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.

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.

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.

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.

In the event any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord, shall also, at Tenant’s expense, resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding by counsel approved by Landlord in writing, which approval by Landlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, or by Tenant’s insurer’s counsel.

Additionally, Tenant does and will indemnify and save Landlord harmless against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable architect’s and attorney’s fees, which may be imposed upon or be asserted against Landlord by reason of any of the following occurring during the term of this Lease, unless caused or resulting from the gross negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees: (A) Any work or thing done in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof by Tenant; (B) Any use, non-use, possession, occupation, condition, operation, maintenance or management of the Demised Premises or any part thereof and of any adjoining street, alley, sidewalk, curb, passageway, overhead bridge, or space; (C) Any negligence, acts or omissions on the part of Tenant or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees; and (D) Any accident, injury or damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about the Demised Premises or any part thereof or any adjoining street, alley, sidewalk, curb, vault, passageway, overhead bridge or space.

Landlord and its contractors and agents shall also have the right to enter the Demised Premises for the purpose of making repairs to the Demise Premises or the Building or its systems and for inspecting them or exhibiting them to prospective purchasers and mortgagees or prospective lessees during the last six months of the term of this Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a default specified herein this paragraph occurs and such default is of a nature that Tenant cannot with due diligence cure within ten (10) days, Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Lease, provided that Tenant commences curing such default within said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure until the default is cured. Thereafter, if the default is not cured in a diligent and timely manner Landlord shall then have the right to terminate this Lease.

An event of default shall entitle the Landlord to take all action against the Tenant which the Landlord deems appropriate including, but not limited to, legal and equitable actions, arbitration and proceeding with a summary process action to dispossess the Tenant due to said default.

Section 16.02

In the event that this Lease or any interest therein shall, by operation of law or otherwise, pass from Tenant to any other person, firm, entity, limited liability company or corporation except in strict compliance with Article 11 then and in such event Landlord may give to Tenant written notice of intention to terminate the Term of this Lease at the expiration of eight (8) days from the date of service of such notice. Upon the expiration of said eight (8) days, this Lease shall terminate with the same effect as if that day were the Expiration Date, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided hereinafter.

If this Lease shall terminate for any of the above reasons, then Landlord may, without notice, re-enter the Demised Premises and dispossess Tenant and/or the legal representatives of Tenant or other occupant of the Demised Premises by summary proceedings, ejectment or as otherwise provided by law, and remove their effects and hold the Demised Premises as if this Lease had not been made. Tenant shall, however, remain liable hereunder.

Section 16.03

In case of any such default by Tenant, re-entry by Landlord or the expiration of the Term hereof, the Landlord, its contractors, agents and legal representatives shall have the right to and may enter the Demised Premises without being liable for any prosecution or damages therefore, and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Demised Premises as the agent of Tenant and receive the Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses therefore, upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord, using reasonable business judgment in determining rental rates, and all rights of Tenant to repossess the Demises Premises shall be forfeited.

Any such re-letting may be of the entire Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms, which may at Landlord’s option be less than or in excess of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may provide for rent concessions or free rent. Such re-entry or re-letting, or both, by Landlord shall not operate to release Tenant from any rent to be paid or covenant to be performed hereunder by Tenant during the Term. The failure of the Landlord to re-let the Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages. In addition, if the Demised Premises, or any part or parts thereof, are re-let, Landlord agrees to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Demised Premises to minimize the losses, but Landlord shall not be liable for failure to collect the Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses therefore under such reletting provided that Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to collect said Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses. For the purposes of re-letting, Landlord shall be authorized to make such rent concessions, and repairs or alterations in or to the Demised Premises as Landlord shall deem necessary to place the same in good order and condition, and such alterations or decorations, and to incur and pay all expenses of such re-letting, including but not limited to, legal expenses, attorney’s fees and brokerage fees. Tenant shall not be entitled to any surplus accruing as a result of any such re-letting.

Section 16.04

In the event that the Demised Premises are not re-let, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on a monthly basis, an amount equal to the Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses due for the then current period; except that if the Tenant fails to make monthly payments of Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses, when due, Landlord shall be entitled to payment from Tenant as damages for failure to observe and perform Tenant’s obligations hereunder, of an amount equal to the Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses due for the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term. If the Demises Premises are re-let and the net sum realized or to be realized from such re-letting for the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term, is insufficient to satisfy the Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses to be paid by Tenant under this Lease for such period, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as damages for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform Tenant’s obligations hereunder, an amount equal to such deficiency. Any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month or months shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month or months by a similar proceeding. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder or otherwise on the part of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than any of the sums referred to hereinabove.

Section 16.05

Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Demised Premises or any part thereof but shall not be responsible or liable for the failure to collect any Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses due upon any such re-letting, provided that Landlord has made commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Demised Premises and collect such Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses.

Section 16.06

Each right and remedy of Landlord provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute or otherwise, shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

17. Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment

Section 17.01

Landlord covenants that so long as Tenant pays all of the Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses due under this Lease and keeps, observes and performs each and every term, covenant, agreement, condition and provision of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be kept, observed and performed, and provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Demised Premises without hindrance or molestation by Landlord or by any other person or entity lawfully claiming the same, subject nevertheless to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease and to any lease or mortgage superior to the Lease.

