There shall be excluded from Real Estate Taxes all income, estate, succession, inheritance, excess profit, franchise and transfer taxes; provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the present system of ad valorem taxation of real property shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole or any part of the ad valorem tax on real property, there shall be assessed on the Landlord a capital levy or other tax on the gross rents received with respect to the Property, or a federal, state, county, municipal or other local income, franchise, excise or similar tax, assessment, levy or charge (distinct from any now in effect) based, in whole or in part, upon any such gross rents, then any and all of such taxes, assessments, levies or charges, to the extent so based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “Real Estate Taxes.” |

In case the Landlord is prevented or delayed from making any repairs, alterations or improvements, or furnishing any services or performing any other covenant or duty to be performed on the Landlord’s part, by reason of any Force Majeure, the Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant therefor, nor, except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, shall the Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason thereof, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in the Tenant’s favor that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises.

Section 11.4 - Waivers by the Landlord or Tenant.
The failure of the Landlord or the Tenant to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by the Landlord of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by the Landlord or the Tenant, unless such waiver be in writing signed by the waiving party. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by the Landlord or the Tenant to or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty.
Section 11.5 - Acceptance of Partial Payments of Rent.
No acceptance by the Landlord of a lesser sum than the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent then due shall be deemed to be other than a partial installment of such rent due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and the Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to the Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided. The delivery of keys to any employee of the Landlord or to the Landlord’s agent or any employee thereof shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.
Section 11.6 - Interpretation and Partial Invalidity.
If any term of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. The titles of the Articles are for convenience only and not to be considered in construing this Lease. This Lease contains all of the agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all prior dealings between them with respect to such subject matter.

Upon the expiration of this Lease or if the Premises should be abandoned by the Tenant, or this Lease should terminate for any cause, and at the time of such expiration, vacation, abandonment or termination, the Tenant or Tenant’s agents, subtenants or any other person should leave any property of any kind or character on or in the Premises, the fact of such leaving of property on or in the Premises shall be conclusive evidence of intent by the Tenant, and individuals and entities deriving their rights through the Tenant, to abandon such property so left in or upon the Premises, and such leaving shall constitute abandonment of the property. Landlord shall have the right and authority without notice to the Tenant or anyone else, to remove and destroy, or to sell or authorize disposal of such property, or any part thereof, without being in any way liable to the Tenant therefor and the proceeds thereof shall belong to the Landlord as compensation for the removal and disposition of such property.
If the Tenant fails to surrender possession of the Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, the Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as rent for any period after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Annual Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent required to be paid under this Lease as applied to any period in which the Tenant shall remain in possession. Acceptance by the Landlord of such payments shall not constitute a consent to a holdover hereunder or result in a renewal or extension of the Tenant’s rights of occupancy. Such payments shall be in addition to and shall not affect or limit the Landlord’s right of re-entry, Landlord’s right to collect such damages as may be available at law, or any other rights of the Landlord under this Lease or as provided by law.

28
affiliate transfers involving Landlord, or (iii) any other transfer or sale to a special purpose entity created to hold title to the Property for the benefit of Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord without material consideration therefore), then Landlord, prior to selling the Property, must first offer the Property for sale to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.10 by delivering written notice thereof to Tenant (the “Sale Notice”).
(b) Right of First Offer. For a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of the Sale Notice (the “Sale Period”), Tenant shall have the right and option (the “Right of First Offer”), exercisable by written notice to Landlord delivered within the Sale Period, to elect to make an offer to Landlord to purchase the Property in accordance with terms and conditions to be contained therein (the “Tenant’s Offer”). If Tenant declines or fails to timely deliver the Tenant’s Offer in the Sale Period, then (i) the Right of First Offer shall forever lapse, (ii) Tenant’s rights under this Section 11.10 shall automatically become null and void and of no further force or effect, (iii) Landlord shall be permitted to sell the Property at any time free and clear of the terms of this Section 11.10 and (iv) upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall promptly acknowledge the same in writing for the benefit of Landlord.
(c) If Tenant timely delivers the Tenant’s Offer within the Sale Period, then Landlord shall have a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (the “Acceptance Period”) to notify Tenant in writing (the “Landlord’s Acceptance Notice”) if Landlord accepts Tenant’s Offer on the terms and conditions contained therein.

Landlord and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other (except for personal injury, death or property damage) on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or for the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise. If Landlord commences any summary proceeding against Tenant, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding (unless failure to impose such counterclaim would preclude Tenant from asserting in a separate action the claim which is the subject of such counterclaim), and will not seek to consolidate such proceeding with any other action which may have been or will be brought in any other court by Tenant.
