Without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable in damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service, or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, renewals, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas or other fuel, or water, at the Office Unit after reasonable effort so to do, by any accident or casualty whatsoever by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. Such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease.

The Lessor will not be responsible or liable to the Lessee or to any person claiming by, through or under the Lessee for the failure of any equipment or machinery on the Land or the in the Building or for their ineffectual operation or for any damage or loss caused by or arising out of them or for the interruption of any services, including the supply of electricity, gas and water.

Interruption. Except as expressly provided herein, Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability to Tenant for failure, interruption or unavailability of any services, facilities, utilities, repairs or replacements or for any failure or inability to provide access or to perform any other obligation under this Lease to the extent caused by breakage, accident, fire, flood or other casualty, strikes or other labor trouble, order or regulation of or by any governmental authority not in effect on the Commencement Date, unusually inclement weather, inability to obtain or shortages of utilities, supplies, labor or materials, war, civil commotion or other emergency, transportation difficulties or due to any wrongful act or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s servants, agents, employees or licensees or for any other cause, and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any indirect or consequential damages suffered by Tenant due to any such failure, interruption, inadequacy, defect or unavailability; and failure or omission on the part of Landlord to furnish any of same for any of the reasons set forth in this paragraph shall not be construed as an eviction of Tenant, actual or constructive, nor entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent, nor render the Landlord liable in damages, nor release Tenant from prompt fulfillment of any of its covenants under this Lease.

Interruption. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability to Tenant for failure, interruption, inadequacy, defect or unavailability of any services, facilities, utilities, repairs or replacements or for any failure or inability to provide access or to perform any other obligation under this Lease caused by breakage, accident, fire, flood or other casualty, strikes or other labor trouble, order or regulation of or by any governmental authority, inclement weather, repairs, inability to obtain or shortages of utilities, supplies, labor or materials, war, civil commotion or other emergency, transportation difficulties or due to any act or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s servants, agents, employees or licensees or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any indirect or consequential damages suffered by Tenant due to any such failure, interruption, inadequacy, defect or unavailability; and failure or omission on the part of Landlord to furnish any of same for any of the reasons set forth in this paragraph shall not be construed as an eviction of Tenant, actual or constructive, nor entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent, nor render the Landlord liable in damages, nor release Tenant from prompt fulfillment of any of its covenants under this Lease. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any unreasonable disturbance of Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises and, except in the event of an emergency, to consult with Tenant in advance of any such work which is reasonably expected to be disruptive as to the scheduling of any such planned repair work.

Interruption of Utilities or Services. Landlord will not be liable to Tenant or any other person for direct or consequential damages (including, without limitation, damages to persons or property or for injury to, or interruption of, business), Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent except as expressly set forth in this Section 16.3, nor shall a constructive eviction exist or shall Tenant be released from any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease # for any failure to supply any heat, air conditioning, elevator, cleaning, lighting or security or for any surges or interruptions of electricity, telecommunications or other service Landlord has agreed to supply during any period when Landlord uses reasonable diligence to supply such services; # as a result of the admission to or exclusion from the Building or Project of any person; or # for any discontinuance permitted under this Article XVI. Landlord reserves the right temporarily to discontinue the services set forth in the foregoing sentence, or any of them, at such times as may be necessary by reason of accident, repairs, alterations or improvement, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of God, governmental preemption in connection with a national or local emergency, any rule, order or regulation of any governmental agency, conditions of supply and demand which make any product unavailable, Landlord's compliance with any mandatory or voluntary governmental energy conservation or environmental protection program, or any other happening beyond the control of Landlord. In the event of invasion, mob, riot, public excitement or other circumstances rendering such action advisable in Landlord's reasonable opinion, Landlord will have the right to prevent access to the Building or Project during the continuance of the same by such means as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, locking doors and closing Parking Facilities and the Common Areas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any failure to furnish, or any stoppage of, the specified services set forth in this Section 16.3 for a period in excess of five consecutive days, and if: # such interruption is restricted to the Building and is not a neighborhood blackout or caused by an Event of Force Majeure; # such failure to furnish or stoppage is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or by the failure of Landlord to commence and diligently pursue repairs for which Landlord is responsible under this Lease; # such interruption results in the Premises becoming untenantable, or any portion thereof in excess of 25% of the Rentable Square Feet of the Premises, becoming untenantable; and # Tenant actually ceases to occupy the Premises, or any untenantable portion of the Premises, as a result thereof, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent in proportion to the area rendered untenantable and that is unoccupied, which abatement shall commence on the sixth day (and shall not be retroactive) and shall continue for the remainder of the period of such failure to furnish or stoppage of such specified services. As used in this Section 16.3, the specified services are electricity, water, natural gas and sewer service.

Interruption or Unavailability of Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof as a result of any failure of Landlord to provide utilities and services in accordance with this Article 8, then Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such failure. If such failure continues for five (5) consecutive Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of any such notice (the “Eligibility Period”) and is due to Landlord’s or any of its agents or contractors acts or omissions (an “Abatement Event”), then Base Rent and Escalation Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, beginning on the first day after the Eligibility Period elapses, for such time that such Abatement Event continues, either # 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 or # if Tenant is prevented from using a material portion of the Premises and if Tenant ceases using the entire Premises, then Base Rent and Escalation Rent shall be abated in its entirety. Landlord shall use its diligent efforts to promptly restore utilities and services to the extent the cause of such interruption or the means to restore same is within the reasonable control of Landlord. To the extent Tenant is entitled to abatement without regard to the Eligibility Period, because of an event covered by Article 12 or Article 13 of this Lease, then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable.
