ARTICLE III - RENT
§3.01 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay a minimum annual rental in each one-year period during the Term hereof which shall be referred to hereinafter as “Base Rent.” Base Rent shall be calculated and increased for each such year as set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions.
§3.02 Operating Costs. Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord a share of the operating costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project as follows:
(A) Tenant shall pay to Landlord in each year or part year during the Term a proportionate share of the amount, if any, by which the Operating Costs (defined below) applicable to the Project in each such year or part year exceeds the Operating Costs allocable pro rata to the Project in the Base Year (defined below). No Operating Costs shall be due during the Base Year.
4.
(B) For these purposes, the fraction used in determining the Tenant’s proportionate share of such items shall be the Pro Rata Share set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in calculating the Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Costs for any year, Landlord shall have the right to calculate such charges on the basis of the Building or the entire Project with respect to any of such Costs, provided that in making such calculations, the denominator used in determining the Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall include the total rentable square footage of the Building or the total rentable square footage in the entire Project, respectively.
(C) The Base Year shall be the calendar year as defined in section 1.13 above.
(D) The “Operating Costs” shall mean all expenses, costs and disbursements of every kind and nature incurred in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, replacement and operation of the Building and Project, including but not limited to the following: (1) cost of any utilities ‘which are not submetered directly to tenant spaces; (2) cost of repairs and general maintenance to the Building, (3) costs of repairs, replacements and general maintenance to the parking areas, all sidewalks and other common facilities, and all other improvements at the Project. For purposes of this provision, Operating Costs shall not include (a) the cost of capital improvements (except as expressly provided above), (b) the costs of tenant improvements within tenant spaces, (c) ground rent or debt service, (d) depreciation, (e) expenses incurred in leasing, obtaining new tenants or leasing commissions, (f) accounting or legal services (g) costs or expenses for which Landlord is or will be reimbursed or indemnified (whether by an insurer, condemnor, tenant or otherwise), should Landlord be reimbursed, Landlord will credit reimbursement back to Tenant, (h) cost of correcting any applicable building or fire code violation(s) or violations of any other applicable law relating to the Project, and/or the cost of any penalty or fine incurred for noncompliance with the same, if such violation exists as of the Commencement Date and Landlord is deemed responsible for the violation; or (i) costs for entertainment or building promotional expenses.
(E) In addition to the above-listed expense exclusions, Landlord has agreed that in no event will the total controllable Operating Costs passed through to Tenant in any year be greater than five percent (5%) more than such expenses passed through to Tenant during the prior year (“Expense Cap”). For purposes of this Section, “controllable Operating Costs” shall include all Operating Costs other than taxes, utilities and insurance. Calculation of the Expense Cap shall be done on a cumulative basis from the Base Year.
§3.03 When Due and Payable.
(A) All rental obligations set forth in the foregoing provisions and elsewhere in this Lease, except for Base Rent, shall be referred to hereinafter as “Additional Rent.” All Base Rent and Additional Rent are sometimes hereinafter together referred to as “Rent.”

5.
(C) Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent within 30 days after being billed therefor by Landlord. However, Landlord may, at its discretion, (a) make from time to time during the Term a reasonable estimate of the Additional Rent which may become due for any year, (b) require the Tenant to pay to the Landlord such Additional Rent in equal installments at the time and in the manner that the Tenant is required hereunder to pay monthly installments of Base Rent, and (c) at the Landlord’s reasonable discretion, increase or decrease from time to time during such year the amount initially estimated for such year, all by giving the Tenant written notice thereof. In such event, the Landlord shall cause the actual amount of such Additional Rent to be calculated, and the Tenant or the Landlord shall within 30 days pay to the other the amount of any deficiency or overpayment, whichever the case may be.
(D) Landlord shall have the right to apply any payment of Rent by Tenant to any amounts outstanding in any order at Landlord’s sole discretion. Acceptance by Landlord of any partial payment of Rent shall not be deemed a waiver or satisfaction of the Tenant’s obligation to timely pay when due all remaining amounts of Rent hereunder, which shall remain due in their entirety according to the terms of this Lease.
§3.04 Proration. All items of Rent shall be prorated for any month during the Term which is not a full calendar month or in which two different rental rates are applicable. If only part of any calendar year falls within the Term, the amount computed as Additional Rent for such calendar year under the foregoing provisions of this section shall be appropriately prorated, but the expiration of the Term before the end of a calendar year shall not limit the Tenant’s obligation hereunder to pay the prorated portion of Additional Rent applicable to that portion of such calendar year falling within the Term.

Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with the Landlord the Security Deposit, which shall be retained by the Landlord as security for the Tenant’s payment of Rent and performance of all of its other obligations under the provisions of this Lease. On the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined herein), the Landlord shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to (i) apply any or all of such sum in payment of any Rent then due and unpaid, any expense incurred by the Landlord in curing any such default, and/or any damages incurred by the Landlord by reason of such default (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees), in which event Tenant shall immediately restore the amount so applied, and/or (ii) to retain any or all of such sum in liquidation of any or all damages suffered by the Landlord by reason of such default. However, the foregoing shall not serve in any event to limit the rights, remedies and damages accruing to Landlord under Article XIII or any other provision of this Lease on account of default by Tenant. Within 90 days after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessor shall return that portion of the Security Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. No part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be held in trust, to bear interest or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this Lease.
6.
§3.07 If Tenant’s actual Percentage of Operating Costs for a given year exceeds the estimated payments made by Tenant for such year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the deficiency within 30 days following, receipt of notice to Tenant of the amount due and a statement of accounting for such expenses. If Tenant’s estimated payments for a given year exceed Tenant’s actual Percentage of Operating Costs for such year, Tenant shall be entitled to offset the excess against the next rental payments due to Landlord under this Lease if the Lease is still in effect. If the Lease has terminated, any such excess shall be refunded to Tenant at the same time that Landlord issues its statement of accounting to Tenant. Landlord will notify Tenant by March 1 of each year with the Tenants actual Pro-Rata share of Operating Costs.
§3.08 The amount of actual Operating Costs for the Base Year shall be determined by dividing the greater of (A) (i) Operating Costs actually paid or incurred by Landlord for the Base Year or (ii) Operating Costs that would have been paid or incurred if 95% of the rentable area of the Project were occupied for the Base Year by (B) the rentable area of the Project.
§3.09 Landlord shall maintain books and records of all Operating Costs and shall permit Tenant to audit Landlord’s statements for any annual period no earlier than April 1 of the following year for any previous calendar year and provided that Tenant has paid actual Percentage of Operating Costs in any previous year during Tenants lease term. If Tenant elects to audit such books and records, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant, and any deficiency or overpayment disclosed by such audit shall be promptly paid or refunded the case may be. To the extent that an audit discloses calculation errors or misstatements which affect prior years, an expense adjustment will be made which will reflect all years affected by such errors. If any such audit discloses that the total Operating Costs billed to Tenant were overstated by more than 5% of the total actual Operating Costs, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of such audit.

Tenant shall deliver to Landlord quarterly financial statements within 30 days of the close of each calendar quarter or, if applicable, within 30 days after Tenant’s unrestricted cash position falls below $2,000,000.00, in each case, as prepared by Tenant in its customary financial reporting to Tenant’s lender. Such financial statements shall include a calculation of Tenants unrestricted cash position. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Tenant, Landlord agrees:
12.
(A) except as required by law, to keep all Tenant financial statements confidential and not to disclose or reveal such financial statements to any person other than those employed by Landlord or on its behalf who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation of Tenant’s unrestricted cash position and to cause those persons to observe the terms of this Section; and
(B) not to use Tenant financial statements for any purpose, other than in connection with evaluation of Tenant’s unrestricted cash position.
In the event that Landlord is requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law or regulation or by legal process to disclose any Tenant financial statements, Landlord agrees that it will provide Tenant with prompt notice of such request(s). Without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available to Tenant, Tenant will be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction if Landlord or any of its employees, agents, consultants or representatives breach or threaten to breach any of the provisions of this Section.
§8.02 Credit Event. If Tenant’s unrestricted cash position falls below $2,000,000.00 as indicated in any Tenant financial statement (a “Credit Event”), Landlord may deliver notice of such Credit Event (the “Credit Notice”) to Tenant demanding that Tenant either provide evidence that Tenant’s unrestricted cash position is greater than or equal to $2,000,000.00 or Tenant provide the Credit Enhancement (defined below). Such Credit Event shall be deemed an Event of Default if, within 90 days of delivery of the Credit Notice, (a) Tenant’s does not provide subsequent financial statements indicating an unrestricted cash position greater than or equal to $2,000,000.00 or (b) Tenant does not provide the Credit Enhancement (defined below) to Landlord.
