If the Premises are rendered partially untenantable by fire or other casualty, and if such damage cannot, in Lessor's reasonable estimation, be materially restored within ninety (90) days of such damage or if the proceeds of any applicable insurance are not made available to Lessor, then Lessor may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the casualty. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated during the period that the Premises are untenantable in proportion to the reduction of tenantability during the period of restoration. Otherwise, Lessor may, at its election, restore the Premises to tenantable condition, in which event it shall give written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the casualty of Lessor’s election to restore.

c. Restoration. If Lessor elects to restore, it shall proceed with reasonable diligence, subject to delays from causes beyond its reasonable control. In no event shall the Lessor be required to restore any Alterations to the Premises made by or on behalf of the Tenant which may be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty.

17. INSURANCE; SUBROGATION.

a. Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant agrees to purchase, in advance, and to carry in full force and effect during the Lease Term: (i) “All risk” property insurance covering the full replacement value of all of Tenant’s leasehold improvements, trade fixtures and personal property within the Premises, and (ii) commercial general liability insurance, providing coverage on an “occurrence” rather than a “claims made” basis, which policy shall include coverage for Bodily Injury, Property Damage, Personal Injury, Contractual Liability (applying to this Lease), and Independent Contractors, in current Insurance Services Office form or other form which provides coverage at least as broad. Tenant shall maintain a combined policy limit of at least $1,000,000 applying to Bodily Injury, Property Damage and Personal Injury, which limit may be satisfied by Tenant’s basic policy, or by the basic policy in combination with umbrella or excess policies so long as the coverage is at least as broad as that required herein. Such liability, umbrella and/or excess policies may be subject to aggregate limits so long as the aggregate limits have not at any pertinent time been reduced to less than the policy limit stated above, and provided further that any umbrella or excess policy provides coverage from the point that such aggregate limits in the basic policy become reduced or exhausted. Lessor shall be named as additional insured under all such policies. At least ten (10) days prior to entry by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Lessor evidence that the insurance required by this Lease is in full force and effect. At least ten (10) days prior to expiration of any such coverage, Tenant shall deliver evidence that the coverage in question will be renewed or replaced upon expiration. Such evidence of insurance shall contain sufficient information to enable Lessor to determine whether Tenant’s insurance complies with the requirements of this Lease. Upon request, Tenant shall also furnish insurer-certified copies of all pertinent policies. All policies used to provide the coverage required by this Lease shall (i) be endorsed to require the insurer to provide at least ten (10) days’ notice to Lessor prior to cancellation or non-renewal, and (ii) be issued by financially sound companies having an A.M. Best Company rating of at least A:VII. Tenant may not maintain any insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss unless Lessor is named therein as loss payee or additional insured.

x. Xxxxxx’x Insurance. Lessor agrees to purchase or to cause the Property Manager to purchase in advance, and to carry in full force and effect during the Lease Term: (i) “All risk” property insurance coverage on the Project, exclusive of the leasehold and other improvements of the owners and tenants in the Project, in such amount as Lessor deems prudent, (ii) commercial general liability insurance covering the Project, in a combined single limit amount of at least $1,000,000, and written on an “occurrence” basis, and (iii) rent loss insurance with respect to the Premises with respect to such exposures and perils in an amount equal to the Rent payable hereunder for a period of not more than twelve (12) months. Tenant shall reimburse Lessor for the premiums and other expenses of maintaining such policies as additional rent if such costs and expenses are not otherwise included in Operating Costs.

c. Alternate Coverage. If any insurance required hereunder ceases to be available, or is available on terms so unacceptable that prudent lessors or tenants, as the case may be, generally do not carry such insurance, then in lieu of such insurance, the pertinent party may carry the most comparable insurance which is available and generally carried by prudent parties.

d. Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any Provision of this Lease to the contrary, Lessor and Tenant each hereby release the other, the Property Manager and the other owners of the Project and the managers, governors, employees, members of the other, the Property Manager and the other owners of the Project from any and all liability or responsibility to the other or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise for any loss or damage to property caused by fire or any of the extended coverage casualties covered by the insurance required to be maintained hereunder, even if such loss or damage shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the other party or anyone for whom such party may be responsible; provided, however, that this release shall be applicable and in force and effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such times as the releasor’s policies shall contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that any release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies or prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder. Lessor and Tenant each agree that it will request its insurance carriers to include in its policies such a clause or endorsement. The releases contained herein shall be mutually dependent covenants, and the termination of one shall terminate the other.

