In such event, Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such election. Tenant’s right to use the Ancillary Facilities shall remain subject to the rights of Landlord specified in this Section 1.6.2.
ARTICLE 2: LEASE TERM
2.1 Initial Term. The Initial Term of this Lease shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date, and shall terminate on the Lease Expiration Date unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, or unless the Initial Term is extended as provided in Section 2.2. Possession of the Premises shall be deemed to have been tendered and accepted upon Xxxxxx’s receipt of a possession notice from Landlord, provided physical possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Xxxxxx accepts physical possession of the Premises prior to receipt of such notice, the date Tenant accepts possession shall be deemed to be the possession date. If Tenant shall enter the Premises prior to the Lease Commencement Date for any reason including to commence operations in the Premises, then Tenant shall perform all duties and obligations imposed by this Lease, but excepting its obligation to pay Base Rent, the Tax Excess and the Expense Excess, all of which shall accrue from and after the Lease Commencement Date.
2.2 Renewal Options.
2.2.1 Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term for two (2) successive additional periods of five (5) years each (the “First Renewal Term” and “Second Renewal Term,” respectively, and each a “Renewal Term”, as exercised by the “First Renewal Option” and the “Second Renewal Option”) each commencing on the day following the expiration of the then effective Term, and ending on the day preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of the expiration of the then effective Term, if:
(a) Landlord receives Notice of exercise (“Renewal Notice”) (i) with respect to the First Renewal Option or Second Renewal Option, not less than twelve (12) full calendar months and not more than fifteen (15) full calendar months prior to the expiration of the then current Lease Term;
(b) An Event of Default has not occurred prior to the time that Tenant delivers its Renewal Notice or prior to the time Tenant delivers its Binding Notice (as defined below);
(c) No more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises is sublet at the time Tenant delivers its Renewal Notice or at the time Tenant delivers its Binding Notice;
(d) This Lease has not been assigned prior to the date Tenant delivers its Renewal Notice or prior to the date Tenant delivers its Binding Notice other than to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in Section 14.8); and
6
(e) With respect to the Second Renewal Option only, Xxxxxx has exercised the First Renewal Option.
2.2.2 Terms Applicable to Premises During the First Renewal Term and Second Renewal Term.
(a) The initial Base Rent rate per rentable square foot for the Premises during the First Renewal Term shall be an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Prevailing Market (hereinafter defined) rate per rentable square foot for the Premises and the initial Base Rent rate per rentable square foot for the Premises during the Second Renewal Term shall be an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Prevailing Market rate per rentable square foot for the Premises. Base Rent during the First Renewal Term and the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be) shall increase,if at all, in accordance with the increases assumed in the determination of Prevailing Market rate, and shall be payable in monthly installments in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 3 of this Lease.
(b) Tenant shall pay the Tax Excess and Expense Excess for the Premises during the First Renewal Term and the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be) in accordance with Article 4 of this Lease, and the manner and method in which Tenant reimburses Landlord the Tax Excess and Expense Excess and the Base Year, if any, applicable to such matter, shall be some of the factors considered in determining the Prevailing Market rate for the First Renewal Term and the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be).
2.2.3 Procedure for Determining Prevailing Market Rate for the First Renewal Term and the Second Renewal Term.
(a) Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s Renewal Notice with respect to the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be), Landlord shall advise Tenant of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Premises for the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be). Within fifteen(15) days thereafter, Tenant shall either (i) give Landlord final binding written Notice (“Binding Notice”) of Tenant’s exercise of the First Renewal Option or the Second Renewal Option (as the case may be), or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the Base Rent rate for the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be), provide Landlord with written Notice that Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination (the “Dispute Notice”). If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice or a Dispute Notice within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant’s First Renewal Option or Second Renewal Option (as the case may be) shall be null and void and of no further force and effect. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Binding Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Dispute Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith for up to ten (10) business days after Landlord receives Tenant’s Dispute Notice to attempt to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be). If Landlord and Tenant reach agreement within such ten (10) business day period, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a Binding Notice within such ten (10) business day period, and Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(b) If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate within such ten (10) business day period, Tenant, by written Notice to Landlord (the “Arbitration Notice”) within five (5) business days after the expiration of such ten( 10)
7
business day period, shall have the right to have the Prevailing Market rate determined in accordance with the following arbitration procedures. If Tenant fails to deliver the Arbitration Notice to Landlord within such five (5) business day period, Tenant’s First Renewal Option or the Second Renewal Option (as the case may be) shall be null and void and of no further force and effect. If Tenant delivers an Arbitration Notice to Landlord, Tenant will be deemed to have delivered to Landlord a Binding Notice ofTenant’s exercise of the First Renewal Option or the Second Renewal Option (as thecase may be), and once the Prevailing Market rate is determined, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.If Tenant provides Landlord with an Arbitration Notice, then within ten (10) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously submit to the other, in a sealed envelope, its good faith estimate of the Prevailing Market rate (“Estimate”) for the applicable Renewal Term. If the higher Estimate is less than or equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower Estimate, the Prevailing Market rate shall be the average of the two (2) Estimates. If the Prevailing Market rate is not resolved by the exchange of Estimates, Landlord and Tenant, within seven (7) days after the exchange of Estimates, shall each select an appraiser to determine which of the two (2) Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate for the applicable Renewal Term. Each appraiser so selected shall be certified as an MAI appraiser or as an ASA appraiser and shall have had at least seven (7) years experience as a real estate appraiser working in the Northwest Suburban Chicago, Illinois area, with working knowledge of current rental rates and practices. For purposes of this Lease, an “MAI” appraiser means an individual who holds an MAI designation conferred by, and is an independent member of, the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or its successor organization, or in the event there is no successor organization, the organization and designation most similar), and an “ASA” appraiser means an individual who holds the Senior Member designation conferred by, and is an independent member of, the American Society of Appraisers (or its successor organization, or, in the event there is no successor organization, the organization and designation most similar). Upon selection, Xxxxxxxx’s and Xxxxxx’s appraisers shall work together in good faith to agree upon which of the two (2) Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises for the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be). The Estimate chosen by such appraisers shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be). If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the seven (7) day period referred to above, the appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser.If the two (2) appraisers cannot agree upon which of the two (2) Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate within fifteen (15) days after their appointment, then, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, the two (2) appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the aforementioned criteria. Once the third appraiser has been selected, or as soon thereafter as practicable but in any case within fourteen (14) days of such selection, the third appraiser shall make his determination of which of the two (2) Estimates most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate and such Estimate shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be). If the third appraiser believes that expert advice would materially assist him, he may retain one or more qualified persons, to provide such expert advice. The parties shall share equally in the costs of the third appraiser and of any experts retained by the third appraiser. Any fees of any appraiser, counsel or experts engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the party retaining such appraiser, counsel or expert. In the event the Prevailing Market rate has not been determined by the commencement date of the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be), Tenant shall pay Base Rent upon the terms and conditions in effect for the Premises during the final month of the Initial Term, in the
8
case of the First Renewal Term, or during the final month of the First Renewal Term, in the case of the Second Renewal Term, until such time as the Prevailing Market rate has been determined for the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be). Upon such determination, the Base Rent for the Premises shall be retroactively adjusted to the commencement of the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term (as the case may be). If such adjustment results in an underpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment within thirty (30) days after the determination thereof. If such adjustment results in an overpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against the next installment of Base Rent due under this Lease and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent installments until the entire amount of such overpayment has been credited against Base Rent.
2.2.4 Renewal Amendment. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises the First Renewal Option or the Second Renewal Option, as the case may be, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Renewal Amendment”) to reflect the required changes in the Base Rent, Lease Term, Lease Expiration Date and other appropriate terms (if any) for the First Renewal Term or Second Renewal Term (as the case may be). The Renewal Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Binding Notice (or the determination of the Prevailing Market rate, if the parties arbitrate the determination of the Prevailing Market rate pursuant to Section 2.2.3). Tenant shall execute and return the Renewal Amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of receipt, but upon final determination of the Prevailing Market rate applicable during the First Renewal Term or the Second Renewal Term, as the case may be, an otherwise valid exercise of the First Renewal Option or the Second Renewal Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Renewal Amendment is executed.
2.2.5 Definition of Prevailing Market Rate. For purposes of the First Renewal Option, “Prevailing Market” shall mean the arms length fair market annual rental rate per rentable square foot under new leases or renewal leases and amendments, whichever is appropriate, entered into on or about the date on which the Prevailing Market is being determined for space comparable to the Premises in the Building and other similar office buildings located in Northwest suburban Chicago, Illinois. The determination of Prevailing Market shall take into account any material economic differences between the terms of this Lease and any comparison lease or amendment, such as rent abatements, construction costs and other concessions and the manner, if any, in which the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes, including but not limited to any base year. The determination of Prevailing Market shall also take into consideration any reasonably anticipated changes in the Prevailing Market from the time such Prevailing Market is being determined and the time such Prevailing Market will become effective under this Lease.
ARTICLE 3: BASE RENT
Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay, without prior notice or demand, to Landlord at Landlord’s address set forth herein, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, in currency of the United States of America, Base Rent and Additional Rent, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever. The Base Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 4 of the Summary in advance on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term. The Base Rent for the first full month of the Lease Term shall be paid at the time of Xxxxxx’s execution of this Lease. If the Lease Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of any Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses for the month shall be prorated based on the number of days in such calendar month. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated on the same basis. Tenant shall pay and be liable for all rental, sales and use taxes, if any, imposed upon or measured by rent under applicable Law. If no specific time period is given for payment of any item of Rent, such item of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days after demand by Landlord.
9
Landlord shall have the right to apply payments received from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, regardless of Tenant’s designation of such payments, to satisfy any obligations of Tenant hereunder, in such order and amounts as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect.
The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease. Acceptance of a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant to Landlord shall be considered a payment on account, and shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall in any way alter the length of the Lease Term or of Tenant’s right of possession hereunder, or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any notice given Tenant prior to the receipt of such monies, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of a suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may receive and collect any Rent due, and the payment of said Rent shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
ARTICLE 4: ADDITIONAL RENT
4.1 Additional Rent. In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease, commencing on the first day of the thirteenth (13th) full calendar month after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay, in accordance with Section 4.5 below, Tenant’s Share of (a) the Expense Excess (as defined in Section 4.5), and (b) the Tax Excess (as defined in Section 4.5). Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Base Year shall be appropriately prorated in order to determine Tenant’s Share of the Expense Excess and Tenant’s Share of the Tax Excess for any partial Expense Year. In no event shall the existence of or any decrease in Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses for any Expense Year below Operating Expenses for the Base Year or Tax Expenses for the Base Year, as the case may be, entitle Tenant to any decrease in Base Rent or any credit against sums due under this Lease. If Operating Expenses and/or Tax Expenses in any Expense Year decrease below the amount of Operating Expenses and/or Tax Expenses for the Base Year, Tenant’s Share of the Expense Excess and/or Tax Excess, as the case may be, for that Expense Year shall be Zero Dollars ($0.00). Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, any Additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord other than Tenant’s Share of (a) the Expense Excess (as defined in Section 4.5), and (b) the Tax Excess (as defined in Section 4.5) shall commence as of the Commencement Date.
4.2 Operating Expenses. “Operating Expenses” shall mean, all expenses, costs and amounts of every kind and nature incurred during any Expense Year because of or in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, replacement or operation of the Building and the Property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall specifically include any and all of the following: (a) the cost of supplying utilities, operating, repairing, maintaining, and renovating the utility, telephone, and all other systems and equipment and components thereof of the Building, and the cost of maintenance and service contracts in connection therewith and payments under any equipment rental agreements, unless the purchase of such equipment would constitute a capital expenditure under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”); (b) commercially reasonable premiums and deductibles paid by Landlord for insurance, including workers compensation, fire and extended coverage, earthquake, general liability, rental loss, elevator, boiler and other insurance customarily carried from time to time by owners of Comparable Buildings; (c) the cost of landscaping the Property or any portion thereof; (d) costs incurred in connection with the parking areas servicing the Property, except for the replacement of parking areas; (e) management fees, which shall not exceed three percent (3%) of gross revenues, the cost of equipping and maintaining a management office, accounting and bookkeeping

