MonthsRent
1 — 12$3.50 Full Service
The rent shall be increased annually by three percent (3%), commencing with the 13th month of the Lease Term and at every anniversary date thereafter.
3.2Rent Adjustment:
The base rent Monthly Installment provided for in paragraph 3.1 above shall be increased at intervals as follows: ____________________________________________________________________
__________. The Monthly Installment payable by Tenant in accordance with paragraph 3.1 shall be adjusted, upwards only, effective ____________ of each year (“Adjustment Date”) during the term of this Lease in accordance with percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (___________, Base: 1982 84-100) (“Index”), as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“Bureau”). The Index for each February during the term of this Lease shall be compared with the Index for the preceding February, and the Monthly Installment shall be increased in accordance with the percentage increase, if any, between such February Indices. Landlord shall use its best efforts to calculate and give Tenant notice of any such increase in the Monthly Installment on or near the Adjustment Date, and Tenant shall commence to pay the increased Monthly Installment effective on the Adjustment Date of each year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event this Lease has not been in effect for an entire year prior to the first Adjustment Date, that first adjustment only shall be determined by comparing the Index for February with the Index published for the month first preceding the Commencement Date. All other adjustments shall be determined by the comparison of the February Indices. In the event that Landlord is unable to deliver to Tenant the notice of the increased Monthly Installment at least five business days prior to the Adjustment Date, Tenant shall commence to pay the increased Monthly Installment on the first day of the month following the receipt of such notice, which notice must be sent at least five business days prior to the first day of such month “Payment Date), and shall also pay, together with the first payment of the increased Monthly Installment, an amount determined by multiplying the amount of the increase in the Monthly Installment times the number of months which have elapsed between the Adjustment Date and the Payment Date. Should the Bureau discontinue the publication of the Index, or publish the same less frequently, or alter the same in some other manner, Landlord, in its
2.
183335829 v1
discretion, shall adopt a substitute index or procedure which reasonably reflects and monitors consumer prices.
1.1 Security Deposit: |
Upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum of $7,234.50 (“Security Deposit”) to secure the faithful performance by Tenant of each term, covenant and condition to be performed or kept by Tenant under this Lease. If Tenant shall at any time fail to make any payment or fail to keep or perform any term, covenant and condition on its part to be made or performed or kept under this Lease, including, without limitation, payment of Rent, maintenance of the Premises in good repair, and surrendering the Premises in a clean condition, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, and without waiving its right to treat such failure as a default hereof, use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit reasonably necessary to remedy such failure of Tenant. In such event, Tenant shall within five days of written demand by Landlord, remit to Landlord sufficient funds to restore said Security Deposit to its original sum. Landlord is not a trustee of the Security Deposit and may commingle it, use it in ordinary business, transfer or assign it, or use it in any combination of those ways. No interests shall accrue on the Security Deposit. Should Tenant comply with all of said terms, covenants and conditions and timely pay all amounts due hereunder as the same become due, and at the end of the term of this Lease leave the Premises in the condition required by the terms of this Lease, then said Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant following the termination of this Lease and vacancy of the Premises by Tenant. At all times the Security Deposit shall be equal to the Monthly Installment due. When the Monthly Installment is increased, the Tenant shall immediately increase the Security Deposit to equal the Monthly Installment.
Late Charge:
Tenant acknowledges that late payment of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such cost being extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance, and notes secured by any encumbrance covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent or other amount due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five days after the same is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand an additional sum of 10% of said installment of Rent or other amount as a late charge. This late charge shall be charged for each calendar month (without proration) in which all or any portion of Rent or other amount due hereunder is delinquent for more than five days from its original due date. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charges shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or by law. Such late charge shall be considered additional Rent.
Governmental Assessments:
In addition to the Monthly Installment, Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, (i) all personal property taxes, charges, rates, duties and license fees assessed against or levied upon Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, or upon any tenant improvements, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment or other personal property contained in the Premises (collectively “Personal Property”), and (ii) any governmental fees or charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen as well as foreseen, of any kind whatsoever levied upon Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises or any Personal Property, other than Taxes (as defined in paragraph 3.10.14), which shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3.9 (collectively “Assessments”). Tenant shall cause such Assessments upon Personal Property to be billed separately from the property of
3.
