8.3 In addition, Tenant shall pay on a monthly basis as additional rent during the Term hereof its Pro Rata Share of the real estate taxes and installments of special assessments levied or assessed with respect to the Building, and the real property described on Exhibit “B” (“Real Estate Taxes”) in the applicable year. In the event of any refund of Real Estate Taxes with respect to a year for which Tenant has paid its Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes, Landlord shall, in Landlord’s discretion, either promptly pay to Tenant its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the refund after deduction of Landlord’s reasonable costs incurred in obtaining such refund, or apply such amount as a credit against Tenant’s future monthly installments of its Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall be paid by Tenant in monthly installments in such amounts as are estimated and billed by Landlord at the beginning of each twelve (12) month period commencing and ending on dates designated by Landlord, each installment being due on the first day of each calendar month.
If at any time during such twelve (12) month period, it shall appear that Landlord has materially underestimated or overestimated Operating Expenses or Real Estate Taxes, Landlord may reestimate Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes and may xxxx Tenant for any deficiency or credit Tenant for any surplus which may have accrued during such twelve (12) month period and thereafter the monthly installment payable by Tenant shall also be adjusted. Within one hundred (100) days after the end of each such twelve (12) month period, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes for such twelve (12) month period and the monthly installments paid or payable shall be adjusted between Landlord and Tenant, and each party hereby agrees that Tenant shall pay Landlord or Landlord shall credit Tenant’ s account (or, if such adjustment is at the end of the Term, pay Tenant), within thirty (30) days of receipt of such statement, the amount of any excess or deficiency in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes paid by Tenant to Landlord during such twelve (12) month period. Failure of Landlord to provide the statement called for hereunder within the time prescribed shall not relieve Tenant from its obligations hereunder.
Provided Tenant is not in monetary default hereunder, in addition to the right to receive a statement of Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes from Landlord as provided for in this Section 8, Tenant shall have the right from time to time (but not exceeding once in any 12 month period) to examine books and records relating to Operating Expenses or Real Estate Taxes for a period of one (1) year following any applicable calendar year. Such examinations shall be performed at Landlord’s offices during normal business hours and on reasonable prior written notice to Landlord. Such examinations shall be performed by direct employees of Tenant and/or certified public accountant. In the event said examination discloses an overpayment by Tenant, Landlord shall credit Tenant’s account in the amount of any overpayment disclosed within thirty (30) days; provided however, that in the event such overpayment cost Tenant in excess of five percent (5%) of Tenant’s actual operating expense liability for any calendar year, Landlord will also reimburse Tenant for the costs of any audit, not to exceed One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00), reasonably incurred by Tenant. In the event Tenant’s examination reveals that the payment of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses or Real Estate Taxes was understated, Tenant shall pay such understated amount to Landlord as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of the audit and shall pay for the cost of the audit. The foregoing obligations shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. In no event shall Tenant employ any person, firm or entity to conduct any such examination hereunder who is paid on a contingency fee basis.

No machinery or equipment shall be bolted or otherwise physically attached to the floors or walls of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by law, Landlord shall have the right, at any time from time to time and upon ten (10) days written notice to Tenant, to either contract for service from a different company or companies providing electricity service to the Premises or continue to contract for service from the current electrical service provider. Landlord shall not be liable for damages for failure of heat, hot or cold water, air conditioning, sewer service, electric current, gas, or any other service by reason of breakdown of plant, equipment, or apparatus, shut-down of any thereof for necessary repairs or alterations or due to unavailability of fuel, water or any other substance or utility, war, civil disturbance, strike, lockout, fire, flood, casualty, governmental regulations, or other conditions beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) any Essential Service (as defined in the following sentence) is discontinued for more than thirty (30) consecutive days following notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord; (ii) such discontinuance results solely from Landlord’s negligent or willful act or omission, and does not also result in whole or in part from any Force Majeure or requirement of governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Premises; and (iii) such discontinuance renders all or any significant portion of the Premises untenantable and all or such portion of the Premises is not used by Tenant for the conduct of its business, then Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent (except to the extent any Additional Rent related to any of Landlord’s services performed in such portion of the Premises) shall thereupon xxxxx, based upon the portion of the Premises so rendered untenantable and not used by Tenant until such discontinuance is remedied. “Essential Service” means any of the following: heating, air-conditioning (as seasonally required), office electricity, water or plumbing. The abatement provided for in this subsection shall not apply to any discontinuance of an Essential Service caused by casualty or condemnation.

Further, the failure of Landlord to obtain certificates or other evidence of insurance from the Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord.

In no event may Tenant publicly advertise or offer all or any portion of the Premises for assignment or sublease without Landlord’s prior written consent and in no event at a rental less than that then sought by Landlord for a direct lease (non-sublease) of comparable space in the Building.

