In the event that Tenant commits an Event of Default, then and only then may Landlord draw on the Letter of Credit an amount reasonably necessary to cure the Event of Default, in which case such cash proceeds will be deposited in an interest bearing account maintained by Landlord (which account may also contain the security deposits of other tenants or other sums) for Landlord’s benefit only; provided, however, that if such Event of Default is separately cured by Tenant, such cash proceeds will be held as part of the Security Deposit and applied by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.04. Any cash portion of the Security Deposit held by Landlord shall accrue interest at a standard money market savings account rate of interest, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and any such interest shall be deemed to be a part of the Security Deposit, which interest shall be fully refundable to Tenant under the same terms and conditions as the Security Deposit principle. The Security Deposit will be refunded by Landlord to Tenant upon the Expiration Date, or if any Renewal Options are exercised, then at the end of the of the final Renewal Term, or upon the earlier termination of the Lease within thirty (30) days of such applicable period, less any amounts to which Landlord is entitled to retain due to an Event of Default.

 

(b) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Letter of Credit subject to the following terms and conditions. Such Letter of Credit shall be (i) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit S, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference; (ii) issued by a commercial bank meeting all the requirements set forth below in this section 2.04(b); (iii) made payable to, and expressly transferable and assignable by the owner from time to time of the Building or, at Landlord’s option, the holder of any mortgage (which transfer/assignment shall be conditioned only upon the execution of a written document in connection therewith); (iv) payable at sight upon presentment to a local branch of the issuer of a simple sight draft or certificate stating that Landlord is entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit; (v) of a term not less than one year with provisions for automatic renewal at the end of each year until December 31, 2006, on which date the letter of credit will expire and not be renewed; and (vi) at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall be renewed (or automatically and unconditionally extended) from time to time for an additional term of not less than one year until the Letter of Credit has been reduced to zero in accordance with the three (3) year reduction schedule specified in Section 2.04(c) below. Landlord agrees to promptly return the letter of credit to Tenant after December 31, 2006 if it has not been otherwise tendered to the issuer for payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant fails to timely comply with the requirements of subsection (vi) above, then Landlord shall have the right to immediately draw upon the Letter of Credit without notice to Tenant and apply the proceeds to fund the Security

Any failure or refusal of the issuer to honor the Letter of Credit shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Security Deposit.

 

(c) Provided that, if as of the applicable Reduction Date, as defined below, no Event of Default exists, then Tenant shall have the right to amend the Letter of Credit to lower amounts on the calendar table set forth (each a “Reduction Date”).

  1. First day of the 34th lease month through last day of the 36th lease month = $42,000

Landlord covenants and represents to Tenant that under no circumstances will Landlord grant to IBM any right to exercise, extend, expand, or add any new, additional or revised leasehold right of any kind, form or nature which are in excess of, or different from, those rights expressly provided in the IBM Lease as it reads as of the Effective Date of the Fifth Amendment to the Lease.