183335829 v1
Landlord. Tenant indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from and against the payment of all such Assessments.
Special Charges for Special Services:
Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, within 10 days following written demand, all charges for any services, utilities, goods or materials furnished by Landlord at Tenant’s request which are not required to be furnished by Landlord under this Lease without separate charge or reimbursement.
Definition of Rent:
Any and all payments of the Monthly Installment and any and all Taxes, fees, charges, costs, expenses, insurance obligations, late charges, Assessments, Operating Expense Adjustments (as defined in paragraph 3.8), and all other payments, disbursements or reimbursements (collectively “Rent”) which are attributable to, payable by or the responsibility of Tenant under the Lease, constitute “rent” within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1951(a). All payments owed by Tenant under the Lease shall be paid to Landlord in lawful money of the United States of America at the location specified by Landlord for payment from time to time pursuant to this Lease.
Operating Expense Adjustments:
Tenant shall pay, in addition to the Monthly Installments computed and due pursuant to paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2, an additional sum as an operating expense adjustment (“Operating Expense Adjustment”) an amount equal to Tenant’s Pro Rata Share (as defined in paragraph 3.10) of any excess of Operating Expenses (as defined in paragraph 3.10) over the Base Amount (as defined in paragraph 3.10).
Procedure for Payment of Operating Expense Adjustments:
Tenant shall pay for Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any excess of Operating Expenses over the Base Amount, as follows:
Landlord may, from time to time by 10 days notice to Tenant, reasonably estimate in advance the amounts Tenant shall owe on a monthly basis for excesses of Operating Expenses over the Base Amount for any full or partial calendar year of the term of this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall pay such estimated amounts, on a monthly basis, on or before the first day of each calendar month, together with Tenant’s payment of Monthly Installment. Such estimate may be reasonably adjusted from time to time by Landlord by written notice to Tenant.
Within 120 days after the end of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall provide a statement (the “Statement”) to Tenant showing: (i) the amount of actual Operating Expenses for such calendar year, (ii) any amount paid by Tenant towards excesses of Operating Expenses over the Base Amount during such calendar year on an estimated basis and (iii) any revised estimate of Tenant’s obligations for excesses of Operating Expenses over the Base Amount for the current calendar year.
If the Statement shows that Tenant’s estimated payments were less than Tenant’s actual obligations for excesses of Operating Expenses over the Base Amount for such year, Tenant shall pay the difference. If the Statement shows an increase in Tenant’s estimated payments for the current calendar year, Tenant shall pay the difference between the new and former estimates, for the period from January 1 of the current calendar year through the month in which the Statement is sent. Tenant shall make such payments within 30 days after Landlord sends the Statement.
4.
183335829 v1
If the Statement shows that Tenant’s estimated payments exceeded Tenant’s actual obligations for excesses of Operating Expenses over the Base Amount, Tenant shall receive a refund of such difference against payments of Rent next due. If the term of this Lease shall have expired and no further Rent shall be due, Tenant shall receive a refund of such difference within 30 days after Landlord sends the Statement.
So long as Tenant’s obligations hereunder are not materially adversely affected, Landlord reserves the right to reasonably change, from time to time, the manner or timing of the foregoing payments. No delay by Landlord in providing the Statement (or separate statements) shall be deemed a default by Landlord or a waiver of Landlord’s right to require payment of Tenant’s obligations for actual or estimated excesses of Operating Expenses over the Base Amount.
If the term of this Lease commences other than on January 1, or ends other than on December 31, Tenant’s obligations to pay estimated and actual amounts towards excesses of Operating Expenses over the Base Amount for such first or final calendar years shall be prorated to reflect the portion of such years included in the term of this Lease. Such proration shall be made by multiplying the total estimated or actual (as the case may be) excesses of Operating Expenses over the Base Amount for such calendar years by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the term of this Lease during such calendar year, and the denominator of which shall be 365.