In the event that Landlord shall consent to a subletting of all or any portion of the Premises under a sublease which obligates the subtenant to pay a rental at a rate in excess of Tenant’s Annual Base Rent as set forth in Section 1.13, above, then Landlord and Tenant shall share the excess rental as paid by the subtenant on a 50%/50% basis.
(b) Notwithstanding any of the above provisions of this Section 14 to the contrary, if Tenant notifies Landlord that it desires to enter into a sublease for the entirety of the Premises, and such sublease requires Landlord’s consent hereunder, then Landlord, in lieu of consenting to such sublease or withholding its consent, may elect to terminate this Lease. In such event, this Lease will terminate on the date the sublease -was proposed to be effective, and Landlord may lease such space to any party, including the prospective Transferee identified by Tenant.

Except as specifically set forth herein, any such Corporate Transaction shall not be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 14, be prohibited or require Landlord’s consent. Any Corporate Transaction shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) Tenant and its successor, survivor or purchaser in or other party to the transaction shall remain fully liable during the unexpired term of this Lease; (b) all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including the Permitted Use, shall continue to apply; and (c) the acquiring entity, and/or Tenant in the event Tenant survives the transaction, shall have the financial capability to fulfill the obligations of this Lease. Any Corporate Transaction to which Landlord’s consent is not required and with respect to which the provisions of this paragraph are not complied with shall, at Landlord’s option, be void. In no event shall the public sale of stock in Tenant or its parent or subsidiaries be deemed to constitute a transfer of this Lease.
If Tenant wishes to consummate a Corporate Transaction, Tenant shall submit in writing to Landlord (a) the name and legal composition of the proposed purchaser or other transferee (collectively, the “Purchaser”); (b) the terms and provisions of the proposed Corporate Transaction; and (c) audited financial statements for the two (2) year period immediately preceding the proposed Corporate Transaction and such other information concerning the proposed Purchaser or the financial structure of the Purchaser, as Landlord may reasonably request. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives all such information it shall notify Tenant whether it deems such transaction a Corporate Transaction in accordance with this Paragraph 14.2.
14.3 Name Change.

14.4 No Release of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14, no consent by Landlord to any Lease Transfer or Corporate Transaction shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether occurring before or after such consent, assignment, subletting or other Lease Transfer or Corporate Transaction, and the Transferee or assignee shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the payment of rent (or, in the case of sublease, rent in the amount set forth in the sublease) and for the performance of all other terms and provisions of this Lease. The consent by Landlord to any Lease Transfer or Corporate Transaction shall not relieve Tenant or any such Transferee or assignee from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express prior written consent to any subsequent Lease Transfer or Corporate Transaction. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Lease Transfer or Corporate Transaction.

If the parties undertake to repair the damage to the Premises, the repairs shall commence as soon as reasonably possible following the Event.

Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall not include restoration of structural elements of the Building.
15.2 Damage to Premises not Covered by Insurance.

Such election shall be made by Landlord upon notice to Tenant within 60 days after the occurrence of such casualty. If Landlord elects to restore its work, such work shall not exceed what is required to restore the Premises to a condition similar to that at the time of the original delivery of the Premises to Tenant and, then Tenant shall be required to repair with diligence the remainder of the Premises. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall terminate thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence of such casualty and all rent shall be adjusted as of such uninsurable event. If the Premises are totally damaged and thereby rendered totally untenantable or if the Building shall be so damaged that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access thereto, and if Landlord elects to restore the Premises, Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days following the date of the damage or casualty, cause a contractor or architect selected by Landlord to give notice (the “Restoration Notice”) to Tenant of the date which such contractor or architect reasonably estimates that the restoration of the Premises (excluding any Tenant’s property, Tenant improvements, Landlord’s Work, or other improvements to the Premises) and applicable portions of the Building shall be substantially complete.

15.3 Destruction of the Building. If all or any portion of the Building shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause (regardless of whether the Premises may be affected thereby) to the extent that the cost of restoration thereof would exceed 25% of the amount it would have cost to replace the Building in its entirety at the time such damage or destruction occurred, then Landlord may elect to repair that portion of the Building owned by Landlord within a reasonable time after such damage or destruction, provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to expend for such rebuilding and repairing an amount in excess of the insurance proceeds recovered or recoverable as a result of such damage or destruction, or Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease upon 30 days notice to Tenant, which notice shall be given, if at all, within 60 days after the date of such occurrence.