§8.03 Credit Enhancement. The “Credit Enhancement” shall mean a Letter of Credit from an FDIC approved financial institution in an amount equal to product of twelve multiplied by the monthly Base Rent amount as of delivery of the Credit Notice. Such Credit Enhancement shall be to the benefit of Landlord which Landlord may draw upon in the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable cure period under the Lease. The Credit Enhancement shall remain in effect until Tenant delivers two consecutive quarterly financial statements indicating that Tenant’s unrestricted cash position is greater than or equal to $2,000,000.00. Following such delivery of consecutive financial statements, Landlord shall return the Credit Enhancement to Tenant. Such Credit Enhancement shall provide that Landlord may draw on the Credit Enhancement by furnishing a sight draft in the amount demanded together with a statement certified by Landlord that (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Lease, or Landlord is barred by any applicable, bankruptcy or creditors’ rights law from declaring an Event of Default has occurred, and (2) Landlord is entitled to the requested amount as either payment of any sum in default or as reimbursement for any sum which Landlord was required to spend by reason of default by Tenant under this Lease. The Credit Enhancement shall be valid for at least one (1) year and Tenant shall cause the Credit Enhancement to be renewed no later than thirty (30) days prior to its expiration date and any renewal shall be for at least one (1) year. If Tenant fails to renew an expiring Credit Enhancement (and furnish Landlord the renewal document) at least thirty (30) days prior to an expiration, Landlord, with not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant, shall be entitled thereafter to draw upon the Credit Enhancement in the full amount of the Credit
13.
Enhancement (unless a renewal or replacement Credit Enhancement is provided during said ten (10) day period) in which event Landlord shall retain said money as a cash security deposit hereunder. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may collaterally assign the Credit Enhancement to Landlord’s Mortgagee and such Mortgagee will have the same rights to draw on the Credit Enhancement as Landlord has pursuant to this Lease. Any draw or other action in regard to the Credit Enhancement taken by Landlord’s Mortgagee shall be deemed, for purposes of this Lease, as a draw or other action taken by Landlord. Landlord shall assign the Credit Enhancement to any successor in interest to Landlord’s interest in this Lease.
ARTICLE IX - CASUALTIES
§9.01 General. If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty during the Term, then the following shall apply:
(A) The Landlord shall restore the Premises with reasonable promptness, taking into account the time required by the Landlord to effect a settlement with, and to procure any insurance proceeds from, any insurer against such casualty, to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such casualty. Landlord may temporarily enter and possess any or all of the Premises for such purpose. The Landlord shall not be obligated to repair, restore or replace any fixture, improvement, alteration, furniture or other property owned or installed by the Tenant.
(B) The times for commencement and completion of any such restoration shall be extended for the period of any delay arising due to force majeure causes beyond the Landlord’s control. If the Landlord undertakes to restore the Premises, but such restoration cannot be accomplished within 90 days after the date of casualty, as determined by estimate of Landlord upon such casualty, then Tenant may terminate this lease by giving written notice thereof to the Landlord within 15 days after receipt of such estimate from Landlord.
(C) From the time of such casualty to the completion of restoration as described above, Tenant’s rental obligations shall be abated proportionately from that portion of the Premises which is rendered untenantable as a result of the casualty.
§9.02 Substantial Destruction. Anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this section to the contrary notwithstanding:
(A) If during the Term the Building is so damaged by fire or other casualty that (a) either the Premises or the Building are rendered substantially unfit for occupancy, as reasonably determined by the Landlord, or (b) the Building is damaged to the extent that the Landlord elects to demolish the Building, or if any mortgagee or lender requires that any or all of the insurance proceeds issued on account thereof be used to retire any or all of the debt secured by its mortgage, then in any such case the Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice thereof to the Tenant within 60 days after such date; and
(B) In such event, (1) the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the Base Rent and any Additional Rent payable by the Tenant hereunder and accrued through the date of such casualty, (2) the Landlord shall repay to the Tenant any and all prepaid Rent for periods beyond such casualty, and (3) the Landlord may enter upon and repossess the Premises without further notice provided that Tenant is given a reasonable time to remove its property from the Premises.
14.
§9.03 Tenant’s Negligence. Anything contained in any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such damage to the Premises, the Building or Project are caused by or result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Tenant or any of its employees, contractors, agents or licensees, then (a) the Rent shall not be abated or apportioned as aforesaid, and (b) the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, the cost of any repairs and restoration made or to be made as a result of such damage, except if and to the extent that such costs are covered under Landlord’s property insurance.
