Subject to Section 3.05 below, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Minimum Annual Rent in the amounts of the Monthly Rental Installments set forth in Section 1.01(e) above, in advance, without demand, abatement, counterclaim, recoupment, deduction or offset, beginning on the Commencement Date, and, thereafter, on or before the first day of each and every calendar month thereafter during the Lease Term.
