Tenant, for itself, its successors and assigns, expressly covenants that Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof (each a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in the case of a proposed assignment or subletting; provided, however, such consent shall not be required, but not less than 10-days prior written notice shall be given to Landlord for any Transfer, (i) to an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with Tenant, (ii) to an entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated, (iii) which occurs in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; it being agreed that upon any such Transfer pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above, such transferee shall execute such documentation as shall be reasonably requested by Landlord to effect the assumption of this Lease and all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder by such transferee. If Tenant requests Xxxxxxxx’s consent to a Transfer, Tenant, together with such request for consent, shall provide Landlord with the name of the proposed transferee and the nature of the business of the proposed transferee, the term, use, rental rate and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including, without limitation, a copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or other contractual documents and evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the proposed transferee is financially responsible. Landlord shall respond within twenty (10 ) days to Tenant’s request by either consenting to the Transfer or refusing to consent to the proposed Transfer, which refusal shall be in writing and shall state the reasons therefor. In the event Landlord consents to any such Transfer, the Transfer and consent thereto shall be in a form approved by Landlord. Any Transfer consented to by Landlord in accordance with this Article 10 shall be only for the Permitted Use and for no other purpose. In no event shall any Transfer release or relieve Tenant from any obligations under this Lease.
11. ACCESS.
(a) Access by Xxxxxx. Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable access to the Common Areas of the Building and to the Premises, twenty-four (24) hours a day, three hundred sixty-five (365) days per year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that repairs, hazardous conditions and other circumstances beyond Landlord’s reasonable control may prevent access to the Common Areas of the Building and to the Premises from time to time; provided, however, Landlord shall use its good faith efforts to minimize its interference with Xxxxxx’s use and enjoyment of the Premises and the exercise of Tenant’s rights hereunder.
(b) Access by Xxxxxxxx. Landlord and its employees, servants and agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, upon at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice (except in case of emergency, in which no such prior notice shall be required), for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, or tenants of the Premises, or for making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, or examining or inspecting the Premises in order to ascertain whether Xxxxxx is complying with all of its obligations hereunder. Landlord shall be allowed to take all materials into and upon the Premises that may be reasonably required therefor without the same constituting an eviction of Tenant in whole or in part, and Rent shall in no way xxxxx while said alterations, repairs, improvements or additions are being made only if such activities do not compromise Tenant’s normal business operations. In case of emergency when such entry by Landlord is necessary, if representatives of Tenant shall not be present to open and permit entry into the Premises, Landlord may enter by means of a master key or force, and without such entry constituting either an eviction of Tenant or termination of this Lease. Xxxxxxxx’s rights under this Section shall be exercised in the manner that least interferes with Tenant’s business then being conducted at the Premises.
12. SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
At the end of the Term, Xxxxxx shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, with all alterations additions, renovations and improvements thereto removed, in broom-clean condition and in as good order and repair as when the Term commenced except for ordinary wear and tear and damages or conditions which Tenant is not obligated to repair hereunder and which Tenant or its servants, agents, employees, licensees or invitees have not caused. Tenant’s goods, effects, personal property, business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment not removed by Tenant at the expiration or other termination of this Lease (or within five (5) days after a termination by reason of Tenant’s default) shall be considered abandoned and Landlord may dispose of the same as they deem expedient. All costs incurred by Landlord to remove and dispose of Xxxxxx’s abandoned property left in the Premises shall be reimbursed to Landlord by Xxxxxx. Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord at the end of the Term hereof, without notice of any kind, and Tenant waives all right to any such notice as may be provided under any laws now or hereafter in effect. Tenant’s obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of the Term of this Lease. For the purposes of this Section, ordinary wear and tear shall not be deemed to include damage to the floor of the Premises or to the walls thereof if such damages are the result of weight and/or loads placed upon the floors or damage to the walls of the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, licensees or independent contractors employed by Tenant. Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees or contractors shall take no action which may void any manufacturers or installers warranty with relation to the Premises.
13. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY.
