Tenant acknowledges that the “rentable area of the Premises” under this Lease includes the “usable area”, without deduction for columns or projections, multiplied by a load or conversion factor to reflect a share of certain areas, which may include lobbies, corridors, mechanical, utility, janitorial, boiler and service rooms and closets, restrooms, and other public, common and service areas. Except as provided expressly to the contrary herein, the “rentable area of the Building” shall include all rentable area of all space leased or available for lease at the Building, which Landlord may reasonably re-determine from time to time, to reflect re-configurations, additions or modifications to the Building.
The term (“Term”) of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and end on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated as provided herein.
During any period that Tenant shall be permitted to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date other than to occupy the same (e.g., to perform alternations or improvements), Tenant shall comply with all terms and provisions of this Lease, except those provisions requiring the payment of Rent.
ARTICLE 3: ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES
A.
AS IS. On the Commencement Date, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Premises shall be delivered, and Tenant shall accept the same, in its “AS-IS”, “WHERE-IS” condition “WITH ALL FAULTS” and Landlord shall not be required to perform any work, install any fixtures or equipment or render any services to make the Premises ready or suitable for Tenant’s use or occupancy. No promise of the Landlord to alter, remodel or improve the Premises or the Building and no representation respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by the Landlord to the Tenant. Tenant does hereby expressly acknowledge that Landlord has not made and does not make any representations or warranties expressed or implied, with respect to the Premises (including, without limitation, warranties of habitability, merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose), which might be deemed pertinent by Tenant in determining to lease the Premises. Tenant does hereby expressly acknowledge that no such representations or warranties have been made and that Tenant is not relying upon same. Landlord is not liable for or bound in any manner by any promises, statement, representations or information pertaining to the Premises made or furnished by any broker, real estate agent, employer, servant or any other person representing or purporting to represent Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for all interior improvements to the Premises and said improvements shall be deemed “Work” under Article 9 hereof and shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9.

ARTICLE 4: BASE RENT AND ADDITIONAL RENT
A.
Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord the monthly Base Rent set forth in Article 1 in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term; provided, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the first full calendar month for which Base Rent shall be due (and any initial partial month) when Tenant executes this Lease.
B.
Taxes and Expenses. Tenant shall pay Landlord Tenant’s Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Share of Expenses in the manner described below. The foregoing capitalized terms shall have the meanings specified therefor in Articles 1 and 34.
C.
Payments. Tenant shall pay such amounts as follows:
(i)
Landlord shall reasonably estimate in advance the amounts Tenant shall owe for Tenant’s Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Share of Expenses for any full or partial calendar year of the Term. Tenant shall pay such estimated amounts, on a monthly basis, on or before the first day of each calendar month, together with Tenant’s payment of Base Rent. Such estimate may be reasonably adjusted from time to time by Landlord, including adjustments to reflect the final Tax bills each year.
(ii)
Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall provide a statement (the “Statement”) to Tenant showing: (a) the amount of actual Taxes and Expenses for such calendar year, with a listing of amounts for major categories of Expenses, (b) any amount paid by Tenant towards Taxes and Expenses during such calendar year on an estimated basis, and (c) any revised estimate of Tenant’s obligations for Taxes and Expenses for the current calendar year.
(iii)
If the Statement shows that Tenant’s estimated payments were less than Tenant’s actual obligations for Taxes and Expenses for such year, Tenant shall pay the difference within fifteen (15) days after Landlord sends the Statement.
(iv)
If the Statement shows an increase in Tenant’s estimated payments for the current calendar year, Tenant shall: (a) pay the difference between the new and former estimates for the period from January 1 of the current calendar year through the month in which the Statement is sent within fifteen (15) days after Landlord sends the Statement, and (b) thereafter pay the new estimated amount until Landlord further revises such estimated amount.
(v)
If the Statement shows that Tenant’s estimated payments exceeded Tenant’s actual obligations for Taxes and Expenses, Landlord shall credit the difference against payment of Rent next due. If the Term shall have expired and no further Rent shall be due, Landlord shall provide a refund of such difference at the time Landlord sends the Statement.
4
D.
Fiscal Years and Tax Years. If Landlord now or hereafter uses a non-calendar fiscal year: (i) all references to calendar years herein shall refer to such fiscal years, (ii) all references to January 1 and December 31 herein shall refer, respectively, to the first and last days of such fiscal years as the context requires, and (iii) if Landlord changes fiscal years, Landlord shall make appropriate prorations such that Tenant’s obligations hereunder are not materially adversely affected thereby. Subject to Paragraph F below, Landlord shall include in Taxes each year hereunder: (a) in general, the amounts levied, assessed or imposed for such year, whether paid or payable in another year, (b) for personal property taxes, the amounts paid during such year, and (c) for Taxes paid in installments over more than one year, the amounts paid each year, and any interest thereon. If any taxing authority uses a fiscal year other than a calendar year, Landlord may elect from time to time, consistent with sound accounting and other than a calendar year, Landlord may elect from time to time, consistent with sound accounting and management practices, to require payments by Tenant based on: (x) amounts paid or payable during each calendar year without regard to such fiscal years, (y) amounts paid or payable during each calendar year, averaging the bills for each calendar year based on the number of days or months of such calendar year included in each fiscal tax year, or (z) amounts paid or payable for or during each fiscal tax year.
