insurer, to waive all such claims against the other party and its
insurer.

which is usable by Tenant. But if such partial damage is due to the
fault or neglect of the Tenant, or of Tenant’s servants,
employees, agents, visitors or licensees the damages shall be
repaired by Landlord but there shall be no apportionment or
abatement of Rent or the Additional Rent and other charges payable
by Tenant under this Lease. No penalty shall accrue for reasonable
delay which may arise by reason of adjustment of insurance on the
part of Landlord and/or Tenant and for reasonable delay on account
of “labor troubles”, or any other cause beyond
Landlord’s control.
Section 10.02
If the Building and/or Demised Premises are
totally damaged or are rendered wholly untenantable by fire or
other cause, and if Landlord shall decide not to restore or not to
rebuild the same, or if the Building of which the Demised Premises

demolish it, then, or in any such events, Landlord may within one
hundred twenty (120) days after such fire or other cause, give
Tenant a notice in writing of such decision, which notice shall be
given as herein provided, and thereupon the Term of this Lease
shall expire by lapse of time upon the third day after such notice
is given, and Tenant shall vacate the Demised Premises and
surrender same to Landlord. If Tenant shall not be in default under
this Lease then, upon termination of this Lease under the
conditions provided for in the immediately preceding sentence,
Tenant’s liability for rent and other charges payable by
Tenant shall cease as of the day following such notice.
Section 10.03
If the Building and/or the Demised Premises are
totally damaged or are rendered wholly untenantable by fire or
other cause, and if Landlord shall decide to restore or rebuild the
same, or if the Building shall be so damaged that Landlord shall

including space similar to the Demised Premises, then or in any of
such events Landlord may, within one hundred twenty (120) days

such decision, which notice shall be given as herein provided, and
thereupon the Term of this Lease shall not terminate, but shall
continue in full force and effect, and the rent and other charges
payable by Tenant under this Lease shall abate and be suspended for
the duration of the restoration or reconstruction of the Demised
Premises and until such time as Tenant may again enter into
possession and use and occupancy as existed immediately prior to
the fire or other cause of damage and destruction, provided that
the Tenant is able to lawfully enter into possession, use and
occupancy of the Demised Premises within one (1) year from the
date of the fire or other cause of such damage. If the Tenant is
not so restored to possession, use and occupancy of the restored or
rebuilt Demised Premises within said one (1) year period, Tenant
shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease. Nothing in
this paragraph shall be deemed to affect the length of the Term of
this Lease.

