Notwithstanding the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises Rent Concession Period, the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises Rent Reduction Period, and the Seventh Floor Expansion Premises Rent Concession Period, Tenant agrees that its obligation to pay the Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs (as described hereafter) payments abated (or reduced, as applicable) hereunder during such periods shall continue throughout the Term of the Lease; provided, however, that such amounts shall only become due and payable if Tenant commits an Event of Default and Landlord commences and is successful in an action to recover Rent and/or possession of the Premises. If an Event of Default exists hereunder pursuant to Article 19.00 of the Lease, after any cure period and Landlord commences an action to recover Rent and/or possession of the Premises, then the unamortized portion of abated Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs payments for the Sixth Floor and Seventh Floor Expansion Premises Rent Concession Periods, and the reduced Rent during the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises Rent Reduction Period, as of the date of such Event of Default, shall become immediately due and payable with interest on such sums at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of the Event of Default. Annual Rent during the Sixth Floor and Seventh Floor Expansion Premises Rent Concession Periods shall be calculated at $21.00 per rentable square foot of space in the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises and Seventh Floor Expansion Premises, as applicable.

Tenant’s obligation for the unamortized portion of abated Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs not collected during the Sixth and Seventh Expansion Premises Rent Concession Periods, and the reduced Rent during the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises Rent Reduction Period shall be independent of and in addition to Landlord’s other damages pursuant to Article 19.00 of the Lease. Abated Annual Rent and Occupancy Costs during the Sixth and Seventh Expansion Premises Rent Concession Periods, and the reduced Rent during the Sixth Floor Expansion Premises Rent Reduction Period shall be amortized using an 8% interest factor on a straight-line basis over the initial Term of the Lease.

 

If the Sixth or Seventh Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, the monthly installment of Annual Rent for the month in which the applicable Rent Commencement Date occurs shall be prorated on a daily basis in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 4.05 of the Lease.

 

5.                                      Occupancy Costs.