E.
Tax Refunds, Protest Costs, and Expense Adjustments For Prior Years. Landlord shall each year: (i) credit against Taxes and refunds received during such year, (ii) include, in either Taxes or Expenses, any fees for attorneys, consultants and experts, and other costs paid during such year in attempting to protest, appeal or otherwise seek to reduce or minimize Taxes, whether or not successful, and (iii) credit against Expenses the cost of any item previously included in Expenses, to the extent that Landlord receives reimbursement from insurance proceeds or a third party during such year (excluding tenant payments for Taxes and Expenses).
F.
Grossing Up Variable Expenses. If the Building is not fully occupied during all or a portion of any calendar year, Landlord may, in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, determine the amount of variable Expenses (i.e. those items which vary according to occupancy levels) that would have been paid had the Building been fully occupied, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Expenses for such year. Similarly, if Landlord is not furnishing any particular utility or service (the cost of which, if performed by Landlord, would be included in Expenses) to a tenant during any period, Landlord may for such period: (i) adjust Expenses to reflect the additional amount that would reasonably have been incurred during such period had Landlord furnished such utility or service to such tenant, or (ii) exclude the rentable area of such tenant from the rentable area of the Buildings in computing Tenant’s Share of Expenses of the component of Expenses for such utility or service.
G.
Prorations. If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the Base Rent and any other amounts payable on a monthly basis shall be prorated on a per them basis for such partial calendar months. If the Base Rent is scheduled to increase under Article 1 other than on the first day of such month at the then current and increased rates, respectively. If the Term commences other than on January 1, or ends other than on December 31, Tenant’s obligations to pay amounts towards Taxes and Expenses for such first or final calendar years shall be prorated on a per diem basis to reflect the portion of such years included in the Term.
5
H.
Payments After Lease Term Ends. Tenant’s obligations to pay Taxes and Expenses (or any other amounts) accruing during, or relating to, the period prior to expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, shall survive such expiration or termination. Landlord may reasonably estimate all or any of such obligations within a reasonable time before, or anytime after, such expiration or termination. Tenant shall pay the full amount of such estimate, and any additional amount due after the actual amounts are determined, in each case within fifteen (15) days after Landlord sends a statement therefor. If the actual amount is less than the amount Tenant pays as an estimate, Landlord shall refund the difference within thirty (30) days after such determination is made.
I.
Landlord’s Accounting Practices and Records. Landlord shall maintain records respecting Taxes and Expenses and determine the same in accordance with sound accounting and management practices consistently applied in accordance with this Lease. Subject to the other provisions of this Article, Landlord may from time to time use a full accrual system of accounting, or a modified cash basis of accounting with appropriate accrual adjustments to ensure that each year includes substantially the same major recurring items. Unless Tenant takes exception by notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord provides any Statement to Tenant, such Statement shall be considered final and binding on Tenant (except as to additional Expenses or Taxes not then known or omitted by error). If Tenant takes exception by notice within such time, Landlord may seek certification from Landlord’s independent certified public accountant as to the proper amount of Taxes and Expenses. In such case: (i) such certification shall be considered final and binding on both parties (except as to additional Expenses or Taxes not then known or omitted by error), and (ii) Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of such certification, unless it shows that Taxes and Expenses were overstated by at least five (5) percent. Pending resolution of any such exceptions, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Taxes and Expenses in the amounts shown on such Statement, subject to credit, refund or additional payment after any such exceptions are resolved.
J.
General Payment Matters. Base Rent, Taxes, Expenses and any other amounts which Tenant is or becomes obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease or other agreement entered in connection herewith, are sometimes herein referred to collectively as “Rent,” and all remedies applicable to the non-payment of rent shall be applicable thereto. Rent shall be paid in good funds and legal tender of the United States of America, together with any applicable sales tax or other taxes on Rent as further described in paragraph L below. Tenant shall pay Rent without any deduction, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim, and without relief from any valuation or appraisement laws, except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. Rent obligations hereunder are independent covenants. No delay by Landlord in providing the Statement (or separate statements) shall be deemed a default by Landlord or a waiver of Landlord’s right to require payment of Tenant’s obligations for actual or estimated Taxes or Expenses. Landlord may apply payments received from Tenant to any obligations of Tenant then accrued, without regard to such obligations as may be designated by Tenant.