Defined Terms:
“Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” means the ratio, from time to time, of the rentable square feet of the Premises to the rentable square feet in the Buildings. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share as of the Commencement Date is stipulated to be 3.1% which has been computed using the stipulated square footage set forth in Paragraph 1.1. The “Base Amount” will be the Operating Expenses per year per rentable square foot in the Buildings for the year ending December 31, 2018. “Operating Expenses” are defined to be the sum of all costs, expenses, and disbursements, of every kind and nature whatsoever, and the Taxes, incurred by Landlord in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, operation, administration and repair of all or any portion of the Buildings, the Land, the Common Areas (as defined in paragraph 9.2) and the roads, walks, plazas, landscaped areas, parking facilities, improvements and facilities thereon (collectively, “Property”) including, but not limited to, the following:

The annual amortization of costs, including financing costs, if any incurred by Landlord after completion of the Property for any capital improvements installed or paid for by Landlord and required by any new (or change in) laws, rules or regulations of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority (collectively “Laws”);
The annual amortization of costs, including financing costs, if any, of any equipment, device or capital improvement incurred after completion of the Property and reasonably intended as a labor-saving measure or to affect other economies in the operation or maintenance of the Property (provided the annual amortized cost does not exceed the actual cost savings realized and such savings do not redound primarily to the benefit of any particular tenant);
The annual amortization of costs incurred after completion of the Property, if any, for the replacement of (i) exterior perimeter window draperies or blinds provided by Landlord and (ii) carpeting and wall coverings in the public areas of the Buildings;
All insurance expenses which shall mean all premiums and other charges by Landlord with respect to the insurance of the Property including, without limitation, the following to the extent carried by the Landlord: (i) fire and extended coverage insurance, windstorm, hail and explosion; (ii) riot attending a strike, civil commotion, aircraft, vehicle and smoke insurance; (iii) public liability, bodily injury and property damage insurance; (iv) elevator insurance; (v) Workers’ Compensation insurance for the employees specified in paragraph 3.10.2 above; (vi) boiler and machinery insurance, sprinkler leakage, water damage, property, burglary, fidelity and pilferage insurance on equipment and materials; (vii) loss of rent, rent abatement, rent continuation, business interruption insurance, and similar types of insurance; (viii) earthquake insurance; and (ix) such other insurance as is customarily carried by operators of other comparable projects in Northern California;

All actual taxes, assessments, levies, charges, water and sewer charges, rapid transit and other similar or comparable governmental charges (collectively “Taxes”) levied or assessed on, imposed upon or attributable to the calendar year in question (a) to the Property, and/or (b) to the operation of the Property, including but not limited to Taxes against the Property, personal property taxes or assessments levied or assessed against the Property, plus any tax measured by gross rentals received from the Property, together with any costs incurred by Landlord, including attorneys’ fees, in contesting any such Taxes but excluding any net income, franchise, capital stock, estate or inheritance taxes imposed by the State or Federal Government or by their respective agencies, branches or departments; provided that, if at any time during the term of this Lease there shall be levied, assessed or
6.

imposed on Landlord or the Property by any governmental entity, any general or special, ad valorem or specific excised capital levy or other Taxes on the payments received by Landlord under this Lease or other leases affecting the Property and/or any license fee, excise of Franchise Taxes measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such payments, and/or transfer, transaction, or Taxes based directly or indirectly upon the transaction represented by this Lease or other leases affecting the Property, and/or any occupancy, use, per capita or other Taxes, based directly or indirectly upon the use or occupancy of the Premises or the Property, then all such Taxes shall be deemed to be included within the definition of the term Taxes.
