Additional, duplicate or replacement cards and/or keys shall be the sole expense of Tenant and must be ordered from Landlord. Unless charged to individual tenants (including Tenant) as hereinafter provided, the costs of such Landlord services described in this Section 10 shall be included as Operating Expenses and shall be paid as Additional Rent pursuant to Section 7. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by or resulting from any variation, interruption or failure of such services due to any cause whatsoever, and no temporary interruption or failure of such services incident to the making of repairs, alterations or improvements or due to accident or strike conditions shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.
If Tenant requires electrical, mechanical, cooling, heating, ventilation, or other requirements beyond the usage by a typical tenant, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, then the cost of furnishing, installing, operating and maintaining the equipment and appurtenances (including separate meters if requested by Landlord to satisfy these requirements) shall be borne by Tenant, with Tenant cither paying directly to the utility if separately metered or paying to Landlord, as Rent, the reasonable cost of providing such additional services, as determined by Landlord.
The Building standard mechanical system is designed to accommodate heating loads generated by lights and equipment using up to 3.5 xxxxx per square foot which costs are incorporated into the Basic Rent. Before installing lights or equipment in the Premises, which in the aggregate exceed such amount, Tenant shall obtain the written permission of Landlord. Landlord may refuse to grant such permission unless Tenant shall agree to pay Landlord’s costs to install supplementary air conditioning capacity or electrical systems as necessitated by such equipment or lights or if the equipment or lights requested by Tenant will, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, overburden the Building’s structure or mechanical system(s) even if supplemented at Tenant’s expense.
11. Assignment and Subletting.
11.1 Transfers Requiring Consent. Tenant shall not cause or permit, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, any of the following events (individually and collectively, a “Transfer”) (or any amendment to the instrument affecting the same) without in each case first obtaining Landlord’s written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed: (1) a sale, assignment, hypothecation, mortgage, encumbrance, conveyance or other transfer of this Lease (or any interest therein); (2) a sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (3) the use or occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by anyone other than Tenant. If Tenant is a corporation, any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation or liquidation, or change in the ownership of, or power to vote, its outstanding voting stock (including redemption thereof), separately or in the aggregate, majority voting control, shall constitute a Transfer. If Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company, or any change in the ownership of a majority of the partnership or membership interests shall constitute a Transfer. As a condition to Landlord’s approval, any potential assignee otherwise approved by Landlord shall assume and shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and any sublessee shall assume and shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for all obligations of Tenant under this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises that is subleased to such sublessee. This Lease shall not be assigned by operation of law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.1 to the contrary, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof without Landlord’s consent to any entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all the assets of Tenant’s business as a going concern and the requirements of Section 11.2 shall not apply.
10 |
11.2 Procedures. Tenant shall request Landlord’s consent to any Transfer by written notice to Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer. Tenant’s notice shall include the following information: (a) the identity of the transferee, (b) the use of the Premises contemplated by the proposed transferee, (c) the proposed effective date of the Transfer; and shall be accompanied by (x) financial information regarding the proposed transferee and (y) a copy of the proposed transfer agreement containing the terms of the agreement between the parties. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with any additional information concerning the proposed transferee (including financial information and detailed information regarding the proposed use of the Premises) reasonably requested by Landlord. In addition to exercising its right to disapprove of the Transfer, Landlord may elect at any time during such sixty (60) day period, (i) in the case of a Transfer for the balance of the Term, to terminate this Lease as it relates to such space proposed to be subleased by Tenant, or (ii) in the case of a Transfer for less than the balance of the Term, to temporarily delete such space from this Lease for the period of the proposed Transfer term only, in which either event Basic Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be adjusted as appropriate. In the event Landlord chooses not to exercise its rights under the preceding sentence and approves the Transfer under Section 11.1, then Tenant may proceed to enter into such Transfer. If Tenant transfers this Lease for more than the Rent then payable under this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the excess amount of rent or other consideration over the Rent reserved herein, as and when received by Tenant, as Rent hereunder. Landlord may charge Tenant a reasonable sum, to reimburse Landlord for legal and administrative costs incurred in connection with reviewing any proposed Transfer and Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the assignment or sublease agreement. No Transfer shall relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for consent to any subsequent Transfer.
11.3 Bankruptcy. If this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Revised Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C., Section 101, et seq., any and all consideration paid or payable in connection with such assignment shall be Landlord’s exclusive property and paid or delivered to Landlord, and shall not constitute the property of Tenant or Tenant’s estate in bankruptcy. Any person or entity to whom the Lease is assigned pursuant to the Revised Bankruptcy Act shall be deemed automatically to have assumed all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
11 |
12. Care of Premises. Tenant shall keep the Premises in a neat, clean and sanitary condition and shall at all times preserve them in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear or damage due to casualty or condemnation that are not the obligation of Tenant to repair under Section 16 excepted. If Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may at its option place the Premises into said condition and state of repair, and in such case Tenant on demand shall pay or reimburse Landlord for the costs thereof. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of replacing all broken glass in the Premises (or the Common Areas if damage is the result of the negligence or intentional acts of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees) with glass of same or similar quality.