K.
Sales Tax. Tenant shall also pay with each Base Rent and other payment hereunder any sales tax or similar excise tax now or hereafter imposed upon or with respect to the Rent and all other payments payable hereunder, even though the taxing statute or ordinance pay purport to impose same against Landlord.

Commercial General Liability Insurance (“CGL”) with limits of at least the following amounts: (a) Death or Bodily Injury - $2,000,000, (b) Property Damage or Destruction (including loss of use thereof) - $1,000,000, (c) Products/Completed Operations $1,000,000, (d) Personal or Advertising injury - $1,000,000, (c) Each Occurrence Limit $2,000,000, and (f) General Aggregate Limit - $3,000,000 per policy year. Such policy shall include endorsements: (1) for contractual liability covering Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Lease, and (2) adding Landlord, the management company for the Building, and other parties designated by Landlord, as Additional Insureds.
B.
Certificates, Subrogation and Other Matters. Tenant shall provide Landlord with certificates evidencing the coverage required hereunder prior to the Commencement Date, or Tenant’s entry to the Premises for construction of improvements or any other purpose (whichever first occurs). Such certificates shall: (i) be on XXXXX Form 27 or such other form approved or required by Landlord, (ii) state that such insurance coverage may not be changed, canceled or non-renewed without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, and (iii) include, as attachments, originals of the Additional Insured endorsements to Tenant’s CGL policy required above. Tenant shall provide renewal certificates to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of such policies. Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, coverage hereunder shall apply to events occurring during the policy year regardless of when a claim is made. Landlord may periodically require that Tenant reasonably increase or expand the aforementioned coverage. Except as provided to the contrary herein, any insurance carried by Landlord or Tenant shall be for the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance. If Tenant obtains insurance under “blanket policies,” Tenant shall obtain an
12
endorsement providing that the insurance limits required hereunder are not subject to reduction or impairment by claims or losses at other locations. Tenant’s insurance policies shall be primary to all policies of Landlord and any other Additional Insureds (whose policies shall be deemed excess and non-contributory). All insurance required hereunder shall be provided by responsible insurers licensed in the State of Florida, and shall have a general policy holder’s rating of at least A and a financial rating of at least A in the then current edition of Best’s Insurance Reports. The parties mutually hereby waive all rights and claims against each other for all bases covered by their respective insurance policies (or required to be covered by insurance under this Lease), and waive all rights of subrogation of their respective insurers. The parties agree that their respective insurance policies are now, or shall be, endorsed such that said waiver of subrogation shall not affect the right of the insured to recover thereunder.
C.
Waiver of Claims. Except for claims arising from Landlord’s intentional or grossly negligent acts which are not covered or required to be covered by Tenant’s insurance hereunder, Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for injury or death to persons, damage to property or to any other interest of Tenant sustained by Tenant or any party claiming by or through Tenant resulting from: (i) any occurrence in or upon the Premises, (ii) leaking of roofs, bursting, stoppage or leaking of water, gas, sewer or steam pipes or equipment, including sprinklers, (iii) wind, rain, ice, flooding, fire, explosion, earthquake, excessive heat or cold, dampness, fire or other casualty, (iv) the Property, Premises, Systems and Equipment being defective, out of repair, or failing, and (v) vandalism, malicious mischief, theft, misappropriation or other acts or omissions of any parties including Tenant’s employees, other tenants, and their respective agents, employees, invitees and contractors (and Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice of any such occurrences). This provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, other provisions of this Lease limiting Landlord’s liability.
ARTICLE 11: CASUALTY DAMAGE
A.
Restoration. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises by fire or other casualty. If the Premises or any common areas of the Building providing access thereto shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall use available insurance proceeds to restore the same. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other Laws or by any Lender, any other modifications to the common areas deemed desirable by Landlord (provided access to the Premises is not materially impaired), and except that Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any of Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings, fixtures or equipment, or any alterations or improvements in excess of any work provided or paid for by Landlord under this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof. Promptly following completion of Landlord’s restoration work, Tenant shall repair and replace Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, fixture, equipment, and any alterations or improvements made by Tenant in excess of those provided or paid for by Landlord, subject to and in compliance with the other provisions of this Lease.
13
B.
Abatement of Rent. Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent from the date of the casualty through the date that Landlord substantially completes Landlord’s repair obligations hereunder (or the date that Landlord would have substantially completed such repair, but for delays by Tenant or any other occupant of the Premises, or any of their agents, employees, invitees, Transferees and contractors), provided such abatement: (i) shall apply only to the extent the Premises are untenantable for the purposes permitted under this Lease and not used by Tenant as a result thereof, based proportionately on the square footage of the Premises so affected and not used, and (ii) shall not apply if Tenant or any other occupant of the Premises, or any of their agents or employees, invitees, Transferees or contractors caused the damage.
