Notwithstanding the provisions of [Section 14.5(a)] above, if # an interruption or curtailment, suspension or stoppage of an Essential Service (as said term is hereinafter defined) shall occur, except if any of the same is due to any act or neglect of Tenant or any Agent, or is an event which is covered by the provisions of Article XVII or Article XVIII of this Lease (any such interruption of an Essential Service being hereinafter referred to as a “Service Interruption”), and # as a result of such Service Interruption, the Premises becomes untenantable so that for the Abatement Eligibility Period (as hereinafter defined) Tenant is unable to and does not in fact conduct its business in the affected portion of the Premises during the entirety of the Abatement Eligibility Period by reason of such untenantability, then there shall be an abatement of one day’s Rent and additional rent for each day during which such Service Interruption continues after the Abatement Eligibility Period until such date that the Premises or the affected portion thereof shall be rendered tenantable (or such earlier date, if any, as Tenant shall reoccupy the Premises or the affected portion thereof for the conduct of its business); provided, however, that if any part of the Premises is reasonably useable for Tenant’s normal business operations or if Tenant conducts all or any part of its operations in any portion of the Premises notwithstanding such Service Interruption, then the amount of each daily abatement of Rent and additional rent shall only be proportionate to the nature and extent of the interruption of Tenant’s normal operations or ability to use the Premises. For the purposes hereof, the “Abatement Eligibility Period” shall be defined as thirty (30) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant of the Service Interruption causing untenantability in the Premises, unless such Service Interruption is within the reasonable control of Landlord to remedy (and Landlord is not impeded by reason of any force majeure event) or such Service Interruption was caused by Landlord’s willful misconduct, in which case the Abatement Eligibility Period shall be five (5) consecutive Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice.

A Service Interruption will not be deemed to have occurred if Tenant introduces into the Premises personnel or equipment which overloads the capacity of the Building systems or in any other way interferes with any building system’s ability to perform its proper functions, including, without limitation, Tenant’s design, layout or occupancy level of the Premises in a manner which inhibits the HVAC system’s ability to perform properly in the manner designed.