Landlord, by itself or through an affiliate, shall have the right to directly perform or provide any services under this Lease (including management services), provided that the cost of any such services shall not exceed the cost that would have been incurred had Landlord entered into an arms-length contract for such services with an unaffiliated entity of comparable skill and experience.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary, for purposes of this Lease, Operating Expenses shall not, however, include the following: (a) costs in connection with leasing space in the Building, including advertising, promotional, and marketing expenses, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, lease concessions and construction allowances; (b) any fines, penalties or costs resulting from the Landlord’s breach of this Lease; (c) interest, principal, points and fees on financing, debts or amortization on any current Mortgage or future Mortgage encumbering the Building or the Property; (d) the costs of any capital improvements except as set forth above; (e) expenses to the extent Landlord is reimbursed by a third party (excluding Operating Expense reimbursements by tenants), including without limitation replacement of any items covered by warranties, guarantees or service contracts; (f) cost of any item or service provided directly to a tenant for its exclusive benefit which is not available to Tenant or is available to Tenant only for an additional direct charge (in addition to Tenant’s payment of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses); (g) expenses for the defense of Landlord’s title to the Property; (h) rental on ground leases or other underlying leases affecting the Property; (i) costs associated with maintaining Landlord’s existence as a corporation or other legal entity including general partnership overhead not related to the management of the Building; (j) the cost of supplying a particular utility service to individual tenant spaces if Tenant is billed directly (other than through paying a share of Operating Expenses) for the cost of such utility service supplied to the Premises; (k) costs of painting or decorating (other than the Common Areas), the costs of alterations to the Premises or the premises of other tenants of the Building;(I) expenses, including rent, associated with maintaining a leasing or marketing office; (m) the costs of correcting latent defects and defects in the original construction of the Building; (n) costs for sculptures, paintings and other objects of art for the Building; (o) expenses in connection with repairs or other work occasioned by the exercise of the right of eminent domain to the extent Landlord receives an award therefor; (p) any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in commercial concessions operated by Landlord; (q) contributions to operating expense reserves; (r) bad debt loss or rent loss or reserves for bad debt loss or rent loss (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Landlord from including in Landlord’s Operating Expenses the cost of rent loss insurance); (s) depreciation of the Building and (t) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.6 of this Lease.
11
4.3 Tax Expenses. “Tax Expenses” shall mean all federal, state, county, or local governmental or municipal taxes, fees, charges or other impositions of every kind and nature, whether general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, levied, assessed or imposed against the Building and/or Property (including, without limitation, real estate taxes, general and special assessments (including, without limitation, assessments for special improvement districts and building improvements districts or any tax on the development of real estate or the construction or improvement of buildings or premises thereunder), transit taxes, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent or the functional equivalent of same), including gross receipts, service tax, value added tax or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent or services provided herein, and unless required to be paid by Tenant, taxes and assessments levied in substitution or supplementation in whole or in part of any such taxes and assessments and the Property’s share of any real estate taxes and assessments under any reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or similar agreement as to the Property, personal property taxes imposed upon the fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and equipment, appurtenances, furniture and other personal property used in connection with the Building and/or Property, or any portion thereof), which shall be paid or accrued by Landlord in connection with the ownership, leasing and operation of the Property, or any portion thereof; any tax on the rent, right to rent or other income from the Property, or any portion thereof, or as against the business of leasing the Property, or any portion thereof; any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any business or gross income tax or excise tax with respect to the receipt of such rent, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof; any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction; the amount of any payments or other consideration (in cash or otherwise) that Landlord is required to make to any taxing authority in connection with any tax abatement agreements benefiting the Property; and any reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable consultants’ and attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with seeking to protest, reduce or minimize Tax Expenses (including costs incurred by Landlord for compliance, review and appeal of tax liabilities), regardless of whether any reduction or minimization is obtained.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.3, there shall be excluded from Tax Expenses (a) all excess profits taxes, gross receipts taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, transfer taxes, estate taxes and federal and state income taxes, both personal and corporate in nature, (b) any items included as Operating Expenses, and (c) any items paid by Tenant under Section 4.6 of this Lease.
If an assessment is payable in installments, Tax Expenses for the year shall include the amount of the installment and any interest due and payable during that year. For all other real estate taxes, Tax Expenses for that year shall, at Xxxxxxxx’s election, include either the amount accrued, assessed or otherwise imposed for the year or the amount due and payable for that year, provided that Xxxxxxxx’s election shall be applied consistently throughout the Term.
4.4 Allocation of Expenses. Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses shall be determined for the Property as a whole, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying Tenant’s Share of the Expense Excess and Tenant’s Share of the Tax Excess. If Landlord incurs Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses for the Building or Property, together with one or more other buildings or properties whether pursuant to a reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or otherwise, the shared Operating Expenses or Tax Expenses shall be allocated between the Building or Property and the other buildings or properties in accordance with the applicable agreement and otherwise in an equitable manner as reasonably determined by Landlord. If the Building is not at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied during any calendar year or if Landlord is not supplying services to at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the total Rentable Square Feet of the Building at any time during a calendar year, Operating Expenses that vary with occupancy shall, at Landlord’s option, be determined as if the Building had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Square Feet of the Building during that calendar year. If Tenant pays for its Share of Operating Expenses based on increases over a Base Year and Operating Expenses for a calendar year are determined as provided in the prior sentence, Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall also be determined as if the
12
Building had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and Landlord had been supplying services toninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Square Feet of the Building. The extrapolation of Operating Expenses under this Section shall be performed by appropriately adjusting only the cost of those components of Operating Expenses that are impacted by changes in the occupancy of the Building. In addition to the foregoing, if an expense is incurred or a service is provided that applies to or benefits only to the portion of the Building where the Premises is located, Landlord, at its option, in its sole discretion, may create a separate Operating Expense pool with respect to the Operating Expenses resulting therefrom and Tenant’s Share shall be equitably increased for purposes only of the payment of any such Operating Expenses based on the total Rentable Square Footage of the premises of the tenants benefitting from such Operating Expenses.
4.5 Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent. With respect to Operating Expenses, if Operating Expenses for an Expense Year exceed the Operating Expenses applicable to the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.5.1 below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of the excess (the “Expense Excess”). With respect to Tax Expenses, if Tax Expenses for an Expense Year exceed the amount of Tax Expenses applicable to the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.5.1 below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of the excess (the “Tax Excess”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Xxxxxx’s Share of the Expense Excess excluding all costs associated with insurance, security, snow removal and utilities attributable or applicable to the Property [collectively, the “Uncapped Costs”]) for calendar year 2014 shall be capped at an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of Tenant’s Share of the Expense Excess (excluding the Uncapped Costs) payable for calendar year 2013 (annualized, if Xxxxxx’s Share of the Expense Excess is not payable pursuant to this Lease for any portion of calendar year 2013) (such amount shall constitute the “Cap Amount” for calendar year 2014). For each calendar year or partial calendar thereafter, Xxxxxx’s Share of the Expense Excess (excluding the Uncapped Costs) shall be capped at an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the Cap Amount for the immediately preceding calendar year (which shall constitute the “Cap Amount” for such calendar year). Tenant shall pay the actual amount of Xxxxxx’xXxxxx of the Expense Excess, to the extent the same are attributable to the Uncapped Costs, throughout the Lease Term and said Uncapped Costs shall not be subject to the cap described in this grammatical paragraph. For purposes of this Section 4.5, in the event any tenant of the Property does not make any contributions specifically apportioned between Uncapped Costs and the balance of Landlord’s Operating Expenses but only contributes generally to Landlord’s Operating Expenses, then such tenant shall be deemed to contribute to Uncapped Costs in an amount determined by Landlord in its reasonable business judgment, and the balance of such tenant’s contribution to Landlord’s Operating Expenses shall be deemed to be a contribution towards the capped portion of Landlord’s Operating Expenses.
4.5.1 Statement of Estimated Expenses. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a good faith estimate of the Expense Excess and of the Tax Excess for each Expense Year during the Lease Term. On or before the first day of each month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant’s Share of Landlord’s estimate of the Expense Excess and one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant’s Share of Landlord’s estimate of the Tax Excess. If Landlord determines that its good faith estimate of the Expense Excess or of the Tax Excess was incorrect by a material amount, Landlord may provide Tenant with a revised estimate, but not more than two (2) times in any calendar year. After its receipt of the revised estimate, Xxxxxx’s monthly payments shall be based upon the revised estimate. If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the Expense Excess or of the Tax Excess by January 1 of an Expense Year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments based on the previous year’s estimate(s) until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate. Upon delivery of the new estimate, an adjustment shall be made for any month for which Tenant paid monthly installments based on the previous year’s estimate(s). Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within thirty (30) days after receipt of the new estimate. Any overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days or credited against the next due future installment(s) of Additional Rent.
13
4.5.2 Statement of Actual Expenses and Payment by Xxxxxx. As soon as is practical following the end of each applicable Expense Year (but in no event later than one hundred eighty [180] days after the end of each applicable Expense Year), Landlord will deliver to Tenant a statement (the “Statement”), which shall state the actual Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of the Expense Excess, if any, and the Tax Excess, if any. If the estimated Expense Excess and/or estimated Tax Excess for the prior Expense Year is more than the actual Expense Excess and/or actual Tax Excess, as the case may be, for the prior Expense Year, Landlord shall apply any resulting overpayment by Tenant against Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Lease Term expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of any Rent due. If the estimated Expense Excess and/or estimated Tax Excess for the prior Expense Year is less than the actual Expense Excess and/or actual Tax Excess, as the case may be, for such prior Expense Year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Statement, any resulting underpayment for the prior Expense Year. Landlord’s failure to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prevent Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect Tenant’s Share of the Tax Excess and Tenant’s Share of the Expense Excess under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of the Expense Excess and Tenant’s Share of the Tax Excess for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, if Tenant has underpaid Tenant’s Share of the Expense Excess and/or the Tenant’s Share of the Tax Excess, Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Xxxxxx’s receipt of such final determination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be required to pay (a) Tenant’s Share of the Expense Excess if Landlord fails to furnish Tenant the Statement within two (2) years after the date any such Expense was incurred or (b) Tenant’s Share of the Tax Excess if Landlord fails to furnish Tenant the Statement within two (2) years after Landlord receives the tax bill for such Tax Expense.
4.5.3 Determination of Base Year for Taxes and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) if Xxxxxxxx’s Operating Expenses for calendar year 2012are less than Landlord’s Operating Expenses for calendar year 2011, then for purposes of determining the Expense Excess, the Base Year Operating Expenses shall be deemed to mean the average Operating Expenses for calendar years 2011 and 2012 and (b) if Taxes for the calendar year 2012 are less than $4.00 per square foot, then for purposes of determining the Tax Excess, the Base Year Taxes shall mean $4.00 per square foot.
4.6 Taxes and Other Charges for Which Tenant is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay before delinquency taxes or other impositions levied or assessed against Tenant’s Property and other personal property of any sublessee, assignee or invitee located in or about the Premises, Xxxxxx’s interest in this Lease, the Alterations, Xxxxxx’s right to occupy the Premises, and Xxxxxx’s investment or business operation in the Premises whether levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant. If any taxing authority requires any such taxes or other impositions for which Tenant is responsible (other than the Taxes included in the calculation of the Tax Expenses) be paid by Tenant but collected by Landlord for and on behalf of such taxing authority, or if any such taxes or other impositions are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed Tenant’s Property and/or Alterations, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the taxes or other impositions so levied or assessed against Landlord or the proportion of such taxes or impositions resulting from such increase in the assessment, as the case may be, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written notice of the same.
4.7 Landlord’s Books and Records. Tenant may, within forty-five (45) days after receiving Landlord’s Statement of Operating Expenses, give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of the Operating Expenses for that Expense Year. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the office of the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other
14
location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If Xxxxxx retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a licensed CPA firm, who shall not be retained or compensated on a contingency basis, be affiliated with or be a competitor of Landlord, or have at anytime been an employee or, or an independent contractor for Landlord. Unless it is determined that Operating Expenses for that Expense Year are less than reported by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall be responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit, Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit. Within thirty (30) days after the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s Statement of Operating Expenses for that Expense Year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the thirty (30) day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the thirty (30) day period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Xxxxxxxx’s Statement of Operating Expenses and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Operating Expenses for that Expense Year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant’s Objection Notice. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Operating Expenses for the Expense Year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by Xxxxxx. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Operating Expenses for the Expense Year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within thirty (30) days. The records obtained by Xxxxxx and the results of such review shall be confidential. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Xxxxxxxx’s records or to dispute any Statement of Operating Expenses unless Xxxxxx has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due, or if an Event of Default exists. Subject to Xxxxxx’s right to review as provided in this Section 4.7, Landlord’s Statement of Operating Expenses and Landlord’s books and records evidencing Operating Expenses shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Upon the written request of Xxxxxx, Landlord shall furnish a copy of the most recent tax bill for the Property.
4.8 Tenant’s Electricity Cost. Electricity used by Tenant in the Premises shall be paid by Tenant either (a) by a separate charge payable by Tenant to Landlord (“Tenant’s Electricity Cost”) within thirty (30) days after billing by Landlord as Additional Rent (which charge may be based on Landlord’sgood faith estimate of its costs for such electricity or may be Tenant’s pro rata share of the cost of electricity calculated on the basis of the square footage of the tenant space using such service or on the basis of the square footage of the tenant space using the particular electric meter serving the Premises) or (b) by separate charge billed by the applicable utility company and payable directly by Tenant. If electricity to the Premises is not separately or sub-metered, Landlord shall install meters approved by the applicable utility company at the Premises to account for Tenant’s use of electricity in the Premises (including, without limitation, electricity consumed in operating supplemental power back-up or heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning units or systems) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Electrical service to the Premises may be furnished by one or more companies providing electrical generation, transmission and distribution services, and the cost of electricity may consist of several different components or separate charges for such services, such as generation, distribution and stranded cost charges. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to select any company providing electrical service to the Premises, to aggregate the electrical service for the Property and Premises with other buildings, to purchase electricity through a broker and/or buyers group and to change the providers and manner of purchasing electricity. Landlord shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee (if permitted by applicable Law) for the selection of utility companies and the negotiation and administration of contracts for electricity, provided that the amount of such fee shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of any savings obtained by Landlord. Tenant’suse of electrical service shall not exceed, either in voltage, rated capacity, use beyond Building Hours or overall load, that which Landlord reasonably deems to be standard for the Building. If Tenant requests permission to consume excess electrical service, Landlord may refuse to consent or may condition consent upon conditions that Landlord reasonably elects (including, without limitation, the installation of utility service upgrades, meters, submeters, air handlers or cooling units), and the additional usage (to the extent permitted by Law), installation and maintenance costs shall be paid by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord will provide Tenant a maximum of 5 xxxxx of receptacle power per foot of the Premises and 1 watt of lighting power per foot of the Premises through
15
3N-TMC-1 for the Premises located on the 3rd floor and through 1 N-HDP – 3 for the Premises located on the 1st floor. Landlord will permit Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to add additional power which cannot exceed the preliminary engineered loads calculated by Xxxxxx’s engineering firm equal to 240 amps at 480 volts of power from 1N-HDP-3 for the 3rd floor and 70 amps at 480 volts of power from 1N-HDP-1 for the 1st floor and the same shall not be deemed to exceed the overall load deemed standard for the Building. The exercise of Landlord’s rights under this Section 4.8 to change the utility provider or manner of purchasing electricity shall not have a material and adverse affect on Tenant’s ability to operate in the Premises.
ARTICLE 5: USE OF PREMISES
5.1 Permitted Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use set forth in Section 7 of the Summary and Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises or the Property to be used for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.

