If Tenant notifies Landlord in Tenant's Initial Response that it may be interested in leasing the Initial First Offer Space so offered, Landlord shall provide the terms to Tenant ("Landlord's Initial Offer") within ten (10) business days of Tenant's Initial Response. Landlord's Initial Offer shall be based upon the Annual Fixed Rent, hereinafter set forth, and other business terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space, provided, however, that the term for which such
Initial First Offer Space shall he leased to Tenant shall be coterminous with the Term of this Lease.
(2) If Tenant leases the Initial First Offer Space during Lease Year I, Tenant shall pay Annual Fixed Rent therefor at the same per-rentable-square-foot amounts payable for the Premises during the Term of this Lease, and Base Taxes and Base Operating Expenses shall be as set forth in Section 1.1 hereof.

(12) months thereafter.
b. | For portions of the Premises served by dedicated Main Check Meter(s), and for all Supplemental Check Meter(s) serving the Premises, Ten.ant's allocable share of electricity costs for the period ("Tenant's |
Electricity Payment") shall be determined by multiplying the cost per kilowatt hour charged by the utility(ies) to
Landlord by the number of kilowatt hours utilized by Tenant for such period as indicated by the dedicated Main Check Meter(s) and Supplemental Check Meter(s) for Tenant's Premises.
c. | For portions of the Premises served by shared Main Check Meter(s), the Tenant's Electricity Payment shall be determined by multiplying the cost per kilowatt hour charged by the utility(ies) to Landlord by the number of kilowatt hours utilized as indicated by such shared Main Check Meter(s), and multiplying such total cost by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area leased to Tenant and the denominator of which is the total rentable area under lease to tenants served by such shared Main Check Meter(s); provided, however, that if Landlord shall reasonably determine |
that the cost of electricity furnished to the Tenant at such portion of the Premises exceeds the amount being paid by Tenant, then Landlord shall charge Tenant for such excess and Tenant shall promptly pay the same upon billing therefor as Additional Rent lmder the Lease.

event shall the total of all costs as allocated to tenants (or to unoccupied space) be less than the total cost of electricity for snch floor for said period.
4. | Tenant shall make estimated payments on account of Tenant's Electricity Payment, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, on a monthly basis at the same time and in the same mantier as Tenant's monthly installments of Annual Fixed Rent.

Said statement to be rendered to Tenant also shall show for such period the amounts already paid by Tenant on account of Tenant's Electricity Payment and the amount of Tenant's Electricity Payment remaining due from, or overpaid by, Tenant for the period covered by the statement. Ifsuch statement shows a balance remaining due to Landlord, Tenant shall pay same to Landlord on or before the thirtieth (30"') day following receipt by Tenant of said statement. Any balance shown as due to Tenant shall be credited against Annual Fixed Rent next due, or refunded to Tenant if the Lease Term has then expired and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord. Payments by Tenant on |
account of Tenant's Electricity Payment shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be made monthly at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the
payment of Annual Fixed Rent.
5. | All costs of electricity billed to Landlord through the central utility metering center other than the costs of tenant electricity allocated pursuant to the procedures established herein, shall be treated as part of the Operating Expenses for the Building for purposes of determining the allocation of those costs. |

Should any part of the Premises be so taken or condemned during the Lease Term hereof, and should this Lease not be terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and the bolder of any mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged
premises or any ground lessor of any ground lease which includes ilie Site as part of the demised premises allows the net condemnation proceeds to be applied to the restoration of the Building, Landlord agrees that after ilie determination of the net amount of condemnation proceeds available to Landlord, Landlord shall use due diligence to put what may remain of the Premises into proper condition for use and occupation as nearly like the condition of the Premises prior to such taking as shall be practicable (excluding Tenant's Property).

If such net condemnation proceeds are not allowed by
such mortgagee or ground lessor to be applied to, or are insufficient for, the restoration of the Building and if Landlord does not oilierwise elect to restore the Building, then Landlord shall give prompt notice to Tenant terminating this Lease, the effective date of
which termination shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the date of notice of such termination.