(a) Tenant agrees that all fixtures, equipment, inventory and other personal property of Tenant or any of its contractors, subcontractors, licensees or invitees or the agents or employees of any of the foregoing (each, a “Releasing Party”) which may at any time now or in the future be in the Premises or other portions of the Property shall be maintained there at such Releasing Party’s sole risk. Landlord shall not be liable to any Releasing Party for any damage to said property, or for loss or damage now or hereafter suffered by the business or occupation of any Releasing Party caused in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing occasioned by (a) the act or omission of persons occupying other premises, (b) any defect, latent or otherwise, in any building or the equipment, machinery, utilities, or apparatus, (c) any breakage or leakage of the roof, walls, floor, pipes or equipment, (d) any backing up, seepage or overflow of water or sewerage, or (e) flood, rain, snowfall or other elements or acts of god, except to the extent such damage or loss shall have been solely caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct; it being agreed that all Releasing Parties shall obtain and at all times maintain adequate insurance, or shall make other arrangements for its own benefit against any loss or damage. In no event shall either party be liable to the other or any other Releasing Party for special, consequential or punitive damages of any kind or nature, including loss of profits, except to the extent caused in whole or in part by the negligence or intentional misconduct of a party. In no event shall Tenant been titled to claim constructive eviction by reason of any act or omission caused other than by reason of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord preventing any reasonable use of the Premises beyond such period as may be required for Landlord to correct any condition in order to provide such reasonable use.
(b) Each party hereto (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other and its partners, officers, principals, employees and agents, and their respective officers, partners, principals, employees and agents (collectively, as applicable, the “Indemnified Parties”) at all times from and against any and all third party claims, actions, losses, injuries, damages, costs and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties directly or indirectly to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party or its respective agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees.
(c) The indemnification obligations under this Section 13; and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any event occurring prior to such expiration or termination.
14. INSURANCE.
(a) Before the first day Tenant is permitted to occupy any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall for the benefit of the Landlord, maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in respect of personal injury or death and of not less than One Million Dollars($1,000,000.00) in respect of property damage. Such insurance may be satisfied by so called “blanket” or “umbrella” policies. Tenant’s insurance policy shall name Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee(s) and the ground lessor, if any, as additional insured(s), Tenant will require that any contractor and or subcontractor hired by tenant for work within their leased premises also name landlord as additional insured.
(b) Tenant shall obtain before the first day that Tenant is permitted to occupy any portion of the Premises (including, but not limited to, any early access in accordance with Section 2(c)) and to keep in force during the entire Term of this Lease (1) fire and extended coverage insurance at least as broad as the Insurance Services Office’s Causes of Loss Special Form, insuring all of Tenant’s personal property within the Premises in an amount adequate to cover one hundred percent (100%) of the cost thereof; (2) Worker’s Compensation insurance in the maximum amount required under applicable state law. Xxxxxx agrees to deliver to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time such insurance is first required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease, and thereafter at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, either a duplicate original or a certificate and true copy of all policies procured by Tenant in compliance with its obligations hereunder, together with evidence of payment therefor. Such insurance may have commercially reasonable deductible amounts reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
(c) All of Tenant’s insurance shall be written by one (1) or more insurance companies having an A.M. Best rating of at least A-MI or better, unless such entity is non A.A. Best rated such as the FMSCA or a state regulated risk retention group, and authorized to do business in the state in which the Premises is located; all such insurance may be carried under a blanket policy covering the Premises and any other of Tenant’s business locations with a “per location” endorsement providing Tenant shall be solely responsible for payment of premiums for such insurance.
(d) Xxxxxx agrees, at its own cost and expense, to comply with all of the rules, regulations and recommendations of the Fire Insurance Rating Organization and any similar body and any governmental authority having jurisdiction to the extent Tenant is made aware thereof. If Tenant installs any electrical equipment that overloads the lines in the Premises or the building in which they are located, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense promptly make whatever changes are necessary to remedy such condition and to comply with all requirements of Landlord and the Board of Fire Insurance Underwriters and any similar body and any governmental authority having jurisdiction thereof. For the purpose of this paragraph, any finding or schedule of the Fire Insurance Rating Organization having jurisdiction thereof shall be deemed to be conclusive. In the event that this Lease so permits and Tenant engages in the preparation of food or packaged foods or engages in the use, sale or storage of inflammable or combustible material, Tenant shall install chemical extinguishing devices approved by the Fire Insurance Rating Organization and shall keep such devices under service as required by such organization. If gas is used in the Premises, Tenant shall install gas cutoff devices (manual and automatic).
