Damages

24.01. If this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or if Landlord shall reenter the Premises under the provisions of Article 23, or in the event of the termination of this lease, or of reentry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord, either:

(a) a sum which at the time of such termination of this lease or at the time of any such reentry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of the excess, if any (assuming a discount at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate then applicable to United States Treasury Bonds having a term which most closely

approximates the period commencing on the date that this lease is so terminated, or the date on which Landlord re-enters the Premises, as the case may be, and ending on the date on which this lease was scheduled to expire but for such termination or reentry, which date shall be the last day of the next succeeding Extension Term if Tenant timely delivered an Extension Election Notice prior to the exercise by Landlord of its rights under Article 22 or 23), of (i) the aggregate amount of the Fixed Rent and the Net Taxes Additional Charges which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the average monthly Net Taxes Additional Charges to be the same as were payable for the last twelve (12) calendar months, or if less than twelve (12) calendar months have then elapsed since the Commencement Date, all of the calendar months immediately preceding such termination or reentry) for the period commencing with such earlier termination of this lease or the date of any such reentry, as the case may be, and ending with the date contemplated as the expiration date hereof if this lease had not so terminated or if Landlord had not so reentered the Premises, which date shall be the last day of the next succeeding Extension Term if Tenant timely delivered an Extension Election Notice prior to the exercise by Landlord of its rights under Article 22 or 23, over (ii) the aggregate fair market rental value of the Premises for the same period, or

(b) sums equal to the Fixed Rent and the Net Taxes Additional Charges which would have been payable by Tenant had this lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so reentered the Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination or such reentry and until the date contemplated as the expiration date hereof if this lease had not so terminated or if Landlord had not so reentered the Premises (which date shall be the last day of the next succeeding Extension Term if Tenant timely delivered an Extension Election Notice prior to the exercise by Landlord of its rights under Article 22 or 23); provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Premises during said period, or receive any other income or consideration in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises or otherwise deriving therefrom (including without limitation through the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds), Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting (or the net amounts of such other income or consideration), such net rents and other amounts to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents from such reletting (or the gross amounts of such other income or consideration) as and when received by Landlord the reasonable and actual expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this lease or in reentering the Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the reasonable and actual expenses of reletting (including, without limitation, altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, reasonable legal fees, and all other customary and reasonable expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom) or of realizing such other income or consideration, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term, which date shall be the last day of the next succeeding Extension Term if Tenant timely delivered an Extension Election Notice prior to the exercise by Landlord of its rights under Article 22 or 23; but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents or other amounts over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord

 

67


hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subdivision to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting or any net amounts of such other income or consideration, except to the extent that such net rents or other amounts are actually received by Landlord. If the Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting.

If the Premises or any part thereof be relet by Landlord for the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall, prima facie, be the fair and reasonable rental value for the Premises, or part thereof, so relet during the term of the reletting, provided that such reletting shall constitute a bona-fide arm’s-length third party transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease, except as may be required by then applicable Legal Requirements, Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Premises or mitigate damages if this lease shall terminate in accordance with Article 22 and Landlord shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for its failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or if the Premises or any part thereof are relet, for its failure to collect the rent under such reletting, and no such failure to relet or failure to collect rent shall release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages or otherwise under this lease.

If Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord shall use or occupy the Premises or any portion thereof following the termination of this lease under the provisions of Article 22, the damages payable by Tenant pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be reduced by the fair market rental value of the Premises or such portion thereof that is so occupied by Landlord or its Affiliate (or by the excess, if any, of such fair market rental value over the amounts, if any, actually paid by Landlord or such Affiliate in connection with such use or occupancy).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall not commence any action for, nor require Tenant to pay damages calculated in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) above prior to the date upon which any rights of any Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to Article 43 (if applicable) to cure Tenant’s default and to request and receive a new lease have expired.