Upon such notice, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, in addition to any damages collected or due from Tenant for any period prior to such notice and all expenses which Landlord may have incurred with respect to the collection of such damages, such a sum as at the time of the giving of such notice represents the amount of the excess, if any, of the total rent and other benefits which would have accrued to Landlord under this Lease from the date of such notice for what would be the then unexpired Lease Term if the Lease terms had been fully complied with by Tenant over and above the then fair market cash rental value (in advance) of the Premises for the balance of the Lease Term, both discounted to present value using six percent (6%) as the discount rate.
(ii)For the purposes of this Article, if Landlord elects to require Tenant to pay damages in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the total rent shall be computed by assuming that Tenant's share of excess taxes, Tenant's
share of excess operating costs and Tenant's share of excess electrical costs would be, for the balance of the unexpired Term from the date of such notice, the amount thereof (if any) for the immediately preceding annual period payable by Tenant to Landlord.
(e) | Incase of any _Event of Default, re-entry, dispossession by sunnnary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (i) re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord's option be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the'balance of the Term of this Lease and may grant concessions, abatements or free rent to the extent that Landlord reasonably considers advisable or necessary to re-let the same and (ii) may make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable or necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid.

IfTenant timely gives Tenant's Rescission Notice, then Tenanf s Extension Exercise Notice shall be of no further force and effect. IfTenant timely shall have requested the Broker Determination, then the same shall constitute an agreement to extend the Term upon all of the same terms and conditions in this Lease, except the Annual Fixed Rent for such Extended Tenn shall be the Annual Market Rent as determined by the Broker Determination. If Tenant fails to timely give either a Tenant's Rescission Notice or a Broker Determination Request, Tenant shall be deemed
to have given a Tenant's Rescission Notice.
(C)Upon the giving of the Extension Exercise Notice by Tenant to Landlord exercising Tenant's applicable option to extend the Lease Term in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.20(B) above, and subject to Tenant's right to give a Rescission Notice as set forth in Section 8.20(B) above, then this Lease and the Lease Term hereof shall automatically be deemed extended, for the applicable Extended Term, without the necessity for the execution of any additional documents, except that Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into an instrument in writing setting forth the Annual Fixed Rent for the applicable Extended Term as determined in the relevant manner set forth in this Section 8.20; and in such event all references herein to the Lease Term or the Term of this Lease shall be construed as referring to the Term, as so extended, unless the context clearly otherwise requires, and except that there shall be no further option to extend the Lease Term beyond the Second Extended Term.

(D)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant delivers Tenant's Extension Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 2.1.2(D)(l 1) hereof, Tenant shall have irrevocably exercised the extension option in question on such delivery, and in that instance only the Extension Exercise Notice defined in Section 8.20 may be given prior to the date nineteen (19) months prior to the expiration of the then Term of the Lease; provided, however, that in such case Landlord shall not be obligated to quote the Annual Mm·ket Rent until fourteen (14) months prior to the commencement of the applicable

The FL-600P floor box is designed for conference roams, auditoriums, courtrooms, churches and all general meeeting space with carpeted floors over concrete. This floor box handles power, audio, video, tefecommunications
and data in one elegant and practical box.
The FL-600P is not only UL and CUL Listed but has also passed the latest UL test for scrub water. Because of FSR's unique engineering and manufacturing ability, FSR boxes passed for carpeted floors as we// as tile and wood!
The lift-off section of the cover allows full access to internal connector plates and stored cables, and the smaller hinged cable access door flips back to create the cable exit.
When the box is not in use, the box is completely closed
allowing unencumbered travel in the area with only the hand-mitered, elegant carpet edge visible. The low profile edging is 114" high and is available in brass or aluminum.
Inside the box are two angled brackets which handle xxxxx dard size plates -2 single, 1 triple, 1 six gang opening. All are isolated for maximum safety. The FL-600P is designed to handle the rigors of a floor environment and
still maintains flexibility and elegance.
Note: This box is not applicable for contact with grade (soil or gravel).
