If any reason Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant

5. RENT:
1. Payment of Base Rent. Xxxxxx agrees to pay the Base Rent for the Premises.
Monthly Installments of Base Rent shall be payable in advance on the first
day of each calendar month of the Term. If the Term begins (or ends) other
than the first (or last) day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for the
partial month shall be prorated on a per diem basis: Tenant shall pay
Landlord the first Monthly Installment of Base Rent when Tenant executes the
Lease.
6. INTEREST AND LATE CHANGES
If Tenant fails to pay when due any Rent or other amounts or charges which
Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease, the unpaid amounts
shall bear interest at the maximum rate then allowed by law. Tenant
acknowledges that the late payment of any Monthly Installment of Base Rent
will cause Landlord to lose the use of that money and incur costs and
expenses not contemplated under this Lease, including without limitation,
administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses,
the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Therefore, in
addition to interest, if any such installment is not received by Landlord
within ten (10) days from the date it is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a
late charge equal to 5% of such installment. Landlord and Tenant agree that
this late charge represents reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses
and is fair compensation to Landlord for the loss suffered from such
nonpayment by Xxxxxx. Acceptance of any interest or late charge shall not
constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such nonpayment by
Tenant nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies
available to Landlord under this Lease.
7. SECURITY DEPOSIT
Xxxxxx agrees to deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit set forth at
Section 2 upon execution of this Lease, as security for Xxxxxx's faithful
performance of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree
that the Security Deposit may be commingled with funds of Landlord and
Landlord shall have no obligation or liability for payment of interest on
such deposit. Tenant shall not mortgage, assign, transfer or encumber the
Security Deposit without the prior written consent of Landlord and any
attempt by Tenant to do so shall be void, without force or effect and shall
not be binding upon Landlord.
If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or other amount when due and payable under
this Lease, or fails to perform any of the terms hereof, Landlord may
appropriate and apply or use all or any portion of the Security Deposit for
Rent payments or any other amount then due and unpaid, for payment of any
amount for which Landlord has become obligated as a result of Tenant's
default or breach, and for any loss or damage sustained by Landlord as a
result of Tenant's default or breach, and Landlord may so apply or use this
deposit without prejudice to any other remedy. Landlord may have by reason of
Xxxxxx's default or breach. If Landlord so uses any of the Security Deposit,
Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, restore the
Security Deposit to the full amount originally deposited; Tenant's failure to
do so shall constitute an act of default hereunder and Landlord shall have
the right to exercise any remedy provided for at Article 27 hereof. Within
fifteen (15) days after the Term (or any extension thereof) has expired or
Tenant has vacated the Premises, whichever shall last occur, and provided
Tenant is not then in default on any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord
shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant, or if Tenant has assigned its
interest under this Lease, to the last assignee of Tenant. If Landlord sells
its interest in the Premises, Landlord may deliver this deposit to the
purchaser of Landlord's Interest and thereupon be relieved of any further
liability or obligation with respect to the Security Deposit.
8. TENANT'S USE OF THE PREMISES
Tenants shall use the Premises solely for the purposes set forth in Tenant's
Use Clause. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of law
or any covenant, condition or restriction affecting the Building or Project
or the certificate of occupancy issued for the Building or Project, and
shall, upon notice from Landlord, immediately discontinue any use of the
Premises which is declared by any governmental authority having jurisdiction
to be a violation of law or the certificate of occupancy. Tenant, at Tenant's
own cost and expense, shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations,
rules, and/or any directions of any governmental agencies or authorities
having jurisdiction which shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant's use or
occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon such laws, ordinances,
regulations, rules and/or directions of any governmental agencies or
authorities having jurisdiction which shall, by reason of the nature of
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Tenant or
Landlord with respect to the Premises or it's use or occupation. If judgment
of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission by Tenant in any
action or proceeding against Tenant has violated any such laws, ordinances,
regulations, rules and/or directions so the use of the Premises shall be
deemed to be a conclusive determination of that fact as between Landlord and
Tenant. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will
invalidate or increase the cost of any fire, extended coverage or other
insurance policy covering the Building or Project and/or property located
therein, and shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations, requirements
and recommendations of the Insurance Services Office or any other
organization performing a similar function. Tenant shall promptly upon demand
reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for such policy by
reason of Xxxxxx's failure to comply with the provisions of this Article.
Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises
which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other Tenants
or occupants of the Building or Project, or injure or annoy them, or use or
allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or
objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain or permit any
nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to
be committed any waste in or upon the Premises.

Regulations of the Building or Project, electricity for normal desk top
office equipment and normal copying equipment, and heating, ventilation and
air conditioning (*HVAC*) as required in Landlord's judgment for the
comfortable use and occupancy of the Premises. If Tenant desires HVAC at any
other time, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to furnish such service
upon reasonable notice from Tenant and Tenant shall pay Landlord's charges
therefor on demand. Landlord shall also maintain and keep lighted the common
stairs, common entries and restrooms in the Building. Landlord shall not be
in default hereunder or be liable for any damages directly or indirectly
resulting from, nor shall the Rent be abated by reason of (I) the
installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with
the furnishing of any of the foregoing services, (II) failure to furnish or
delay in furnishing any such services where such failure or delay is caused
by accident or any condition or event beyond the reasonable control of
Landlord, or by the making of necessary repairs or improvements to the
Premises, Building or Project, or (III) the limitation, curtailment, or
rationing of, or restrictions on, use of water, electricity, gas or any other
form of energy serving the Premises, Building or Project. Landlord shall not
be liable under any circumstances for a loss of or injury to property or
business, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to
failure to furnish any such services. If Tenant [ILLEGIBLE] machines or

electrical current meter in the Premises to measure the amount of water or
electric current consumed. The cost of any such meter and of its
installation, maintenance and repair shall be paid for by the Tenant and
Xxxxxx agrees to pay to Landlord promptly upon demand for all such water and
electric current consumed as shown by said meters, at the rates charged for
such services by the local public utility plus any additional expense
incurred in keeping account of the water and electric current so consumed. If
a separate meter is not installed, the excess cost for such water and
electric current shall be established by an estimate made by a utility
company or electrical engineer hired by Landlord at Tenant's expense.