24.02. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or had Landlord not reentered the Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. Nothing

 

68


herein contained shall be construed to limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages by reason of the termination of this lease or reentry on the Premises for the default of Tenant under this lease an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved whether or not such amount be greater than any of the sums referred to in Section 24.01. Except as expressly provided in this lease, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord, for indirect, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary, incidental or other like damages (including, without limitation, damages to Landlord for lost profits or opportunities, or the loss by foreclosure, deed in lieu, or otherwise, of all or any portion of Landlord’s interest in the Premises), even if arising from any act, omission or negligence of such party or from the breach by such party of its obligations under this lease.

24.03. [Intentionally Omitted]

24.04. In addition, if this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or if Landlord shall reenter the Premises under the provisions of Article 23, Tenant agrees that:

(a) the Premises then shall be in the condition in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the expiration of the term hereof;

(b) Tenant shall have performed prior to any such termination any covenant of Tenant contained in this lease for the making of any Alterations or for restoring or rebuilding the Premises or any part thereof; and

(c) for the breach of any covenant of Tenant set forth above in this Section 24.04, Landlord shall be entitled immediately, without notice or other action by Landlord, to recover, and Tenant shall pay, as and for liquidated damages therefor, the cost of performing such covenant (as estimated by a reputable independent contractor selected by Landlord).

24.05. In addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under this lease, and without reducing or adversely affecting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies under Article 22, if any installment of Fixed Rent or of any Additional Charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord is not paid (x) in the case of Fixed Rent, on or prior to the due date thereof, or (y) in the case of Additional Charges payable to Landlord within five (5) Business Days after the due date thereof, the same shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the due date thereof until paid, and the amount of such interest shall be an Additional Charge hereunder; provided, that, if for the month in which there is an increase in Fixed Rent pursuant to Section 1.04(a), Tenant fails to pay the adjusted amount of Fixed Rent (but pays at least the amount of Fixed Rent for the immediately preceding month), interest under this Section 24.05 shall not accrue unless Tenant fails to pay the amount of such shortfall within seven (7) Business Days after receiving notice

 

69


thereof from Landlord, and if Tenant fails to pay such shortfall within said seven (7) Business Day period, interest shall accrue only on the amount of such shortfall from the day such Fixed Rent was first due and payable until the date such shortfall is paid. Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice of any failure of Tenant to pay Fixed Rent and/or Additional Charges; it being understood and agreed that the delivery of any such notice shall not be a condition to the imposition of interest pursuant to this Section 24.05. For the purposes of this Section 24.05, a rent bill sent by first class mail, to the address to which notices are to be given under this lease, shall be deemed a proper demand for the payment of the amounts set forth therein but no such demand shall be required as a condition to the payment thereof. To the extent that Tenant is required under this lease to make any payments directly to third parties on behalf of Landlord, Tenant shall be responsible for any late charges or interest imposed by such third parties in the event that Tenant does not make such payments in a timely manner.

If this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or if Landlord shall reenter the Premises under the provisions of Article 23, or in the event of the termination of this lease, or of reentry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord, either:

(a) a sum which at the time of such termination of this lease or at the time of any such reentry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of the excess, if any (assuming a discount at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate then applicable to United States Treasury Bonds having a term which most closely approximates the period commencing on the date that this lease is so terminated, or the date on which Landlord re-enters the Premises, as the case may be, and ending on the date on which this lease was scheduled to expire but for such termination or reentry, which date shall be the last day of the next succeeding Extension Term if Tenant timely delivered an Extension Election Notice prior to the exercise by Landlord of its rights under Article 22 or 23), of (i) the aggregate amount of the Fixed Rent and the Net Taxes Additional Charges which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the average monthly Net Taxes Additional Charges to be the same as were payable for the last twelve (12) calendar months, or if less than twelve (12) calendar months have then elapsed since the Commencement Date, all of the calendar months immediately preceding such termination or reentry) for the period commencing with such earlier termination of this lease or the date of any such reentry, as the case may be, and ending with the date contemplated as the expiration date hereof if this lease had not so

 

69


terminated or if Landlord had not so reentered the Premises, which date shall be the last day of the next succeeding Extension Term if Tenant timely delivered an Extension Election Notice prior to the exercise by Landlord of its rights under Article 22 or 23, over (ii) the aggregate fair market rental value of the Premises for the same period, or

