17. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDOVER

17.1 Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (for any reason whatsoever), Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises in its “as is” condition on the Effective Date, but broom clean and clear of debris caused by Tenant, subject to the effects of ordinary wear and tear and depreciation arising from lapse of time and damage without fault or liability of Tenant, including without limitation damage by Casualty or loss by condemnation. Tenant shall not have any repair, restoration, maintenance or removal obligation, except as expressly provided in this Lease (including, without limitation, Section 11). Tenant may at any time during the Term or renewal thereof remove any trade fixture or any equipment which Tenant has installed in the Premises, providing said Tenant repairs any damages caused by said removal.

17.2 Subject to Sections 7 and 11 above, title to all Tenant Property shall remain in Tenant, and Tenant shall have the right to remove Tenant Property upon or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; provided that, as provided in Section 11.1 of this Lease above, Landlord may require Tenant to remove some or all such Tenant Property. Any items of such Tenant Property which shall remain upon the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination by Tenant of the Term may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have

been abandoned, and in such case such items may be retained by Landlord as its property or disposed of by Landlord, without accountability, in such manner as Landlord shall determine. Tenant shall not have any right or obligation to remove cables, wiring or the like that are affixed or otherwise attached to (or embedded with any shafts, ducts or conduits within) any part of the Premises that is located within or behind the surface of walls and floors or within or above ceiling surfaces.

17.3 The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant timely to surrender possession of the Premises as aforesaid will be substantial, will exceed the amount of the rent theretofore payable hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately measure. Accordingly, if Tenant shall fail to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then, throughout the period commencing on such expiration or earlier termination and continuing until Tenant shall have surrendered the Premises (such period, the “Holdover Period”), Tenant shall be deemed a holdover tenant and shall be liable to Landlord for a charge for each day of the Holdover Period, in respect of use and occupancy and all damages incurred by Landlord, equal to 175% of the rate of Basic Rent for the first thirty (30) days during the Holdover Period, equal to 200% of the rate of Basic Rent for the second thirty (30) days during the Holdover Period and equal to 225% of the rate of Basic Rent during the remaining Holdover Period (computed on a per diem basis) payable under this Lease immediately prior to the commencement of the Holdover Period. The foregoing charge be in addition to any Additional Rent payable by Tenant for such holdover period and shall constitute liquidated damages on account of Tenant’s holdover; and Landlord hereby waives any and all right it may have to any further damages on account of Tenant’s holdover. Nothing herein shall be deemed to grant Tenant any right to holdover, and in no event shall the acceptance of any such charge preclude Landlord from commencing and prosecuting any holdover or eviction proceeding (but Landlord shall not claim, nor shall it be entitled to, any damages, as part of such proceeding, beyond the aforementioned per diem charge, the Additional Rent payable during such holdover period, and its costs of prosecuting such holdover or eviction proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements directly relating thereto).
