All representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement, and covenants required to be performed of Seller under this Agreement prior to Closing, shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deeds for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing (the “Survival Period”).  Any right of action for the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein shall not merge with the deeds delivered at the Closing but shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period, and before the expiration thereof the party claiming a breach must have delivered written notice of such claim to Seller and within forty-five (45) days of the expiration of the Survival Period have filed an action in a court of competent jurisdiction, and any warranty and representation not specified in such notice and action shall expire.  Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer agree that each shall be liable for the direct and actual, but not special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages resulting from any breach of its representations, warranties or covenants expressly set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that: (i) following Closing, the total liability of Seller for all such breaches of its representations and warranties under this Agreement shall not, in the aggregate, exceed two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the Purchase Price (the “Claim Cap”); and (ii) following Closing, the total liability of Buyer for all such breaches shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the Claim Cap.  Buyer further agrees that, following the Closing, no claim may or shall be made for any alleged breach of any representations or warranties made by Seller under or relating to this Agreement unless the amount of such claim or claims, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds Fifteen Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($15,000.00) (the “Basket”) (in which event the full amount of such valid claims against Seller shall be actionable up to, but not in excess of, the Claim Cap).  In the event that Seller breaches any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any material respect, and Buyer had actual knowledge of such breach on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any right of recovery, and Seller shall not have any liability to Buyer in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or reduce any rights of Buyer, as landlord, or the obligations of Tenant under the AUB Lease.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11, Tenant shall not be required to make a replacement of any item in the event that a repair will provide adequate functionality to the item,  would be customary and reasonable in Comparable Buildings and compliant with applicable Law. Repairs and replacements called for as a result of fire and/or other casualty and condemnation shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 19 and 20 hereof, respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord (and not Tenant) shall be responsible for repair of all damage to the extent solely caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  In connection with the foregoing, but in no way expanding Tenant’s obligations shall include without limitation, to the extent applicable:

​

21

​

and condition all doors (both swinging and roll-up doors), including, without limitation, all weather seals;

​

22

​

expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto; or (iii) maintain the Premises (including any parking or common areas which comprise part of the Premises) in any way.  Tenant hereby expressly and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by Law, the right to make repairs or perform any maintenance at the expense of Landlord which right may be provided for in any Law in effect at the time of the execution and delivery of this Lease or which may hereafter be enacted.  Tenant hereby assumes the full and sole responsibility for the condition, operation, repair, replacement, maintenance and management of the Premises.  However, on default of Tenant beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods in making such repairs or replacements, Landlord may, but shall not be required to make such repairs and replacements for Tenant’s account and the expense thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand with interest at the Default Rate.

12.Compliance with Laws.

Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, use and maintain the Premises in compliance with all Laws, and Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all Laws applicable to or having jurisdiction over the use, occupancy, operation, and maintenance of the Premises, including without limitation, all Environmental Laws, the ADA and other access laws and those which require the making of any structural, unforeseen or extraordinary changes and including those which involve a change of policy on the part of the governmental body enacting the same.  Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all Encumbrances affecting the Premises or any portion thereof (other than Landlord’s obligations to pay debt service to any Landlord Mortgagee under any Landlord Mortgage). Tenant, at its sole expense, shall comply with the requirements of policies of special form insurance coverage at any time in force with respect to the Premises as required pursuant to Section 16 hereof and with the provisions of all contracts, agreements and restrictions affecting the Premises or any part thereof in effect as of the date hereof or the ownership, occupancy or use thereof.  Without diminishing the obligations of Tenant, if Tenant shall at any time fail to comply as promptly as reasonably practicable with any Law

​

23

​

applicable to the Premises, or the use and occupation thereof, Landlord may cause the Premises to so comply and the reasonable costs and expenses of Landlord in such compliance shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

13.Surrender of Premises.