(b) sums equal to the Fixed Rent and the Net Taxes Additional Charges which would have been payable by Tenant had this lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so reentered the Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination or such reentry and until the date contemplated as the expiration date hereof if this lease had not so terminated or if Landlord had not so reentered the Premises (which date shall be the last day of the next succeeding Extension Term if Tenant timely delivered an Extension Election Notice prior to the exercise by Landlord of its rights under Article 22 or 23); provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Premises during said period, or receive any other income or consideration in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises or otherwise deriving therefrom (including without limitation through the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds), Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting (or the net amounts of such other income or consideration), such net rents and other amounts to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents from such reletting (or the gross amounts of such other income or consideration) as and when received by Landlord the reasonable and actual expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this lease or in reentering the Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the reasonable and actual expenses of reletting (including, without limitation, altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, reasonable legal fees, and all other customary and reasonable expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom) or of realizing such other income or consideration, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term, which date shall be the last day of the next succeeding Extension Term if Tenant timely delivered an Extension Election Notice prior to the exercise by Landlord of its rights under Article 22 or 23; but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents or other amounts over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subdivision to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting or any net amounts of such other income or consideration, except to the extent that such net rents or other amounts are actually received by Landlord. If the Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting.

If the Premises or any part thereof be relet by Landlord for the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall, prima facie, be the fair and reasonable rental value for the Premises, or part thereof, so relet during the term of the reletting, provided that such reletting shall constitute a bona-fide

If Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord shall use or occupy the Premises or any portion thereof following the termination of this lease under the provisions of Article 22, the damages payable by Tenant pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be reduced by the fair market rental value of the Premises or such portion thereof that is so occupied by Landlord or its Affiliate (or by the excess, if any, of such fair market rental value over the amounts, if any, actually paid by Landlord or such Affiliate in connection with such use or occupancy).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall not commence any action for, nor require Tenant to pay damages calculated in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) above prior to the date upon which any rights of any Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to Article 43 (if applicable) to cure Tenant’s default and to request and receive a new lease have expired.

24.02. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or had Landlord not reentered the Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant.

24.03. [Intentionally Omitted]

24.04. In addition, if this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or if Landlord shall reenter the Premises under the provisions of Article 23, Tenant agrees that:

(a) the Premises then shall be in the condition in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the expiration of the term hereof;

(b) Tenant shall have performed prior to any such termination any covenant of Tenant contained in this lease for the making of any Alterations or for restoring or rebuilding the Premises or any part thereof; and

24.05. In addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under this lease, and without reducing or adversely affecting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies under Article 22, if any installment of Fixed Rent or of any Additional Charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord is not paid (x) in the case of Fixed Rent, on or prior to the due date thereof, or (y) in the case of Additional Charges payable to Landlord within five (5) Business Days after the due date thereof, the same shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the due date thereof until paid, and the amount of such interest shall be an Additional Charge hereunder; provided, that, if for the month in which there is an increase in Fixed Rent pursuant to Section 1.04(a), Tenant fails to pay the adjusted amount of Fixed Rent (but pays at least the amount of Fixed Rent for the immediately preceding month), interest under this Section 24.05 shall not accrue unless Tenant fails to pay the amount of such shortfall within seven (7) Business Days after receiving notice thereof from Landlord, and if Tenant fails to pay such shortfall within said seven (7) Business Day period, interest shall accrue only on the amount of such shortfall from the day such Fixed Rent was first due and payable until the date such shortfall is paid.