ARTICLE X - CONDEMNATION
§10.01 Right to Award. If any or all of the Premises are taken by the exercise of any power of eminent domain or are conveyed to or at the direction of any governmental entity under a threat of any such taking (each of which a “Condemnation”), the Landlord shall be entitled to collect from the condemning authority thereunder the entire amount of any award or consideration for such conveyance, without deduction therefrom for any leasehold or other estate held by the Tenant under this Lease. The Landlord shall be entitled to conduct any condemnation proceeding and any settlement connected therewith free of interference from the Tenant, and the Tenant hereby waives any right which it has to participate therein. However, the Tenant may seek, in a separate proceeding, a separate award on account of any damages or costs incurred by the Tenant as a result of any such Condemnation, so long as such separate award in no way diminishes any award or payment which the Landlord would otherwise receive as a result of such Condemnation.
§10.02 Effect of Condemnation. If (a) all of the Premises are covered by a Condemnation, or (b) any part of the Premises is covered by a Condemnation and the remainder is insufficient for the reasonable operation of the Tenant’s business, or (c) any of the Buildings is covered by a Condemnation and, in the Landlord’s reasonable opinion, it would be impractical to restore the remainder thereof, or (d) any of the rest of the Project is covered by a Condemnation and, in the Landlord’s reasonable opinion, it would be impractical to continue to operate the remainder of the Project thereafter, then, in any such event, the Term shall terminate on the date on which possession of the property covered by such Condemnation is taken by the condemning authority thereunder, and all Rent (including any Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder) shall be apportioned and paid to such date. If there is a Condemnation and the Term does not terminate pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection, the operation and effect of this Lease shall be unaffected by such Condemnation, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the square footage of floor area, if any, o F the Premises covered by such Condemnation.
§10.03 Interruption. If there is a Condemnation, the Landlord shall have no liability to the Tenant on account of any (a) interruption of the Tenant’s business upon the Premises, (b) diminution in the Tenant’s ability to use the Premises, or (c) other injury or damage sustained by the Tenant as a result of such Condemnation.
15.
ARTICLE XI - ASSIGNMENT/SUBLETTING
§11.01 Actions Covered. Any assignment by Tenant of this Lease or its rights hereunder, any subletting of the Premises and any license, mortgage, pledge or other transfer of any part of the Premises or any of Tenant’s interests therein or under this Lease shall all be referred to hereinafter as a “Transfer.” Furthermore, the sale, assignment or other transfer of any direct or indirect controlling interest in the Tenant (if a corporation), the sale, assignment or other transfer of any general partnership interest in Tenant (if a partnership), the sale, assignment or other transfer of any managing membership interest in Tenant (if a limited liability company), the sale of substantially all of Tenant’s assets, and the merger or consolidation of Tenant into another organization or the reorganization or dissolution of Tenant, after which Tenant shall not be the surviving corporation or partnership, shall each be considered a “Transfer” for the purposes of this Lease.
§11.02 Restrictions. Tenant shall not Transfer this Lease or the Premises without first obtaining the Landlord’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that Tenant proposes any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at least 30 days before the date on which the Transfer is to be effective and, as included with such notice, furnish Landlord with (i) the name of the entity receiving such Transfer (the “Transferee”), (ii) a detailed description of the business of the Transferee, (iii) audited financial statements of the Transferee, (iii) all written agreements governing the Transfer, (iv) any other information reasonably requested by the Landlord with respect to the Transfer or the Transferee, and (v) an amount, to be established, for Landlord’s costs to be incurred in connection with the review and processing of such documentation. Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request for approval or disapproval of the Transfer within 20 days after Landlord receives the request and all documents and information required above.
§11.03 Liability to Landlord. Tenant hereby agrees that notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, and regardless of whether or not Landlord’s consent is required hereunder, no Transfer shall be valid or effective unless and until the Transferee agrees in a written document, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, that the Transferee shall (1) in the case of a subletting of any part of the Premises, observe and perform all duties, obligations and liabilities of the Tenant under the terms of this Lease as such terms relate to the space subleased, or (2) in the case of all other Transfers, observe and perform all duties, obligations and liabilities of the Tenant under the terms of this Lease. In addition, no Transfer of any kind, regardless of whether or not Landlord’s consent thereto is required hereunder, shall serve to relieve or release the Tenant in any way from full and direct liability for the timely performance of all of the Tenant’s duties and obligations under this Lease.
§11.04 Excess Rents. In the event that Tenant effects any Transfer and at any time receives rent and/or other consideration on a periodic basis which exceeds that which Tenant is obligated to pay to Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of such excess rent or other consideration when and as received by Tenant, however, not later than 30 days after receipt of such excess consideration.