Upon the expiration of this Lease pursuant to its terms (or, in the event of a termination of this Lease on a date other than the scheduled Expiration Date of this Lease, as promptly as commercially practicable thereafter (but in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter during which Tenant shall be liable for holdover rent pursuant to Section 30 hereof)), Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises, including all Alterations constructed by Tenant therein (other than Alterations that Tenant is required to remove in accordance with Section 14 below), with all fixtures appurtenant thereto (but not including furnishings, trade fixtures, furniture, computers, telephone systems, machinery, equipment and other Personal Property installed or placed on the Premises by Tenant) (collectively, “Tenant’s Personal Property”), free and clear of any occupants or tenancies (including subtenancies) (other than subtenants under subleases as in effect on the date hereof) and in compliance with Laws (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws) to the extent required by Section 12 and Section 28, and in as good (or better) condition and repair as is required pursuant to Section 11, reasonable wear and tear and damage from fire or other casualty excepted. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent there is any safe or bank vault in the Premises, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove such safe or vault; provided further that Tenant shall not remove any safe or vault without Landlord’s prior written consent. Any of Tenant’s Personal Property installed or placed on the Premises by Tenant or any subtenant or assignee of Tenant, if not removed within thirty (30) days after termination or expiration of this Lease shall be deemed abandoned and become the property of Landlord without any payment or offset therefor if Landlord so elects.  If Landlord shall not so elect, Landlord may remove such property from the Premises and have it stored or disposed of at Tenant’s risk and expense.  Tenant shall repair and restore and save Landlord harmless from all damage to the Premises caused by such removal by Landlord except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

14.Alterations.

​

24

In the event of a sublease, if there exists an Event of Default, Landlord may collect rent from the subtenant without waiving any rights under this Lease while such Event of Default is continuing. Any rent Landlord may collect from any such subtenant will be first applied to the Rent due and payable under this Lease and any other amounts then due and payable and then applied to the Rent as it becomes due and payable under this Lease. The collection of the Rent and any other sums due and payable under this Lease, from a person other than Tenant shall not be a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights under this Section 22(h), an acceptance of assignee or subtenant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease for the Premises, notwithstanding any such sublease. On or before the effective date of such sublease, Tenant shall provide to Landlord, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, an acknowledgment and affirmation from such sublessee or a copy of the sublease, providing that such sublessee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Lease with respect to the Premises being subleased and that Tenant agree that they remain liable for the full and punctual performance of all of the terms and obligations of this Lease.

23.Liens.

Tenant will not, directly or indirectly, create or permit to be created or to remain, and will promptly discharge, at its expense, any mechanic’s, supplier’s or vendor’s lien, encumbrance or charge on the Premises or any part hereof.  The existence of any mechanic’s, supplier’s or vendor’s lien, or any right in respect thereof, shall not constitute a violation of this Section 23 if payment is not yet due upon the contract or for the goods or services in respect of which any such lien has arisen or, if Tenant is protesting or challenging such lien in good faith and has, within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives actual notice of such lien, bonded over such lien.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, expressed or implied, of any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to or for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Premises or any part thereof, and any such contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor shall look solely to Tenant and Tenant’s interest in the Premises to secure the payment of any bills for any labor, services, or materials furnished.  Notice is hereby given that Landlord will not be liable for any labor, services or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant, or to anyone holding the Premises or any part thereof through or

​

63

​

substantially complies with applicable Law and cooperated with the requirements of such governmental authority regarding approvals, permitting, registration, licensing, or similar legal requirements for the conduct of Tenant or Landlord’s business or the construction on or operation of all or any portion of the Premises) (“Force Majeure”), which period shall not exceed more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate; provided, that this provision shall not apply to failures by a party to comply with its respective monetary obligations, which shall include any obligation that can be satisfied by the payment of a liquidated sum.

56.Landlord Reimbursement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of this Lease, “at no cost or expense to Landlord”, “at Tenant’s sole cost and expense” or similar phrases shall require Tenant to reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and/or other consultants’ fees) actually incurred in connection with any applicable action taken by or consent requested from Landlord.