C.
Termination of Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in lieu of performing the restoration work, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of damage (such termination notice to include a termination date providing at least thirty (30) days for Tenant to vacate the Premises), if the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause such that: (a) repairs to the Premises and access thereto cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the casualty without the payment of overtime or other premiums, (b) more then twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is affected by the damage and fewer than twelve (12) months remain in the Term, or any material damage occurs in the Premises during the last six (6) months of the Term, (c) any Lender shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the Mortgage debt, or the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord’s insurance policies, or (d) the cost of the repairs, alterations, restoration or improvement work would exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the replacement value of the Building (whether or not the Premises are affected by the damage). Tenant agrees that the abatement of Rent provided herein shall be Tenant’s sole recourse in the event of such damage, and waives any other rights Tenant may have under Applicable Law to perform repairs or terminate the Lease by reason of damage to the Premises or the Building.
ARTICLE 12: CONDEMNATION
If at least ten percent (10%) of the rentable area of the Premises shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by a competent authority or by conveyance in lieu thereof for public or quasi-public use (“Condemnation”), including any temporary taking for a period of one year or longer, this Lease shall terminate on the date possession for such use is so taken. If: (i) less than ten percent (10%) of the Premises is taken, but the taking includes or affects a material portion of the Building or Property, or the economical operation thereof, or (ii) the taking is temporary and will be in effect for less than one year but more than thirty (30) days, then in either such event, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Tenant. The parties further agree that: (a) if this Lease is terminated, all Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur, (b) if the taking is temporary, Rent shall not be abated for the period of the taking, but Tenant may seek a condemnation award therefor (and the Term shall not be extended thereby), and (c) if this Lease is not terminated but any part of the Premises is permanently taken, the Rent shall be proportionately abated based on the square footage of the Premises so taken. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection with such Condemnation and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any interest therein for the value of Tenant’s unexpired leasehold estate or any other claim and waives any right to participate therein, except that Tenant shall have the right to claim damages for a temporary taking of the leasehold as described above, and for moving expenses and any taking of Tenant’s personal property.
14
ARTICLE 13: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
A.
Transfers. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld as further described below: (i) assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, by operation of Law or otherwise, (ii) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, (iii) permit the use of the Premises by any Persons other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any Person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”), or (iv) advertise the Premises or Lease for Transfers. If Tenant shall desire Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice shall include: (a) the proposed effective date (which shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after Tenant’s notice), (b) the portion of the Premises to be Transferred (herein called the “Subject Space”), (c) the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, the name, address and background information concerning the proposed Transferee, and a true and complete copy of all proposed Transfer documentation, and (d) financial statements of the proposed Transferee, in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and any other information to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Any Transfer made without complying with this Article shall at Landlord’s option be null, void and of no effect, or shall constitute a default under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, Tenant shall pay a reasonable fee (but not less than $500.00) towards Landlord’s review and processing expenses, as well as any reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord.
B.
Approval. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in Tenant’s notice. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable Law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following applies (without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent): (i) the Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease, (ii) the Subject Space is not regular in shape with appropriate means of ingress and egress suitable for normal renting purposes, would result in more than a reasonable number of occupants, or would require increased services by Landlord, (iii) the Transferee is either a government (or agency or instrumentality thereof), (iv) the proposed Transferee or any affiliate thereof is an occupant of the Building, (v) the proposed Transferee does not have, in Landlord’s sole good faith determination, satisfactory references or a reasonable financial condition in relation to the obligations to be assumed in connection with the Transfer, (vi) the proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of any Laws or any other lease, Mortgage or agreement to which Landlord is a party, or would give a tenant of the Building a right to cancel its lease, or (vii) Tenant has committed and failed to cute a Default. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s decision to deny approval, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to seek injunctive relief.
15
C.
Transfer Premiums. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, and as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of any Transfer Premium derived by Tenant from such Transfer. “Transfer Premium” shall mean, for a lease assignment, all consideration paid or payable therefor (except the sale proceeds and related consideration approved by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Bankruptcy Case). “Transfer Premium” shall mean, for a sublease, all rent, additional rent or other consideration paid by such Transferee in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (on a monthly basis during the Term, and on a per rentable square foot basis, if less than all of the Premises is transferred). “Transfer Premium” shall also include so-called “key money,” or other bonus amount paid by Transferee to Tenant, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or in excess of Tenant’s depreciated tax basis for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee. If part of the consideration for such Transfer shall be payable other than in cash, Landlord’s share of such non-cash consideration shall be in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The percentage of the Transfer Premium due Landlord hereunder shall be paid within ten (10) days after Tenant receives any Transfer Premium from the Transferee.
D.