Tenant shall comply with all laws, rules and regulations, including without limitation any laws, rules, or regulations related to handicapped accessibility requirements, applicable to the Premises as a direct or indirect result of (a) Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises; and (b) any modifications, alterations or improvements constructed on the Premises or the Building by Tenant or at Tenant’s request, whether or not such modifications, alterations or improvements are approved by Landlord. Tenant shall observe such reasonable rules and regulations concerning Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or related to the Common Areas as may be adopted by Landlord from time to time and made available to Tenant.
13. Surrender of Premises; Removal of Property. Subject to the terms of Section 16 relating to damage and destruction, upon expiration or termination of the Term, whether by lapse of time or otherwise (including any holdover period), Tenant at its expense shall: (1) remove Tenant’s goods and effects and those of all persons claiming under Tenant, (2) repair and restore the Premises to a condition as good as received by Tenant from Landlord or as thereafter improved, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and (3) promptly and peacefully surrender the Premises (including surrender of all Tenant Improvements and/or other alterations, additions or improvements installed in the Premises by Landlord or Tenant, except Tenant’s trade fixtures that do not become part of the Building and the Required Removals as hereinafter defined) (the requirements of this sentence referred to as the “Restoration Obligation”). On or before the ninetieth (90th) day preceding the Expiration Date, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the precise date upon which Tenant plans to surrender the premises to Landlord. On expiration of the Term, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s moveable equipment, furniture, trade fixtures and other personal property, all telecommunications and computer networking wiring and cabling serving the Premises from the Building, unless Landlord requires such materials to be surrendered to Landlord, and any alteration or Tenant Improvement identified by Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date (or within 30 days following the early termination of this Lease) (collectively the Required Removals”). Any property of Tenant not removed from the Premises shall be deemed, at Landlord’s option, to be abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may store such property in Tenant’s name at Tenant’s expense, and/or dispose of the same in any manner permitted by law at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall repair at its sole cost and expense, all damage caused to the Premises or the Building by removal of the Required Removals, Improvements and Alterations as Tenant shall be allowed or required to remove from the Premises by Landlord. If the Premises are not surrendered as of the end of the Term in the manner and condition herein specified, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord, its employees, agents and contractors harmless from and against any and all damages resulting from or caused by Tenant’s delay or failure in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant due to such delay or failure. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be attempting to lease the Premises with any such lease to be effective upon expiration of the Term, and failure to surrender the Premises could cause Landlord to incur liability to such successor tenant for which Tenant shall be responsible. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be reasonably caused by Landlord’s reentering and taking possession of the Premises or removing and storing Tenant’s property as herein provided, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord therefrom. No such reentry shall be considered or construed to be a forcible entry.
12 |
14. Alterations. Subject to installation of Tenant Improvements pursuant to Section 5, Tenant shall make no additions, changes, alterations or improvements (“Work”) to the Premises or any electrical, mechanical or fire protection facilities pertaining to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. All Work shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and all materials used shall be of a quality comparable to those in the Premises and the Building and shall be in accordance with plans and specifications approved in writing by Landlord. Landlord may require that all Work be performed under Landlord’s supervision, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any actual costs reasonably incurred as a result of such supervision which shall not be charged for the installation of the Tenant Improvements noted in Section 5. Tenant shall maintain a safe working environment, including the continuation of all fire and security protection devices, if any, previously installed in the Premises by Landlord. All damages or injury done to the Premises or the Building by Tenant or by any persons who may be in or upon the Premises or the Building with the express or implied consent of Tenant, including but not limited to the cracking or breaking of any glass of windows and doors, shall be paid for by Tenant and Tenant shall pay for all damage to the Building caused by acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s officers, contractors, subcontractors, agents, invitees, licensees, employees, successors or assigns. If Landlord consents to or supervises any Work by Tenant, the same shall not be deemed a warranty as to the adequacy of the design, workmanship or quality of materials, and Landlord hereby expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for the same, except with respect to Landlord’s intentional misconduct. Landlord shall under no circumstances have any obligation to repair, maintain or replace any portion of any Work. All alterations, additions and improvements except Tenant’s trade fixtures that do not become a part of the Building shall remain in and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord may identify Required Removals on Tenant’s plans. Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws, codes and regulations in connection with all Work.
15. Entry and Inspection. Landlord at all reasonable times and upon one day’s prior notice (except in the and at any time in case of emergency) may enter the Premises for the purpose of inspection, cleaning, repairing, altering or improving the Premises or the Building subject to Tenant’s reasonable security requirements. Nothing in this Section 15 shall impose upon Landlord any obligation not expressly imposed elsewhere in this Lease. Landlord shall have the right at reasonable times to enter the Premises for the purpose of showing the Premises to any fee owners, ground lessors, holders of encumbrances on the interest of Landlord and any prospective purchasers, mortgagees, ground lessors or tenants of the Building or a portion thereof. If during the last month of the Term Tenant shall have removed substantially all of Tenant’s property and personnel from the Premises, Landlord may enter the Premises and repair, alter and redecorate the same without abatement of Rent and without liability to Tenant, and such acts shall have no effect on this Lease.

