Tenant pays the next three months rent and all additional rent due under the lease in a timely manner and. prior to its vacating the premises, pays the three remaining months rent and additional rent due. For example, if the Termination Notice is given February 1, 2000 for a Termination date of August 1, 2000, then rent and additional rent shall be paid February 1, March 1 and April 1; three months rent and additional rent shall be paid April 20 and Tenant shall vacate on April 30, 2000, 4. The Tenant vacates and surrenders the Premises and leaves it in a broom-clean condition three months prior to the Termination Date.

The Termination Fee is the unamortized amount as of the date of the Termination Notice of the sum of the costs relating to tenant improvement work plus interest as shown on the attached schedule.
