However, Tenant shall not be liable for any rent until the Commencement Date occurs as provided in Section 3.1 above, except that if Landlord’s failure to substantially complete all work required of Landlord pursuant to Section 3.1 above is attributable to any Tenant Delay described in the Work Letter attached to this Lease), then the Premises shall be deemed ready for occupancy, and Landlord shall be entitled to full performance by Tenant (including the payment of rent), as of the date Landlord would have been able to substantially complete such work and deliver the Premises to Tenant but for Tenant’s delay(s).

However, Tenant shall not be liable for any rent until the Commencement Date occurs as provided in Section 3.1 above, except that if Landlord’s failure to substantially complete all work required of Landlord pursuant to Section 3.1(i) above is attributable to any action or inaction by Tenant (including without limitation any Tenant Delay described in the Work Letter, if any, attached to this Lease), then the Premises shall be deemed ready for occupancy, and Landlord shall be entitled to full performance by Tenant (including the payment of rent), as of the date Landlord would have been able to substantially complete such work and deliver the Premises to Tenant but for Tenant’s delay(s).

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord, for any reason whatsoever cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions, this Lease will not be void or voidable, nor will Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but in that event, the Term will commence on the earlier of: # the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant or # the date Landlord would have delivered possession of the Premises to Tenant but for any reason attributable to Tenant.

Delivery of Possession. If Landlord is delayed in Landlord’s ability to deliver possession of all or any portion of the Premises to Tenant as otherwise required herein whether because of strikes, labor difficulties, difficulties in obtaining materials, fire, governmental regulations, or any other circumstances beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (including, without limitation, the failure of existing tenants to vacate), then such delay shall not constitute a breach or default on the part of the Landlord under this Lease or give rise to any claims of damage or expenses of any kind against the Landlord by Tenant, either direct or consequential; provided that if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the entire Premises or if Landlord has not completed Landlord’s Work by the Term Commencement Date, then Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law and in equity shall be that the Term Commencement Date, the Term Expiration Date and schedule of Annual Base Rent and Annual Electricity Charge shall be adjusted to reflect any such delay.

Delay in Possession. Landlord agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant by the Commencement Date. If, despite said efforts, Landlord is unable to deliver possession by such date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or change the Expiration Date.

Lessee shall not, however, be obligated to pay Rent or perform its other obligations until Lessor delivers possession of the Premises and any period of rent abatement that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery of possession and continue for a period equal to what Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed under the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts or omissions of Lessee (See also Paragraph 55.)

If such written notice is not received by Lessor within said 10 day period, Lessee's right to cancel shall terminate.

The Term Commencement Date” shall be the date Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant. Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord written acknowledgment of the actual Term Commencement Date within ten (10) days after Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises, in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto. Failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment, however, shall not affect the Term Commencement Date or Landlord’s or Tenant’s liability hereunder. Failure by Tenant to obtain any governmental licensing or similar governmental approval of the Premises required for the Permitted Use by Tenant shall not serve to extend the Term Commencement Date. Tenant agrees that in the event Landlord does not tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Estimated Term Commencement Date for any reason, then # this Lease shall not be void or voidable and # Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to any Force Majeure (as hereinafter defined) or any action or omission of Tenant that delays the delivery of the Premises to Tenant, if Landlord has not tendered possession of the Premises to Tenant by the day that is sixty (60) days after the Estimated Term Commencement Date, the per diem Base Rent shall abate by one (1) day for each day after such 60th day that Landlord has not delivered the Premises to Tenant. If possession of Landlord’s delivery of the Premises to Tenant is delayed by any action or omission of Tenant, then the Term Commencement Date shall be the date that the Term Commencement Date would have occurred but for such delay.

Delivery; Acceptance of Premises; Commencement Date. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant on or before the Target Commencement Date, with Landlord’s Work Substantially Completed, vacant, the Premises as set forth in the Work Letter for Substantial Completion and Common Areas serving the same in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements (to the extent non-compliance has a material adverse effect on Tenant’s use of the Premises), and with all Building Systems serving the Premises for which Landlord is responsible under the Lease in good working order (other than as a result of Tenant actions or omissions) (“Delivery” or “Deliver”). If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and this Lease shall not be void or voidable except as provided herein. If Landlord does not Deliver the Premises within 60 days of the Target Commencement Date for any reason other than Force Majeure delays and Tenant Delays, then Tenant shall receive a credit of one (1) day’s free Base Rent for each day of delay after such 60th day (other than delays due to Force Majeure and Tenant Delays) until Landlord Delivers the Premises. If Landlord does not Deliver the Premises within 180 days of the Target Commencement Date for any reason other than Force Majeure delays and Tenant Delays, then this Lease may be terminated by Tenant by written notice to Landlord, and if so terminated: # the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof (i.e., after deducting therefrom all amounts to which Landlord is entitled under the provisions of this Lease), and first months’ rent shall be returned to Tenant, and # neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Lease, except with respect to provisions which expressly survive termination of this Lease. As used herein, the terms “Landlord’s Work,” “Tenant’s Work,” “Tenant Delays” and “Substantially Completed” shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Work Letter. If Tenant does not elect to void this Lease within 30 days of the lapse of such 180-day period, such right to void this Lease shall be waived and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and for the avoidance of any doubt, the termination rights provided for in this paragraph shall terminate on the Commencement Date.