15.5 Destruction Cancellation. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed to the extent that the cost of the restoration would exceed 25% of the amount it would have cost to replace the Premises in their entirety at the time such damage or destruction occurred, and if the unexpired portion of the Term of this Lease shall be one year or less on the date of the damage or destruction, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant of its election to do so within thirty (30) days after such occurrence. If Landlord exercises such right, then this Lease shall cease as of the date of such notice and all rent and other charges payable by Tenant shall adjusted as of that date.
16. EMINENT DOMAIN,
Except as may be otherwise agreed to by Landlord and Tenant as provided in this Section, if all of the Premises, or such portion of the Premises as renders the remainder impractical for the Permitted Use, are taken by any public authority under the power or threat of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu thereof, then the term of this Lease shall cease as of the date possession shall be taken by such public authority, and Landlord shall make a pro rata refund of any Annual Base Rent that may have been paid in advance. In the event that less than the entire Building is so taken and the Premises are not in that portion of the Building so taken and provided the Premises are not rendered untenantable thereby, then this Lease shall terminate only at the option of Landlord. In the event that only a part of the Premises is so taken and the parties agree that this Lease shall not so terminate, there shall be a pro rata reduction in Annual Base Rent for the period following such taking, and all other terms and provisions hereof shall remain in full effect. All damages awarded for any such taking shall belong to and be the property of Landlord for diminution in value to this leasehold or to the fee of the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be entitled to any portion of the award made to Tenant for loss of business, depreciation to and cost of removal of stock and fixtures.

20.2 Tenant represents, warrants, and covenants to Landlord that:
(a) Tenant will cause the Premises at all times to be and remain in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations (including consent decrees and administrative orders) relating to public health and safety and protection of the environment, including those statutes, laws, regulations, and ordinances identified in subparagraph (f), all as amended and modified from time to time (collectively, “Environmental Laws”). Tenant agrees to obtain and keep in effect all governmental permits and approvals relating to the use or operations of the Premises required by applicable Environmental Laws, and Tenant agrees to comply with the terms of the same.
(b) Tenant will not generate, manufacture, store, treat, transport, release, or dispose of “Hazardous Material,” as that term is defined in subparagraph (f), on, in, under, about or from the Premises or Building, other than in such quantities as are required for the conduct of Tenant’s business as allowed under this Lease, and other than those lawfully incorporated into the Premises, in keeping with good construction practices, as appropriate building materials, and then only in compliance with all Environmental Laws, health, safety, handling, reporting and disclosure laws, regulations and rules.

The costs of such Hazardous Material removal and any other cleanup (including transportation and storage costs) will be additional rent under this Lease, whether or not a court or administrative agency has ordered the cleanup, due and payable on Landlord’s demand. Tenant thereby grants Landlord, its employees, agents and contractors, access to the Premises to remove or otherwise clean up any Hazardous Material.

(a) Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease, or without notice to Tenant re-enter the Premises without terminating this Lease, No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a notice of such intention is given to Tenant (all other demands and notices of forfeiture or other similar notices being hereby expressly waived by Tenant). Upon the service of any such notice of termination, the Term of this Lease shall automatically terminate. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of recovering the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the value at the time of such termination of any rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the term over the then reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of such term, all of which amount shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord.
(b) Landlord may require that, upon any termination of the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession without termination of this Lease, Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord, vacate the same and remove all effects therefrom except those that may not be removed under other provisions of this Lease. If Tenant fails to surrender possession and vacate as aforesaid, Landlord may forthwith re-enter the Premises and expel and remove Tenant and any other persons and property therefrom, using such force as may be reasonably necessary, without being deemed guilty of trespass, eviction, conversion or forcible entry and without thereby waiving Landlord’s rights to rent or any other rights given Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity. If Tenant does not remove all effects from the Premises, Landlord may either declare such effects abandoned and dispose of the same in any reasonable manner without liability to Tenant or any other party, or remove any or all of such effects in any manner it shall choose and store the same without liability to Tenant. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand any expenses incurred in such removal and storage for any length of time during which the same shall be in. Landlord’s possession or in storage.

In no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any surplus of any sums received by Landlord on a reletting in excess of the rental and other charges payable hereunder. If such rentals and other charges received from such reletting during any month are less than those to be paid during that month by Tenant, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord upon demand.

No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the charges herein reserved shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent or other charges, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or on any letter accompanying any check be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction. Landlord shall not be deemed to have accepted payment made to a “lockbox” or other depository until ten (10) days after Landlord’s actual receipt of the payment if, and only if, during said period Landlord did not refund or attempt to refund such payment. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant.

No waiver by Landlord of any breach (including recurrent failure to timely pay rent) by Tenant under this Lease or of any breach by any other tenant under any other lease of any portion of the Building shall affect or alter this Lease in any way whatsoever or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

If Tenant fails to pay such amount or any other charges hereunder or otherwise defaults with respect to any provisions of this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit to the payment thereof or for payment of any other sums for which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage that Landlord may suffer thereby. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount stated in Section 1, above, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest upon the Security Deposit, nor shall Landlord be required to segregate or hold the Security Deposit separate from Landlord’s other funds, but shall carry such sum as a bookkeeping entry only. In the event that Tenant shall fully perform the covenants and provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall refund the Security Deposit, or the unused balance thereof, if any, to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease.