e. Assumption of Responsibility. Tenant assumes all responsibility for protecting the Premises from theft, robbery and pilferage, which includes keeping doors locked and other means of entry to the Premises closed and secured after normal business hours. Lessor reserves the right to impose such security restrictions in the Common Areas as it deems appropriate. The parties acknowledge that safety and security devices, services and programs provided by Lessor, if any, while intended to deter crime and promote safety, may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts, or ensure safety of persons or property. The risk that any safety or security device, service or program may not be effective, or may malfunction, or be circumvented by a criminal, is assumed by Tenant with respect to Tenant property and interest, and Tenant shall obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts and other losses, as further described in this Lease. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any reasonable safety or security program developed by Lessor or required by law.

18. WAIVER; INDEMNIFICATION; HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

a. Waiver. Notwithstanding anything apparently to the contrary in this Lease, Lessor and its members, managers, employees and property manager shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby releases such parties from all damage, compensation or claims from any cause other than the negligent act or intentional misconduct of Lessor or its members, managers, employees or property manager arising from: loss or damage to personal property or trade fixtures in the Premises, including books, records, files, computer equipment, computer data, money, securities, negotiable instruments or other papers; lost business or other consequential damage arising out of interruption in the use of the Premises; and any criminal act by any person other than Lessor or its members, managers or employees.

b. Indemnification. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor and its members, managers, employees and property manager harmless from and against any claim, loss or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees arising out of injury, death or property loss or damage occurring in the Premises, except to the extent caused by the negligent act or intentional misconduct of Lessor or its members, managers, employees or property manager. Tenant further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor and its members, managers, employees and property manager harmless from and against any claim, loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of any claim by the Existing Tenant or any of Tenant’s subtenants with respect to the breach of the Existing Lease, Parking Leases or any sublease or the occurrence of any event on or after the Effective Date.

c. Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not install, use, generate, store or dispose of in or about the Premises any hazardous substance, toxic chemical, pollutant or other material regulated by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or any similar law or regulation, including without limitation any material containing asbestos, PCB, CFC or HCFC (collectively “Hazardous Materials”) without Lessor’s prior written approval of each Hazardous Material. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of use by Tenant of reasonable quantities of Hazardous Materials customarily used in office business operations so long as Tenant uses such Hazardous Materials in accordance with all applicable laws. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor harmless from and against any claim, damage or expense arising out of Tenant’s installation, use, generation, storage, or disposal of any Hazardous Materials, regardless of whether Lessor has approved the activity. To the best of Lessor knowledge, there are either no Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Project or the presence of any such Hazardous Materials complies with applicable laws.

19. EMINENT DOMAIN. If the entire Project is taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of taking. If a portion of the Project is taken by eminent domain, Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date of taking. If a portion of the Premises is taken by eminent domain and this Lease is not terminated by Lessor, Lessor shall, at its expense, restore the Premises, exclusive of any Alterations made to the Premises by Tenant, to as near the condition which existed immediately prior to the date of taking as reasonably possible, and Base Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx during such period of time as the Premises are untenantable, in the proportion that the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the entire Premises. All damages awarded for a taking under the power of eminent domain, whether for the whole or a part of the Premise, shall belong to, and be the property of Lessor, whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution in value to the leasehold estate hereby created or to the fee of the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor shall not be entitled to any separate award made to Tenant for loss of business, fair value of, and cost of removal of stock and futures and for relocation. The term “eminent domain” shall include the exercise of any similar governmental power and any purchase or other acquisition in lieu of condemnation.

20. HOLDING OVER. Should Tenant, or any of its successors in interest, continue to occupy the Premises or any part thereof, after the expiration or termination of this Lease, whether with or without the consent of Lessor, such tenancy shall be from month to month and the monthly Rent shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) that which would otherwise be payable under this Lease. If Tenant’s holdover is without the consent of Lessor, neither this Section nor the acceptance of any Rent hereunder shall prevent Lessor from exercising any remedy to regain immediate possession of the Premises.

