If Tenant shall require air conditioning, heating or ventilation outside the hours and days above specified, Tenant shall pay therefor such charges on a pro rata basis for the Premises Rentable Area as may from time to time be in effect for the Building upon demand as Additional Rent.

(c) Capacity. Tenant warrants and represents to Landlord that its electrical demand requirement shall be ordinary and customary for the Permitted Use, and that it has no reason to believe that such demand requirement will adversely affect the Building’s electrical system. Tenant’s use of electrical energy in the Premises shall not at any time exceed the maximum capacity permitted from time to time under Applicable Law and Tenant shall repair any damage caused by Tenant’s failure to observe such requirements.

(d) No Landlord Liability. Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any failure or defect in the supply or character of electrical energy furnished to the Premises by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public or other utility serving the Building with electricity unless due to the act or omission of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents or independent contractors. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss, damage or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur if the quantity, character or supply of electrical energy is changed or is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements unless due to the negligent act or omission of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents or independent contractors.

(e) Limitation on Equipment. In order to assure that the capacity of the electrical system of the Building is not exceeded and to avert possible damage thereto, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior consent, connect any fixtures, appliances or equipment to the Building’s electric distribution system other than ordinary and customary electrical equipment normally found in business offices and not drawing more than the building standard, as adjusted by Landlord from time to time.

emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements necessary or advisable, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, or when prevented from supplying such services or use due to any act or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, invitees or independent contractors or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant or by Force Majeure. If Landlord acts in accordance with the foregoing, no diminution or abatement of Base Rent or Additional Rent, nor any direct, indirect or consequential damages shall be claimed by Tenant as a result of, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected or reduced by reason of, any such interruption, curtailment, suspension or stoppage in the furnishing of the foregoing services or use, irrespective of the cause thereof. In addition, failure or omission on the part of Landlord to furnish any of the foregoing services or use as provided in this Article shall not: (i) be construed as an eviction of Tenant, actual or constructive; (ii) entitle Tenant to an abatement of Base Rent or Additional Rent; (iii) release Tenant from prompt fulfillment of any of its covenants under this Lease; or (iv) except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents, render the Landlord liable in damages.

(d) Tenant Casualty Insurance. Tenant agrees to maintain in full force from the date upon which Tenant first enters the Premises for any reason, throughout the Term of this Lease, and thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of all or any part of the Premises, property insurance (ISO Causes of Loss – Special Form) on a “replacement cost” basis, insuring Tenant’s Removable Property, and Landlord’s Work, to the extent that the same have not become the property of Landlord.

Tenant shall, prior to entering the Premises for any reason, deliver to Landlord a certificate of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord with respect thereto.

(f) Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall insure the Property, including the Building and Premises, against damage by fire and other standard perils, and shall carry public liability insurance, all in such reasonable amounts as would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar building in the area. Tenant acknowledges that insurance carried by Landlord shall not be in lieu of any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, or Tenant’s Agents, contractors or invitees for any damage to or loss of personal property (including, but not limited to, claims for the interruption of or loss to Tenant’s business arising from the loss of personal property ) based on, arising out of or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, repairs to any portion of the Premises or the Property, any fire, robbery, theft, mysterious disappearance and/or any other crime or casualty, the actions of any other tenants of the Building or of any other person or persons, or any leakage in any part or portion of the Premises or the Building, or from water, rain or snow that may leak into, or flow from any part of the Premises or the Building, or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Building, except for damage to or loss of personal property of Tenant’s Agents, invitees and independent contractors when due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents.

11.3 Waiver of Subrogation. The parties hereto shall each procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement to, any property insurance policy on the Property, including the Building and the Premises, or any personal property, fixtures or equipment located thereon or therein, pursuant to which the insurer waives subrogation or consents to a waiver of right of recovery in favor of either party and its respective Agents.

ARTICLE XII

FIRE, EMINENT DOMAIN, ETC.

If the Premises shall be damaged by fire or casualty, the rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall xxxxx or be reduced proportionately for the period in which, by reason of such damage, there is substantial interference with the operation of Tenant’s use of the Premises, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue Tenant’s use of the Premises, but such abatement or reduction shall end if and when Landlord shall have substantially restored the Premises (exclusive of any of Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings, equipment and the like or work performed therein by Tenant) to substantially the condition in which the Premises were in prior to such damage .

If any part of the Building is taken by any exercise of the power of eminent domain, as a result of which there is substantial interference with the operation of Tenant’s use of the Premises, then the rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be justly and equitably abated and reduced according to the nature and extent of the loss of use thereof suffered by Tenant.

If the Premises or the Building are substantially effected by fire, casualty or a taking by an exercise of the right of eminent domain (the term “substantially effected” meaning damage of such a character that (i) the Premises are rendered totally or partially inaccessible or unusable by Tenant in the ordinary conduct of the Tenant’s business, and (ii) the same cannot, in the ordinary course, reasonably be expected to be repaired or replaced within ninety (90) days from the time that repair work would commence or the taking is completed), then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to the other party of such election so to do, whereupon this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.

ARTICLE XIII

The foregoing covenant of quiet enjoyment is in lieu of any other covenant, express or implied.