(e) Landlord and Tenant, each on behalf of itself and on behalf of anyone claiming under or through it by way of subrogation or otherwise, waives all rights and causes of action against the other and such party’s agents and invitees for any liability arising out of any loss or damage in or to the Premises, its contents and the Property, the Building and the Common Areas caused by: (a) any peril normally covered under “All Risk” or Special Form policies required herein (whether or not such party actually carries such insurance policies); or (b) if the scope of coverage is broader than in (a) above, then any peril actually covered under the property insurance maintained by such party. This release and waiver shall be complete and total even if such loss or damage may have been caused by the negligence of the other party or such party’s agents or invitees and shall not be affected or limited by the amount of insurance proceeds available to the waiving Party, regardless of the reason for such deficiency in proceeds. Landlord and Tenant each covenant that, from and after the date Tenant first takes occupancy of any portion of the Premises, its insurance policies will contain waiver of subrogation endorsements, and, if such endorsements for any reason are about to become unavailable, it will give the other party not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such impending unavailability.
(f) Landlord shall obtain and keep in force at all times a policy of general liability insurance with coverage against liability for bodily injury, or property damage or personal injury and such other risks and as Landlord deems advisable in amounts not less than Landlord shall also obtain and keep in force during the Term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Property in the amount of not less than the full replacement cost thereof (less the cost of foundation and footings) and rent loss and such other insurance as required by Landlord’s mortgagee. The pro rata cost of Landlord’s insurance provided under this subparagraph shall be included as part of Operating Expenses.
15. EVENT OF DEFAULT BY TENANT. The occurrence of any of the following shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant (an “Event of Default”):
(a) A failure by Tenant to pay any Rent or other sum due hereunder within ten (10) days from when such becomes due;
(b) Except as may otherwise be provided herein, the filing of any material lien against the Premises or any portion thereof or interest therein as a result of the act or omission of Tenant, its agents or employees, which are not discharged or released within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to contest the same in good faith and by appropriate proceedings as long as Tenant complies with the bonding requirements provided herein;
(c) A failure by Tenant to fully observe and perform any other provision or covenant of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, if any such failure cannot reasonably be remedied within said ten (10) day period, Tenant shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary, not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days, to remedy the failure so long as Tenant commences to remedy the failure within the initial ten (10) day period and diligently pursues such remedy thereafter; or
(d) The making by Tenant of any assignment for the benefit of creditors; the adjudication that Tenant is bankrupt or insolvent; the filing by or against Tenant of a petition fo have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof); the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located in the Premises or of Tenants interest in this Lease (unless possession is restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such appointment); or the attachment, execution or levy against, or other judicial seizure of, substantially all of Tenants interest in this Lease (unless the same is discharged within sixty (60) days after issuance thereof).
