If (i) such an application is successful for reasons other than the existence of vacancies in the Building and (ii) Tenant has made any payment in respect of Taxes pursuant to this Article 6 for the period with respect to which the abatement was granted, Landlord shall (a) deduct from the amount of the abatement all expenses incurred by it in connection with the application (b) recompute Tenant's obligation with respect to Taxes under Section 6.01 and refund any overpayment to Tenant and (c) retain the balance, if any.

 

 

 

ex10.5_exhibit10-5_page_18.jpg 6.06Electric Service; Payment as Additional Rent. If applicable, the Estimated Cost of Electrical Service is Landlord's estimate of the cost (on the date hereof) of lighting the Premises and operating Tenant's office equipment. This estimate is based on information supplied to Landlord by Tenant and shall be subject to adjustment as hereinafter set forth. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of providing such electrical energy by paying to Landlord the Estimated Cost of Electrical Service. Tenant shall pay Landlord (without previous demand therefor) such amount in monthly installments on the same day on which Basic Rent is due. If Tenant (a) connects equipment (i) other than normal office equipment or (ii) which operates in excess of 120 volts nominal to the Building distribution system or (b) operates any such equipment beyond normal operating hours, the Estimated Cost of Electrical Service shall be increased by an amount which will reflect the cost to Landlord of the additional electrical service to be furnished by Landlord. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the amount of such increase, such amount shall be conclusively determined by a reputable independent electrical engineer or consulting firm to be selected by Landlord and paid equally by both parties. All additional risers or other equipment required for equipment other than normal office equipment or equipment which operates on 120 volts nominal shall be provided by Landlord, and the cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to install, at Tenant's expense, a so-called check meter which shall measure the amount of electricity actually used in the Premises. If Landlord exercises such right, then from and after the effective date of such new metering, Landlord may xxxx Tenant periodically for electricity usage as shown by such meter. If at any time Landlord provides electricity which it or an Affiliate has generated, whether by solar panels or otherwise ("Landlord-generated Electricity"), Landlord may (a) charge Tenant therefor if Tenant pays for electricity by metering , by the payment of the Estimated cost of Electrical Service or otherwise and (b) to the extent electricity may be included in Operating Expenses, Landlord may include a charge for such Landlord-generated Electricity in Operating Expenses, in each case at the same rate which the electric utility provider charges for the same amount of electricity. If Landlord or an Affiliate generates Landlord-generated Electricity at another property which results in Landlord obtaining a credit against the electric utility provider's charges for electricity at the Building, the cost of electricity at the Building shall be determined as if such credit had not been obtained. 6.07Change in Rates or Usage. The Estimated Cost of Electrical Service is based on current rates for such service and Landlord's good faith estimate of the usage of electricity by Tenant. If at any time after the date of this Lease, (i) the rates at which Landlord purchases electrical energy, or any charges incurred or taxes payable by Landlord in connection therewith shall be increased or (ii) the usage by Tenant exceeds Landlord's estimate thereof, the Estimated Cost of Electrical Service shall be increased by an amount equal to the estimated increase in Landlord's cost of furnishing the electricity referred to above as a result of such increase in rates, charges, taxes or usage.

 

 

 

ex10.5_exhibit10-5_page_19.jpg 6.08Late Payment of Rent and Late Charges. Tenant's failure to pay Rent, Additional Rent, or any other Lease costs when due under this Lease may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of such costs are impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage, or deed of trust encumbering the Land or Building. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive the Rent, Additional Rent, or any other Lease costs in full within five (5) days of its due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge, which shall constitute liquidated damages, equal to ten percent (10%) of each unpaid portion ("Late Charge"), which shall be paid to Landlord together with such Rent, Additional Rent, or other Lease costs then in arrears. The parties agree that such Late Charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment. For each Tenant payment check to Landlord that is returned by a bank for any reason, Tenant shall pay both a Late Charge (if applicable) and a returned check charge ("Returned Check Charge") in an amount equal to that charged by Landlord's bank at the time. All Late Charges and any Returned Check Charge shall then become Additional Rent and shall be due and payable immediately along with such other Rent, Additional Rent, or other Lease costs then in arrears. Money paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be applied to Tenant's account in the following order: (i) to any unpaid Additional Rent, including, without limitation, Late Charges, Returned Check Charges, legal fees and/or court costs legally chargeable to Tenant, Operating Expenses and Taxes; and then (ii) to unpaid Basic Rent. Nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to compel Landlord to accept any payment of Rent, Additional Rent, or other Lease costs in arrears or Late Charge or Returned Check Charge should Landlord elect to apply its rights and remedies available under this Lease or at law or in equity in the case of an Event of Default hereunder by Tenant. Landlord's acceptance of Rent, Additional Rent, or other Lease costs in arrears or Late Charge or Returned Check Charge pursuant to this clause shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's rights and remedies available under this Lease at law or in equity. In the event that Tenant makes three or more late payments of Rent during the Term, Landlord may deem such action, without further notice, to constitute an Event of Default sufficient to terminate (i) the Lease (ii) any provision for exercise by Tenant of any option rights under the Lease or (iii) both.

