For purposes of this Paragraph 25, the term “Substantial Completion” or “Substantially Complete” shall have the same meaning as provided in the Tenant Improvement Agreement with respect to Substantial Completion of the Base Building Improvements.

Rent Abatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and provided that no default by Tenant occurs hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall not be required to pay monthly Base Rent for the second (2nd) month of the initial Term through the eighth (8th) month of the initial Term (the “Abatement Period”). The total amount of monthly Base Rent abated during the Abatement Period shall not exceed Five Hundred Twenty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Eighty and 00/100 Dollars ($526,680.00) (the “Abatement Amount”); provided that the Abatement Amount shall not be increased as a result of any increase in Base Rent arising from Landlord’s disbursement of any Additional TI Allowance in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.4 of this Lease.

No Rent Abatement. Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent due or accruing under this Lease during any Clean-up, and shall not be entitled to any reduction, offset or deferral of any Base Rent or Additional Rent due or accruing under this Lease during any such Clean-up.

Abatement of Rent. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of # any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord, or which Landlord failed to perform, after the Lease Commencement Date and required by this Lease, which substantially interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises, or # any failure to provide or allow services, utilities or access to the Premises as required by this Lease (either such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i) or (ii), above, to be known as an " XE "Abatement Event" Abatement Event"), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord's receipt of any such notice (the " XE "Eligibility Period" Eligibility Period") and either # Landlord does not diligently commence and pursue to completion the remedy of such Abatement Event, # Landlord receives proceeds from its rental interruption insurance which covers such Abatement Event or # Landlord does not complete the remedy of such Abatement Event within ten (10) days from when the Abatement Event commenced, then the Base Rent, Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, for the normal conduct of Tenant's business, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. To the extent an Abatement Event is caused by an event covered by Articles 11 or 13 of this Lease, then Tenant's right to abate rent shall be governed by the terms of such Article 11 or 13, as applicable, and the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable thereto. Such right to abate Base Rent and Tenant's Share of Direct Expenses shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy for rent abatement at law or in equity for an Abatement Event. Except as provided in this Section 19.5.2, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.

Base Rent Abatement. Provided that Tenant is not then in default of the terms of the Lease, after expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant will have no obligation to pay any Base Rent with respect to the Substitute Premises for the period for the first (1st) month of the Substitute Premises Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s Share of annual Direct Expenses shall not be abated during the Substitute Premises Term.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, but subject to paragraph # below, in the event that Tenant receives payments in the nature of rent from any subtenant of the Premises with respect to such subtenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the Abatement Period, net of the reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses which Tenant reasonably incurred in connection with procurement of such sublease, amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of such sublease (“Abatement Period Sublease Rent”), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, an amount (each such amount, an “Abatement Period Sublease Payment”) equal to seventy five percent (75%) of the Abatement Period Sublease Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord any Abatement Period Sublease Payment within fifteen (15) business days after each date that Tenant receives any installment of Abatement Period Sublease Rent from a subtenant, (and, if there are any such payment(s) received by Tenant under or in connection with the sublease other than a monthly payment which are “disguised”, rental payments as described in [Section 7.4] hereof, such payment(s) shall be included in the Abatement Period Sublease Payment as if payable in equal monthly installments over the term of such sublease). No payments to Tenant shall be deemed to be “disguised” Abatement Period Sublease Rent for purposes of the foregoing where Tenant receives an amount which does not exceed fair market value for furniture, fixtures or other items or services in question. Acceptance by Landlord of any Abatement Period Sublease Payment shall not be deemed to constitute approval by Landlord of any sublease, nor shall such acceptance waive any rights of Landlord hereunder. Landlord shall, upon reasonable prior written notice have the right to inspect and audit Tenant’s books and records relating to any sublease, but solely for the limited purpose of verifying the amounts which could reasonably be expected to be due hereunder, and subject to Landlord executing a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement.