This Lease and Xxxxxx’s rights hereunder are subject and subordinate in all respects to the Superior Agreements now or hereafter affecting the Property and Tenant shall comply and shall also cause its agents, contractors, subcontractors, employees, invitees and subtenants to comply with the Superior Agreements now or hereafter affecting the Property.
5.3 Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply and shall also cause its agents, contractors, subcontractors, employees, invitees, and subtenants to comply with the rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit B, and such other reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time.

5.4 Exclusive.
5.4.1 To the extent Landlord is not prohibited by any existing or future Law, and provided (a) an Event of Default has not occurred and (b) Tenant is the entity named on page 1 of this Lease or a Permitted Transferee (as defined in Section 14.8), provided such Transferee operates the same business in the Premises that Tenant was operating, and (c) Tenant has not sublet more than 20% of the Premises, then, as of the date hereof, Landlord covenants not to enter into a lease or other agreement granting possession of space at the Building (collectively, an “Occupancy Agreement”) with a Competitor (as hereinafter defined) for a term scheduled to commence during the Initial Term. For purposes of this Section 5.4, a “Competitor” shall mean any of the following three (3) entities: (1) Ubiquiti, (2) MikroTik and (3) with respect to a lease for 50,000 square feet of space or less only, Northrop Grumman, but only if Northrop Grumman is operating for the same business that Tenant is then operating for at the Premises, provided that any such entity is not a Pre-Existing Tenant (as hereinafter defined).

