6
a.Effective as of the Assignment Date, Assignee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Assignor and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, invitees, contractors and subcontractors, of, from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) (collectively “Claims”) arising from or in any way connected with: (1) any damage to property or injury to persons occurring at the Premises caused by Assignee or any of its employees, agents or contractors on and after the Assignment Date, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Assignor or its employees, agents or contractors; (2) any failure by the Assignee (or any successor to Assignee, or any other party or parties who are at any time after the Assignment Date in whole or in part the “Lessee” under the Lease or an occupant of the Premises) to perform fully the obligations of the “Lessee” under the Lease to the extent required by this Agreement; (3) any failure of Assignee to fully perform its agreements and/or obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Assignor; and/or (4) any Subsequent Modification (as defined below) entered into without Assignor’s prior written consent. It is the intention of the parties that upon the Assignment Date, as between Assignor and Assignee, Assignor shall have transferred to Assignee all further obligations and liability to Lessor under the Lease arising from and after the Assignment Date (other than the obligation and liability for the Pre-Commencement Date Rent, which shall remain with Assignor), and that the within indemnity is intended to be so construed, and is to include all obligations of the Lessee under the Lease arising from and after the Assignment Date. If Lessor at any time claims that the obligations of the “Lessee” under the Lease arising from and after the Assignment Date have not been fully performed, and if Assignor pays Rent to Lessor or fulfills any other obligations of the Lessee under the Lease arising from and after the Assignment Date, Assignee shall immediately reimburse Assignor for the amount of Rent and all other amounts incurred by Assignor in fulfilling the “Lessee’s” obligations under the Lease arising from and after the Assignment Date, together with interest on those sums at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, or, if lower, the maximum amount allowed by the applicable law within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Assignor with supporting documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to Assignor’s obligation to pay the Pre-Commencement Date Rent as and when due under the Lease. As between Assignor and Assignee, nothing in this Agreement shall give Assignor the obligation to cure any defaults or other claims under the Lease. The terms of this Section 8(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Lease.
7
b.Effective as of the Assignment Date, Assignor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Assignee and each of its officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, invitees, contractors and subcontractors, of, from and against all Claims arising from or in any way connected with: (1) any damage to property or injury to persons occurring at the Premises prior to the Assignment Date, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Assignee or its employees, agents or contractors; (2) any failure by the Assignor to perform fully the obligations of the “Lessee” under the Lease to the extent required by this Agreement; and/or (3) any failure of Assignor to fully perform its agreements and/or obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Assignee. It is the intention of the parties that, as between Assignor and Assignee, notwithstanding the Assignment, Assignor shall continue to be solely and fully liable for all obligations and liability of the “Lessee” under the Lease arising under the Lease prior to the Assignment Date and for the payment of the Pre-Commencement Date Rent, and that the within indemnity is intended to be so construed, and is to include all obligations of the Lessee under the Lease arising prior to the Assignment Date and the obligation to pay the Pre-Commencement Date Rent. If Lessor at any time claims that the obligations of the “Lessee” under the Lease arising prior to the Assignment Date have not been fully performed or that the Pre-Commencement Date Rent has not been paid, and if Assignee pays Rent to Lessor or fulfills any other obligations of the Lessee under the Lease arising prior to the Assignment Date or pays the Pre-Commencement Date Rent to Lessor, Assignor shall immediately reimburse Assignee for the amount of Rent and all other amounts incurred by Assignee in fulfilling the “Lessee’s” obligations under the Lease arising prior to the Assignment Date and/or for the amount of the Pre-Commencement Date Rent, if paid by Assignee, together with interest on those sums at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, or, if lower, the maximum amount allowed by the applicable law within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Assignee with supporting documentation. As between Assignor and Assignee, nothing in this Agreement shall give Assignee the obligation to cure any defaults or other claims under the Lease that are Assignor’s obligation under this Agreement. The terms of this Section 8(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Lease.
c.Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall either Assignor or Assignee have any liability under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) above, as applicable, or under any other term, provision, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement for any consequential damages, punitive damages, speculative damages, damages for lost profits or damages for loss of business or any similar form of damages, other than to the extent caused by fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or the willful misconduct of such party.

Assignee shall have the right to have a representative accompany Assignor or its employees, agents or contractors at all times while present at the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Assignee, upon the receipt of any notice from Assignor that Assignor intends to cure any default or pay or perform any obligations set forth in a demand notice, notifies Assignor in writing within such 5-business day notice period that Assignee will undertake such cure or payment or performance within the required cure period or timeframe, then, Assignor shall have no right to cure such default, make any such payment or perform any such obligation provided that Assignee so cures, pays or performs within the required cure period or timeframe. For the purposes of this Section 9(b), email notices to the other party shall suffice.
c.If Assignee receives any notice of any default or demand for payment or performance under the Lease relating to Assignor’s Lease obligations that are not assumed by Assignee hereunder, and if Assignor has not commenced to cure the default or is not diligently pursuing the cure to completion within the time permitted under the Lease or demand notice, then Assignee shall have the right (but no obligation) upon not less than five (5) business days’ written notice to Assignor, to pay or perform such obligation on behalf of Assignor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Assignor, upon the receipt of any notice from Assignee that Assignee intends to cure any default or pay or perform any obligations set forth in a demand notice, notifies Assignee in writing within such 5-business day notice period that Assignor will undertake such cure or payment or performance within the required cure period or timeframe, then, Assignee shall have no right to cure such default, make any such payment or perform any such obligation provided that Assignor so cures, pays or performs within the required cure period or timeframe. For the purposes of this Section 9(c), email notices to the other party shall suffice.
d.Any cost or amounts expended by Assignor or Assignee in connection with any default or demand for payment or performance under the Lease or this Assignment shall be reimbursed by the other party with interest as provided in Section 8 above within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice therefor, together with reasonable supporting documentation.
10.Assignee’s Alterations. Assignor acknowledges that after the Assignment Date, Assignee may desire to perform alterations, additions and/or improvements (“Alterations”) in the Premises. All such Alterations shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of the Lease. To the extent that Xxxxxx’s consent to any Alterations or other improvement to the Premises is required, at the time that Assignee requests Xxxxxx’s consent to the Alteration, Assignee shall request in writing that Lessor notify Assignee whether all or any portion of the Alteration must be removed upon expiration or other termination of the Lease. If Lessor notifies Assignee that removal of all or any portion is required, then Assignee shall deliver written notice thereof to Assignor prior to Assignee commencing the Alteration. Assignee shall provide to Assignor all plans and specifications and as-built drawings for any Alteration to the extent Lessor also requires a copy thereof.