Assignment, Subletting, Mortgaging
Section 11.01
Tenant shall not, by operation of law or
otherwise, assign, mortgage or encumber this Lease, nor sublet or
permit the Demised Premises to be used by others, without
Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance. The
consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not in
any manner be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining
Landlord’s prior written consent to any other or further
assignment or subletting.
Upon obtaining a proposal for assignment or
sublease, upon terms satisfactory to Tenant, Tenant shall submit to
Landlord a copy of the fully executed proposed assignment or
sublease together with a description of the nature and character of
the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and such other
information reasonably requested by Landlord together with a
non-refundable fee in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty ($250.00)
Dollars. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the
foregoing, Landlord shall provide notice to the Tenant that:
(i) Landlord shall consent to such proposed assignment or
subletting, because the same is for the entire Demised Premises and
the proposed assignee or sub-tenant is a person or entity which has
adequate and appropriate financial standing, and is of good
character and reputation, and is engaged in a business and proposes
to use the Demised Premises in a manner which is wholly in keeping
with the Lease and the standards of the Building, or (ii) that
such consent is denied and the reason for such denial.
Section 11.02
If the Lease shall be assigned, or if the
Demised Premises shall be sublet or occupied by any person or
persons other than the Tenant, with Landlord’s consent, the
Tenant shall remain obligated to pay the Rent, Additional Rent,
costs and expenses due under this Lease and perform all of the
covenant’s, terms and conditions of this Lease. Landlord may,
after default by Tenant, collect Rent, Additional Rent, costs and
expenses from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net
amount collected to the Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses
herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or
collection of rent shall be deemed a waiver of the covenants in
this Article 11, nor shall it be deemed acceptance of the
assignee, subtenant or occupancy as a tenant, or release of Tenant
from the full performance by Tenant of all of the terms, conditions
and covenants of this Lease, and Tenant shall remain fully liable
therefore.
Section 11.03
Each permitted assignee shall assume and be
deemed to have assumed this Lease and shall be and remain liable,
jointly and severally with Tenant, for the payment of the Rent,
Additional Rent, costs and expenses due hereunder and for the due
performance of all terms, covenants, conditions and agreements
herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed for the
Term.
Section 11.04
In the event of any sublease or assignment of
the Demised Premises or a portion thereof, Tenant shall pay to the
Landlord a sum equal to (a) one (1/2) half of any Rent,
Additional Rent, costs and expenses or other consideration in
excess of the required Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses
due hereunder; and (b) one (1/2) half of any other profit or
gain realized by Tenant from such subletting or assignment. All
sums payable hereunder by Tenant shall be paid to Landlord as
Additional Rent immediately upon the receipt thereof by
Tenant.
Section 11.05
In each instance that the Tenant gives Notice to
the Landlord of its intention to assign or sublet all or any part
of the Demised Premises such Notice shall include a copy of the
written bona fide offer to sublet or assign, then and in such event
Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving written
Notice to Tenant within forty five (45) days after receipt of
Tenant’s Notice, to recapture the space described in
Tenant’s notice, and such recapture notice shall, if given by
Landlord, cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the space
therein described as of ninety (90) days from the date of
Tenant’s notice. If Tenant’s notice shall cover all of
the space hereby demised and Landlord shall give the aforesaid
recapture notice with respect thereto, the term of this Lease shall
expire and end on that date which is ninety (90) days from the date
of Tenant’s notice as fully and completely as if that date
had been herein definitely fixed for the expiration of the
term.
12. No
Liability of Landlord
Section 12.01
Neither Landlord, Landlord’s property
manager, nor agent or employees of Landlord shall be liable to
Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors and licensees for any
damages to, or loss (by theft, vandalism or otherwise) of any of
Tenant’s property and/or of property of any other entity or
person, irrespective of the cause of such damage or loss, unless
caused by Landlord’s gross negligence. Tenant acknowledges
that the employees or agents of Landlord are not authorized to
accept any property of Tenant for purposes of safeguarding the same
on behalf of Tenant of any Tenant’s employees, contractors or
agents.
Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant by
reason of any inconvenience, annoyance, interruption or injury to
business arising from the making of any repairs or alterations or
performing maintenance services at the Building by Landlord, its
contractors, employees or agents of any other tenant, its
contractors, employees or agents provided that such does not
materially interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business
within the Demised Premises for more than forty eight
(48) hours in each instance. Landlord will use its best
efforts to restrict any such inconvenience, annoyance, interruption
or injury which may be of a material nature to Tenant’s
business to periods of not more than forty eight (48) hours in
duration.
Section 12.02
Tenant agrees that its sole remedies in cases
where Landlord’s reasonableness in the exercise of its
judgment or the withholding or delaying of its consent or approval
is applicable and an issue shall be those in the nature of an
action or proceeding for an injunction or for specific performance.
In such cases, Tenant hereby specifically waives its rights to
money damages or other remedies (including the right to claim money
damages by way of setoff, counterclaim or defense). Failure by
Tenant to seek injunctive or specific performance relief within
ninety (90) days of the date of Landlord’s decision or
alleged failure to render a decision shall be deemed a waiver of
any right to dispute such action.
Section 12.03
Tenant shall defend, reimburse, indemnify and
save harmless the Landlord, its agents and employees, from and
against any and all liability, costs, expenses and damages, suits,
claims, and demands of every kind and nature, including reasonable
counsel fees, which are asserted or brought or instituted by or on
behalf of any person, firm, association or corporation, in
connection with any person