If the Buildings do not have at least 95% of the rentable area of the Buildings occupied during any calendar year period, then the Operating Expenses for such period shall be deemed to be equal to the total of (i) the Operating Expenses, other than Taxes which would have been incurred by Landlord if 95% of the rentable area of the Buildings had been occupied for the entirety of such calendar year and (ii) the actual Taxes. The annual amortization of costs shall be determined by dividing the original cost of such capital expenditure by the number of years useful life of the capital item acquired, which useful life shall be reasonably determined by Landlord, or by the number of years permitted by the Internal Revenue Service for amortization, whichever is shorter. Operating expenses shall be computed according to the cash or accrual basis of accounting, as Landlord may elect in accordance with standard and reasonable accounting principles employed by Landlord.
Review of Operating Expenses:
Tenant shall have a period of three months following receipt of the Statement, within which to inspect, at Landlord’s office during normal business hours, Landlord’s books and records concerning Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year period in question. Such inspection may only be done by a generally recognized Accounting Firm. If Tenant shall not have availed itself of such inspection, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted final and determinative the amounts shown on the Statement. If Tenant shall have availed itself of its right to inspect the books and records, and then disputes the accuracy of the information set forth in Landlord’s books and records with respect to the Statement, Tenant shall nevertheless continue to pay the amounts as required by the provisions of paragraphs 3.8 and 3.9; provided however, that no later than six months after receipt of the Statement, Tenant must (or its right to contest such charges shall be deemed waived) institute arbitration proceedings against Landlord in an arbitration proceeding governed by the rules of the American Arbitration Association to collect and recover any overpayments made by Tenant resulting from errors in the books and records of Landlord; and provided further, that Tenant shall, within 10 days of filing of the complaint, serve Landlord with a copy of the complaint filed in any such proceeding. Tenant shall be precluded from contesting Operating Expenses and Landlord’s computations of the amounts payable by Landlord or Tenant pursuant to these paragraphs 3.8 and 3.9, unless an arbitration complaint is filed and served within such six month period. Should the arbitrator find errors in excess of 10% of the Statement, then Landlord shall be responsible for all reasonable fees incurred by Tenant with respect to the arbitration proceeding. Should the arbitrator find errors of between 4% and 10% of the Statement, then each party shall be responsible for all fees incurred by it with respect to the arbitration proceeding.
If Tenant institutes such arbitration procedures, then the arbitrator shall have the power to, and shall inquire into and determine, not only whether or not Tenant was overcharged for any excesses of Operating Expenses over the Base Amount, but whether or not Tenant was undercharged for such excesses of Operating Expenses. At the conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator shall issue a
7.
183335829 v1
ruling as to what the excesses of Operating Expenses should have been had Landlord strictly complied with the provisions of this Lease. If Landlord overcharged Tenant for excesses of Operating Expenses, the amount of the overcharge shall be returned to Tenant within 30 days following the conclusion of the arbitration. If the arbitrator determines that Tenant was undercharged for excesses of Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay the amount of such undercharge to Landlord within 30 days following the issuance of the arbitration ruling.

Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises or the Property by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold as long as Tenant demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that such Hazardous Material is necessary or useful to Tenant’s business and will be used, kept and stored in a manner that complies with all laws regulating to any such Hazardous Material so brought upon or used or kept in or about the Premises. If Tenant breaches the obligations stated in the preceding sentence, or if the presence of Hazardous Material on the Premises or the Property caused or permitted by Tenant results in contamination of the Premises of the Property, or if contamination of the Premises or the Property by Hazardous Material otherwise occurs for which Tenant is legally liable to Landlord for damage resulting therefrom, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold

This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or ground water on or under the Property. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material on the Premises or the Property caused or permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of the Premises or the Property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the Premises and the Property to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Material to the Premises or the Property.
Landlord Costs:
Landlord and Tenant agree that the cost of complying with laws relating to Hazardous Material on the Premises and the Property for which Landlord is legally liable and which are paid or incurred by Landlord shall be an Operating Expense, and Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof unless the cost of such compliance, as between Landlord and Tenant, is the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to this paragraph. To the extent any such Operating Expense relating to Hazardous Material is subsequently recovered or reimbursed through insurance, or recovery from responsible third parties, or other action, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reimbursement to the extent it has paid its share of such Operating Expenses to which such recovery or reimbursement relates.