All alterations and additions shall be part of the Premises unless and until Landlord shall specify the same for removal in a notice delivered to Tenant on or before the Lease Termination Date. All of Tenant's alterations and additions and installation of furnishings shall be coordinated with any work being performed by Landlord and in such manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations and not to damage the Building or the Premises or interfere with Building operation and, except for installation of furnishings, shall be performed by contractors or workmen first approved by Landlord. Except for work done by or through Landlord, Tenant before its work is started shall: secure all licenses and permits necessary therefor; deliver to Landlord a statement of the names of all its contractors and subcontractors and the estimated cost of all labor and material to be furnished by them; provide to Landlord such payment, performance and xxxx xxxxx or other security as Landlord shall reasonably require; and cause each contractor to carry workers' compensation insurance in statutory amounts covering all the contractor's and subcontractor's employees and commercial general liability insurance with limits as Landlord may reasonably require, but in no event less than $1,000,000.00 and property damage insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 and have deductibles of no more than $5,000.00 (all such insurance to be written by companies approved by Landlord and insuring Tenant and Landlord and its managing agent and its mortgagees, as well as the contractors), and to deliver to Landlord certificates of all such insurance. Tenant agrees to pay promptly when due the entire cost of any work done in the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees or independent contractors, and not to cause or permit any liens therewith to attach to the Premises and immediately to discharge any such liens which may so attach. All construction work done by Tenant, its agents, employees or independent contractors shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements.

Any property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and may be removed and disposed of by Landlord in such manner as it shall determine.

Tenant will pay the Landlord a reasonable charge for any extra cleaning of the Premises required because of the carelessness or indifference of Tenant and for any Additional Services rendered at the request of Tenant. If the cost of cleaning the Premises shall be increased due to the installation in the Premises, at Tenant's request, of any unique or special materials, finish or equipment, Tenant shall pay the Landlord an amount equal to such increase in cost. All charges for Additional Services shall be due and payable within ten (10) days of the date on which they are billed. 8.04Limitations on Landlord’s Liability. Landlord shall not be liable for damages, and not in default hereunder, for any failure or delay in complying with its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, furnishing electricity, any Basic Service or Additional Service, when such failure or delay is occasioned by Force Majeure or by the act or Default of Tenant. No such failure or delay shall be held or pleaded as eviction or disturbance in any manner whatsoever of Tenant's possession or give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or give rise to any claim for set-off or any abatement of Rent of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. 8.05Electric Service. If electricity is separately metered for the Premises, Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain electricity from such source or sources as Landlord shall designate from time to time as the electricity source or sources for the Building, and Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish electricity to the Premises.

All merchandise, furniture, fixtures and property of every kind, nature and description of Tenant or Tenant's employees, agents, contractors, invitees, visitors, or guests which may be in or upon the Premises, the Land or the Building during the Lease Term shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant, and if the whole or any part thereof shall be damaged, destroyed, stolen or removed by reason of any cause or reason whatsoever, other than the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, no part of said damage or loss shall be charged to or borne by Landlord. 14.02 Landlord's Liability.