16. REMEDIES. In the event of any default by Xxxxxx, Landlord may at any time thereafter, upon notice and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any other right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default or breach:
(a) Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option, of re-entering and taking possession of the Premises without terminating the Lease and leasing all or any portion of the Premises for such term and for such use deemed satisfactory to Landlord, applying each month the net proceeds obtained from said leasing to the credit of the Tenant. Such leasing shall not release the Tenant from liability for Rent, but Tenant shall be responsible each month for the difference, if any, between the net rents obtained from such leasing and the monthly Rent reserved in this Lease, and the difference shall be payable to Landlord on the first day of each month of the Term. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess of any rents obtained by letting over and above the Rent herein reserved. Actions to collect amounts due by Tenant to Landlord under this Section may be brought from time to time, on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Landlord’s waiting until expiration of the Term. Tenant shall also be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, at the address specified for notice to Landlord herein, in addition to any sum provided to be paid above, broker’s fees incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the whole or any part of the Premises; the costs of removing and storing Tenant’s or the occupant’s property; the costs of repairing, altering, remodeling or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants, and all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing or defending Landlord’s rights and/or remedies including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
(b) Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option, to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof, in which event Tenant shall, subject to Landlord’s right to elect a lump sum payment of the present value with discount rate set as prime rate as expressly set forth below, pay to Landlord: (1) all Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of termination; (2) all amounts incurred by Landlord in: (a) obtaining possession of the Premises; (b) removing and storing Tenant’s or any other occupant’s property; (c) repairing, restoring, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the Premises into the condition required as of the expiration of the Term; (d) performing Tenant’s obligations which Tenant failed to perform; and (e) enforcing, or advising Landlord of, its rights, remedies, and recourses arising out of the Event of Default; and (3) all Rent and other net sums required hereunder to be paid by Xxxxxx during the remainder of the Term, diminished by any net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting the Premises during such period, after deducting all costs incurred by Landlord in reletting the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall terminate this Lease as a result of an Event of Default, then Tenant covenants, as an additional cumulative obligation after such termination, to pay promptly to Landlord at Xxxxxxxx’s election made by written notice to Tenant at any time after termination, as liquidated damages a single lump sum payment equal to the sum of: (i) all Rent accrued hereunder through the date of termination; (ii) all amounts due as described in (2) in the preceding sentence; (iii) all unamortized free/abated Base Rent and brokerage commissions (amortized on a straight-line basis across the Original Term with reasonable interest); and (iv) an amount equal to (A) the total Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for the remainder of the Term discounted to present value at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate minus one percent (1%), minus (B) the then present fair rental value of the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord for such period, similarly discounted;
(c) sell at public or private sale all or any part of Tenant’s property in the Premises whether exempt or not from sale under execution or attachment, the parties hereby agreeing that said property shall at all times be subject to a lien in favor of Landlord and shall be chargeable for all Rent and the fulfillment of all other covenants and agreements herein contained, and the proceeds of such sale may be applied by Landlord: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of conducting the sale or caring for or storing said property; second, to the payment of any indebtedness, including, without limitation, any indebtedness for Rent, which may be or may thereafter become due from Tenant to Landlord; and third, to pay Tenant, upon Xxxxxx’s demand therefor, any surplus remaining after all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord has been fully paid. Tenant expressly waives the benefits of all laws, now or hereafter in force, exempting any property within the Premises or elsewhere from distraint, levy or sale; and
(d) pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under applicable laws or judicial decisions.
(e) Any Rent or other sum payable under this Lease not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) in excess of the rate per annum announced from time to time by Bank of America, or its successor as its “prime rate” or similar rate, or (b) twelve percent (12%) per annum, until paid. Such rate of interest shall apply to such unpaid Rent and other sums until paid irrespective of whether judgment may have been entered therefor.
(f) The rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and Landlord shall not be put to any election of remedies. The rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder are in addition to and not in derogation of the rights and remedies otherwise available to Landlord by law or in equity or otherwise.
(g) All representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and agreements of Tenant contained in this Lease shall survive the termination or expiration of the Term, and Landlord shall have and enjoy all rights and remedies with respect thereto notwithstanding such expiration or termination. In addition, such representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and agreements and Landlord’s rights and remedies with respect thereto shall survive Tenant’s surrender and/or vacation of the Leased Premises, whether or not the same may be accepted by Landlord, and whether or not Landlord may thereafter re-let the Leased Premises.
17. EVENT OF LANDLORD DEFAULT. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless it fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of thirty (30) days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary up to ninety (90) days). For clarity the thirty (30) day notice period stated herein is not intended to require Tenant to provide Landlord with an additional notice or cure period beyond the requirements otherwise stated in this Lease. All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. Upon the occurrence of any such default by Landlord, Tenant may (i) bring an action for injunctive relief, or (ii) bring an action to recover damages for any loss directly resulting from such default. In no event shall Tenant have a right to terminate this Lease as a result of a Landlord default.