Recapture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, Landlord shall have the option, by giving notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of any proposed Transfer, to recapture the Subject Space. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the date stated in Tenant’s notice as the effective date of the proposed Transfer (or at Landlord’s option, shall cause the Transfer to be made to Landlord or its agent or nominee, in which case the parties shall execute reasonable Transfer documentation promptly thereafter). If this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Subject Space when required hereunder in accordance with Article 23 and any failure to do so shall be subject to Article 24.
E.
Terms of Consent. If Landlord consents to a Transfer: (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease, including Tenant’s liability for the Subject Space, shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) no Transferee shall succeed to any rights provided in this Lease or any amendment hereto to extend the Term of this Lease, expand the Premises, or lease other space, any such rights being deemed personal to the initial Tenant, and (iv) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant and any Transferee relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. Any sublease hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any sublease, Landlord shall have the right to: (a) deem such sublease as merged and canceled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (b) deem such termination as an assignment of such sublease to Landlord and not as a merger, and require that such subtenant attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such sublease. If Tenant shall commit a Default under this Lease, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease).
16
F.
Certain Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include, and all of the foregoing provisions shall apply to: (i) the conversion, merger or consolidation of Tenant into a limited liability company or limited liability partnership, (ii) if Tenant is a partnership or limited liability company, the withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of a majority of the partners or members, or a transfer of a majority of partnership or membership interests, within a twelve month period, or the dissolution of the partnership or company, and (iii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), the dissolution, merger consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or within a twelve month period: (a) the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of 50% of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason or gift or death) or (b) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of 50% of Tenants net assets.
ARTICLE 14: PERSONAL PROPERTY, RENT AND OTHER TAXES
Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges or other governmental impositions assessed against or levied upon all fixtures, furnishings, personal property, systems and equipment located in or exclusively serving the Premises, and any Work to the Premises under Article 9 or other provisions of this Lease or related documentation. Whenever possible, Tenant shall cause all such items to be assessed and billed separately from the other property of Landlord. In the event any such items shall be assessed and billed with the other property of Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord its share of such taxes, charges or other governmental impositions within ten (10) days after Landlord delivers a statement and a copy of the assessment or other documentation showing the amount of impositions applicable to Tenant’s property. Tenant shall pay any rent tax, sales tax, service tax, transfer tax, value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the Rent, utilities or services herein, the privilege of renting, using or occupying the Premises, or collecting Rent therefrom, or otherwise respecting this Lease or any other document entered in connection herewith.
ARTICLE 15: LANDLORD’S REMEDIES
A.
Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a “Default” by Tenant and shall give rise to Landlord’s remedies set forth in Paragraph B below: (i) failure to make when due any payment of Rent, unless such failure is cured within five (5) days after notice; (ii) failure to observe or perform any term or condition of this Lease other than the payment of Rent (or the other matters expressly described herein), unless such failure is cured within any period of time following notice expressly provided with respect thereto in other Articles hereof, or otherwise within a reasonable time, but in no event more than twenty (20) days following notice (provided, if the nature of Tenant’s failure is such that more time is reasonably required in order to cure, Tenant shall not be in Default if Tenant commences to cure promptly within such period, diligently seeks and keeps Landlord reasonably advised of efforts to cure such failure to completion, and completes such cure within, sixty (60) days following Landlord’s notice); (iii) violating Article 13 respecting Transfers, or abandoning,
17
vacating or failing to occupy the Premises for more than thirty (30) days, or removing or making arrangements to remove substantial portions of the furniture or other personal property from the Premises or any material portion thereof, or (iv) other than the existing proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court, (a) making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (b) filing by or for reorganization or arrangement under any Law relating to bankruptcy or insolvency (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days), (c) appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located in the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days, (d) attachment, execution of other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located in the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, (e) Tenant’s convening of a meeting of its creditors or any class thereof for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its debts, (f) Tenant’s insolvency or failure, or admission of an inability, to pay debts as they mature, or (g) a violation by Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant under any of the lease or agreement with Landlord or any affiliate thereof, if any, which is not cured within the time permitted for cure thereunder. If Tenant violates the same term or condition of this Lease on two (2) occasions during any twelve (12) month period, Landlord shall have the right to exercise all remedies for any violations of the same term or condition during the next twelve (12) months without providing further notice or an opportunity to cure. The notice and cure periods provided here in are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice and cure periods provided by Law; provided, Landlord may elect to comply with such notice and cure periods provided by Law in lieu of the notice and cure periods provided herein.
B.