5.4.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Section 5.4 shall be inapplicable to (a) any tenant who has been permitted to assume an Occupancy Agreement or otherwise operate its business in the Building, based upon or as a result of a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar action, or (b) any tenant who has been permitted to operate as a result of an action or order by a court of competent jurisdiction.
5.4.3 Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, which may be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against Landlord arising, directly or indirectly, out of or in connection with the terms of this Section 5.4. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of the foregoing, Tenant shall, at Xxxxxx’s sole cost and expense, resist or defend such action or proceeding with counsel approved by Landlord
5.5 Satellite/Antenna Equipment.
5.5.1 Roof Equipment.
(a) Provided an Event of Default has not occurred and further provided that Landlord’s structural engineer has reviewed and approved the installation of the Roof Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant shall have the right, at any time during the Lease Term, to install, construct, operate, and maintain not more than one (1) 4’ in diameter satellite dish together with any reasonable equipment, cabling and wiring necessary to operate the dish or antenna (collectively, the “Roof Equipment”) on the roof of the Building free of charge during the Term and any subsequent Renewal Terms and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.5.1. The Roof Equipment shall be (a) for Tenant’s use only for data and telecommunications support in the Premises, (b) not be used by any other party, (c) installed, operated and maintained in accordance with all applicable Laws and Tenant shall not charge or receive any fees or other consideration in connection with its use. If Tenant desires to install the Roof Equipment on the roof of the Building, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice thereof (the “Roof Equipment Request”) and shall provide Landlord such information including without limitation the method of installation of, desired location of, and plans and specifications for, the Roof Equipment as Landlord shall reasonably require to approve or disapprove the Roof Equipment Request (the “Roof Equipment Plans”). Tenant shall obtain the written approval of Landlord of the Roof Equipment Plans prior to the installation of same on the roof of the Building, which approval shall be in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any changes to the Roof Equipment Plans required by Landlord shall be promptly made by Tenant and resubmitted to Landlord for approval. Tenant may only install the Roof Equipment which is reflected in the Roof Equipment Plans approved by Landlord in writing and in the manner set forth in the Roof Equipment Plans.
(b) If Tenant receives all of the required Landlord approvals for the installation of the Roof Equipment, such installation shall be performed by a contractor and roofing crew approved by Landlord, in its sole discretion, and such installation shall in no event void or diminish in any respect Landlord’s warranty on the roof of the Building. Tenant shall pay all costs related to the installation, operation, and maintenance of such Roof Equipment. Neither Tenant nor any of the Tenant Related Parties shall go on the roof of the Building without the express, written consent of Landlord in each instance,
17
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The location, installation, use, and maintenance of such Roof Equipment shall at all times conform to all applicable zoning and other applicable Laws in effect from time to time as well as all architectural standards established by Landlord from time to time for the Building. Prior to the installation of the Roof Equipment, Tenant shall obtain all necessary permits and licenses from the City of Rolling Meadows, Illinois and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Building, the Property, or over the Roof Equipment and its use. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to support Tenant in securing any required municipal approvals provided that “reasonable efforts” of Landlord shall not include payment of money or incurring any liability. The Roof Equipment shall be located on that certain portion of the roof of the Building identified on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Roof Equipment Area”) or as Landlord may otherwise from time to time designate in writing in its sole discretion, and the Roof Equipment shall be located as far away from the perimeter of the roof so as not to be visible from street level and Tenant shall screen the Roof Equipment if required to do so by Landlord, in its sole discretion. Landlord shall approve or disapprove such location and screening at the time Landlord approves the Roof Equipment Plans. After the initial installation of the Roof Equipment, from time to time Landlord may in its reasonable judgment, cause Tenant to relocate the Roof Equipment, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to another portion of the roof of the Building.
5.5.2 The Exterior Equipment.
(a) Provided an Event of Default has not occurred and Tenant is the entity named on page 1 of this Lease or a Permitted Transferee, Tenant shall have the right, at any time during the Lease Term, to install, construct, operate, and maintain either (i) one trailer hitched collapsible antenna (the “Truck Antenna”) or (ii) a stationary, fixed antenna on the ground (the “Ground Antenna”) (collectively, the “Exterior Equipment”) in the area shown on Exhibit A-1 (the “Exterior Equipment Area”). The Exterior Equipment shall be (a) for Tenant’s use only for data and telecommunications support in the Premises, (b) not be used by any other party, (c) installed, operated and maintained in accordance with all applicable Laws and Tenant shall not charge or receive any fees or other consideration in connection with its use. If Tenant desires to install the Exterior Equipment in the Exterior Equipment Area, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice thereof (the “Exterior Equipment Request”) and if Tenant intends to install a Ground Antenna, Tenant shall provide Landlord such information including without limitation, the method of installation of, and plans and specifications for, the Ground Antenna as Landlord shall require to approve or disapprove the Exterior Equipment Request (the “Ground Antenna Plans”). If Tenant installs either the Truck Antenna or the Ground Antenna and such antenna will need to be connected to the Building for electricity, then Tenant shall submit detailed plans regarding the power needs and method of connection to the Building (the “Electrical Plans”) together with Tenant’s Exterior Equipment Request. If Tenant desires to connect to the Buildings power, Landlord may elect to require Tenant to install a sub-meter so that Landlord can bill Tenant directly for the electricity serving Tenant’s Exterior Equipment. Tenant shall obtain the written approval of Landlord of the Ground Antenna Plans and/or the Electrical Plans prior to the installation of the Exterior Equipment Area, which approval shall be in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any changes to the Ground Antenna Plans or Electrical Plans required by Landlord shall be promptly made by Tenant and resubmitted to Landlord for approval. Tenant may only install the Ground Antenna which is reflected in the Ground Antenna Plans approved by Landlord in writing and in the manner set forth in the Ground Antenna Plans. Tenant may only connect to the Building electricity in the manner shows on the Electrical Plans approved by Landlord. If Tenant elects to initially install the Truck Antenna and wants to later install the Ground Antenna, Tenant shall notify Landlord of
18
such request and comply with the provisions of this Section 5.5.2. If Tenant installs the Truck Antenna in the Exterior Equipment Area, or if the Ground Antenna is installed in the Exterior Equipment Area and is collapsible, then at least one (1) business day prior to raising either such antenna, Tenant shall notify Landlord that Tenant is raising such antenna and such notice shall include the duration for which such antenna will be raised. In addition, in connection with Xxxxxxxx’s leasing efforts at the Building, Xxxxxx will lower the antenna upon request by Landlord, with reasonable notice, if Landlord reasonably determines that the same is necessary during a tour or other showing of the Building or Property.
(b) If Tenant receives all required Landlord approvals for the installation of the Exterior Equipment, such installation shall be performed by a contractor approved by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion. Tenant shall pay all costs related to the installation, operation, and maintenance of such Exterior Equipment, including, without limitation performing all maintenance and repair of any damage to the Exterior Equipment Area and other Common Areas caused by Tenant’s use or installation of the Exterior Equipment. Prior to the installation of the Exterior Equipment, Tenant shall obtain all necessary permits and licenses from the City of Rolling Meadows, Illinois and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Building, the Property, or over the Exterior Equipment and its use. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to support Tenant in securing any required municipal approvals provided that “reasonable efforts” of Landlord shall not include payment of money or incurring any liability. Tenant shall screen the Exterior Equipment pursuant to clause (c) below. After the initial installation of the Exterior Equipment, from time to time Landlord may in its reasonable judgment, cause Tenant to relocate the Truck Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, or the Ground Antenna, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to another portion of the parking lot serving the Building.
(c) When the Truck Antenna is not raised, the Truck Antenna shall be secured by an industrial strength tarp that is at all times locked. The color of the tarp shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval. At all times when the Truck Antenna is raised and the Truck Antenna is not connected to the Building power, an employee of Tenant shall always be stationed with the Truck Antenna. If the Truck Antenna is connected to the Building power, then Tenant shall provide such security measures as are determined necessary by Landlord while such Truck Antenna is raised. Such security measures may require an employee of Tenant to be stationed with the Truck Antenna at all times when it is raised if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on other security measures. If at any time the Truck Antenna is not secured by a tarp or if an employee is not present when the Truck Antenna is raised or if Tenant does not meet such other security measures agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, then the same shall be an Event of Default under this Lease, except for the first time each calendar year that the Truck Antenna is not covered by the tarp or that an employee of Tenant is not present when the Truck Antenna is raised or that such other security measures are not met, no Event of Default shall have occurred if Tenant cures such failure within twenty-four (24) hours.
(d) If Tenant installs the Ground Antenna, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provide such security as required by Landlord to prevent access to such Ground Antenna by anyone other than Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, install such screening of the Ground Antenna as required by Landlord.
5.5.3 Landlord makes no representation and shall have no obligation with respect to the suitability of the portion of the roof approved by Landlord for the installation and use of the Roof Equipment or the portion of the property identified as the Exterior Equipment Area. All of the terms and
19
conditions of this Lease shall be applicable to the Roof Equipment and the Exterior Equipment and Tenant shall pay all utility charges applicable to the Roof Equipment and Exterior Equipment, but the area of the roof containing the Roof Equipment and the Exterior Equipment Area shall not be considered part of the Premises for the purposes of calculating Base Rent, Tax Excess, Expense Excess, or any other charges payable under this Lease and determined on a per square foot basis.
5.5.4 Tenant agrees that: (i) it shall cooperate with the owners and users of other communications and satellite equipment installed in or on the Building and/or the roof of the Building; (ii) the installation and operation of the Roof Equipment and the Exterior Equipment shall not interfere with the operation or functioning of other communications or satellite equipment installed in or on the Building and/or the roof of the Building prior to the installation of the Roof Equipment or Exterior Equipment; (iii) Tenant shall not alter, redirect, or change the method of operation of the Roof Equipment or Exterior Equipment if such alteration, redirection, or change would interfere with the operation or functioning of other communications or satellite equipment in or on the Building at the time of such alteration, redirection, or change; and (iv) if any interference described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above occurs, Tenant shall eliminate the cause thereof at Tenant’s sole expense.
5.5.5 Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Related Parties harmless against any and all claims, demands, liability, costs, and expenses of any and every kind, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or connected in any way with the installation, use, operation, or maintenance of the Roof Equipment or Exterior Equipment, including, without limitation, claims for interference. The Roof Equipment and Exterior Equipment shall be deemed a Required Removable for purposes of this Lease and on or prior to the Lease Expiration Date, Tenant shall remove the Roof Equipment and the Exterior Equipment and repair all damage caused by such removal, and restore the roof of the Building and the Exterior Equipment Area to the condition in which it existed immediately prior to the installation of the Roof Equipment or Exterior Equipment, as the case may be.
ARTICLE 6: SERVICES AND UTILITIES
6.1 Standard Tenant Services. Landlord shall maintain and operate the Building in a manner consistent with other Comparable Buildings, and shall keep the Building Structure and Building Systems in good order, condition and repair.
During the Lease Term, Landlord shall provide the following services:
6.1.1 Subject to limitations imposed by all applicable Laws, during Building Hours, Landlord shall provide heating and air conditioning in season (“HVAC”) to the Premises. Tenant, upon such advance notice as is reasonably required by Landlord, shall have the right to receive HVAC service during hours other than Building Hours. Tenant shall pay Landlord the standard charge for the additional service as reasonably determined by Landlord from time to time, which is currently $75 per hour. The standard charge for after hours HVAC shall be subject to reasonable increases from time to time, upon prior written notice to Tenant. If any lights, machines, equipment or methods of operation are used by Tenant in the Premises which materially affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system of the Building or generate substantially more heat in the Premises than would be generated by lighting standard to the Building and normal tenant use, Landlord shall, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, have the right to require Tenant to install any supplemental air-conditioning units or other machinery and equipment which Landlord deems necessary to restore the temperature balance in any affected part of the Building. The reasonable cost thereof, including any additional cost of operations and maintenance occasioned thereby, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Any such supplemental air-conditioning units or other machinery and equipment shall be maintained, repaired and replaced by Tenant, at its sole cost and expense (or, at Landlord’s option, by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense).
20
6.1.2 Landlord shall provide city water from the regular Building outlets for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes in the Common Areas within the Building.
6.1.3 On weekdays during the Lease Term (exclusive of Holidays), Landlord shall provide janitorial services to the Premises and window washing services in a manner consistent with Comparable Buildings.