BUILDING SERVICES |
Standard Building Services:
Subject to the full performance by Tenant of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall furnish the Premises with the standard building services and utilities as set forth in the attached Exhibit D.
Additional Services:
Tenant agrees to immediately pay on demand all reasonable charges imposed by the Landlord from time to time for all building services and utilities supplied to or used by Tenant in excess of or in addition to those standard building services and utilities which Landlord agrees to provide to Tenant in accordance with Exhibit D. Said excess and additional building services and utilities are referred to as “Additional Services” and Landlord may at any time cause a switch and/or metering system to be installed at Tenant’s expenses (which expense Tenant shall pay within 10 business days of receipt of an invoice from Landlord covering the installment cost of such switch or metering system) to measure the amount of building services, utilities and/or Additional Services consumed by Tenant or used in the Premises. In addition, in the event Tenant desires to contest any charges for Additional Services levied by Landlord under this paragraph 8.2, Tenant may, as its sole remedy, have Landlord install in the Premises a switch and/or metering system.

No Assignment or Subletting:

BREACH BY TENANT |
Remedies Upon Breach:
Upon the breach of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant shall be in default and Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or equity, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively, or in the alternative.
Reentry Without Termination:
Landlord may at Landlord’s election, reenter the Premises and, without terminating this Lease, at any time, and from time to time, relet for a term equal to or longer or shorter than the term of this Lease, the Premises or any part or parts of them, for the account and in the name of Tenant. Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, eject Tenant or any of Tenant’s subtenants, assignees, or other person or persons claiming any right under or through this Lease or otherwise. Tenant shall nevertheless pay to Landlord on the due dates specified in this Lease all sums required by Tenant under this Lease, plus Landlord’s expenses, less the proceeds of any sublease or reletting. The expenses allowed Landlord shall include, without limitation: costs paid to retake possession (including attorneys’ fees), costs to place the Premises in good condition and to alter them for reletting, costs to secure new tenants (including broker’s commissions), and costs to fulfill all of Tenant’s covenants and conditions to the end of the term. No act or omission by or on behalf of Landlord under this provision shall constitute a termination of this Lease unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of termination which landlord may do at any time after a default or breach by Tenant.
Recovery of Rent:
Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord’s election, to keep this Lease in effect and to enforce all of its rights and remedies under the Lease, including the right to recover Rent and other sums as they become due plus interest at the rate of 10% per year or the highest percent then permitted by law, whichever is greater, from the due date of each installment of Rent or other sum until paid.
Termination:
Landlord may, at any time after any breach by Tenant, at Landlord’s election, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of termination. On the giving of the notice, all of Tenant’s rights in the Premises shall terminate. Immediately upon such notice of termination being given, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises in a broom-clean condition, and Landlord may reenter and take possession of the Premises and all remaining improvements and eject Tenant or any of Tenant’s subtenants, assignees, or other person or persons claiming any right under or through Tenant or eject some and not others or eject none. This Lease may also be terminated by a judgment specifically providing for termination. Any termination under this paragraph shall not relieve Tenant from the payment of any sum then due to Landlord or from any claim for damages or Rent previously accrued or then or thereafter accruing against Tenant. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by Landlord constitute a termination of the Lease:
Maintenance or preservation of the Premises;
Efforts to relet the Premises;
Appointment of a receiver in order to protect Landlord’s interest hereunder;
18.
183335829 v1
Consent to any subletting of the Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to provisions hereof concerning subletting and assignment, or otherwise;
Any other action by Landlord or Landlord’s agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant.