ARTICLE 25

Damages

24.01. If this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or if Landlord shall reenter the Premises under the provisions of Article 23, or in the event of the termination of this lease, or of reentry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord, either:

(a) a sum which at the time of such termination of this lease or at the time of any such reentry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of the excess, if any (assuming a discount at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate then applicable to United States Treasury Bonds having a term which most closely approximates the period commencing on the date that this lease is so terminated, or the date on which Landlord re-enters the Premises, as the case may be, and ending on the date on which this lease was scheduled to expire but for such termination or reentry), of (i) the aggregate amount of the Fixed Rent and the Net Taxes Additional Charges which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the average monthly Net Taxes Additional Charges to be the same as were payable for the last twelve (12) calendar months, or if less than twelve (12) calendar months have then elapsed since the Commencement Date, all of the calendar months immediately preceding such termination or reentry) for the period commencing with such earlier termination of this lease or the date of any such reentry, as the case may be, and ending with the date contemplated as the expiration date hereof if this lease had not so terminated or if Landlord had not so reentered the Premises, over (ii) the aggregate fair market rental value of the Premises for the same period, or

(b) sums equal to the Fixed Rent and the Net Taxes Additional Charges which would have been payable by Tenant had this lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so reentered the Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination or such reentry and until the date contemplated as the expiration date hereof if this lease had not so terminated or if Landlord had not so reentered the Premises; provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Premises during said period, or receive any other income or consideration in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises or otherwise deriving therefrom (including without limitation through the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds), Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting (or the net amounts of such other income or consideration), such net rents and other amounts to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents from such reletting (or the gross amounts of such other income or consideration) as and when received by Landlord the

 

68


reasonable and actual expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this lease or in reentering the Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the reasonable and actual expenses of reletting (including, without limitation, altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, reasonable legal fees, and all other customary and reasonable expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom) or of realizing such other income or consideration, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this lease; but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents or other amounts over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subdivision to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting or any net amounts of such other income or consideration, except to the extent that such net rents or other amounts are actually received by Landlord. If the Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting.

If the Premises or any part thereof be relet by Landlord for the unexpired portion of the term of this lease, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall, prima facie, be the fair and reasonable rental value for the Premises, or part thereof, so relet during the term of the reletting, provided that such reletting shall constitute a bona-fide arm’s-length third party transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such rental or rentals and upon such other conditions (that may include concessions and free rent periods) as Landlord may reasonably determine, provided, however, that Landlord shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for its failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or if the Premises or any part thereof are relet, for its failure to collect the rent under such reletting, and no such failure to relet or failure to collect rent shall release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages or otherwise under this lease.

If Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord shall use or occupy the Premises or any portion thereof following the termination of this lease under the provisions of Article 22, the damages payable by Tenant pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be reduced by the fair market rental value of the Premises or such portion thereof that is so occupied by Landlord or its Affiliate (or by the excess, if any, of such fair market rental value over the amounts, if any, actually paid by Landlord or such Affiliate in connection with such use or occupancy).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall not commence any action for, nor require Tenant to pay damages calculated in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) above prior to the date upon which any rights of any

 

69


Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to Article 43 (if applicable) to cure Tenant’s default and to request and receive a new lease have expired.

24.02. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the term of this lease would have expired if it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or had Landlord not reentered the Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages by reason of the termination of this lease or reentry on the Premises for the default of Tenant under this lease an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved whether or not such amount be greater than any of the sums referred to in Section 24.01. Notwithstanding any provisions of this lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord, for indirect, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary, incidental or other like damages (including, without limitation, damages to Landlord for lost profits or opportunities, or the loss by foreclosure, deed in lieu, or otherwise, of all or any portion of Landlord’s interest in the Premises), even if arising from any act, omission or negligence of such party or from the breach by such party of its obligations under this lease.

24.03. Intentionally Omitted.

24.04. In addition, if this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or if Landlord shall reenter the Premises under the provisions of Article 23, Tenant agrees that:

(a) the Premises then shall be in the condition in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the expiration of the term hereof;

(b) Tenant shall have performed prior to any such termination any covenant of Tenant contained in this lease for the making of any Alterations or for restoring or rebuilding the Premises or any part thereof; and

(c) for the breach of any covenant of Tenant set forth above in this Section 24.04, Landlord shall be entitled immediately, without notice or other action by Landlord, to recover, and Tenant shall pay, as and for liquidated damages therefor, the cost of performing such covenant (as estimated by a reputable independent contractor selected by Landlord).