21. QUIET ENJOYMENT/LESSOR REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND COVENANTS.

a. Lessor covenants that if Tenant timely pays all Rent provided for in this Lease, performs all of its obligations provided for under this Lease, and observes all of the other Provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy the possession of the Premises in accordance with the Provisions of this Lease without any interruption or disturbance from Lessor. Lessor shall not be responsible or liable for the actions of third parties, including the Existing Tenant and any other owners or tenants in the Project. The liability of the original Lessor and any successor Lessor under this Lease is limited to its interest in the Project and any insurance proceeds payable to Lessor with respect to the Project, and with respect to any liability accrued prior to a transfer, any net proceeds received by the transferor Lessor in consideration of the transfer.

b. In addition to the covenant of quiet enjoyment set forth in Section 21(a) above, Lessor covenants that Lessor shall not amend, modify or alter in any way the terms of the REA if such amendment, modification or alteration will have a material adverse effect on the Tenant’s rights or obligations under this Lease without Tenant’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

22. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease:

a. Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Base Rent, Additional Rent and/or any other sums that Tenant is obligated to pay by any provision of this Lease when and as they become due and payable hereunder, which failure is not cured within five (5) days after the giving of notice thereof by Lessor, such notice being in lieu of, and not in addition to, any applicable statutory notice;

b. Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other Provision of this Lease, which failure is not cured within fifteen (15) days after the giving of notice thereof by Lessor unless such default is of such nature that it cannot be cured within such fifteen (15) day period, in which case no event of default shall occur so long as (i) Tenant shall commence the curing of the default within such fifteen (15) day period and shall thereafter complete the curing thereof with reasonable diligence and continuity, and (ii) the continuation of the default does not create material risk to the Project or to persons using the Project;

c. If Tenant fails more than twice within any twelve (12) month period to observe or perform any Provision of this Lease (including, without limitation, the payment of Rent), regardless of whether such defaults shall have been cured by Tenant, the third default shall, at the election of Lessor, in its sole and absolute discretion, be deemed a noncurable event of default;

d. Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

e. Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall file a petition under any section or chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof, or Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant thereunder.

f. A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease.

g. Tenant shall desert, vacate or abandon any substantial portion of the Premises.

23. LESSOR’S REMEDIES.

a. Tenant hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Lessor by law or by other Provisions of this Lease, Lessor shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the remedies set forth herein without any notice or demand.

(1) The Lessor may, but shall not be required to, make the payment and/or perform the duty or obligation of Tenant hereunder giving rise to such event of default and to enter the Premises as appropriate in connection therewith without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer and without incurring any liability for any damage resulting therefrom, and Tenant agrees to pay to Lessor as additional rent due hereunder, the amount of any costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in thus effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease plus 15% for overhead incurred by Lessor in connection therewith, together with interest thereon, from the date paid by Lessor, at the lesser of 18% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law; but the making of such payment or the performance of such duty or obligation by Lessor shall not, unless reimbursed by Tenant in accordance with this Lease, operate to cure such default or to estop Lessor from the pursuit of any remedy which Lessor would otherwise be entitled.

(2) Lessor may, at its sole option, terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to Tenant. Neither the passage of time after the occurrence of the event of default nor exercise by Lessor of any other remedy with regard to such event of default shall limit Lessor’s rights to terminate this Lease as provided herein.