18. WAIVER. The failure or delay on the part of Landlord to enforce or exercise at any time any of the provisions, rights or remedies in this Lease shall in no way be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Lease of any part hereof, or the right of Landlord to thereafter enforce each and every such provision, right or remedy. No waiver or any breach of this Lease shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
19. QUIET ENJOYMENT. If and so long as Tenant pays the Rent and all other sums due hereunder and observes and performs all of the other covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed hereunder, Xxxxxx shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, subject nevertheless to all of the provisions of this Lease.
20. SIGNS. Tenant shall not place, install or affix, or permit the placement, installation or fixation of any sign of any nature whatsoever except in compliance with all applicable zoning codes and regulations and with Landlord’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
21. HOLDING OVER. Upon failure of Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease, or the sooner termination hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as an occupancy charge, an amount equal to the rate of One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the Rent and other sums required to be paid under this Lease with respect to the year immediately preceding the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease, as applied to any period on which Tenant shall remain in possession after such expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute Landlord’s consent to Tenant holding over at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. No holding over by Tenant or payments of money by Tenant to Landlord after the expiration of the term of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Lease Term or prevent Landlord from recovery of immediate possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. In addition to the obligation to pay the amounts set forth above during any such holdover period, Tenant also shall be liable to Landlord for all actual damages Landlord may suffer by reason of any holding over by Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any and all claims made by any other tenant or prospective tenant against Landlord for delay by Landlord in delivering possession of the Premises to such other tenant or prospective tenant.
22. FORCE MAJEURE. In the event that either party shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from doing or performing any act or thing required hereunder other than Tenant’s payment of any amounts due hereunder by reason of strikes, lock-outs, weather conditions, breakdown, accident, casualties, acts of God, labor troubles, delays in performance by contractors, inability to procure materials, inability by the exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain supplies, parts, employees or necessary services, failure of power, governmental laws, orders or regulations, actions of governmental authorities, riots, insurrection, war or other causes beyond the reasonable control of such party, or for any cause due to any act or neglect of the other party or its servants, agents, employees, licensees, or any person claiming by, through or under the other party (referred to in this Lease as “force majeure”), then either Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, shall not be liable or responsible for any such delays, and the doing or performing of such act or thing shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay and, with respect to any force majeure affecting Landlord, Tenant shall not be entitled to any diminution of Rent, damages or compensation therefor, unless the Premises or any part thereof is rendered untenantable, in which case Rent and other sums due hereunder shall xxxxx in proportion to the extent and duration of untenantability.
23. BROKERS. Except for Newmark Southern Region, LLC, d/b/a Newmark Xxxxxx Xxxxx or NKF on behalf of Landlord and , for which Landlord shall be solely responsible for the payment thereto pursuant to separate agreement, each party warrants and represents to the other that no brokers have been involved in this transaction and that no conversations or prior negotiations were had with any broker regarding the leasing of the Premises. Each party agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless against any and all claims or demands for brokerage fees or agents’ commission or other compensation asserted by any person, firm or corporation in connection with this Lease except for those provided above.
24. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other individual or entity for any damage, loss or claim whatsoever, except damages, losses and claims that are the direct result of Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct; however, in no event shall Landlord be liable for consequential, special, or punitive damages. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, it is expressly understood and agreed that the total liability of Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder and/or Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises, shall be limited to the estate of Landlord in the Property. No other property or assets of Landlord or any partner or owner of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution, other enforcement proceedings or other judicial process for the satisfaction of any judgment or any other right or remedy of Tenant arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder and/or Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises. This limitation shall not act to limit the amounts recoverable under Landlord’s insurance.
25. SUCCESSORS. The respective rights and obligations provided in this Lease shall bind and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns.
26. GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be construed, governed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina with exclusive jurisdiction residing in the Courts and tribunals of said state to adjudicate all claims arising hereunder.