16.
§11.05 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises without Landlord’s consent to any corporation or business entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to a corporation or other business entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires substantially all of the Tenant’s business assets in the State where the Premises are located as a going concern. Tenant shall be required to notify Landlord in writing within 30 days of such assignment or sublet and the basic terms of such arrangement.
§11.06 Landlord’s Transfers. Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to assign or transfer its interest in this Lease to purchasers of the Building, to holders of mortgages or deeds of trust on the Building, or to any other party, in which event Landlord shall be released from all duties, obligations and liabilities arising hereunder after the assignment or transfer becomes effective.
ARTICLE XII - RULES & REGULATIONS
§12.01 Landlord’s Rules. The Landlord shall have the right to impose and subsequently modify, from time to time and at its sole discretion, reasonable rules and regulations (hereinafter referred to as the “Rules and Regulations,” attached as “Exhibit C”) having uniform applicability to all tenants of the Building (subject to the provisions of their respective leases) and governing their use and enjoyment of the Building and the remainder of the Project, including all parking areas. The Tenant and its agents, employees, invitees and licensees shall comply with such Rules and Regulations. Any rules or regulations the application of which would conflict with any provisions of this Lease or with any rights granted to Tenant hereunder will be deemed waived as to Tenant to the extent necessary to protect Tenant’s interests hereunder.
ARTICLE XIII - MORTGAGE LENDERS
§13.01 Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lien, operation and effect of each mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease and/or other similar instrument covering any or all of the Premises or the Project, and each renewal, modification or extension thereof (each of which referred to as a “Mortgage”), all automatically and without the necessity of any further action by either party hereto, provided, however, that in the event the beneficiary under any such Mortgage (referred to as a “Mortgagee”) succeeds to the interest of Landlord hereunder through foreclosure or otherwise, such Mortgagee shall honor this Lease and not disturb Tenant in its possession of the Premises except upon an Event of Default (defined in § 14.01 below). In addition, Tenant shall attorn to any such Mortgagee and agrees that such Mortgagee shall not be liable to Tenant for any defaults by Landlord under this Lease or for any other event occurring prior to such Mortgagee’s succeeding to the interest of Landlord hereunder; provided, that if such defaults continue following Mortgagee succeeding to Landlord’s interest, Tenant may give notice of such defaults to Mortgagee as successor Landlord and if not rectified within 30 days, Mortgagee shall be responsible for the continuing defaults.
§13.02 Written Agreement. The Tenant shall, within 15 days after request by the Landlord or any Mortgagee, execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instrument as is reasonably acceptable to Tenant, Landlord and Mortgagee to acknowledge the rights of the parties described in §l 3.01 above and providing such other information and certifications as is reasonably requested. Any Mortgagee may at any time subordinate the lien of its Mortgage to the
17.
operation and effect of this Lease without obtaining the Tenant’s consent thereto, in which event this Lease shall be deemed to be senior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery and/or recordation among the land records of the jurisdiction in which the Project is located.
§13.03 Estoppel Certificate. The Tenant shall from time to time, within 15 calendar days after request by the Landlord or any Mortgagee, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Landlord (or, at the Landlord’s request, to any existing or prospective purchaser, assignee or Mortgagee) a written certification (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there has been any modification, stating the nature of such modification), (b) as to the dates to which the Base Rent and any Additional Rent and other charges arising hereunder have been paid, (c) as to the amount of any prepaid Rent or any credit due to the Tenant hereunder, (d) that the Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises and all improvements thereto are as required hereunder, and the date on which the Term commenced, (e) as to whether, to Tenant’s actual knowledge, the Landlord or the Tenant is then in default in performing any of its obligations hereunder (and, if so, specifying the nature of each such default), and (f) as to any other fact or condition reasonably requested by the Landlord or such other party. Any such certificate may be relied upon by the Landlord and any such other party to whom the certificate is directed.
§13.04 SNDA. Landlord represents that as of the execution of this Lease, the only holder of a lien of any kind on the Project that is superior to this Lease (including, without limitation, any lessor under a ground lease) is Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC. Within 60 days following the Commencement Date, Landlord will deliver to Tenant a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement executed by such superior lien holder agreeing in substance that, so long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease, its tenancy and all of its rights hereunder will not be disturbed throughout the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof. Said non-disturbance agreement shall be of form and content used and accepted by Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC.