Unless Landlord shall not elect to insure the same, Tenant shall cause all alterations and improvements to the Premises made by or for Tenant to be insured for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant, as their respective interests may appear, against loss or damage under all risk coverage satisfactory to Landlord in an amount equal to the replacement value thereof. Certificates thereof shall be delivered to Landlord. 15.03 Certificates. Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord certificates of the insurance required under Sections 15.01 and 15.02 as of the date hereof and thereafter not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy. Such insurance shall not be cancelable without thirty (30) days' written notice to Landlord. ARTICLE 16 Waiver of Subrogation 16.01 Waiver of Subrogation.

ex10.5_exhibit10-5_page_29.jpg the insurer to make any claim against the other party. The parties hereto agree that their policies will include such waiver clause or endorsement. 16.02 Waiver of Rights. Notwithstanding any other terms or provisions of this Lease, each Landlord and Tenant, on behalf of itself and its insurers, hereby waives all claims, causes of action and rights of recovery against the other and the other's respective partners, agents, officers and employees, for any damage to or destruction of property or business which shall occur on or about the Land or the Building and shall result from any of the perils insured under any and all policies of insurance maintained by the waiving party, regardless of cause, including the negligence and intentional wrongdoing of either party and their respective agents, officers and employees but only to the extent of recovery, if any under such policy or policies of insurance; provided however, that this waiver shall be ineffective in the event any such insurer would be relieved from the obligation to make payment pursuant to a policy of insurance by reason of this waiver. ARTICLE 17 Damage or Destruction 17.01 Substantial Damage. If the Building or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty to the extent that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord's sole opinion, be required (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged) or if all or any portion of the insurance proceeds are applied to the mortgage debt or if the net insurance proceeds available to Landlord are insufficient to restore, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage. If this Lease is so terminated, Rent shall be abated as of the date of such damage. 17.02 Restoration. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 17.01, Landlord shall, after receipt by Landlord of the Proceeds payable in respect of such fire or other casualty, proceed with reasonable diligence to repair and restore the Building (subject to Force Majeure) to substantially the same condition in which it was immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty. Landlord may, but shall not be required to, repair or restore any alterations or improvements made by Tenant, and, if Landlord elects to do so, Tenant shall make available to Landlord all insurance proceeds relating thereto. Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any part of Tenant's furniture, furnishings or fixtures or equipment. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof, except that, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy.

If the Premises or the Building should be the subject of a Total Taking, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date when physical possession of the Building or the Premises is taken by the condemning authority. 18.02 Partial Taking. If there shall occur a Partial Taking, Rent shall be abated by an amount representing that part of the Rent properly allocable to the portion of the Premises so taken and Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole expense, restore and reconstruct the Building (to the extent of the net proceeds made available to Landlord) and the Premises to substantially their former condition to the extent that the same, in Landlord's judgment, may be feasible. The Landlord shall have no liability for interruption of Tenant's business. 18.03. Awards and Proceeds. All Proceeds payable in respect of a Taking shall be the property of Landlord. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rights of Tenant in or to such Proceeds, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to separately petition the condemning authority for a separate award for its moving expenses and trade fixtures but only if such a separate award will not diminish the amount of Proceeds payable to Landlord. ARTICLE 19 Quiet Enjoyment 19.01 Landlord's Covenant. Provided that an Event of Default has not occurred and is not then continuing, Tenant shall, subject to the Permitted Exceptions, quietly have and enjoy the Premises during the Lease Term, without hindrance or molestation from any Person lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord. 19.02 Superiority of Lease: Option to Subordinate.

No act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would entitle Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Tenant's obligations hereunder or to terminate this Lease, shall result in a release or termination of such obligations or a termination of this Lease unless (i) Tenant shall have first given written notice of Landlord's act or failure to act to Landlord's mortgagees of record, if any, specifying the act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which could or would give rise to Tenant's rights, and (ii) such mortgagees, after receipt of such notice, have had the opportunity to cure such default within a reasonable time thereafter; but nothing contained in this Section 19.03 shall be deemed to impose any obligation on any such mortgagees to correct or cure any such condition. "Reasonable time" as used above shall mean a period of not less than thirty (30) Business Days and shall include (but not be limited to) a reasonable time to obtain possession of the Building if the mortgagee elects to do so and a reasonable time to correct or cure the condition if such condition is determined to exist. 19.04 Other Provisions Regarding Mortgagees. If this Lease or the Rent due hereunder is assigned to a mortgagee as collateral security for a loan, no such mortgagee shall be deemed to have assumed any of Landlord's obligations hereunder solely as a result of said assignment. A mortgagee to whom this Lease has been so assigned shall be deemed to have assumed such obligations only if (i) by the terms of the instrument of assignment such mortgagee specifically elects to assume such obligations or (ii) such mortgagee has (a) foreclosed its mortgage, (b) accepted a deed in lieu thereof, or (c) taken possession of the Premises by entry or otherwise. Even if such mortgagee assumes the obligations of Landlord hereunder, (i) any such obligation under Section 24.01 to return the Security Deposit to the Tenant shall be limited to the amount actually received by the mortgagee with respect thereto, and (ii) such mortgagee will be liable for breaches of any of Landlord's obligations hereunder only to the extent such breaches occur during the period of ownership by the mortgagee after foreclosure (or any conveyance by a deed in lieu thereof), all as set forth in Section 25.09 hereof. Tenant shall from time to time, at the request of Landlord or any of Landlord's mortgagees, provide Landlord and such mortgagee with financial information pertaining to Tenant as Landlord or such mortgagee may reasonably request. ARTICLE20 Defa11lts;_ Events of Default 20.01 Defaults. The following shall, if any requirement for notice or lapse of time or both has not been met, constitute Defaults, and, if such requirement for notice or lapse of time have been met, constitute Events of Default hereunder: (1)Occurrence of any event set forth in Article 21 hereof; (2) The failure of Tenant to pay Rent when the same shall be due and payable and the continuance of such failure for a period of five (5) days after receipt by Tenant of notice in writing from Landlord specifying such failure;