Damages. In the event of termination pursuant to paragraph 20.4 above, Landlord shall be entitled to damages in the following sums:
The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which has been earned at the time of termination; plus
The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term after the time of awards exceeds the amount of such rental that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and
Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom including without limitation, the following: (i) expenses for cleaning, repairing, or restoring the Premises; (ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of reletting, including installation of leasehold improvements (whether such installation be funded by a reduction of Rent, direct payment or allowance to Tenant or otherwise); (iii) broker’s fees, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Premises; (iv) costs of carrying the Premises such as taxes and insurance premiums thereon, mortgage payments, utilities and security precautions; (v) expenses in retaking possession of the Premises; (vi) attorneys’ fees and court costs; and (vii) any brokers’ commissions paid or due for the portion of the term for which Rent and all other monies due from Tenant are not paid.
The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph, is computed by allowing interest at the rate of 10% per annum or the higher rate then permitted by law, whichever is greater. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in subparagraph (c) of this paragraph is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1%.
Receivership:
In addition to the above enumerated remedies and at Landlord’s option and in order to enable Landlord to effectuate and use any of the above-provided remedies, Landlord may upon any default, breach, failure or neglect of Tenant, and without notice to Tenant, petition for, and be entitled as a matter of right to, the appointment of a receiver and a court may appoint such receiver and vest in such receiver such powers and authorities as may be necessary or proper to fully protect all the rights herein granted or reserved to Landlord and to fully enable Landlord to exercise any of
19.
183335829 v1
the remedies provided for Landlord herein and by law. Any such receiver may take possession of any personal property belonging to Tenant and used in the conduct of business then being carried on by Tenant at the Premises and may use the same in conducting such business upon the Premises without compensation to Tenant.
Cumulative:
All remedies hereinbefore and hereafter conferred upon Landlord shall be deemed cumulative and no one exclusive of the other, or of any other remedy conferred by law or equity.
Default:
Tenant’s breach and default of this Lease shall include, without limitation, any of the following events:
Tenant shall fail to timely pay in full when due any installment of Rent or other payment; or
Tenant shall have attempted to assign or sublet or encumber any part of its interest in this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord; or
Tenant shall have committed or suffered the commission of waste, nuisance or other acts, omissions or things which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant or occupant in the Building; or
Tenant shall have assigned its assets for the benefit of its creditors; or
The sequestration, attachment, or execution on any substantial part of the property of Tenant or on any property essential to the conduct of Tenant’s business shall have failed to obtain a return or release of such property within 30 days thereafter, or prior to sale pursuant to such sequestration, attachment or levy, whichever is earlier; or
Tenant shall have vacated or abandoned the Premises or substantially eased or suspended its business at the Premises; or
Tenant shall have failed to perform timely any other term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease and such failure shall have continued for 30 days after service of written notice to Tenant; or
A court having jurisdiction shall have made or entered any decree or order; (i) adjudging Tenant to be bankrupt or insolvent; (ii) approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of Tenant or an arrangement under the bankruptcy laws or any other applicable debtor’s relief law or statute of the United States or any State thereof; (iii) appointing a receiver, trustee or assignee of Tenant in bankruptcy or insolvency or for its property; or (iv) directing the winding up or liquidation of Tenant; and such decree or order shall have continued for a period of 30 days; or (v) Tenant shall have voluntarily submitted to or filed a petition seeking any such decree or order.

Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall determine the amount, if any, of Rent reduction provided for in paragraph 22.2 and notify Tenant of same within 30 days of the date of such damage or destruction. Landlord’s determination shall be conclusively binding on Tenant provided that if Tenant wishes to dispute the determination of Landlord, Tenant shall nonetheless timely pay the Rent determined by Landlord and Tenant shall, within 10 days of Landlord’s notice of determination, notify Landlord of Tenant’s request to arbitrate said determination. As a condition of such right to arbitrate, Tenant must timely pay the Rent determined by Landlord, until the effective date of any arbitration award to the contrary. If the arbitration results in a further reduction of Rent, Tenant shall be permitted to deduct the amount of any excess paid in equal amounts against the Monthly Installments next falling due after notice of the decision of the arbitration is given. If the arbitration results in an increase in Rent, Tenant shall begin to pay the increased rate immediately and shall pay upon demand the difference between Rent paid at the rate determined by Landlord and Rent which would have been paid at such increased rate.
