11. Compliance With Laws

Tenant acknowledges that no trade or occupation shall be conducted in the Premises or use made thereof which will be unlawful, improper, excessively noisy or offensive, or contrary to any law or any municipal by-law or ordinance in force in the state, city or town in which the Premises are situated.

 

  A. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any written notice it receives of the violation of any law or requirement of public authority, and at its own expense shall comply with all laws and requirements of public authorities which shall, with respect to the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises, or the abatement of any nuisance, impose any obligation, order or duty on Landlord or Tenant arising from (i) Tenant’s use of the Premises, (ii) Tenant’s conduct of its business or operation of its installations, equipment or other property, (iii) any cause or condition created by or at the instance of Tenant, other than by Landlord’s performance of any work for or on behalf of Tenant, or (iv) Tenant’s breach of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant, however, shall not be so required to make any structural or other substantial change in the Premises.

Tenant’s rent shall be abated in just proportion during the period of impaired use of the Premises. If more than fifty percent (50%) of the inside space of the Premises or the limited common elements related to the Premises are so damaged, either Landlord or Tenant may cancel this Lease on thirty (30) days notice and rent shall be apportioned as of the date of the casualty. If a registered engineer or architect jointly acceptable to Landlord and Tenant shall notify them within thirty (30) days after such fire or casualty that, in his/her opinion, the damage to the Premises or the limited common elements related to the Premises cannot be repaired so as to substantially restore the Premises to its former condition within one hundred eighty (180) days after such fire or casualty or if the Premises and the limited common elements related to the Premises are in fact not restored to substantially the same condition as existed prior to such fire or casualty within one hundred eighty (180) days after such occurrence, then this Lease may be terminated by either Landlord or Tenant and rent shall be apportioned as of the termination date

 

13. Condemnation

In the event the Premises or the limited common elements related to the Premises shall be taken for public use by the city, state, federal government, public authority or other corporation having the power of eminent domain, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date on which possession thereof shall be taken for such public use or, at the option of Tenant, as of the date on which the Premises shall become unsuitable for Tenant’s regular business by reason of such taking; provided, however, that if only a part of the Premises or any material portion of the common elements of the Project or limited common elements allocated to the Premises, such termination shall be at the option of Tenant only. If such a taking occurs, and Tenant elects not to terminate this Lease, there shall be a proportionate reduction of the rent to be paid under this Lease from and after the date such possession is taken for public use, but Landlord shall have no requirement to construct any additional improvements on or to its Premises. Tenant shall have not have the right to participate, directly or indirectly, in any award for such public taking on account of such public taking.

 

14. Default

 

  A. The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease.

  (2) Tenant shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall make and assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall permit the Premises or the leasehold estate created hereby to be taken on execution or other process of law in any action against Tenant.

 

  (3) Tenant shall file a petition, or a petition is filed against Tenant, under any section or chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code (Title 11 of the United States Code), as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any State thereof, or Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant thereof.

 

  (4) A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of the Tenant.

 

  (5) Tenant shall fail to take occupancy of the Premises within a reasonable time after the Commencement Date.

  B. Upon the occurrence of any of such events of default described in Paragraph 14(A) hereof, and after any applicable cure period, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity in connection with such event of default, including the right to terminate Tenant’s right of possession, and to re-let the Premises and receive the rent therefor on Tenant’s account, which rent Landlord shall first apply to any and all expenses it incurred in so re-letting the Premises and then to the satisfaction of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to pay to the Landlord on demand any deficiency between the rental received from subletting (after first covering Landlord’s expenses of re-letting) and the Rental reserved hereunder.

The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Landlord’s remedies in any manner.

All rights and remedies of Landlord herein existing at law or in equity are cumulative and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to the exercise any other. No act or thing done by the Landlord or its agents during the term hereby granted shall be deemed a termination of this Lease or an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises, and no agreements to terminate this lease or accept a surrender of said Premises shall be valid unless such agreement is in writing and signed by Landlord. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant, of any violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein, contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of the items, provision and covenants herein contained.

Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such successor landlord and Tenant on all of the terms, conditions, and covenants set forth in this Lease, except that such successor landlord shall not be (1) liable for any act or omission of Landlord, or required to cure any default of Landlord, except to the extent: (a) such act or omission constitutes a nonmonetary default of Landlord; (b) such act or omission continues beyond the date when such successor landlord succeeds to Landlord’s interest; and (c) Tenant shall have given prompt written notice of such act or omission to Mortgagee, with an opportunity to cure the same, in accordance with the terms hereof; (2) subject to any offsets, defenses, claims, counterclaims, offsets, or setoffs that Tenant may have against Landlord; (3) bound by any Rent that Tenant may have paid more than one month in advance; (4) liable for any security or other deposit, or surrender of any letter of credit, whether or not still held by Landlord, unless such security or other deposit was actually received by Mortgagee or such successor landlord, and in the event of receipt of any such security deposit, Mortgagee’s or such successor landlord’s obligations with respect thereto shall be limited to the amount of such security deposit actually received by Mortgagee or such successor landlord, and Mortgagee or such successor landlord shall be entitled to all rights, privileges, and benefits of Landlord set forth in this Lease with respect thereto; (5) bound by any agreement between Landlord and Tenant not expressly set forth in this Lease (or any exhibit thereto), as amended (subject to Mortgagee’s right to consent thereto); (6) bound by any agreement, amendment, extension, modification, cancellation, or termination of this Lease that was made without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, which consent may be withheld, conditioned, or delayed for any reason, in the sole discretion of Mortgagee; (7) liable to Tenant under this Lease or otherwise from and after such time as Mortgagee or such successor landlord ceases to be the owner of the Property; or (8) bound by, or liable for any breach of, any representation or warranty or indemnity agreement of any kind contained in this Lease or otherwise made by Landlord.