 

 

 

ex10.5_exhibit10-5_page_32.jpg (3) The failure of Tenant to observe any covenant made by it in Sections 13.01, 15.01 and 25.03 hereof; (4) The failure of Tenant to keep, observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant's part to be kept, observed or performed and the continuance of such failure without the curing of same for a period of twenty (20) days after receipt by Tenant of notice in writing from Landlord specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such failure. 20.02 Tenant's Best Efforts. In the event that the Default under Section 20.01(4) is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within such twenty (20) day period, then such Default shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default so long as Tenant, after receiving such notice, proceeds to cure the Default as soon as reasonably possible and continues to take all steps necessary to complete the same within a period of time which, under all prevailing circumstances, shall be reasonable. No such Default under Section 20.01(4) shall be deemed to be an Event of Default if and so long as Tenant shall be so proceeding to cure the same in good faith or be delayed in or prevented from curing the same by reason of Force Majeure. ARTICLE21 Insolvency 21.01 Insolvency. If (1) there occurs with respect to Tenant an Insolvency or (2) any execution or attachment is issued against Tenant or any of its property and as a result thereof the Premises are taken or occupied by some Person other than the Tenant, except as may herein be permitted, then an Event of Default hereunder shall be deemed to have occurred so that the provisions of Article 22 hereof shall become effective and Landlord shall have the rights and remedies provided for therein. XXXXXXX00 Landlord's Remedies; Damages on Default 22.01 Landlord's Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Landlord may, at its option, give to Tenant a notice terminating this Lease upon a date specified in such notice, or Landlord may enter the Premises for the purpose of terminating this Lease, and upon the date specified in said notice or upon such entry the term and estate hereby vested in Tenant shall cease and any and all other right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall likewise cease without further notice or lapse of time, as fully and with like effect as if the entire Lease Term had lapsed, but Tenant shall continue to be liable to Landlord as hereinafter provided.

 

 

 

ex10.5_exhibit10-5_page_33.jpg If such Event of Default results from Tenant's failure to pay any sums payable under Section 7.01, Landlord may, at its option, in addition to or in lieu of the other remedies available to Landlord, refuse Tenant access to the Premises. If such Event of Default results from Tenant's failure to pay a charge for an Additional Service pursuant to Section 8.03 hereof, Landlord may, without further notice to Tenant, discontinue any or all of such Additional Services. 22.02 Surrender. Upon any termination of this Lease as the result of an Event of Default, Tenant shall quit and peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord. Upon or at any time after any such termination, Landlord may without further notice enter the Premises and possess itself thereof by summary proceedings or otherwise, and may dispossess Tenant and remove Tenant and all other Persons and property from the Premises and may have, hold and enjoy the Premises and the right to receive all rental income of and from the same. 22.03 Right to Relet. At any time from time to time after any such termination, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof, in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term) and on such conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may determine and may collect and receive the rents therefor. Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. 22.04 Survival of Covenants. No such termination of this Lease shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations under this Lease and such liability and obligations shall survive any such termination. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, cost, expense, damage or liability arising out of or in connection with such termination. In the event of any termination, Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to rrut1gate damages and Tenant shall pay the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other sums payable hereunder up to the time of such termination, and. thereafter Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such termination, and whether or not the Premises shall have been relet, shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord, as current damages, the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other sums which would be payable hereunder if such termination had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the Premises , after deducting all expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such current damages to Landlord monthly on the days which the Basic Rent would have been payable hereunder if this Lease had not been terminated.