6.3 Interruption of Use. Tenant agrees that the Landlord Related Parties shall not be liable to Tenant for damages or otherwise, for failure to furnish, interruption, termination or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services) or utility, or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, due to the application of Laws, the failure of any equipment, the performance of repairs, improvements or alterations, or caused by any dangerous condition, emergency, accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of any of the Tenant Related Parties or other parties, or by any other cause (collectively, a “Service Failure”); and such failures shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, give rise to an abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury or damage to, property or for injury to, or interference with, Xxxxxx’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities as set forth in this Article 6. Landlord may comply with voluntary controls or guidelines promulgated by any governmental entity relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light or electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions without creating any liability of Landlord to Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Premises, or a material portion of the Premises, are made untenantable for a period in excess of three (3) consecutive business days as a result of a Service Failure that is caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of the Expense Excess and Tax Excess payable hereunder during the period beginning on the 4th consecutive Business Day after the Service Failure and ending on the day the service has been restored. If the entire Premises have not been rendered untenantable by the Service Failure, the amount of abatement shall be equitably prorated.
ARTICLE 7: REPAIRS
7.1 Landlord’s Obligations. Landlord shall maintain, repair and replace as necessary (a) the Building Structure, (b) Common Areas, (c) Building Systems, and (d) exterior windows of the Building, and the cost of such maintenance and repair shall be included in Operating Expenses to the extent set

Cleaning of Tenant’s carpet shall be performed by Landlord upon Xxxxxx’s request and, at Landlord’s option, be paid for by Tenant either (a) by a separate charge payable by Tenant to Landlord with thirty (30) days after billing by Landlord as Additional Rent, or (b) by separate charge billed by Landlord’s carpet cleaner and payable directly by Xxxxxx. Landlord shall undertake reasonable efforts to commence all maintenance, repairs and replacements pursuant to this Section 7.1 promptly once Landlord has actual knowledge of the need for such maintenance, repairs and replacements; provided, however, that in cases of Emergency, Landlord shall perform any maintenance, repairs and replacements as soon as reasonably practicable once it has actual knowledge of the need for such maintenance, repairs and replacements.
7.2 Tenant’s Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be required to repair (or Landlord may elect to repair at Tenant’s expense) any damage to the Building Structure or the Building Systems or any part of the Building that Landlord is required to repair and maintain due to the acts and omissions, or breach of this Lease by any of the Tenant Related Parties, including Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises for other than its Permitted Use.

All work shall be performed in accordance with the rules and procedures described in Section 8.2 below. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to perform any of Landlord’s obligations to repair under this Lease and off-set the Rent as may be provided under applicable Laws.
ARTICLE 8: ALTERATIONS
8.1 Landlord’s Consent to Alterations. Except for any Minor Alterations, Tenant may not make any Alterations without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than twenty (20) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord. It shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which materially or adversely affects the Building Structure, Building Systems or exterior appearance of the Building. Landlord’s approval of an Alteration (or plans and specifications therefor) shall not be a representation by Landlord that the Alteration complies with applicable Laws or will be structurally sound or adequate for Tenant’s use, and Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring the same. Landlord may designate reasonable rules, regulations, procedures and conditions of approval for any Alterations by Tenant, including without limitation a requirement that Tenant obtain payment and/or completion bonds and that Tenant obtain “builder’s risk” insurance for any Alterations. Tenant shall be required to use (at Tenant’s sole cost) Landlord’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractor(s) to perform all design services and review of all Alterations of Tenant which involve the Building Systems.

8.2 Manner of Construction. Prior to starting any work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with plans and specifications reasonably acceptable to Landlord; names of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord (provided that Landlord may designate specific contractors with respect to Building Systems); copies of contracts; necessary permits and approvals; evidence of contractor’s and subcontractor’s insurance in amounts reasonably required by Landlord; and any security for performance that is reasonably required by Landlord. Changes to the plans and specifications must also be submitted to Landlord for its approval. Tenant shall utilize only competent contractors, subcontractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen reasonably approved by Landlord for the construction of any Alterations, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform such repairs (a) at Tenant’s sole cost; (b) in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord, the terms of this Lease, all applicable Laws and Landlord’s construction rules and regulations; (c) without interference with the operation of Landlord or other occupants of the Building; and (d) in a good and workmanlike manner, using quality materials and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the City of Rolling Xxxxxxx.

In the event Tenant must perform any Alterations in another tenant’s premises or in the event Tenant must perform any Alterations that require access to another tenant’s premises, then Landlord shall, or, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall, in either case at Tenant’s expense, either perform such Alterations in such other tenant’s premises or access such other tenant’s premises, as necessary, to perform such Alterations and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent, upon demand, for such expense. Tenant shall use good faith efforts to avoid any action which would cause any Labor Dispute.

8.3 Payment for Alterations. Tenant shall comply with all applicable Laws relating to final lien releases and waivers in connection with Xxxxxx’s payment for work to contractors. Whether or not Tenant orders any work directly from Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent, upon demand, for Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Alterations. In addition, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee for Landlord’s oversight and coordination of any Alterations equal to three percent (3%) of the cost of the Alterations.
8.4 Landlord’s Property. All Alterations, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances other than Tenant’s Property which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be deemed the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises in good order, condition and repair upon the expiration of this Lease, subject to Landlord’s right to require Tenant to remove the Required Removables as provided in Section 15.

Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable Laws or as required by another provision in this Lease) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by settling the claim or by bonding or insuring over the lien within fifteen (15) days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may, in addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder, and without any additional notice to Tenant or opportunity for Tenant to cure, bond, insure over or discharge such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof, and Tenant shall repay Landlord such amounts as Additional Rent within fifteen (15) days after Xxxxxxxx’s written demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Xxxxxx provides a title indemnity or bond reasonably acceptable to Landlord and any mortgagee or other alternative security protecting Landlord and Mortgagee, then Tenant may diligently, in good faith contest such lien. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the Property, Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of Law or express or implied contract.

Landlord may exercise its right to terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing within ninety (90) days after (i) the settlement of the loss resulting from the casualty between Landlord and Xxxxxxxx’s insurers and (ii) the date Landlord determines the loss is uninsured. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, (A) subject to Landlord’s ability to obtain the necessary permits, Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to repair and restore the Premises (excluding Alterations and Tenant’s Property); provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be required to spend more than the insurance proceeds received by Landlord which is allocable to the Premises, and (B) Tenant shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to repair and restore the Premises (including Alterations and Tenant’s Property) to a substantially similar condition as existed prior to the casualty, and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease.

If such damage is caused by Tenant or any Tenant Related Party, such abatement shall be limited to the amount of the proceeds of rental value insurance actually received by Landlord. Except for abatement of Base Rent and Additional Rent, if any, Tenant shall have no Claim against Landlord for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration.