In the event of such election this Lease shall be deemed to terminate on the third (3rd) day after the giving of such notice, and Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises within thirty (30) days thereafter, and the Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of Tenant’s surrender and any Rent paid for any period beyond such date shall be repaid to Tenant. If the cost of restoration as estimated by Landlord shall amount to less than thirty percent (30%) of said replacement value of the Building and insurance proceeds sufficient for restoration are available, or if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease under the second sentence of this Section 16.1. then Landlord shall restore the Building and the Premises (to the extent of the Tenant Improvements originally provided by Landlord hereunder) with reasonable promptness, subject to delays beyond Landlord’s control and delays in the making of insurance adjustments by Landlord, and Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease. To the extent that the Premises are rendered untenantable, Rent shall proportionally xxxxx during the period of such untenantability, unless such damage resulted from or was contributed to directly or indirectly by the act, fault or neglect of Tenant, Tenant’s officers, contractors, subcontractors, agents, employees, invitees or licensees, in which case Rent shall xxxxx only to the extent Landlord receives proceeds from any rental income insurance policy to compensate Landlord for a loss of Rent hereunder.
16.2 Business Interruption.

Tenant shall repair or restore such Tenant Improvements, Work and other Tenant property promptly following Landlord’s restoration of the Premises.

18.5 Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, Landlord and Tenant release each other, their agents and employees from liability and waive all right of recovery against each other for any loss from perils insured against under their respective policies for damage caused by fire or other perils (including those covered by all risk extended coverage) that are covered by insurance, regardless of any fault or negligence. Each party shall use reasonable efforts to cause its insurance carriers to consent to the foregoing waiver of rights of subrogation against the other party.

20.2 Liens. Tenant shall not permit any lien to be filed against the Premises, the Building or the Property by reason of obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability from any such lien. If any lien is filed against the Premises, the Building or the Property by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, promptly cause such lien to be released, or, furnish to Landlord a bond in form and amount and issued by a surety reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying Landlord, the Building and the Property against all liability, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which Landlord may incur as a result thereof. Provided that such bond has been furnished to Landlord, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense and after written notice to Landlord, may contest, by appropriate proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, any lien, encumbrance or charge against the Premises arising from work done or materials provided to and for Tenant, if, and only if, such proceedings suspend the collection thereof from Landlord, Tenant and the Premises, and neither the Premises, the Building, the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein is or will be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost.
21. | Condemnation. |
21.1 Entire Taking. If all of the Premises or the Building or such portions of the Building as may be required for the reasonable use of the Premises in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, are taken by eminent domain or conveyance in lieu thereof, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date title vests in the condemning authority and all Rent shall be paid to that date.
17 |
21.2 Partial Taking. In the event of a taking of a part of the Building other than the Premises or of a portion of the Property, and if Landlord determines that the Building should be restored in such a way as to alter the Premises materially, or if the Master Lease so requires, Landlord may terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted by notifying Tenant of such termination within sixty (60) days following the date of vesting of title; and this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall expire on the date specified in the notice of termination, not less than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice, as fully and completely as if such date were the date hereinbefore set forth for the expiration of the Term, and the Rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 21.2, in case of taking of a part of the Premises, or a portion of the Building or the Property not required for the reasonable use of the Premises, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the Rent shall be equitably reduced based on the proportion by which the net rentable area of the Premises is reduced (or if none of the Premises is taken, based on the proportion by which the use of the Premises is materially reduced), such Rent reduction to be effective as of the date title to such portion vests in the condemning authority.
21.3 Awards and Damages. Landlord reserves all rights to damages to the Premises for any partial or entire taking by eminent domain, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to such damages or award (except for Property of Tenant as defined in Section 8), and Tenant shall make no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for damages for termination of the leasehold interest. Tenant shall have the right however, to claim and recover from the condemning authority compensation for any loss to which Tenant may be put for Tenant’s moving expenses, business interruption or taking of Property of Tenant (not including Tenant’s leasehold interest) and other damages, but only to the extent that such loss is awarded separately in the eminent domain proceeding and not out of or as part of the damages recoverable by Landlord.