 

 

 

ex10.5_exhibit10-5_page_34.jpg At any time after such termination, whether or not Landlord shall have collected any such current damages and in lieu of all such current damages beyond the date of such demand, at Landlord's election Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the excess, if any of the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other sums as hereinbefore provided which this paragraph would be payable hereunder from the date of such demand (assuming that for the purposes of this paragraph, annual payments by Tenant on account of Taxes and Operating Expenses would be the same as the payments required for the immediately preceding Calendar Year) for what would be the then unexpired Term of this Lease if the same had remained in effect, over the then fair net value of the Premises for the same period. 22.05 Right to Equitable Relief. If there shall occur a Default or threatened Default, Landlord shall be entitled to enjoin such Default or threatened Default and shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though re-entry, summary proceedings, and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease. 22.06 Right to Self Help; Interest on Overdue Rent. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to enter upon the Premises and to perform the defaulted obligation notwithstanding the fact that no specific provision for such substituted performance by Landlord is made in this Lease with respect to such Event of Default. In performing such obligation, Landlord may make any payment of money or perform any other act. The aggregate of (i) all sums so paid by Landlord, (ii) interest (at the rate of 1 1/2% per month or the highest rate permitted by law, whichever is less) on such sums and (iii) all necessary incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, shall be deemed to be Rent under this Lease and shall be payable to Landlord immediately upon demand. Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving any other of its rights or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. All Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate provided in the preceding paragraph, payable on demand. 22.07 Payment of Landlord's Cost of Enforcement Tenant shall pay, on demand, Landlord's expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in enforcing any obligation of Tenant under this Lease or in curing any default by Tenant under this Lease as provided in Section 22.06. 22.08 F11I"ther Remedies. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 22.01, or at any time thereafter, Landlord may, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies Landlord shall have at law or in equity, re-enter the Premises, and recover possession thereof and may dispossess any or all occupants of the Premises in the manner prescribed by the statute relating to summary proceedings, or similar statute(s); but Tenant in such case shall remain liable to Landlord as hereinbefore provided.

 

 

 

ex10.5_exhibit10-5_page_35.jpg ARTICLE23 Waivers 23.01 No Waivers. Failure of Landlord to complain of any act or omission on the part of Tenant no matter how long the same may continue, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by said Landlord of any of its rights hereunder. No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of a breach of the same or any other provision. No acceptance by Landlord of any partial payment shall constitute an accord or satisfaction but shall only be deemed a partial payment on account. ARTICLE24 Security Deposit 24.01 Security Deposit. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver the Security Deposit to Landlord, either in cash or in the form of a letter of credit. If any portion of the Security Deposit is a letter of credit, the applicable letter of credit shall be an irrevocable standby letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") in the amount of the Security Deposit issued in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L/C by a bank satisfactory to Landlord (the "Bank"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit shall name Landlord as the beneficiary and provide that is may be drawn against upon the furnishing of a statement to the Bank, from an individual who purports to be an authorized officer or agent of Landlord, that the Letter of Credit is being drawn upon in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall hold the Letter of credit as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed under this Lease. The Security Deposit may not be deemed by Tenant to constitute rent for any month. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have on account thereof, to draw upon the Letter of Credit and apply such funds to Landlord's damages arising from any default on the part of Tenant, in which event Tenant shall immediately upon request by Landlord restore the balance of the Letter of Credit to the amount required hereunder. Tenant shall not have the right to call upon Landlord to apply all or any part of the Security Deposit to cure any default or fulfill an obligation of Tenant, but such use shall be solely in the discretion of Landlord. Tenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit, or a substitute Letter of credit from the Bank (or another bank approved by Landlord and conforming to the requirements of this Section 24.01), in accordance with the terms hereof, in full force and effect at all times through the Term and for thirty (30) days thereafter. If the Letter of Credit will expire, Tenant shall replace the Letter of Credit deposited with Landlord by providing Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior

 

 

