(b) Upon Bankruptcy Court approval of this Amendment, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord any and all Rental amounts due and owing under the Lease as may be outstanding as of the date of such Bankruptcy Court approval; provided that Tenant and Landlord agree that no such Rental amounts are due and owing as of the date of execution of this Amendment (inasmuch as on such date Bankruptcy Court approval of this Amendment has not been obtained).