13.3 As to Both Parties.

Any holding over by Tenant after the Expiration Date shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rent equal to 200% of the Adjusted Rent as set forth in Section 3.2 (prorated on a daily basis). Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages, direct and/or indirect, sustained by reason of any such holding over. In all other respects, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as applicable.

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall peaceably quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises in the condition in which the same are required to be kept pursuant to Section 9.2, together with Landlord’s Work, excepting only ordinary wear and use and damage by fire or other casualty for which, under other provisions of this Lease, Tenant has no responsibility to repair or restore.

(ii) Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any other covenant herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed and Tenant shall fail to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant specifying such neglect or failure; provided, however that if such failure is of such a nature that Tenant cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall have an additional period, not to exceed ninety (90) days after the notice described in this subsection (ii), to remedy same, so long as Tenant promptly commences (and in any event within such thirty (30) day period) and prosecutes such remedy to completion with diligence and continuity; or

(iii) Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall be adjudicated insolvent, or shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any present or future Federal, State or other statute, law or regulation for the relief of debtors (other than the Bankruptcy Code, as hereinafter defined), or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or

(iv) An Event of Bankruptcy (as hereinafter defined) shall occur with respect to Tenant; or

(v) A petition shall be filed against Tenant under any law (other than the Bankruptcy Code) seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future Federal State or other statute, law or regulation and shall remain undismissed or unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive), or if any trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties shall be appointed without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant and such appointment shall remain unvacated or unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive);

(vi) If: (x) Tenant shall fail to pay the Base Rent or Additional Rent hereunder when due or shall fail to perform or observe any other covenant herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed and Tenant shall cure any such failure within the applicable grace period set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) above; or (y) a Default of Tenant of the kind set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) above shall occur and Landlord shall, in its sole discretion, permit Tenant to cure such Default of Tenant after the applicable grace period has expired; and the same or a similar failure shall occur two times within the next 365 days (whether or not such similar failure is cured within any applicable grace period);

then in any such case Landlord may terminate this Lease as hereinafter provided.

(vii) For purposes of subsection (a)(iv) above, an “Event of Bankruptcy” means the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant, or the entry of an order for relief against Tenant, under Chapter 7, 11, or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the term “Bankruptcy Code” means 11 X.X.X §000, et seq.

16.2 Landlord’s Remedies.

Upon the occurrence of a Default of Tenant, Landlord lawfully may immediately terminate this Lease by providing notice to Tenant and may use due course of law to evict Tenant and those claiming through or under Tenant, and may use any other lawful remedies; and Tenant covenants that in case of such termination, Tenant will forthwith pay to Landlord as damages a sum equal to the amount by which the rent and other payments called for hereunder for the remainder of the term exceed the fair rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the

term, and, in addition thereto, will during the remainder of the term, pay to Landlord on the last day of each calendar month the difference, if any, between the rental (including without limitation Base Rent and Additional Rent) which would have been due for such month had there been no such termination and the sum of the amount being received by Landlord as rent from occupants of the Premises, if any, and the applicable prorated amount of the damages previously paid to Landlord.

16.3 Waiver.

(a) Failure on the part of Landlord or Tenant to complain of any action or non-action on the part of the other, no matter how long the same may continue, shall never by a waiver by Tenant or Landlord of any of their respective rights hereunder. Further, no waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by Landlord or Tenant shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof, and a waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant to or of any action by the other requiring such consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s or Tenant’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by the other.

(b) No payment by Tenant, or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than that due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be treated otherwise than as a payment on account of the earliest installment of any payment due from Tenant hereunder. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant.

16.4 Landlord’s Default. Landlord shall in no event be in default under this Lease unless Landlord shall neglect or fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder and shall fail to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after notice to Landlord specifying such neglect or failure, or if such failure is of such a nature that Landlord cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall fail to commence promptly (and in any event within such thirty (30) day period) to remedy the same and to prosecute such remedy to completion with diligence and continuity.

16.5 Tenant’s Remedies. In the event of Landlord’s default under this Lease, and failure to cure same within any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall have the remedies available to it at law and in equity, as the same may be limited or waived by the terms hereof. Tenant acknowledges that its covenant to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent hereunder is independent of Landlord’s obligations hereunder, and that in the event that Tenant shall have a claim against Landlord, Tenant shall not have the right to deduct the amount allegedly owed to Tenant from any Base Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder, it being understood that Tenant’s sole remedy for recovering upon such claim shall be to bring an independent legal action against Landlord.

16.6 Landlord’s Liability.

(a) General. Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s equity interest in the Property at the time of recovery for recovery of any judgment against Landlord, and agrees that neither Landlord nor any Successor shall be personally liable for any such judgment, or for the payment of any monetary obligation to Tenant. The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or any Successor, or to take any action not involving the personal liability of Landlord or any Successor to respond in monetary damages from Landlord’s or any Successor’s assets other than Landlord’s or any Successor’s equity interest in the Property. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Landlord shall never be liable to Tenant for any loss of business or any other indirect or consequential damages suffered by Tenant from whatever cause.
