall be applied by Landlord against Tenant’s obligations owing to Landlord, as determined by the applicable provisions of subparagraphs (c) and (d) below.
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.
Adjustment of Rent Lessee and Lessor agree that the payments and allocations of Basic Rent, Stipulated Loss Values, Stipulated Loss Amounts, Termination Values and Termination Amount percentages and the Early Purchase Price shall be adjusted to the extent provided in Section 2.6 of the Participation Agreement.
Limitation on Payment of Rent All agreements between Landlord and Tenant herein are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of Rent, or otherwise, shall the Rent or any other amounts payable to Landlord under this Agreement exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law, the benefit of which may be asserted by Tenant as a defense, and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, or if from any circumstances Landlord should ever receive as fulfillment of such provision such an excessive amount, then, ipso facto, the amount which would be excessive shall be applied to the reduction of the installment(s) of Minimum Rent next due and not to the payment of such excessive amount. This provision shall control every other provision of this Agreement and any other agreements between Landlord and Tenant.
Premises and Term In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent as provided in this Lease, and in consideration of the other terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease, Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby takes from Landlord certain premises described and delineated on the demising plan contained in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, situated within a building (the "Building") located on certain real property (the "Land") within the above-named County and State and more particularly described as follows: Approximately 16,111 square feet of space located at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Suites 105, 106, 107, 108, and 109, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx County, Texas, together with the other improvements erected upon said premises (the said premises and the improvements located therein being herein referred to as the "Premises"). To Have and to Hold the Premises, subject to the other terms and provisions of this Lease, for a term (the "Term") commencing on FEBRUARY 15, 2004 (the "Commencement Date") and ending THIRTY-SIX (36) months thereafter. If this Lease is executed before the Premises become vacant or otherwise available and ready for occupancy, or if any present tenant or occupant of the Premises holds over and Landlord cannot acquire possession of the Premises prior to the originally scheduled commencement date, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default, and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Premises at such time as Landlord is able to tender the same; and Landlord hereby waives payment of rent covering any period prior to the tendering of possession of the Premises to Tenant. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant if Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date stated above. Landlord's non-delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date will not affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. However, the Commencement Date will be delayed until possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant. The Term will be extended for a period equal to the delay in delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. If delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant is delayed, Landlord and Tenant shall, upon such delivery, execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the revised Commencement Date and expiration date of the Term. If Tenant occupies the Premises before the Commencement Date, Tenant's occupancy of the Premises will be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have acknowledged that it has inspected the Premises and accepts the Premises in their then present condition as suitable for the purpose for which the Premises are leased. Tenant further acknowledges that no representations as to the repair of the Premises, nor promises to alter, remodel, or improve the Premises, have been made by Landlord, except for those expressly set forth in this Lease.
Collection of Rent If, without Landlord’s consent, this Lease is assigned, or any part of the Premises is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant or this Lease is encumbered (by operation of law or otherwise), Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Article 13, an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s covenants hereunder, and in all cases Tenant shall remain fully liable for its obligations under this Lease.