Remedies. If a Default occurs, Landlord shall have the rights and remedies hereinafter set forth to the extent permitted by Law, which shall be distinct, separate and cumulative with and in addition to any other right or remedy allowed under any law or other provision of this Lease:
(1)
Landlord may terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right of possession, reenter and repossess the Premises by summary proceedings or other lawful means, and recover from Tenant: (i) any unpaid Rent as of the termination date, (ii) the amount by which: (a) any unpaid Rent which would have accrued after the termination date during the balance of the Term exceeds (b) the reasonable rental value of the Premises under a lease substantially similar to this Lease, taking into account among other things the condition of the Premises, market conditions and the period of time the Premises may reasonably remain vacant before Landlord is able to re-lease the same to a suitable replacement tenant, and Costs of Reletting (as defined in Paragraph H below) that Landlord may incur in order to enter such replacement lease; (iii) any other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for any damages proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease. For purposes of computing the amount of Rent herein that would have accrued after the termination date, Tenant’s obligations for Taxes and Expenses shall be projected based upon the average rate of increase in such items from the Commencement Date through the termination date (or if such period shall be less than three years, then based on Landlord’s reasonable estimates). The amounts computed in accordance with the foregoing subclauses (a) and (b) shall both be discounted in accordance with accepted financial practice at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum to the then present value.
18
(2)
Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right of possession, reenter and repossess the Premises by summary proceedings or other lawful means, without terminating this Lease, and recover from Tenant: (i) any unpaid Rent as of the date possession is terminated, (ii) any unpaid Rent which thereafter accrues during the Term from the date possession is terminated through the time of judgment (or which may have accrued from the time of any earlier judgment obtained by Landlord), less any consideration received from replacement tenants as further described and applied pursuant to Paragraph H, below, and (iii) any other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all damages proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease, including all Costs of Reletting (as defined in Paragraph H below). Tenant shall pay any such amounts to Landlord as the same accrue or after the same have accrued from time to time upon demand. At any time after terminating Tenant’s right to possession as provided herein, Landlord may terminate this Lease as provided in clause (1) above by notice to Tenant, and Landlord may pursue such other remedies as may be available to Landlord under this Lease or applicable Law.
C.
Mitigation of Damages. If Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord shall have an obligation to mitigate Landlord’s damages in accordance with the following: (i) Landlord shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to mitigate, which shall not exceed such efforts as Landlord generally uses to lease other space at the Building, (ii) Landlord will not be deemed to have failed to mitigate if Landlord or its affiliate lease any other portions of the Building or other projects owned by Landlord or its affiliates in the same geographic area, before reletting all or any portion of the Premises, and (iii) any failure to mitigate as described herein with respect to any period of time shall only reduce the Rent and other amounts to which Landlord is entitled hereunder by the reasonable rental value of the Premises during such period, taking into account the factors described in clause B(1) above.
D.
Reletting. If this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession is terminated, or Tenant abandons the Premises, Landlord may: (i) enter and secure the Premises, change the locks, install barricades, remove any improvements, fixtures or other property of Tenant therein, perform any decorating, remodeling, repairs, alterations, improvements or additions and take such other actions as Landlord shall determine in Landlord’s sole discretion to prevent damage or deterioration to the Premises or prepare the same for reletting, and (ii) relet all or any portion of the Premises (separately or as part of a larger space), for any rent, use or period of time (which may exceed beyond the Term hereof), and upon any other terms as Landlord shall determine in Landlord’s sole discretion, directly or as Tenant’s agent (if permitted or required by applicable Law). The consideration received from such reletting shall be applied pursuant to the terms of Paragraph H hereof, and if such consideration, as so applied, is not sufficient to cover all Rent and damages to which Landlord may be entitled hereunder, Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord as the same accrues or after the same has accrued from time to time upon demand, subject to the other provisions hereof.
E.
Specific Performances, Collection of Rent and Acceleration. Landlord shall at all times have the right without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable Law to: (i) seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease or restrain or enjoin a violation of any provision hereof, and Tenant hereby waives any right to require that Landlord post a bond or other security in connection therewith, and (ii) xxx for any collect any unpaid Rent which has accrued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, to the extent not expressly prohibited by applicable Law, in the event of
19
any Default by Tenant, Landlord may terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession and accelerate and declare all Rent reserved for the remainder of the Term to be immediately due and payable (in which event, Tenant’s obligations for Taxes and Expenses that would have accrued thereafter shall be projected in the manner described in Section B(1), above); provided the Rent so accelerated shall be discounted in accordance with accepted financial practice at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum to the then present value, and Landlord shall, after receiving payment of the same from Tenant, be obligated to turn over to Tenant any actual net reletting proceeds (net of all Costs of Reletting) thereafter received during the remainder of the Term, up to the amount so received from Tenant pursuant to this provision.
F.
