The total amount of the rent credit shall equal the costs expended by Tenant for the work as evidenced by the paid receipts, subject, however, to a cap of $20,000. If Tenant does not perform Tenant’s Work within said period, then the rent credit under this Section shall no longer by available to Tenant and shall become null and void.

Renewal Option. Tenant shall have the right to renew the lease for five years with no less than 180 days prior written notice. The base rent for the year commencing November 1, 2011 shall be four percent above that of the year ending October 31, 2011 and the rent shall continue to increase by four percent each year on November 1.

Should Tenant cancel the Lease prior to the end of the Lease Term and the Premises is re-leased on favorable terms to Landlord, Landlord at Landlord’s sole discretion may choose to refund a portion of the Cancellation Premium to Tenant but is under no obligation to do so.

Additional Rent. Commencing on August 1, 2006 and continuing for the remainder of the term of the Lease, Tenant’s Building Share shall be 20.5% and Tenant’s Parcel Share shall be 3.0%. For clarification purposes, the defined term “Additional Assessments” set forth in Section 14.b. of the Lease refers to all of the items referenced in the first (1st) paragraph of Section 14.b. of the Lease, and the defined term “Tenant’s Percentage” in the second (2nd) paragraph of Section 14.b. of the Lease means Tenant’s Building Share or Tenant’s Parcel Share, as applicable. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to modify its estimate of Additional assessments for any calendar year, and Landlord reserves the right, at any time, to impose special assessment(s) on Tenant to collect items of Tenant’s share of Additional Assessments incurred by Landlord during any calendar year. Further, the parties agree that “operating expenses” referenced in the first (1st) paragraph of Section 14.b. of the Lease shall mean all of the following:
“(i)
any and all costs of ownership, management, operation, repair and maintenance of the Project, including, without limitation, wages, salaries, professionals’ fees, taxes, insurance premiums and amounts incurred by Landlord pursuant to insurance deductibles, benefits and other payroll burdens of all employees, Project management fee, maintenance, security and other services, Project management office rent or rental value, power, fuel water, waste disposal, landscaping care, lighting, garbage removal, window cleaning, system maintenance, parking area care, and any all and all other utilities, materials, supplies, maintenance, repairs, insurance applicable to the Project and Landlord’s personal property and depreciation on personal property, and (ii) the cost (amortized over such reasonable period as Landlord shall determine together with interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum on the unamortized balance) of any replacement and maintenance of roofs, mechanical equipment and parking areas, as well as reasonable reserves for such replacement costs.”
Landlord shall maintain accounting books and records in accordance with sound accounting principles. In determining the amount of operating expenses for any calendar year, (i) if less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Project shall have been occupied by tenants and fully used by them, operating expenses shall be increased to an amount equal to the like operating expenses which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy been one hundred percent (100%) and had such full utilization been made during the entire period or (ii) if Landlord is not furnishing particular work or services (the cost of which if performed by Landlord would constitute an operating expense) to a tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or service in lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord, operating expenses shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional expense which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord had Landlord furnished such work or service to such tenant.

A.
Repair Estimate. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”). Landlord shall use good faith efforts to deliver to Tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days after such Casualty a good faith estimate (the “Damage Notice”) of the time needed to repair the damage caused by such Casualty.
B.
Tenant’s Rights. If a material portion of the Premises is damaged by Casualty such that Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Casualty and Landlord estimates that the damage caused thereby cannot be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days after the commencement of repairs (the “Repair Period”), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.
C.
Landlord’s Rights. If a Casualty damages the Premises or a material portion of the Building and: (1) Landlord estimates that the damage to the premises cannot be repaired within the Repair Period; (2) the damage to the Premises exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost thereof (excluding foundations and footings), as estimated by Landlord, and such damage occurs during the last two (2) years of the Term; (3) regardless of the extent of damage to the Premises, Landlord makes a good faith determination that restoring the Building would be uneconomical; or (4) Landlord is required to pay any insurance proceeds arising out of the Casualty to a Landlord’s Mortgagee, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to terminate with sixty (60) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.
D.
Repair Obligations. If neither party exercises its right as stated herein to terminate this Lease following a Casualty, then Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after such Casualty; begin to repair the Premises and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as they existed immediately before such Casualty, however, Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any Alternations or betterments within the Premises (which shall be promptly and with due diligence repaired and restored by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) or any furniture, equipment, trade fixtures or personal property of Tenant or others in the Premises or the Building, and Landlord’s obligation to repair or restore the Premises shall be limited to the extent of the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for the Casualty in question. If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of this Section, Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of the insurance policies providing coverage for all Alterations, improvements and betterments in the premises (and, if Tenant has failed to maintain insurance on such items as required by this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the proceeds landlord would have received had Tenant maintained insurance on such items as required by this Lease).
E.
Abatement of Rent. If the Premises are damaged by Casualty, Rent for the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the damage shall be abated on a reasonable basis from the date of damage until the completion of Landlord’s repairs (or until the date of termination of this Lease by Landlord or Tenant as provided above, as the case may be), unless Tenant or any agent, employee, contractor or invitee of Tenant caused such damage, in which case, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent without abatement.”
