2.1    Rent Payment

 

Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent for the Premises and any additional rent provided herein, without deduction or offset. At the same time as execution of the Lease, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent for the first full month of the Lease term for which rent is payable. Rent is payable in advance on the first day of each month commencing on the commencement date of this Lease. Rent for any partial month during the Lease term shall be prorated to reflect the number of days during the month that Tenant occupies the Premises. Additional rent means amounts determined under Section 19 of this Lease and any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 1 1/2 percent per month, or if less the maximum applicable rate of interest permitted by law, until paid. Landlord may at its option impose a late charge of the greater of $.05 for each $1 of rent or $50 for rent payments made more than ten (10) days late in lieu of interest for the first month of delinquency. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any rent or other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain, and that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment and is not a penalty, Neither imposition nor collection nor failure to impose or collect such late charge shall be considered a waiver of any other remedies available for default. In addition to such late charge, an additional charge of $75 shall be recoverable by Landlord for any returned checks.

 

2.2    Prepaid Rent.

 

Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the prepaid rent set forth in the Basic Lease Terms.

Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the prepaid rent. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant’s prepaid rent; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord’s acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall promptly return said prepaid rent to Tenant

 

3.1    Security Deposit.

 

At the same time as execution of the Lease by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount stated in the Basic Lease Terms as a Security Deposit. Landlord may apply the Security Deposit to pay the cost of performing any obligation which Tenant fails to perform within the time required by this Lease, but such application by Landlord shall not waive Landlord's other remedies nor be the exclusive remedy for Tenant’s default. If the Security Deposit is applied by Landlord, Tenant shall on demand pay the sum necessary to replenish the Security Deposit to its original amount. In no event will Tenant have the right to apply any part of the Security Deposit to any rent or other sums due under this Lease. If Tenant is not in default at the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the entire Security Deposit to Tenant, except for the portion designated in the Basic Lease Terms, if any, which Landlord shall retain as a non-refundable cleaning fee. Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit are those of a debtor and not of a trustee, and Landlord can commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord's general funds. Landlord shall not be required to pay Tenant interest on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall be entitled to immediately endorse and cash Tenant's Security Deposit; however, such endorsement and cashing shall not constitute Landlord's acceptance of this Lease. In the event Landlord does not accept this Lease, Landlord shall return said Security Deposit. If Landlord sells its interest in the Premises during the term hereof and deposits with or credits to the purchaser the unapplied portion of the Security Deposit, thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability or responsibility with respect to the Security Deposit.

 

4.1    Use.

 

Tenant shall use the Premises as a business for the Tenant's Permitted Use stated in the Basic Lease Terms and for no other purpose without Landlord’s written consent. In connection with its use, Tenant shall at its expense promptly comply and cause the Premises to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations of any public authority (“Laws”) and shall not annoy, obstruct, or interfere with the rights of other tenants of the Building. Tenant shall create no nuisance nor allow any objectionable fumes, noise, light, vibration, radiation, or electromagnetic waves to be emitted from the Premises. If any sound or vibration produced by Tenant's activities is detectable outside of the Premises, Tenant shall provide such insulation as is required to muffle such sound or vibration and render it undetectable at Tenant's cost. Tenant shall not conduct any activities that will increase Landlord’s insurance rates for any portion of the Building or that will in any manner degrade or damage the reputation of the Building.

11.2.1Landlord may at its option terminate this Lease, without prejudice to its right to damages for Tenant’s breach. With or without termination, Landlord may retake possession of the Premises and may use or relet the Premises without accepting a surrender or waiving the right to damages, Following such retaking of possession, efforts by Landlord to relet the Premises shall be sufficient if Landlord follows its usual procedures for finding tenants for the space at rates not less than the current rates for other comparable space in the Building. If Landlord has other vacant space in the Building, prospective tenants may be placed in such other space without prejudice to Landlord’s claim to damages or loss of rentals from Tenant,

 

11.2.2Landlord may recover all damages caused by Tenant’s default which shall include an amount equal to rentals lost because of the default, Lease commissions paid for this Lease, and the unamortized cost of any tenant improvements installed by or paid for by Landlord. Landlord may sue periodically to recover damages as they occur throughout the Lease term, and no action for accrued damages shall bar a later action for damages subsequently accruing. Landlord may elect in any one action to recover accrued damages plus damages attributable to the remaining term of the Lease. Such damages shall be measured by the difference between the rent under this Lease and the reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the term, discounted to the time of judgment at the prevailing interest rate on judgments.

 

11.3    Landlord’s Right To Cure Default.

 

Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any payment or perform any obligation which Tenant has failed to perform when required under this Lease.

Landlord's right to correct Tenant's failure to perform is for the sole protection of Landlord and the existence of this right shall not release Tenant from the obligation to perform all of the covenants herein required to be performed by Tenant, or deprive Landlord of any other right which Landlord may have by reason of default of this Lease by Tenant, whether or not Landlord exercises its right under this Section.

 

12.1    Surrender; Holdover.

Failure to remove shall be an abandonment of the property, and, following ten (10) days’ written notice, Landlord may remove or dispose of it in any manner without liability, and recover the cost of removal and other damages from Tenant. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises when required, including failure to remove all its personal property, Landlord may elect either: (i) to treat Tenant as a tenant from month to month, subject to the provisions of this Lease except that rent shall be one-and-one-half times the total rent being charged when the Lease term expired, and any option or other rights regarding extension of the term or expansion of the Premises shall no longer apply; or (ii) to eject Tenant from the Premises (using self-help or otherwise) and recover damages caused by wrongful holdover.