Late Charges, Interest, and Returned Checks. Tenant shall pay, as additional Rent, a service charge of five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount, if any portion of Rent is not received when due. In addition, any Rent not paid when due shall accrue interest from the due date at the Default Rate until payment is received by Landlord. Such service charges and interest payments shall not be deemed consent by Landlord to late payments, nor a waiver of Landlord’s right to insist upon timely payments at any time, nor a waiver of any remedies to which Landlord is entitled as a result of the late payment of Rent. If Landlord receives two (2) or more checks from Tenant which are returned by Tenant’s bank for insufficient funds, Landlord may require that all check thereafter be bank certified or cashier’s checks (without limiting Landlord’s other remedies). All bank service charges resulting from any returned checks shall be borne by Tenant.
G.
Landlord’s Cure of Tenant Defaults. If Tenant fails to perform any obligation under this Lease for five (5) days after notice thereof by Landlord (except that no notices shall be required in emergencies), Landlord shall have the right (but not the duty), to perform such obligation on behalf and for the account of Tenant. In such event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand, as additional Rent, for all expenses incurred by Landlord in performing such obligation and interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such expenses were incurred. Landlord’s performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver or release of Tenant therefrom.
H.
Other Matters. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, nor shall the same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless express notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Landlord may bring suits for amounts owed by Tenant hereunder or any portions thereof, as the same accrue or after the same have accrued, and no suit or recovery of any portion due hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect all amounts to which Landlord is entitled hereunder, nor shall the same serve as any defense to any subsequent suit brought for any amount not therefor reduced to judgment. Landlord may pursue one or more remedies against Tenant and need not make an election of remedies until findings of fact are made by a court of competent jurisdiction. All rent and other consideration paid by any replacement tenants shall be applied at Landlord’s option: (i) first, to the Costs of Reletting, (ii) second, to the payment of all costs of enforcing this Lease against Tenant or any Guarantor, (iii) third, to the payment of all interest and service charges accruing hereunder, (iv) fourth, to the payment of Rent theretofore accrued, and (v) with the residue, if any, to be held by Landlord and applied to the payment of Rent and other obligations
20
of Tenant as the same become due (and with any remaining residue to be retained by Landlord). “Costs of Reletting’’ shall include without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord for any repairs or other matters described in Paragraph D above, brokerage commissions, advertising costs, attorneys’ fees and any economic incentives given to enter leases with replacement tenants. The times set forth herein for the curing of Defaults by Tenant are of the essence of this Lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any Law to redeem or reinstate this Lease, or Tenant’s right to possession, after this Lease, or Tenant’s right to possession, is terminated based on a Default by Tenant.
ARTICLE 16: SECURITY DEPOSIT
Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 (“Security Deposit”), upon Tenant’s execution and submission of this Lease. The Security Deposit shall serve as security for the prompt, full and faithful performance by Tenant of the terms and provisions of this Lease. If Tenant commits a Default, or owes any amounts to Landlord upon the expiration of the Lease, Landlord may use or apply the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Should the Tenant exercise its termination right in accordance with Article 32, Landlord shall retain the full amount of the Security Deposit set forth in Article 1 as a termination fee (said termination fee shall not be considered rent). Except in the case of Tenant properly exercising its termination right in accordance with Article 32, the use or application of the Security Deposit or any portion thereof shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided hereunder or under any Law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages. In the event the Security Deposit is reduced by such use or application, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord within fifteen (15) days after notice, an amount sufficient to restore the full amount of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from Landlord’s general funds or pay interest on the Security Deposit. Any remaining portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease) within fifteen (15) days after Tenant (or such assignee) has vacated the Premises in accordance with Article 23.
ARTICLE 17: ATTORNEYS’ FEES, JURY TRIAL, COUNTERCLAIMS AND VENUE
In the event of any litigation or arbitration between the parties relating to this Lease, the Premises or Building (including pretrial, trial, appellate, administrative, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings other than the existing proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court), the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as part of the judgment, award or settlement therein. In the event of a breach of this Lease by either party which does not result in litigation but which causes the non-breaching party to incur attorneys’ fees or costs, the breaching party shall reimburse such fees and costs to the nonbreaching party upon demand. If either party or any of its officers, directors, trustees, beneficiaries, partners, agents, affiliates or employees shall be made a party to any litigation or arbitration commenced by or against the other party and is not at fault, the other party shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by such parties in connection with such litigation. IN THE INTEREST OF OBTAINING A SPEEDIER AND LESS COSTLY HEARING OF ANY DISPUTE, LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LEASE, THE. PREMISES OR THE
21
BUILDING. Although such jury waiver is intended to be self-operative and irrevocable, Landlord and Tenant each further agree, if requested, to confirm such waivers in writing at the time of commencement of any such action, proceeding or counterclaim. If Landlord commences any summary proceedings or any other action seeking possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees not to interpose by consolidation of actions, any counterclaim, claim of set-off, recoupment or deduction of Rent, or other claim seeking affirmative relief of any kind (except a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim which Tenant would forfeit if not so interposed). Any action or proceeding brought by either party against the other for any matter arising out of or in any way relating to this Lease, the Premises or the Building, shall be heard, at Landlord’s option, in the court having jurisdiction located closest to the Building.