12.3 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives any and all Claims Tenant may now or hereafter have based upon any inconvenience, interruption of Tenant’s business or any other loss or Claim which maybe suffered or incurred as a result of the presence of Hazardous Materials within the Premises or the removal or abatement of the same.
ARTICLE 13: CONDEMNATION
If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public authority, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (collectively, “condemnation”), either party may terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs (the “effective date of the condemnation”) by giving notice to the other party of such election within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such condemnation. Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a condemnation of any portion of the Building or Property which would leave the remainder of the Building unsuitable for use as an office building in a manner comparable to the Building’s use prior to the condemnation. In order to exercise its right to terminate this Lease, Landlord must provide written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord first receives notice of the condemnation. Any such termination shall be effective as of the effective date of the condemnation. If neither Landlord nor Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining. In addition, Rent for any portion of the Premises condemned shall be abated during the unexpired Lease Term effective as of the effective date of the condemnation. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the sole property of Landlord, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages, any right to receive compensation or proceeds being expressly waived by Tenant. However, Tenant shall be entitled
28
to file a separate claim for loss of or damage to Tenant’s Property, the unamortized book value or cost (whichever is less) of the Alterations made to the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and relocation costs, provided the filing of such claim by Xxxxxx does not adversely affect or diminish the award which would otherwise be received by Landlord. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation and as permitted by applicable Law, Landlord shall to the extent feasible restore the remaining portion of the Premises a complete unit, provided Landlord shall not be required to expend more on such restoration than an amount equal to the net proceeds of the condemnation award actually received and retained by Landlord which is allocable to the Premises. Tenant shall pay any amount in excess of such proceeds required to complete such repair.
Landlord and Tenant waive the provisions of any applicable Laws relating to termination of leases in the event of condemnation, and agree that the rights and obligations of the parties in such event shall be governed by the terms of this Lease.
ARTICLE 14: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
14.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord (except as provided in Section 14.8 below) Transfer this Lease or any interest hereunder, or enter into any license or concession agreements or otherwise permit the occupancy or use of the Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Tenant. Except as provided below with respect to a Permitted Transfer, if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or similar entity, a change in Control of such entity (including, but not limited to, a merger, consolidation or reorganization) shall constitute a Transfer.

Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent, except for a Permitted Transfer, shall not be binding upon Landlord, shall confer no rights on any third person, and shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and constitute an Event of Default.

14.5 Effect of Transfer.

If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord is hereby authorized to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such Event of Default is cured. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 14 or the approval of any Transferee or a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, whether theretofore or thereafter accruing. In no event shall Landlord’s enforcement of any provision of this Lease against any Transferee be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to enforce any term of this Lease against Tenant or any other person.
14.7 Review Fees. Whether or not Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall, upon demand reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and administrative costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, not to exceed $5,000.00, in connection with any proposed Transfer so long as Tenant and its proposed transferee shall only make minimal comments to Landlord’s standard consent document.

