1.
Acceleration of Expiration Date.

 

1.1. Accelerated Expiration Date. Subject to the provisions hereof, the term of the Lease shall expire five days (5) days after the Commencement Date (as defined in the New Lease)of the New Lease (as defined in Section 6.1 below) (the “Accelerated Expiration Date”) with the same force and effect as if such term were, by the provisions of the Lease, fixed to expire on the Accelerated Expiration Date (the “Acceleration”). Without limiting the foregoing:

 

A.
Subject to Section 1.1.C below, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Lease on or before the Accelerated Expiration Date.

 

B.
Tenant shall remain liable for all Rent and other amounts payable under the Lease for the period up to and including the Accelerated Expiration Date, even though billings for such amounts may occur after the Accelerated Expiration Date; provided, however, for the period beginning on the Commencement Date (as defined in Section 1.3.2 of the New Lease) of the New Lease and ending five (5) days thereafter, Base Rent shall be abated.

 

C.
Tenant’s restoration obligations shall be as set forth in the Lease; provided, however, that Landlord acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of Sections 8 and 15 of the Lease, all Leasehold Improvements, Alterations and Tenant-Requested Improvements existing in the Premises as of the date hereof are Building-standard and, as a result thereof, Tenant shall have no obligation at the expiration of the Lease to remove (nor pay for the removal of) the same or repair (nor pay for the repair of) any damage resulting from such removal.

 

D.
If Tenant fails to surrender any portion of the Premises on or before the Accelerated Expiration Date, Tenant’s tenancy shall be subject to Section 16 of the Lease.

 

E.
Any other rights or obligations of Landlord or Tenant under the Lease that, in the absence of the Acceleration, would have survived the Existing Expiration Date shall survive the Accelerated Expiration Date.

 

1.2. [Intentionally Omitted].

 

1.3. Limitations on Tenant’s Rights. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Lease, any unexercised right or option of Tenant to renew or extend the term of the Lease or to expand the Premises (whether in the form of an expansion option, right of first offer or

refusal, or any other similar right), and any outstanding tenant improvement allowance or other allowance not claimed and properly used by Tenant in accordance with the Lease as of such date, shall be deemed terminated and no longer available or of any further force or effect.

 

2. Representations. Tenant represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof and the Accelerated Expiration Date: (a) Tenant is the rightful owner of all of the Tenant’s interest in the Lease; (b) Tenant has not made any disposition, assignment, sublease, or conveyance of the Lease or Tenant’s interest therein; (c) Tenant has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance which would give rise to any claim, demand, obligation, liability, action or cause of action arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises; (d) no other person or entity has an interest in the Lease, collateral or otherwise; and (e) there are no outstanding contracts for the supply of labor or material and no work has been done or is being done in, to or about the Premises which has not been fully paid for and for which appropriate waivers of mechanic’s liens have not been obtained.