 

70


24.05. In addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under this lease, and without reducing or adversely affecting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies under Article 22, if any installment of Fixed Rent or of any Additional Charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord is not paid within five (5) Business Days after the due date thereof, the same shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the due date thereof until paid, and the amount of such interest shall be an Additional Charge hereunder. For the purposes of this Section 24.04, a rent bill sent by first class mail, to the address to which notices are to be given under this lease, shall be deemed a proper demand for the payment of the amounts set forth therein. To the extent that Tenant is required under this lease to make any payments directly to third parties on behalf of Landlord, Tenant shall be responsible for any late charges or interest imposed by such third parties in the event that Tenant does not make such payments in a timely manner.

ARTICLE 25

Damages

24.01. If this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or if Landlord shall reenter the Premises under the provisions of Article 23, or in the event of the termination of this lease, or of reentry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord, either:

(a) a sum which at the time of such termination of this lease or at the time of any such reentry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of the excess, if any (assuming a discount at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate then applicable to United States Treasury Bonds having a term which most closely approximates the period commencing on the date that this lease is so terminated, or the date on which Landlord re-enters the Premises, as the case may be, and ending on the date on which this lease was scheduled to expire but for such termination or reentry), of (i) the aggregate amount of the Fixed Rent and the Additional Charges under Article 3 which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the average monthly Additional Charges under Article 3 to be the same as were payable for the last twelve (12) calendar months, or if less than twelve (12) calendar months have then elapsed since the Commencement Date, all of the calendar months immediately preceding such

termination or reentry) for the period commencing with such earlier termination of this lease or the date of any such reentry, as the case may be, and ending with the date contemplated as the expiration date hereof if this lease had not so terminated or if Landlord had not so reentered the Premises, which date shall be the last day of the next succeeding Extension Term if Tenant timely delivered an Extension Election Notice prior to the exercise by Landlord of its rights under Article 22 or 23, over (ii) the aggregate fair market rental value of the Premises for the same period, or

(b) sums equal to the Fixed Rent and the Additional Charges under Article 3 which would have been payable by Tenant had this lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so reentered the Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination or such reentry and until the date contemplated as the expiration date hereof if this lease had not so terminated or if Landlord had not so reentered the Premises, which date shall be the last day of the next succeeding Extension Term if Tenant timely delivered an Extension Election Notice prior to the exercise by Landlord of its rights under Article 22 or 23; provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Premises during said period, or receive any other income or consideration in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises or otherwise deriving therefrom (including without limitation through the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds), Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting (or the net amounts of such other income or consideration), such net rents and other amounts to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents from such reletting (or the gross amounts of such other income or consideration) as and when received by Landlord the reasonable and actual expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this lease or in reentering the Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the reasonable and actual expenses of reletting (including, without limitation, altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, reasonable legal fees, and all other customary and reasonable expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom) or of realizing such other income or consideration, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term, which date shall be the last day of the next succeeding Extension Term if Tenant timely delivered an Extension Election Notice prior to the exercise by Landlord of its rights under Article 22 or 23; but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents or other amounts over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subdivision to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting or any net amounts of such other income or consideration, except to the extent that such net rents or other amounts are actually received by Landlord. If the Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting.

If the Premises or any part thereof be relet by Landlord for the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such damages to any court,

commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall, prima facie, be the fair and reasonable rental value for the Premises, or part thereof, so relet during the term of the reletting, provided that such reletting shall constitute a bona-fide arm’s-length third party transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease, Landlord shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for its failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or if the Premises or any part thereof are relet, for its failure to collect the rent under such reletting, and no such failure to relet or failure to collect rent shall release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages or otherwise under this lease.

If Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord shall use or occupy the Premises or any portion thereof following the termination of this lease under the provisions of Article 22, the damages payable by Tenant pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be reduced by the fair market rental value of the Premises or such portion thereof that is so occupied by Landlord or its Affiliate (or by the excess, if any, of such fair market rental value over the amounts, if any, actually paid by Landlord or such Affiliate in connection with such use or occupancy).

