2.4 Delivery Of Possession. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant acknowledges that the terms and provisions of this Lease are specifically contingent upon Landlord obtaining uncontested, exclusive legal right, title, interest and possession of the Leased Premises from the existing occupant In the event Landlord does not obtain such possession within thirty (30) days following the Intended Commencement Date, either party may, by written notice to the other, terminate this Lease and neither party shall be liable to the other for any costs, expenses or liabilities incurred by the other in connection with the preparation for Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Premises.

If the Leased Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas and the Property are not surrendered to Landlord in the condition required by this paragraph at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at Tenant's expense, so remove Tenant's signs and/or personal property and/or improvements not so removed and make such repairs and replacements not so made or hire, at Tenant's expense, independent contractors to perform such work. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in returning the Leased Premises, the Building and the Outside Areas to the required condition, together with interest on all costs so incurred from the date paid by Landlord at the lesser of ten percent (10%) or the maximum rate of interest not prohibited or made usurious by law until paid.

Landlord reserves the right to revise such estimate from time to time.

If any portion of the Property Operating Expenses relates solely to the Building and/or the Outside Areas immediately surrounding the Building, then Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of those Property Operating Expenses.

In the event Tenant is responsible to pay taxes directly, Landlord shall have no obligation to make such payments, whether or not Landlord receives evidence of payment from Tenant, and Tenant shall in all cases be responsible for any fines, penalties, interest and damages for late payment.

If Tenant shall have paid more than its obligation for such expenses for the stated period, Landlord shall, at its election, either (i) credit the amount of such overpayment toward the next ensuing payment or payments of Additional Rent that would otherwise be due or (ii) refund in cash to Tenant the amount of such overpayment. If such year-end statement shall show that Tenant did not pay its obligation for such expenses in full, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment within thirty (30) days from Landlord's billing of same to Tenant. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
If requested by Tenant, Landlord shall permit Tenant to audit Landlord's books and records maintained by Landlord with respect to a given calendar year or any portion thereof, within two (2) years of Tenant's receipt of the year end reconciliation for the calendar year in question. In addition, Tenant may only audit the books and records for a particular calendar year one time. Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) day's prior written notice of its intention to conduct such an audit, which shall be conducted at Landlord's property manager's offices during usual business hours. Tenant agrees not to use an auditor whose fee is based on a percentage of the differences found. The cost of such audit shall be borne by Tenant; provided, however, that in the event the audit reveals that the actual Property Operating Expenses for the calendar year in question are more than five percent (5%) less than the Property Operating Expenses reflected in the corresponding reconciliation statement(s) presented by Landlord which is the subject of the audit, Tenant's reasonable cost of conducting the audit shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days following written request from Tenant.