(3) Whether or not Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessor may re-enter upon and repossess the Premises (said repossession being hereinafter referred to as “Repossession”) by picking or changing locks, force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may (i) expel or remove Tenant and any other person or entity who may be occupying all or any part of the Premises, and (ii) remove any and all property therefrom, in each case without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry or detainer, and without incurring any liability for any damage resulting therefrom, Tenant hereby waiving any right to claim damage for such Repossession so long as Lessor complies with applicable law in connection with the Repossession. From time to time after Repossession of the Premises, whether or not this Lease has been terminated, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, attempt to relet all or any part of the Premises for the account of Tenant in the name of Lessor or otherwise, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term) and on such terms and conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and for such uses as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, may determine, and may collect and receive the rent therefor. Any rent received shall be applied against Tenant’s obligations hereunder, but Lessor shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. No termination of this Lease or Repossession of the Premises pursuant to this Section or otherwise shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, its liabilities and obligations for Rent and other sums and charges due and payable and to become due and payable hereunder, all of which liabilities and obligations shall survive any such termination or Repossession. In the event of any such termination or Repossession, whether or not the Premises shall have been relet, Tenant shall pay to Lessor the Rent and other sums and charges to be paid by Tenant up to the time of such termination or Repossession, and thereafter Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Lease Term in the absence of such termination or Repossession, shall pay to Lessor, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for Tenant’s default, the equivalent of the amount of the Rent and such other sums and charges which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant if this Lease were still in effect, less the net proceeds actually collected, if any, of any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section after deducting all of Lessor’s expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage fees, management and leasing commissions, advertisement expenses, operating expenses, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, alteration costs, remodeling and repair costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such current damages to Lessor monthly on the days on which the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums and charges would have been payable under this Lease if this Lease were still in effect, and Lessor shall be entitled to recover the same from Tenant on each such day. At the election of Lessor any time after such termination or Repossession, whether or not Lessor shall have collected any current damages as aforesaid, Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Lessor on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant’s default, an amount equal to the then present value of the excess of the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums or charges reserved under this Lease from the date of such termination or Repossession and for what would be the then unexpired Lease Term if the same had remained in effect plus the amount which Lessor estimates in its reasonable judgment to be the cost of any reletting, less the amount of rent which Lessor estimates in its reasonable judgment that Lessor will in all likelihood actually collect for the Premises for the same period, said present value to be arrived at on the basis of a discount rate equal to the “Prime Rate” published in the Wall Street Journal on the date of such election by Lessor. Notwithstanding any other remedy set forth in this Lease, in the event Lessor has made rent concessions of any type or character, or waived any Base Rent, and Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises on the commencement or completion date or otherwise defaults at any time during the term of this Lease, the rent concessions, including any waived Base Rent, shall be canceled and the amount of the Base Rent or other rent concessions shall be due and payable immediately as if no rent concessions or waiver of any Base Rent had ever been granted. A rent concession or waiver of the Base Rent shall not relieve Tenant of any obligation to pay any Additional Rent or other charge due and payable under this Lease.

b. Late Payment Charge; Interest. In the event Lessor does not receive any installment of Base Rent, Additional Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other charge payable hereunder within five days of the date on which it is due, or if any check submitted by Tenant to Lessor is returned for nonsufficient funds, Tenant, unless prohibited by law, shall pay to Lessor, in addition to such amounts owed under this Lease, a late charge in the amount of $250.00 as compensation to Lessor for administrative costs. Also, Lessor retains the right to demand after the occurrence of a default by Tenant hereunder and thereafter while such default continues, rental payments in the form of a certified check, cashier’s check or money order at no cost to Lessor. Any amount not paid by any party to the other party when due hereunder shall accrue interest from the date the same is due and payable and until the same is paid in full at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate permitted by law. The provisions for such late charge and interest shall be in addition to all of Lessor’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Lessor’s remedies in any manner.

c. Attorneys’ Fees. Tenant shall reimburse Lessor for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Lessor in enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of any default of Tenant, or in the collection of any amount due from Tenant under this Lease.

24. SUBORDINATION OF LEASE. For purposes of this Section 24, the term “Mortgage” shall mean at any time, any mortgage of record now or hereafter placed against the Project, any increase, amendment, extension, refinancing or recasting of a Mortgage and, in the case of a sale or lease and leaseback by Lessor of all or any part of the Project, the lease creating the leaseback. For the purposes hereof, a Mortgage shall be deemed to continue in effect after foreclosure thereof until expiration of the period of redemption therefrom. This Lease is subject and subordinate to the lien of any Mortgage which may now or hereafter encumber the Project or any development of which the Project is a part. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after request by Lessor, execute any certificate or other document requested by the holder of the Mortgage for the purpose of confirming the matters set forth in Section 24, but not otherwise materially modifying Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Tenant agrees that in the event that any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any Mortgage, Tenant shall immediately and automatically attorn to the purchaser at such foreclosure sale, as the lessor under this Lease, and Tenant waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law, now or hereafter in effect, which may give or purport to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event that any such foreclosure proceeding is prosecuted or completed. Neither the holder of the Mortgage (whether it acquires title by foreclosure or by deed in lieu thereof) nor any purchaser at foreclosure sale shall be liable for an act or omission of Lessor occurring prior to the date of acquisition of title, nor subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Lessor nor bound by any prepayment by Tenant of more than one month’s installment of Base Rent and Additional Rent nor by any modification of this Lease made subsequent to the granting of the Mortgage unless consented to by the holder of the Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 24, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the holder of the Mortgage and any purchaser at foreclosure sale thereof shall not disturb Tenant’s possession hereunder.