In the case of any default reentry and/or disposition by summary proceedings or otherwise, all Rent shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of such reentry or dispossession together with such expenses as Landlord may incur for attorneys’ fees, advertising expenses, brokerage fees and/or putting the Premises in good order or preparing the same for rerental, together with interest thereon as provided in Section 22.5 hereof, accruing from the date of any such expenditure by Landlord. No such reentry or taking possession of the Premises shall be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant.
22.2.2 Reletting of Premises. At the option of Landlord, any rents received by Landlord from any reletting as described in Section 22.2.1 shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than Rent; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting and including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, advertising fees and brokerage fees, and to the payment of any repairs, renovations, remodeling, redecoration, alterations and changes in the Premises; third, to the payment of Rent due and to become due hereunder, and, if after so applying said rents there is any deficiency in the Rent to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord monthly on the dates specified herein and any payment made or suits brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any months shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month. The failure or refusal of Landlord to relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant’s liability hereunder, nor shall Landlord be liable for failure to relet, or in the event of reletting, for failure to collect the rent thereof, but Landlord shall attempt to mitigate its damages to the extent required by law (including the use of good faith efforts to relet the Premises), and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of net rents collected over sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.
19 |

Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease by reason of any default, in addition to any other remedies it may have, Landlord may recover from Tenant the present value of the entire amount of Rent reserved by this Lease for the balance of the Term, as it may have been extended, over the then fair market rental value of the Premises for the same period, plus all reasonable expenses, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in the collection of the same.

22.6 Waiver of Redemption Rights. Tenant, for itself and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under it, including creditors of all kinds, does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege, which they or any of them may have under or by reason of any present or future law, to redeem the Premises or have a continuance of this Lease for the term hereof, as it may have been extended, after having been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as herein provided.

If the holder or prospective holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage wishes to have this Lease as a prior lien to the Landlord’s Mortgage, it shall be so deemed upon the holder thereof so notifying Tenant. Tenant shall properly execute and deliver within ten (10) business days after written notice any documents Landlord or the holder of any Landlord’s Mortgage may require to carry out the provisions of this section. If, in connection with obtaining financing for the Property or the Building, any holder of a Landlord’s Mortgage shall request modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant shall not withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not materially increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created.
24. Holdover. If Tenant shall, with the written consent of Landlord, hold over beyond the expiration of the Term, which hold over shall include Tenant’s failure to complete its Restoration Obligation, or if Landlord shall so notify Tenant at any time upon or after the expiration of the Term, such tenancy shall be deemed a month-to-month tenancy that may be terminated as provided by applicable state law.

Notices mailed as aforesaid shall be deemed given at the earlier of three (3) days after the date of such mailing or upon the date of receipt.
26. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. If Landlord employs attorneys in connection with the enforcement of this Lease, then Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all reasonable attorneys’ fees (including court costs and disbursements) so incurred, regardless of whether suit is commenced. If Tenant or Landlord shall bring any action arising out of this Lease, the losing party shall reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees (including court costs and disbursements) incurred in such suit, at trial and on appeal, and such attorneys’ fees shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action.

It is intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section 27 may be relied upon by Landlord and any prospective purchaser of or prospective holder of any mortgage upon Landlord’s interest in the Building and/or the Property. If Tenant shall fail to provide such estoppel certificate within ten (10) business days of receipt by Tenant of a written request by Landlord as herein provided, Tenant shall be deemed to have given such certificate as above provided without modification and shall be deemed to have admitted the accuracy of any information supplied by Landlord to any prospective purchaser or mortgagee and to have certified that this Lease is in full force and effect, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, that the Security Deposit is as stated in the Lease, and that not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance.
28. Transfer of Landlord’s Interest; Limitation of Liability. In the event of any transfer or transfers of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or in the Building, other than a transfer for security purposes only, the transferor shall be automatically relieved of any and all obligations and liabilities on the part of Landlord accruing from and after the date of such transfer. Tenant agrees to attorn to the transferee, such attornment shall be deemed to occur automatically without further agreement of Tenant.

29. Nonwaiver. Waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition herein contained or any breach thereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.
30. Quiet Possession. Landlord warrants that so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period and so long as this Lease has not been terminated, Tenant’s quiet possession of the Premises during the Term shall not be disturbed by Landlord or others claiming through Landlord.

In such event, Tenant within five (5) days of written demand therefor by Landlord shall deposit with Landlord the amount so applied. If Tenant shall have fully complied with all covenants and conditions of this Lease, but not otherwise, the amount of the Security Deposit then held by Landlord shall be repaid to Tenant (or at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. In the event of Tenant’s default, Landlord’s rights to retain the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity available to Landlord for Tenant’s default under this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep any Security Deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest thereon.