 

ex10.5_exhibit10-5_page_36.jpg (each such 30th day prior being referred to herein as a "Change Date") to the expiration date of the then effective Letter of Credit in the amount required hereunder. Any failure by Tenant to provide such a substitute Letter of Credit shall be a Default of Tenant for which there shall be no grace period, and shall entitle Landlord to draw on all funds available under the Letter of Credit and hold the same as security for Tenant's performance of its obligations under this Lease. If Landlord in its reasonable judgment determines that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit currently held by Landlord no longer satisfies the requirements of this Lease or is no longer of sufficient net worth or creditworthiness, Landlord may require that Tenant, within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice thereof, obtain, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a substitute Letter of Credit from another bank reasonably approved by Landlord and satisfying the requirements of this Lease. As soon as reasonably practicable following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit or so much thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this section or drawn upon by Landlord and applied by Landlord to cure any Default of Tenant hereunder. Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on Letter of Credit or any proceeds therefrom. No party other than Landlord, its successors and assigns, and Tenant shall have any rights to such proceeds as a third-party beneficiary. If Landlord conveys Landlord's interest under this Lease, the Letter of Credit may be assigned or negotiated by Landlord to Landlord's grantee, and if so assigned or negotiated, provided Landlord gives Tenant notice of the name of such grantee, Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee for proper application of the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Section and the return thereof in accordance herewith. Upon such delivery, Tenant hereby releases grantor Landlord of any and all liability with respect to the Letter of Credit, the application of any proceeds thereof and its return, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee. This provision shall also apply to subsequent grantees. Neither the holder of a mortgage nor the lessor in a ground lease of property which includes the Premises shall ever be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of Security Deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless the Security Deposit shall have been received in hand by such holder or ground lessor. If any portion of the Security Deposit shall be in the form of cash (the "Cash Security Deposit"), then the following provisions shall be applicable. At any time during the Term, Tenant shall have the right to substitute a Cash Security Deposit for the Letter of Credit. The Cash Security Deposit will be held by Landlord in the amount of the Security Deposit as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed under this Lease. The Cash Security Deposit may not be deemed by Tenant to constitute rent for any month. Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the Cash Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to hold the Cash Security Deposit in a segregated account. No party other than Landlord, its successors and assigns and Tenant shall have any rights to the Cash Security Deposit as a third-party beneficiary. The then remaining portion of the Cash Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant as soon as reasonably practicable after the expiration of the

 

 

 

ex10.5_exhibit10-5_page_37.jpg Term, provided there then exists no Default of Tenant. Tenant shall not have the right to call upon Landlord to apply all or any part of the Cash Security Deposit to cure any default or fulfill any obligation of Tenant, but such use shall be solely in the discretion of Landlord. In the event that Landlord applies any portion or all of the Cash Security Deposit to Landlord's damages arising from any default of Tenant, Tenant shall immediately upon request by Landlord restore the balance of the Cash Security Deposit to the amount required under this Lease. Upon any conveyance by Landlord of its interest under this Lease, the Cash Security Deposit shall be delivered by Landlord to Landlord's grantee. Upon any such delivery, Tenant hereby releases Landlord herein named of any and all liability with respect to the Cash Security Deposit, its application and return, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee or transferee. This provision shall also apply to subsequent grantees and transferees. Neither the holder of a mortgage nor the lessor in a ground lease of property which includes the Premises shall ever be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of Security Deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless the Security Deposit shall have been received in hand by such holder or ground lessor. In the event that on two (2) occasions during the Lease Term a Default shall occur for which Landlord shall give Tenant a notice of Default, whether or not such Default shall be timely cured, and without limiting Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, Tenant shall, immediately upon notice from Landlord, increase the Security Deposit by paying to Landlord an additional amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the original Security Deposit, the original Security Deposit and such amount to be held thereafter by Landlord as the Security Deposit under the terms and provisions hereof. ARTICLE25 General Provisions 25.01 Force Majeure. In the event that Landlord or Tenant shall be delayed, hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of Force Majeure, then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. 25.02 Notices and Communications. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications provided for or permitted under this Lease shall be in writing, either delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid or by a recognized overnight courier which maintains delivery records, to the following address: (a) if to Landlord at the address stated in Section 1.01 hereof, or at such other address as Landlord shall have designated in writing to the Tenant, with a copy to such Persons as Landlord shall have designated in writing to Tenant, or
