If Lessee’s right to receive a credit for the Abated Base Rent occurs during a period when Base Rental is abated pursuant to another provision of this Lease (“Overlap Period”), Lessee’s right to receive the Abated Base Rent shall be suspended until Lessee’s right to receive abated Base Rental pursuant to another provision of this Lease ceases and Lessee, subject to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, shall receive a credit against the payment of Base Rental next falling due in the amount equal to the Abated Base Rent suspended pursuant to this sentence.”