If Xxxxxx holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination thereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant of Rent shall constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of the Premises. Such tenancy at sufferance shall be subject to every term, covenant and condition contained herein, except that Tenant shall pay on the first day of each month, as holdover rent, (1) for the first thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease, an amount (on a per-month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent then payable for the last full month of the Lease Term and (2) from and after the thirty-first (31st) day following the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease, an amount (on a per-month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to one hundred fifty
31
percent (150%) of the greater of (a) the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable for the last full month of the Lease Term, and (b) the fair market gross rental for the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord. Nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Xxxxxx. The provisions of this Article 16 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at Law. If Xxxxxx fails to surrender the Premises within thirty (30) days after the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold the Landlord Related Parties harmless from all Claims resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord has notified Tenant that Landlord has a new tenant for the Premises, then the terms of the prior sentence shall apply as of the termination or expiration of this Lease and not thirty (30) days thereafter.
ARTICLE 17: ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES
As often as may be requested by Landlord in writing, Tenant shall promptly and without cost to Landlord duly execute and deliver to Landlord or to any other person designated by Landlord a written instrument certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there has been a modification, that the same is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modification); (b) the dates, if any, to which the Rent, and other sums and payments due under this Lease have been paid; (c) whether Landlord has breached the performance of any covenants, terms and conditions on Landlord’s part to be performed under this Lease, and the nature of Landlord’s breach, if any; and (d) such other information as Landlord or any Mortgagee may reasonably request. Xxxxxxxx may prepare said document for Xxxxxx’s signature and send the same to Tenant for Xxxxxx’s signature and in the event that Xxxxxx does not execute and return the same to Landlord within ten (10) business days, Tenant shall be deemed to have certified all information contained therein. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective Mortgagee or purchaser of all or any portion of the Property.
In connection with the sale of Tenant’s business or if requested by Xxxxxx’s lender, but in any event not more than one (1) time per calendar year, Landlord shall within ten (10) business days and without cost to Tenant duly execute and deliver to Tenant or to any other person designated by Tenant a written instrument certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified (or if there has been a modification, stating the modification); and (b) such other factual information as Tenant or Tenant’s lender may reasonably request. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective lender or purchaser of Tenant.
ARTICLE 18: SUBORDINATION
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all Mortgages, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such Mortgages, unless the Mortgagees require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto, in which case, the Lease and Xxxxxx’s rights hereunder shall be superior and prior in right to the applicable Mortgage; provided, however, so long as an Event of Default does not exist, Xxxxxx’s possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed as set forth in this Lease. Xxxxxx’s acknowledgement and agreement of subordination provided for in this Article 18 is self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of request by Landlord, execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such Mortgages. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future Law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. If requested by a successor-in-interest to all or a part of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to the successor-in-interest. Xxxxxxxx’s interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder. If the Mortgagee or the purchaser (“Purchaser”) upon the foreclosure of any of the loan documents in favor of Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, such Mortgagee or Purchaser shall have the same remedies, by entry, action or otherwise for the non performance of any agreement
32
contained in this Lease, for the recovery of Rent or for any other Event of Default hereunder that Landlord had or would have had if any such Mortgagee or Purchaser had not succeeded to the interest of Landlord. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to the contrary, any such Mortgagee or Purchaser which succeeds to the interest of Landlord hereunder, shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord) unless such act or omission is of a continuing nature; or (ii) subject to any offsets (except for those express rights granted to Tenant by the terms of the Lease) or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (iii) bound by any Rent (except for prepayments of the Tax Excess, the Expense Excess, Tenant’s Electricity Cost and any other utilities provided by Landlord) which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including Landlord); (iv) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without its consent; or (v) liable for the return of the Security Deposit unless the Security Deposit has been delivered to Mortgagee or Purchaser, as the case may be ; provided, however, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit or the portion thereof remaining (if any) to the Mortgagee or Purchaser at the time that such Mortgagee or Purchaser acquires the interest of Landlord.
Xxxxxxxx agrees to use reasonable efforts to obtain from the existing Mortgagee on the Property, a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”) in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto. “Reasonable efforts” of Landlord shall not include payment of money (over mailing expenses) or incurring liability.
ARTICLE 19: DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
19.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default of this Lease by Tenant (each an “Event of Default”):
19.1.1 Tenant does not take possession of, or abandons all or any portion of the Premises.
19.1.2 The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, provided, however, that an Event of Default shall not occur if Tenant pays such Rent or other payment within five (5) days after the date it is due for the first two (2) times in any calendar year.
19.1.3 Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than described in Section 19.1.1 and 19.1.2 above, where such failure shall continue for a period of twenty-one (21) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s noncompliance is such that more than twenty-one (21) days are reasonably required for its cure, then an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred if Tenant commenced such cure within said twenty-one (21) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. If Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Tenant’s failure to comply with any particular term, provision or covenant of this Lease on three (3) occasions during any twelve (12) month period, Tenant’s subsequent violation of such term, provision or covenant shall, at Landlord’s option, bean incurable Event of Default.
19.1.4 (a) The making by Tenant of any arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) Tenant becomes a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty [60] days); (c), the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; (d) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days or the date of any sooner sale of any of such assets; (e) Tenant shall not pay its debts as they become due; (f) Tenant shall be insolvent; or (g) Tenant shall become subject to any proceeding in bankruptcy or insolvency.
33
19.1.5 The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement given to Landlord by Xxxxxx, any assignee of Tenant, any subtenant of Tenant, or any successor in interest of Tenant, was materially false or misleading and Tenant was complicit or willful in providing the false or misleading statement.
19.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to those allowed by Law or in equity, any one or more of which may be exercised:
19.2.1 Landlord may terminate this Lease or, without terminating this Lease, terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises as of the date of such default, and thereafter (a) neither Tenant nor any person claiming under or through Tenant shall be entitled to possession of the Premises, and Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord; and (b) Landlord may re-enter the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other occupants of the Premises by any lawful means and may remove their effects, without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease instead of terminating only Tenant’s right to possession, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Rent and all other sums payable up to the time of termination of this Lease and, in addition, Landlord shall have the right to recover against Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain, and not as a penalty, the excess (if any), as determined by Landlord, of (i) the then present value of the projected Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder (as determined by Landlord on the basis of reasonable estimates) that would have accrued for the balance of the Term of this Lease less (ii) the then present value of the fair market value of the Premises for the balance of such term taking into account among other things, the condition of the Premises, market conditions and the period of time the Premises may reasonably remain vacant before Landlord is able to re-lease the same to a suitable replacement tenant, and the Default Damages that Landlord may incur in order to enter into a replacement lease (“Benefit of the Bargain Damages”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if, subsequent to the termination of this Lease and the recovery of damages from Tenant pursuant to this Section 19.2.1, Landlord relets the Premises for an effective rent higher or lower than the effective rent assumed for purposes of calculating Benefit of the Bargain Damages pursuant to this Section 19.2.1, the Benefit of the Bargain Damages shall not be recalculated and Landlord shall be entitled to retain all of the proceeds of such reletting. For purposes of determining present value, Landlord and Tenant shall use a discount rate equal to the Prime Rate.
19.2.2 If Landlord elects to terminate Tenant’s right to possession under this Lease, but not to terminate this Lease, Landlord may, relet the Premises (or any part thereof) for the account of Tenant at such rentals and upon such terms and conditions as Landlord shall deem appropriate. If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession under this Lease (but does not terminate this Lease), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent and all other sums payable up to the time of such termination of Tenant’s right to possession under this Lease, and thereafter, Tenant covenants to pay Landlord until the end of the Term of this Lease the equivalent of the amount of all the Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease less the net avails of such reletting, if any, during the same period, and the same shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord on the dates such Rent and other sums are due under this Lease. Tenant shall also be liable for, and shall pay to Landlord all the Default Damages. To the extent that Xxxxxxxx receives rents from a reletting of the Premises, such rents shall be applied first to the payment of Default Damages and then to the fulfillment of Tenant’s covenants hereunder and, if the proceeds of such reletting exceed the Default Damages and the Rent and other sums due hereunder, all such excess proceeds shall belong to Landlord. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Xxxxxxxx’s interests hereunder, or any other act or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations
34
hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for the failure to relet all or any part of the Premises or for the failure to collect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages in the event of an Event of Default and Xxxxxx’s right to possession of the Premises is terminated under this Section 19, provided, except to the extent required by applicable Laws, Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Premises before Landlord leases other vacant space in the Building or relet the Premises to any potential tenant who Landlord could reasonably reject as a Transferee pursuant to Article 14 hereof.
19.3 Default by Landlord. Tenant shall give Landlord and the Mortgagee(s) of whom Xxxxxx has been notified hold Mortgages on the Property, Building or Premises, notice and reasonable time to cure the alleged default prior to Tenant filing any suit or exercising any remedy available to Tenant for such alleged default.
19.4 Tenant’s Waiver of Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, Tenant waives the right to a trial by jury and the right to file any counterclaims or cross-claims other than compulsory counter claims or cross-claims. Tenant waives all rights of redemption or relief from forfeiture under applicable Laws.
19.5 Cumulative Remedies. No right or remedy of Landlord shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right and remedy now or subsequently available to Landlord at Law or in equity.
ARTICLE 20: COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants that Tenant shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises subject to the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements hereof without interference by any persons lawfully claiming by or through Landlord, subject to all Superior Agreements, to which this Lease may be subject or subordinate from time to time. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.
ARTICLE 21: SECURITY DEPOSIT
The Security Deposit shall be delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease by Xxxxxx and shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest (unless required by applicable Law) as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Tenant’s liability for damages. Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use all or a portion of the Security Deposit to satisfy past due Rent or to cure any Event of Default. After each application from the Security Deposit, Tenant shall on demand restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall return any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the latest to occur of: (a) the prompt determination of Tenant’s Share of any Tax Excess and Tenant’s Share of any Expense Excess for the final year of the Lease Term; (b) the date Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with this Lease; or (c) the Lease Expiration Date. The covenants in this Section 21 are personal covenants between Landlord and Tenant and not covenants running with the land. In no event will any Mortgagee or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or sale in lieu of foreclosure be liable to Tenant for the return of the Security Deposit. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and, following the assignment, Landlord shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit and Tenant shall look solely to be new landlord for the return of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts. Subject to the remaining terms of this Article 21, and provided Xxxxxx has timely paid all Rent due under this Lease during the first twenty-four (24) full months of the Lease Term, then as of the first day of the twenty-fifth (25th) full month of the Lease Term (the “Reduction Date”), Tenant shall have the right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit so that the new Security Deposit shall equal Sixty Thousand
35
Five Hundred Fifty-Eight and 96/100 Dollars ($60,558.96). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default has occurred at any time prior to the Reduction Date, then Tenant shall have no right to reduce the amount of the Security Deposit as described herein.
If Tenant is entitled to a reduction in the Security Deposit, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice requesting that the Security Deposit be reduced as provided above (the “Reduction Notice”). If Tenant provides Landlord with a Reduction Notice, and Tenant is entitled to reduce the Security Deposit as provided herein, Landlord shall refund the applicable portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 45 days after the later to occur of (a) Landlord’s receipt of the Reduction Notice, or (b) the Reduction Date.
ARTICLE 22: SIGNS
22.1 Signs Generally. No signs, advertisements or notices shall be painted or affixed to windows, doors or other parts of the Building, except those of such color, size, style and in such places as are first approved in writing by Landlord. No decorations, posters, banners, decorative lights or other items shall be placed in or affixed to or painted on the windows or adjacent to the windows in a location visible from the exterior of the Premises. If used in the Building by Landlord, all tenant identification and suite numbers at the entrance to the Premises and directory signage in the Building shall be installed by Landlord, at its cost and expense, using the standard graphics for the Building. If Landlord approves any signs to be installed by Tenant, such signs (a) shall comply with the requirements of the covenants, conditions and restrictions of record (including the P.U.D. affecting the Property) and the requirements of the City of Rolling Meadows, Illinois, and any other governmental authority with jurisdiction, and (b) shall be removed by Tenant, any damage to the Premises caused by such removal repaired and the Premises restored, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
22.2 Entrance Monument Sign. Subject to all applicable Laws, and the receipt of all required approvals from all applicable governmental authorities (including any approvals required in connection with the P.U.D. affecting the Property) and all third parties having approval rights, and provided Cambium Networks is the Tenant hereunder and occupies at least eighty percent (80%) of the Premises (the “Signage Occupancy Requirement”), Landlord shall place Tenant’s name (using Building standard colors, design and materials at Landlord’s sole discretion) on the existing northeast Building entrance sign (the “Entrance Monument Sign”). Tenant’s use of the Entrance Monument Sign shall be on a non-exclusive basis with other tenants and occupants of the Building for the entire Term and Landlord may grant other tenants or occupants of the Building rights to use the Entrance Monument Sign. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Signage Occupancy Requirement is not met at any time, Landlord may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove Tenant’s name from the Entrance Monument Sign, and repair any damage caused by such removal and restore the same to the condition that existed prior to the placement of Tenant’s name on such Entrance Monument Sign.
22.3 Tenant’s Sign Panel. As long as the Signage Occupancy Requirement is met, Tenant shall have the right to have identification signage on a panel of the existing Building monument sign (“Tenant’s Sign Panel”) located on Golf Road. If Tenant elects to place Tenant’s Sign Panel on the existing Building monument sign, Tenant shall, within twelve (12) months of full execution of this Lease by both Landlord and Tenant, deliver to Landlord a written notice indicating Xxxxxx’s desire to place Xxxxxx’s Sign Panel on the Building monument sign. If Tenant fails to deliver such notice within said twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to place Tenant’s Sign Panel on the Building monument sign. The design, color and size of Tenant’s Sign Panel shall comply with Xxxxxxxx’s criteria for the Building monument sign and shall otherwise be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval. Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, install Tenant’s Sign Panel using Landlord’s sign contractor. On or before the earlier to occur of the Lease Expiration Date or the date Tenant’s right to place a panel on the Building monument sign terminates as a result of Tenant’s failure to meet the Signage Occupancy Requirement, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove Xxxxxx’s Sign Panel from the
36
Building monument sign, repair any damage to the Building monument sign caused by such removal and restore the same to the condition that existed prior to Tenant’s installation of Tenant’s Sign Panel. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, reserves the right to relocate to a location of similar prominence, from time to time, the Building monument sign. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Signage Occupancy Requirement is not met, then Tenant shall have no further right under this Section 22.3 to have a panel on the Building monument sign.
ARTICLE 23: COMPLIANCE WITH LAW
Tenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises or the Property which will in any way conflict with any applicable Law. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly comply with all applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act or the Illinois Accessibility Standards as revised on April 24, 1997 [the “ADA”]) affecting the Premises or any part thereof or the use thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided below, Tenant shall have no obligation to comply with any such applicable Laws to the extent the same require Structural Work to the Premises, all of which required Structural Work shall be the obligation of Landlord (except that the foregoing does not in any way relieve Tenant from any responsibility to pay Tenant’s Share of the Expense Excess as provided in this Lease), except to the extent that such Structural Work is (a) caused by an act or omission of Tenant, or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors, (b) required as a result of Tenant’s specific use of the Premises or the particular configuration of the Alterations within the Premises, (c) necessitated by or to any Alteration to the Premises performed by or at the direction of Tenant, or (d) required of Tenant in its capacity as an employer, in any of which cases such Structural Work shall be performed by Landlord (or, at Landlord’s option, by Tenant) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to contest any determination that Landlord has violated any Laws or that the Building violates any Laws.
ARTICLE 24: LATE CHARGES
If Tenant shall fail to make any payment of any installment of Rent or any other sum when due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of the overdue amount. The late charge shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner. No late charge or Interest under this Article 24 or Article 25 shall preclude Landlord from exercising any of its rights and remedies available hereunder, or at Law or in equity after any default by Xxxxxx.
ARTICLE 25: LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT; PAYMENTS BY TENANT
25.1 Landlord’s Cure. All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant shall fail to perform any obligation under this Lease in a manner satisfactory to Landlord (including Tenant’s obligation to perform repairs or replacements in the Premises), and such failure shall continue for more than twenty-one (21) days after notice from Landlord (provided no notice or cure period shall be required in the event of an Emergency) or in excess of any shorter time period specified in this Lease (if any), Landlord may, but shall not be obligated, to perform such obligations on behalf and at the expense of Tenant without waiving its rights based upon any Event of Default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder.
25.2 Tenant’s Reimbursement. If (a) Tenant fails to make any payment under this Lease when due and Tenant does not cure such failure within five (5) days after receipt of notice from Landlord, (b) following an Event of Default, Landlord performs or causes the performance of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease that Tenant has failed to perform, or (c) Landlord incurs any costs or expenses as a result of an Event of Default, then Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent, upon demand, the amount due under (a), or the amount of such costs and expenses incurred under (b) or (c) above, plus Interest from the date such payment was due or from the date Landlord incurs such costs or expenses plus Landlord’s reasonable administrative costs in connection therewith.
37
ARTICLE 26: ENTRY BY LANDLORD
Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors reserve the right during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, which notice may be given orally (except in the case of an Emergency, in which case no prior notice shall be required) to enter the Premises to (a) inspect them; (b) show the Premises to current or prospective purchasers, Mortgagees, insurers, ground lessors or, during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, tenants; (c) post notices of nonresponsibility; or (d) improve, alter, clean, maintain or repair the Premises.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall also permit other tenants and such tenant’s agents, employees and contractors to enter the Premises for the purposes set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) above. Landlord may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. If reasonably necessary for the protection and safety of Tenant and its employees, Landlord shall have the right to temporarily close all or a portion of the Premises to perform repairs, alterations and additions. However, except in an Emergency, Xxxxxxxx will not close the Premises if the work can reasonably be completed on weekends and after Building Hours. In connection with any entry into the Premises, Xxxxxxxx agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Xxxxxx’s operations in the Premises caused by such entry and to minimize the duration of any such interference. Tenant hereby waives any Claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Xxxxxx’s business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned by any entry into the Premises pursuant to this Article 26. Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises. In an Emergency, Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem reasonable to enter the Premises. Any entry into the Premises by any party that is permitted to so enter pursuant to this Article 26 and work performed by any such party hereunder is hereby consented to by Tenant and shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises or entitle Tenant to an abatement of Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Landlord requires Tenant to close the Premises during Building Hours pursuant to this Article 26 for a period of more than seventy-two (72) hours, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent, commencing after the expiration of such seventy-two (72) hour period and continuing thereafter during the rest of the period that the Premises are so required to be closed.
ARTICLE 27: SECURITY
Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any safety or security devices, services or programs for Tenant or the Property and shall have no liability for failure to provide the same or for inadequacy of any measures provided. However, Landlord may institute or continue such safety or security devices, measures, services and programs as Landlord in its sole discretion deems necessary. The costs and expenses of instituting and maintaining such devices, services and programs shall be borne by Tenant as a part of Operating Expenses, or as a separate, additional charge to Tenant based on Tenant’s Share or such other reasonable factors as Landlord shall determine. The parties acknowledge that safety and
38
security devices, services and programs provided by Landlord, if any, while intended to deter crime and enhance safety, may not in given instances prevent theft or other injurious acts or ensure safety of parties or property. The risk that any safety or security device, service or program may not be effective, or may malfunction, or be circumvented, is assumed by Tenant with respect to Tenant’s property and interests, and Tenant shall obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against such acts and other losses, beyond that described in Article 10. Tenant shall obtain any and all safety and security devices or programs Tenant shall reasonably require for the protection of the Premises, the Tenant Related Parties and the goods and personal property of Tenant.