27. NOTICES. Any bill, statement, notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be deemed sufficiently given if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or sent via overnight delivery service (i.e., Federal Express), addressed as follows:

28. CASUALTY.
(a) In the event that all or a portion of the Premises and/or the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, then within 30 -days of the fire or other casualty, Landlord shall provide written of Xxxxxxxx’s estimate of the time period needed to repair or rebuild the Premises and/or Property and shall proceed with reasonable dispatch, to rebuild or repair the Premises and/or Property to substantially the condition that existed at the time of such damage or destruction, and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, subject to the abatement of Rent set forth in Section 28(b) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event that (i) in Landlord’s reasonable estimation of such repair and restoration cannot be not completed within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of such damage; or (ii) less than one (1) year is then remaining on the Term at the time of the damage, then in any such case either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease, which election shall be given no later than 30-days following the date of Landlord’s notice estimating the time period of the restoration, and the effective date of such termination shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice exercising the termination right. In the event such notice is given, this Lease shall expire and all interest of Tenant in the Premises and this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the notice. In such event, the Rent, reduced by the applicable proportionate reduction, shall be paid up to the date of termination. Landlord shall refund to Tenant the Rent theretofore paid for any period of time subsequent to such date.
(b) If the damage to the Premises is not caused in whole or in material part by the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, invitees, contractors, subcontractors, licensees, subtenants or agents, then Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable reduction of Rent from the date of the occurrence until such repairs are completed. Such equitable reduction shall be based upon Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the extent to which the occurrence and the making of such repairs shall interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises. The provisions of any law now or hereafter passed authorizing the termination of this Lease upon the partial or complete destruction of the Premises are hereby waived by Xxxxxx.
(c) In the event Landlord is obligated to, or elects to, repair or restore the Premises, Landlord shall be obligated to repair or restore only such portions of the subject Premises which were originally provided by Landlord at Landlord’s expense and, all terms of the Lease shall continue to be in effect recognizing that in no event shall Landlord be required to expend more than the insurance proceeds made available to Landlord by reason of the fire or other casualty. The repair or restoration of any of Tenant’s alterations or any property of Tenant which was not provided at Landlord’s expense shall be the obligation of Tenant; provided, however, Landlord shall make available to Tenant, on such terms and conditions as Landlord may reasonably require, all insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord with regard to Tenant’s permanent leasehold improvements. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation for damage or loss of the use of all or any part of the Premises or any inconvenience, annoyance or interruption or loss of business or for any other damage whatsoever occasioned by any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration, irrespective of the negligence of Landlord or any of its employees, invitees, contractors, subcontractors, licensees, subtenants or agents, except to the extent caused in whole or in part by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its employees, invitees, contractors, subcontractors, licensees, subtenants or agents. If Landlord fails to repair and restore the portion of Premises leased by Tenant, Tenant has the right to terminate the lease.
29. CONDEMNATION.
(a) If all or a significant portion of the Property or Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance, or regulation or by right of eminent domain or shall be sold to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation, or if a part of the Property or Premises is so taken or sold so that the Premises cannot, after restoration, be economically used for the purpose intended by Tenant, or if the Property or Premises cannot be restored within one hundred eighty (180) days after such a taking or sale to make the Premises tenantable and economically suitable for Tenant’s intended use, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking or sale, and Tenant shall be liable hereunder only for Xxxx and other sums due hereunder accruing prior to the time of such taking or sale. The determination of what constitutes a significant portion of the Property or Premises shall be in Landlord’s reasonable judgment.
(b) If less than a significant part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance, or regulation or by right of eminent domain or shall be sold to the condemning authority under threat of condemnation and the Premises can, after restoration, be economically used for the purpose intended by Tenant, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, restore and reconstruct the Premises in all reasonable promptness, and, in any event, within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such taking or sale, to make the same tenantable and economically suitable for Tenant’s intended use of the Premises. Rent and other sums payable hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term shall be adjusted equitably.
(c) All compensation awarded for any such taking or condemnation, or sale proceeds in lieu thereof, shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant shall have no claim thereto, the same being hereby expressly waived by Xxxxxx. The termination of this Lease shall not affect the rights of the respective parties to those awards.
30. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.