§14.02 Grace Period. Anything contained in the provisions of this article to the contrary notwithstanding, on the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Landlord shall not exercise any right or remedy which it holds under any provision of this Lease or applicable law unless and until:
(A) The Landlord has given written notice thereof to the Tenant, and
(B) The Tenant has failed, (1) if such Event of Default consists of a failure to pay money, to pay all of such money within 5 days after such notice, or (2) if such Event of Default consists of something other than a failure to pay money, to fully cure such Event of Default within 30 days after such notice or, if such Event of Default cannot be cured within 30 days and Tenant commences to cure same within 15 days, to fully cure such Event of Default within a commercially reasonable time period.
(C) No such notice shall be required, and the Tenant shall be entitled to no such grace period, (1) in any emergency situation in which the Landlord acts to cure such Event of Default pursuant to the provisions of subsection (B) in §14.03 below, or (2) if the Tenant has substantially terminated or is in the process of substantially terminating its continuous occupancy and use of the Premises, or (3) in the case of any Event of Default enumerated in the provisions of subsection (B), items (1), (3), (4), (5), (6) or (7) in §14.01 above.
§14.03 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Landlord may (subject to § 14.02 above) take any or all of the following actions:
(A) Sell at public or private sale all or any part of the fixtures, equipment, inventory and other property belonging to Tenant and in which the Landlord has a lien by grant from Tenant, statute or otherwise, at which sale Landlord shall have the right to become the purchaser upon being the highest bidder, and apply the proceeds of such sale, first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of seizing and storing such property and conducting the sale (including all attorneys’ fees), second, toward the payment of any indebtedness, including (without limitation) that for Rent, which may be or may become due from Tenant to Landlord, and, third, to pay Tenant any surplus remaining after all indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord including expenses has been fully paid;

(D) With or without terminating this Lease, and from time to time, make such improvements, alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Premises, and relet he Premises or any part thereof upon such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions (which may include concessions, free rent and/or improvements) as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable; and, upon each such reletting, all rentals received by Landlord shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, second, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such reletting (including but not limited to brokerage fees, attorneys’ fees and costs of improvements, alterations and repairs), third, to the payment of all Rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the balance, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder;
(E) Enforce any provision of the Lease or any other agreement between the parties by injunction, temporary restraining order or other similar equitable remedy, to which the Tenant hereby expressly consents and agrees; and/or
(F) Exercise any other legal or equitable right or remedy which it may have by law or otherwise.
No reentry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding that Landlord may have re-leased the Premises without termination, Landlord may at anytime thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for any previous default. If the Premises or any part thereof is re-leased, Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished by reason of, any failure by Landlord to relet the Premises or any failure by Landlord to collect any rent due upon such reletting. No action taken by the Landlord under the provisions of this section shall operate as a waiver of any right which the Landlord would otherwise have against the Tenant for the Rent hereby reserved or otherwise, and the Tenant shall at all times remain responsible to the Landlord for any loss and/or damage suffered by the Landlord by reason of any Event of Default.
§14.04 Damages. Upon any Event of Default, Tenant shall remain liable to the Landlord for the following amounts: (a) any Rent of any kind whatsoever which may have become due with respect to the period in the Term which has already expired, (b) all Rent which becomes due during the remainder of the Term less the actual net rent collected by Landlord from successor Tenant(s) for the Premises of which such collections will be reimbursed to Tenant upon receipt, (c) all unamortized costs, fees and expenses incurred by Landlord for leasing commissions, construction and other build-out, design and permitting costs for any replacement tenant incurred during the term of this Lease in the event Tenant does not complete the full term of the Lease and (d) all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in pursuit of its remedies hereunder,
20.
including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and court costs. All such amounts shall be due and payable immediately upon demand by Landlord and shall bear interest at 15% per annum until paid. Furthermore, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall be obligated to pay, in lieu of item (b) above in this § 14.04, an amount (the “Substitute Amount”) which is equal to (i) the present value (calculated using a rate equal to the yield on the 10-year United States Treasury as most recently published in the Wall Street Journal at the time of such calculation) of all Rent which would become due during the remainder of the Term, including all Additional Rent which shall be deemed to continue and increase over such remainder of the Term at the average rate of increase occurring over the then-expired portion of the Term, with such present value to be determined by discounting at an annual rate of interest which is equal to the bond-equivalent yield for the most recent auction of U.S. Treasury Bills with a 1-year maturity less (ii) the actual net rent collected by Landlord from successor Tenant for the Premises for the remainder of the Term. Any suit or action brought by Landlord to collect any such liquidated damages shall not in any manner prejudice any other rights or remedies of Landlord hereunder.