28.33 Right of First Refusal.
28.33.1 Tenant shall have the one time right of first refusal (the “Refusal Right”) with respect to any of the rentable square feet of space on the third floor of the Building that is contiguous to Suite No. 360 (the “Refusal Space”), which right of first refusal shall be exercised as follows: when Landlord has a prospective tenant (excluding any existing occupant of the Refusal Space) (“Prospect”) interested in leasing the Refusal Space, Landlord shall advise Tenant (the “Advice”) of the terms under which Landlord is prepared to lease the Refusal Space to such Prospect and Tenant may lease the Refusal Space, under such terms, by providing Landlord with written notice of exercise (“Notice of Exercise”) within five (5) Business Days after the date of the Advice, except that Tenant shall have no such Refusal Right and Landlord need not provide Tenant with an Advice if:
(a) An Event of Default shall not have occurred prior to delivery of the Advice; or
(b) more than twenty percent (20%) of the Premises is sublet at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or
(c) this Lease has been assigned, other than to Permitted Transferee, prior to the date Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or
(d) the Refusal Space is not intended for the exclusive use of Tenant during the Initial Term; or
(e) Tenant is not occupying the Premises on the date Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice.
28.33.2 The term for the Refusal Space shall commence upon the commencement date stated in the Advice (which shall be no earlier than ninety [90] days following delivery of the Refusal Space to Tenant) and thereupon such Refusal Space shall be considered a part of the Premises, provided that all of the terms stated in the Advice (including, without limitation, the expiration date set forth in the Advice) shall govern Tenant’s leasing of the Refusal Space and, only to the extent that they do not conflict with the Advice, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the Refusal Space. The Refusal Space (including improvements and personalty, if any) shall be accepted by Tenant in its condition and as-built configuration existing on the earlier of the date Tenant takes possession of the Refusal Space or the date the term for such Refusal Space commences, unless the Advice specifies work to be performed by Landlord in the Refusal Space, in which case Landlord shall perform such work in the Refusal Space.
28.33.3 The rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the Refusal Space shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) Tenant’s failure to deliver to Landlord a Notice of Exercise within the 5-Business Day period provided in Section 28.33.1 above, and (ii) the date Landlord would have provided Tenant an Advice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 28.33.1 above.
28.33.4 If Xxxxxx’s rights hereunder with respect to a particular Refusal Space are terminated pursuant to Section 28.33.3, Landlord shall be entitled to lease the Refusal Space to the Prospect without notice to Tenant, except as provided in the next sentence. If Landlord and the Prospect thereafter agree to a lease of the Refusal Space upon terms that are substantially more favorable than the terms set forth in the Advice to Tenant, Tenant shall once again have a Refusal Right with respect to
45
the Refusal Space and, subject to Section 28.33.3, Landlord shall deliver a new Advice to Tenant reflecting the revised terms of the proposal to the Prospect in accordance with the provisions of Section 28.33.1. For purposes hereof, the terms offered to the Proposed shall be deemed to be substantially more favorable than the terms set forth in the Advice if there is more than a ten percent (10%) reduction in the “bottom line” cost per Rentable Square Footage of the Refusal Space to the Prospect when compared with the “bottom line” cost per Rentable Square Footage under the Advice, considering all of the material economic terms of both deals, respectively, including, without limitation, the length of term, the net rent, any tax or expense escalation or other financial escalation and any financial concessions. If the Prospect thereafter fails to lease the Refusal Space, the Refusal Right shall be reinstated, and, subject to Section 28.33.3 Landlord will be required to give Tenant an Advice in accordance with the provisions of Section 28.33.1 if a new proposal for such Refusal Space is issued or received by Landlord. If Tenant exercises its Refusal Right, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Refusal Space Amendment”) adding the Refusal Space to the Premises on the terms set forth in the Advice and reflecting the changes in the Base Rent, Rentable Square Footage of the Premises, Tenant’s Share, the Base Year and other appropriate terms. A copy of the Refusal Space Amendment shall be (i) sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise, and (ii) executed by Xxxxxx and returned to Landlord within 10 business days thereafter.
28.33.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant exercises its Refusal Right pursuant to the terms contained herein during the first two (2) years of the Initial Term, then notwithstanding the terms contained in the Advice, (a) Landlord shall pay to Tenant the Refusal Space Allowance (hereinafter defined), (b) Landlord shall grant Tenant a Refusal Space Rent Abatement (hereinafter defined), (c) the term for the Refusal Space shall continue until the Lease Expiration Date, (d) Base Rent payable for the portion of the Lease Term that is not covered by the Advice (if the Term set forth in the Advice would result in the Lease Term for the Refusal Space ending prior to the Lease Expiration Date), shall continue to increase annually through the Lease Expiration Date based on the same annual increases set forth in the Advice and (e) no allowances, abatements or other concessions (if any) set forth in the Advice will apply to the Refusal Space. The “Refusal Space Allowance” shall mean an amount equal to the unamortized portion of the Refusal Space Full Allowance (hereinafter defined) calculated as of the commencement date of the term for the Refusal Space. For purposes of calculating the unamortized portion of the Refusal Space Full Allowance, the Refusal Space Full Allowance will be amortized over the Initial Term using an interest rate equal to eight percent (8%) per annum. The “Refusal Space Full Allowance” shall mean an amount equal to $46.00 per rentable Square Footage of the Refusal Space. The “Refusal Space Rent Abatement” shall mean an abatement of the Base Rent payable with respect to the Refusal Space for the period commencing on the commencement date of the term for the Refusal Space and continuing for the number of months determined by multiplying 12 times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining in the Initial Term (including a percentage representing any partial month) as of the commencement date of the term for the Refusal Space and the denominator of which is 130.
28.33.6 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Xxxxxx’s Refusal Right is subject and subordinate to (i) the renewal or extension rights of any tenant leasing all or any portion of the Refusal Space, and (ii) the expansion rights (whether such rights are designated as a right of first offer, right of first refusal, expansion option or otherwise) of any tenant of the Building existing on the date hereof.
28.34 Tenant Financing. Landlord hereby waives any contractual, statutory or other Landlord’s lien on Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, supplies, equipment, inventory and any of Tenant’s other personal property located at the Premises.

Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for the Landlord Work with a general contractor selected by Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to select and/or approve of any subcontractors used in connection with the Landlord Work. Landlord’s supervision or performance of any work for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed a representation by Landlord that such work complies with applicable insurance requirements, building codes, ordinances, laws or regulations, or that the improvements constructed will be adequate for Tenant’s use, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Suite No. 155 (including, without limitation, compliance with law relating to design, functionality of design, the configuration of the premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment [including responsibility for all load-bearing issues related to such configuration and placement]).
