	d.	In the event a CASp inspection of the Premises is performed, the results of such inspection, including any reports, surveys or other documentation prepared in connection with the inspection, shall remain confidential and Tenant shall not disclose the results of such inspection to any other party, except to the extent the same must be disclosed by order of governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction, or pursuant to applicable law. This Section 13 shall survive the termination or expiration of the Term of the Lease.

	11.	Interpretation. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Lease unless otherwise specifically defined herein.

	12.	Acknowledgement. Tenant acknowledges that as of the date hereof to the best of Tenant’s current actual knowledge, Landlord is not in breach of any of its obligations to Tenant under the Lease and Tenant further acknowledges that it has no off-sets, demands or claims against Landlord.