24.02. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or had Landlord not reentered the Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages by reason of the termination of this lease or reentry on the Premises for the default of Tenant under this lease an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved whether or not such amount be greater than any of the sums referred to in Section 24.01. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this lease, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord, for indirect, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary, incidental or other like damages (including, without limitation, damages to Landlord for lost profits or opportunities, or the loss by foreclosure, deed in lieu, or otherwise, of all or any portion of Landlord’s interest in the Premises), even if arising from any act, omission or negligence of such party or from the breach by such party of its obligations under this lease. Subject to Section 9.04, the foregoing shall not limit the recovery of either party under an indemnity in respect of third party claims (excluding for the avoidance of doubts, claims of the respective parties Affiliates).

24.04. In addition, if this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or if Landlord shall reenter the Premises under the provisions of Article 23, Tenant agrees that:

(a) the Premises then shall be in the condition in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the expiration of the term hereof;

(b) Tenant shall have performed prior to any such termination any covenant of Tenant contained in this lease for the making of any Alterations or for restoring or rebuilding the Premises or any part thereof; and

(c) for the breach of any covenant of Tenant set forth above in this Section 24.04, Landlord shall be entitled immediately, without notice or other action by Landlord, to recover, and Tenant shall pay, as and for liquidated damages therefor, the cost of performing such covenant (as estimated by a reputable independent contractor selected by Landlord).

24.05. In addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under this lease, and without reducing or adversely affecting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies under Article 22, if any installment of Fixed Rent or of any Additional Charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord is not paid (x) in the case of Fixed Rent, on or prior to the due date thereof, or (y) in the case of Additional Charges payable to Landlord within five (5) Business Days after the due date thereof, the same shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the due date thereof until paid, and the amount of such interest shall be an Additional Charge hereunder; provided, that, if for the month in which there is an increase in Fixed Rent pursuant to Section 1.04(a), Tenant fails to pay the adjusted amount of Fixed Rent (but pays at least the amount of Fixed Rent for the immediately preceding month), interest under this Section 24.05 shall not accrue unless Tenant fails to pay the amount of such shortfall within seven (7) Business Days after receiving notice thereof from Landlord, and if Tenant fails to pay such shortfall within said seven (7) Business Day period, interest shall accrue only on the amount of such shortfall from the day Fixed Rent was first due and payable until the date such shortfall is paid. Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice of any failure of Tenant to pay Fixed Rent and/or Additional Charges; it being understood and agreed that the delivery of any such notice shall not be a condition to the imposition of interest pursuant to this Section 24.05. For the purposes of this Section 24.05, a rent bill sent by first class mail, to the address to which notices are to be given under this lease, shall be deemed a proper demand for the payment of the amounts set forth therein but no such demand shall be required as a condition to the payment thereof. To the extent that Tenant is required under this lease to make any payments directly to third parties on behalf of Landlord, Tenant shall be responsible for any late charges or interest imposed by such third parties in the event that Tenant does not make such payments in a timely manner.

Damages

24.01. If this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or if Landlord shall reenter the Premises under the provisions of Article 23, or in the event of the termination of this lease, or of reentry, by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord, either:

(a) a sum which at the time of such termination of this lease or at the time of any such reentry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of the excess, if any (assuming a discount at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate then applicable to United States Treasury Bonds having a term which most closely approximates the period commencing on the date that this lease is so terminated, or the date on which Landlord re-enters the Premises, as the case may be, and ending on the

 

115


date on which this lease was scheduled to expire but for such termination or reentry), of (i) the aggregate amount of the Fixed Rent and the Additional Charges under Article 3 which would have been payable by Tenant (conclusively presuming the average monthly Additional Charges under Article 3 to be the same as were payable for the last twelve (12) calendar months, or if less than twelve (12) calendar months have then elapsed since the Commencement Date, all of the calendar months immediately preceding such termination or reentry) for the period commencing with such earlier termination of this lease or the date of any such reentry, as the case may be, and ending with the date contemplated as the expiration date hereof if this lease had not so terminated or if Landlord had not so reentered the Premises, over (ii) the aggregate fair market rental value of the Premises for the same period, or