18. Utilities

Section 18.01

Landlord shall furnish and pay for: (a) water; (b) electricity; (c) gas; (d) heat; and (e) hot water to the Demised Premises for the benefit of the Tenant. Tenant shall pay on a monthly basis, as Additional Rent, for its use of electricity at a rate equal to $2.00 per square foot per year ($300.00 per month). Tenant’s use of electricity in the Demised Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors, wiring, insulation or other equipment in or otherwise serving the Demised Premises. Said electric charge shall be subject to proportionate increase(s) from time to time as incurred by Landlord.

Landlord shall have the right to audit the electrical usage attributable the Demised Premises. If said electrical usage is found to be in excess of $300.00 per month then Landlord shall have the right to bill the Tenant for such excess electrical usage. Tenant shall promptly pay such bill as Additional Rent.

Section 18.02

Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any failure or defect in the supply or character of any utility furnished to the Demised Premises by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the Building with such utility unless such failure or defect shall have been caused by the gross negligence of the Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.

19. Broker

Section 19.01

Tenant represents to Landlord that there are no brokers involved in this transaction other than Allied Property Group of Greenwich. Landlord shall be liable for all commissions due Allied Property Group of Greenwich in accordance with a separate agreement between them. This Lease is consummated by the Landlord in reliance on the representation of the Tenant that no other broker or agent brought the Demised Premises to the attention of the Tenant or was in any way a procuring cause of this Lease. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against the claim of any other broker or agent for a commission due by reason of this Lease

20. Subordination

Section 20.01

The foregoing shall extend to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under the Superior Mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of the Superior Mortgages. The provisions of this Section 20.01 shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required.

Section 20.02

Tenant agrees, without further instruments of attornment in each case, (a) to attorn to the holder of any Superior Mortgage or any successor to such holder’s interest, including any mortgagee in possession or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, upon such holder’s or successor’s request, as the case may be, (b) to waive the provisions of any statute or rule or law now or hereafter in effect which may give or propose to give Tenant any right of election to terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Demised Premises in the event a Superior Mortgage is foreclosed, and (c) that Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be affected in any way whatsoever by any such proceeding or termination (it being understood, however, that such holder or successor in interest shall under no circumstances be bound by any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance, except for the Security Deposit, as defined in Article 24, “Security Deposit” of this Lease, if any). Tenant shall take no steps to terminate this Lease without giving written notice to the holder of a Superior Mortgage made known to Tenant by Landlord, and a reasonable opportunity to cure (without such holder being obligated to cure), any default on the part of Landlord under this Lease. In confirmation of such attornment, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument which is reasonably adapted to such purpose, in recordable form, if required, that Landlord, or the holder of any Superior Mortgage or any of its successors in interest, may request to evidence such attornment. Such instrument will confirm and acknowledge Tenant’s right to quiet enjoyment of the Demised Premises, provided that Tenant is not in default under any of the provisions of this Lease.

Section 20.03

In the event of any act or omission of Landlord which would provide Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall not exercise any such right until: (i) Tenant has given written notice of such act or omission to the holder of any Superior Mortgage and of any superior lease of which it has been given notice; and (ii) a reasonable period, consisting of not less than sixty (60) days from the giving of such notice by Tenant to the holder of any Superior Mortgage or of any superior lease of which Tenant has been given notice, for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following such giving of notice during which such parties, or any of them, with reasonable diligence, has not commenced and continued to remedy such act or omission or to cause the same to be remedied.

Section 20.04

Tenant agrees, at any time, and from time to time, upon not less than fifteen (15) days prior notice by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver without cost or expense to Landlord or Tenant, a statement in writing 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), certifying the dates to which the Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses have been paid, and stating whether or not to the best knowledge of Tenant, there exists any default in the performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition contained in this Lease, and if so, specifying each such default of which Tenant may have knowledge, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by the party requesting same by Landlord.

21. Successors and Assigns

Section 21.01

The obligations of this Lease shall bind and benefit the successors and permitted assigns of the parties with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party is named or referred to, except that no violation of the provisions of Article 11, “Assignment, Subletting, Mortgaging” shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or assignee of Tenant, and that the provisions of this Article 21 shall not be construed as modifying the conditions of limitation contained in Article 16, “Defaults, Remedies and Waiver of Redemption”.

It is agreed that in the event Tenant defaults in respect of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses, Landlord may draw on the Security Deposit to the extent required for the payment of such Rent, Additional Rent, costs and expenses or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default, or any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default in respect of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, including but not limited to, any damages or deficiency in the re-letting of the Demised Premises, regardless of whether such damages or deficiency occurred before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord. In the event that Landlord does draw on the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of receiving written notice from Landlord, replenish the Security Deposit by the amount which Landlord withdrew therefrom, and failure to do so within such ten (10) day period shall constitute a default under this Lease.

Tenant hereby acknowledges that the execution and delivery of this Lease is a Commercial Transaction, as that term is defined in Public Act No. 73-431, of the 1973 Connecticut Legislature, and as amended from time to time, and it hereby expressly and voluntarily waives any and all rights which it may have under said Act for notices and hearing with respect to any prejudgment remedy or remedies, as that term is therein defined, and hereby consents to the issuance of any writ for any such prejudgment remedy or remedies on behalf of Landlord with respect to any lawsuit or cause of action relating to this Lease and/or any claim incident thereto without Landlord having to first obtain a court order permitting same, as might otherwise be required under said Public Act No. 73-431.