ARTICLE 18: SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND LENDER PROTECTION
This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Mortgages now or hereafter placed upon the Property, and all other encumbrances and matters of public record applicable to the Property. Whether before or after any foreclosure or power of sale proceedings are initiated or completed by any Lender or a deed in lieu is granted, Tenant agrees upon written request of any such Lender or any purchaser at such sale, to attorn and pay Rent to such party, and recognize such party as Landlord (provided such Lender or purchaser shall agree not to disturb Tenant’s occupancy so long as Tenant does not Default hereunder, on a form customarily used by, or otherwise reasonably acceptable to, such party). However, in the event of attornment, no Lender shall be: (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord, or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord (arising prior to such Leader becoming Landlord under such attornment), (ii) liable for any security deposit or bound by any prepaid Rent not actually received by such Lender, or (iii) bound by any modification of this Lease not consented to by such Lender. Tenant agrees to give any Lender by certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of default saved by Tenant upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Lender. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time permitted Landlord for cure under this Lease, any such Lender whose address has been provided to Tenant shall have an additional period of thirty (30) days in which to cure (or such additional time as may be required due to causes beyond such Lender’s control, including time to obtain possession of the Building by appointment of receiver, power of sale or judicial action). Should any current or prospective Lender require a modification or modifications to this Lease which will not cause an increased cost or otherwise materially and adversely change the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be so modified. Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Article shall be self-operative; however Tenant shall execute and deliver, within ten (10) days after request, such documentation as Landlord or any Lender may request from time to time, whether prior to or after a foreclosure or power of sale proceeding is initiated or completed or a deed in lieu is delivered, in order to further confirm or effectuate the matters set forth in this Article in recordable form.

If Tenant shall fail to perform any repairs or restoration, or fail to remove any items from the Premises required hereunder, Landlord may do so and Tenant shall pay Landlord’s charges therefor upon demand. All property removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to any provisions of this Lease or any Law may be handled or stored by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof.

Tenant hereby waives any statutory notices to vacate or quit the Premises upon expiration of this Lease.
ARTICLE 24: HOLDING OVER

Tenant shall pay such amounts on demand, and, in the absence of demand, monthly in advance. The foregoing provisions, and Landlord’s acceptance of my such amounts, shall not serve as permission for Tenant to hold-over, nor serve to extend the Term (although Tenant shall remain a tenant-at-sufferance bound to comply with all provisions of this Lease until Tenant properly vacates the Premises, and shall be subject to the provisions of Article 23). Landlord shall have the right at my time after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenants right to possession to reenter and possess the Premises and remove all property and persons therefrom, and Landlord shall have such other remedies for holdover as may be available to Landlord under other provisions of this Lease or applicable Laws.

ARTICLE 27: NO WAIVER
No provision of this Lease will be deemed waived by either party unless expressly waived in writing and signed by the waiving party. No waiver by either party of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of such provision with respect to any subsequent matter relating to such provision, and Landlord’s consent or approval respecting any action by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for obtaining Landlord’s consent or approval respecting any subsequent action. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord directly or through any agent or lock-box arrangement shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term or provision of this Lease (and Landlord reserves the right to return or refund any untimely payments if necessary to preserve Landlord’s remedies). No acceptance of a lesser amount of Rent shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due. The acceptance of Rent or of the performance of any other term or provision from, or providing directory listings or services for, any Person other than Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to approve any Transfer.

ARTICLE 28: SAFETY AND SECURITY DEVICES, SERVICES AND PROGRAMS
A.
The parties acknowledge that safety and security devices, services and programs provided by Landlord, if any, while intended to deter crime and ensure safety, may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts, or ensure safety of persons or property.

Tenant agrees that if any employee of Tenant is no longer working at the Premises, it shall use reasonable efforts to have such employee return his or her access card (failing which Tenant shall so advise Landlord and Landlord shall have the right to reprogram the security system so that the applicable card will no longer allow access to the Building). Landlord will provide Tenant with additional access cards, upon request of Tenant, however, Landlord shall be entitled to charge $25.00 for each additional card.

If there is, or will be more than one tenant on any floor, at any time, Landlord may allocate, and periodically reallocate, connections to the terminal block based on the proportion of square feet each tenant occupies on such floor, or the type of business operations or requirements of such tenants, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Landlord may arrange for an independent contractor to review Tenant’s requests for approval hereunder, monitor or supervise Tenant’s installation, connection and disconnection of Lines, and provide other such services, or Landlord may provide the same. In each case, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s fees and casts therefor as provided in Article 9.

Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of any Rent or other charges under the Lease, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease as amended herein. Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems.