(b) sums equal to the Fixed Rent and the Additional Charges under Article 3 which would have been payable by Tenant had this lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so reentered the Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination or such reentry and until the date contemplated as the expiration date hereof if this lease had not so terminated or if Landlord had not so reentered the Premises; provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Premises during said period, or receive any other income or consideration in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises or otherwise deriving therefrom (including without limitation through the receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds), Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting (or the net amounts of such other income or consideration), such net rents and other amounts to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents from such reletting (or the gross amounts of such other income or consideration) as and when received by Landlord the reasonable and actual expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this lease or in reentering the Premises and in securing possession thereof, as well as the reasonable and actual expenses of reletting (including, without limitation, altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, reasonable legal fees, and all other customary and reasonable expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom) or of realizing such other income or consideration, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this lease; but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents or other amounts over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this subdivision to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting or any net amounts of such other income or consideration, except to the extent that such net rents or other amounts are actually received by Landlord. If the Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting.

If the Premises or any part thereof be relet by Landlord for the unexpired portion of the term of this lease, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such damages to

 

116


any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall, prima facie, be the fair and reasonable rental value for the Premises, or part thereof, so relet during the term of the reletting, provided that such reletting shall constitute a bona-fide arm’s-length third party transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such rental or rentals and upon such other conditions (that may include concessions and free rent periods) as Landlord may reasonably determine, provided, however, that Landlord shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for its failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or if the Premises or any part thereof are relet, for its failure to collect the rent under such reletting, and no such failure to relet or failure to collect rent shall release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages or otherwise under this lease.

If Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord shall use or occupy the Premises or any portion thereof following the termination of this lease under the provisions of Article 22, the damages payable by Tenant pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall be reduced by the fair market rental value of the Premises or such portion thereof that is so occupied by Landlord or its Affiliate (or by the excess, if any, of such fair market rental value over the amounts, if any, actually paid by Landlord or such Affiliate in connection with such use or occupancy).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall not commence any action for, nor require Tenant to pay damages calculated in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) above prior to the date upon which any rights of any Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to Article 43 (if applicable) to cure Tenant’s default and to request and receive a new lease have expired.

24.02. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the term of this lease would have expired if it had not been so terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or had Landlord not reentered the Premises. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as damages by reason of the termination of this lease or reentry on the Premises for the default of Tenant under this lease an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved whether or not such amount be greater than any of the sums referred to in Section 24.01. Notwithstanding any provisions of this lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant

 

117


shall not be liable to Landlord, for indirect, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary, incidental or other like damages (including, without limitation, damages to Landlord for lost profits or opportunities, or the loss by foreclosure, deed in lieu, or otherwise, of all or any portion of Landlord’s interest in the Premises), even if arising from any act, omission or negligence of such party or from the breach by such party of its obligations under this lease.

24.03. Intentionally Omitted.

24.04. In addition, if this lease is terminated under the provisions of Article 22, or if Landlord shall reenter the Premises under the provisions of Article 23, Tenant agrees that:

(a) the Premises then shall be in the condition in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the expiration of the term hereof;

(b) Tenant shall have performed prior to any such termination any covenant of Tenant contained in this lease for the making of any Alterations or for restoring or rebuilding the Premises or any part thereof; and

(c) for the breach of any covenant of Tenant set forth above in this Section 24.04, Landlord shall be entitled immediately, without notice or other action by Landlord, to recover, and Tenant shall pay, as and for liquidated damages therefor, the cost of performing such covenant (as estimated by a reputable independent contractor selected by Landlord).

24.05. In addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under this lease, and without reducing or adversely affecting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies under Article 22, if any installment of Fixed Rent or of any Additional Charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord is not paid within five (5) Business Days after the due date thereof, the same shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the due date thereof until paid, and the amount of such interest shall be an Additional Charge hereunder. For the purposes of this Section 24.04, a rent bill sent by first class mail, to the address to which notices are to be given under this lease, shall be deemed a proper demand for the payment of the amounts set forth therein. To the extent that Tenant is required under this lease to make any payments directly to third parties on behalf of Landlord, Tenant shall be responsible for any late charges or interest imposed by such third parties in the event that Tenant does not make such payments in a timely manner.