25. NOTICES. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be effective if hand delivered or sent by registered or certified first-class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight express service which maintains confirmation of delivery, (i) if to Lessor at Lessor’s address set forth below, and (ii) if to Tenant, at Tenant’s address set forth below or at the Premises, unless notice of a change of address is given pursuant to the provisions of this Section. The day notice is given by mail shall be deemed to be the day following the day of mailing. If acceptance is refused, as evidenced by the records of the postal service or overnight delivery service, notice shall be deemed given on the date acceptance is refused. Lessor and Tenant shall each have the right at any time and from time to time to designate one (1) additional party to whom copies of any notice shall be sent.

26. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall use the Premises and the Common Areas of the Project in accordance with the Provisions of this Lease and such additional rules and regulations as may from time to time be reasonably made by Lessor for the general safety, comfort and convenience of the owners, occupants and tenants of the Project, including, but not limited to, those set forth on Exhibit E hereto. Tenant shall use its best efforts to cause Tenant’s agents, customers, employees and invitees to abide by such rules and regulations. Lessor shall in no event be responsible to Tenant for enforcement of such rules and regulations against other tenants of the Project.

27. ENERGY; GOVERNMENTAL ACTION. Whenever Lessor is required to keep or perform any Provision of this Lease, Lessor shall be deemed to have kept and performed such Provisions notwithstanding any act or omission taken by the Lessor, if such act or omission is pursuant to any governmental regulations, requirements, directives or requests, or if Lessor deems such action to be for the benefit of our national interest or the general public. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessor may reduce the quantity and quality of all utility and other services and impose such regulations as the Lessor reasonably deems necessary in order to conserve energy, and may change the Usual Business Hours. Utility in the sense of this Section 27 includes, but is not limited to heating, cooling, electricity, water and all the sources of energy needed to provide such.

28. LIGHT AND AIR. Tenant has no right to light or air over any premises adjoining the Project.

29. BROKERAGE FEES. N/A

30. LESSOR’S USE. It is understood that Lessor may occupy portions of the Project in the conduct of the Lessor’s business. In such event, all references herein to other tenants of the Project shall be deemed to include Lessor as an occupant or tenant.

31. MISCELLANEOUS TAXES.

a. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against or levied upon its occupancy of the Premises, or upon the fixtures, furnishings, equipment and personal property of Tenant located in the Premises, if nonpayment thereof shall or would give rise to a lien on the Project or any part thereof, and when possible, Tenant shall cause said fixtures, furnishings, equipment and personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the property of Lessor. In the event any or all of Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings, equipment and personal property, or Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, shall be assessed and taxed with the property of Lessor, Tenant shall pay to Lessor as additional rent hereunder its share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant by Lessor of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings, equipment or personal property, or occupancy of the Premises.

b. If, under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or any political subdivision in which the Premises are situated, a tax or excise on rents or other tax, however described, is levied or assessed against Lessor or all or any part of the Rent reserved hereunder, in addition to, in lieu of or as a substitute in whole or in part for taxes and assessments commonly known as real estate taxes, Tenant shall pay and discharge such tax or excise on rents or other tax, but only to the extent of the amount thereof which is lawfully assessed or imposed upon Lessor, and which was so assessed or imposed as a direct result of Lessor’s ownership of the Premises or of this Lease, or of the rental accruing under this Lease.

32. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

a. Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days after request by Lessor, to deliver to Lessor or Lessor’s designee, including without limitation, the present or any future holder of any mortgage(s) on the Project or the Premises, or any prospective purchaser of the Project or Premises, a written estoppel certificate: (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications; (ii) stating the dates to which the Rent and other charges hereunder have been paid by Tenant; (iii) stating whether or not Lessor is in default in the performance of any Provision of this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default; (iv) agreeing that Tenant and Lessor will not thereafter modify this Lease without the approval of any mortgagee identified by Lessor; (v) agreeing that, except for any security deposit required herein, Tenant shall not prepay any Rent more than 30 days in advance; and (vi) such other matters relating to this Lease as may reasonably be requested. Any such estoppel certificate delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by any owner of the Project, any prospective purchaser of the Project, any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee of the Project or of Lessor’s interest, or any prospective assignee of any such mortgagee. Tenant acknowledges that failure to comply with this Section 32 on a timely basis could result in a loss of a favorable sale or financing and Tenant agrees to be liable for any consequential damages resulting from Tenant’s breach hereunder.

x. Xxxxxx Estoppel Certificates. Lessor agrees, within ten (10) days after request by Tenant, to deliver to Tenant or Tenant’s designee, a completed estoppel certificate certifying items (i)-(vi) of Section 32(a) above.

c. Financial Statements. Tenant shall within ten (10) days after request, but not more often than once in a calendar year, deliver to Lessor its most recent quarterly financial statement, which shall be for the quarter which ends not earlier than 75 days prior to the date of the request, including balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow. Such financial statement shall be audited if an audited financial statement exists, and if unaudited shall be certified by Tenant’s president or chief financial officer to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Unless such financial statements are public, Lessor shall treat such financial statements as confidential, provided that Lessor may disclose them to a bona fide prospective purchaser or mortgagee so long as any such recipient agrees to treat as confidential any such financial statement received.

33. SECURITY INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants to Lessor a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in all property of Tenant now or hereafter placed in or on the Premises, including but not limited to leasehold improvements, trade fixtures, furnishings and inventory. Tenant agrees to execute such financing statements and furnish such information as Lessor may from time to time request in order to perfect this security interest. Lessor may at its election file a copy of this Lease as a financing statement. Lessor, as secured party, shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Lessor’s security interest is and shall remain subject and subordinate to any lien securing bona fide purchase money financing of any of the property in question in favor of a party unaffiliated with Tenant.

34. LESSOR DEFAULT. If Lessor defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant may give Lessor written notice thereof and Lessor shall have thirty (30) days after Lessor’s receipt of Tenant’s default notice to cure such default; provided, however, that if such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, Lessor shall have as much time to cure such default as is necessary, provided Lessor promptly commences and diligently pursues such cure; and provided further, that if the default relates to a matter which, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, is of an emergency nature, Lessor shall have only forty-eight (48) hours (or such lesser period as is reasonable under the circumstances) to cure such default. If Lessor fails to cure any such default within such cure period (or, if this Lease elsewhere provides for a shorter cure period, or no cure period, if Lessor commits such a default), it shall be deemed an event of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Tenant, at its option, may cure the default in which event Lessor shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such cure within twenty (20) days of receiving an invoice for such amount from Tenant with reasonable supporting documentation. Any such amount not paid by Lessor when due shall accrue interest from the date the same is due and payable and until the same is paid at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate permitted by law. In addition to the foregoing remedies, the Tenant shall be entitled to such other legal and equitable remedies as may be provided by applicable law.

35. MISCELLANEOUS.

a. Gender. Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires.

b. Binding Effect. This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and, subject to the restrictions and limitations herein contained, upon their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

c. Waiver. Lessor’s acceptance of Rent shall not be an acquiescence to any default nor a waiver of Lessor’s right to enforce the default, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of any default. The acceptance of Rent after the expiration or termination of this Lease or after Lessor’s exercise of the right of re-entry shall not reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or revoke such notice or action on the Lessor’s part or waive Tenant’s default and Lessor’s right to terminate Tenant’s possession. No act or thing done by Lessor or its agents, employees or property manager during or after the Lease Term, including, but not limited to, the explicit acceptance of surrender of the Premises shall constitute a release of Tenant’s liability to perform this Lease.
