7. Insurance and Indemnity.
(a) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, subject to the terms and conditions of the Condominium, keep the Premises and all of Tenant’s equipment and property insured for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant: (i) in an amount which shall be sufficient to prevent Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer of any loss (but in no event in an amount less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement value thereof), against loss or damage by fire, and such other risks and hazards as are insurable under then available standard forms of insurance policies with extended coverage.

(c) During such time as Tenant shall be performing any Alteration, Tenant shall carry or caused to be carried worker’s compensation insurance covering all persons employed in connection with the Alteration in statutory limits.

party only, shall (if it can be so written and either does not result in additional premium or the other party agrees to pay upon demand any additional resulting premium) include provisions denying to the insurer acquisition by subrogation of rights of recovery against the other. Both Landlord and Tenant, to the extent permitted by the applicable policy, hereby waive any rights of recovery against the other for any direct damage or consequential loss normally covered by such policies, against which such party is protected by insurance, to the extent of the proceeds paid under such policies, whether or not such damage or loss shall have been caused by any acts or omissions of the other party.
5.a.(d) In no event shall the limits of said insurance policies be considered as limiting the liability of Tenant under this Lease. In the event that Tenant shall fail to obtain or maintain in full force and effect any insurance coverage required to be obtained by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may (but Landlord shall have no obligation to do so) procure same from insurance carriers as Landlord may deem proper, irrespective that a lesser premium for such insurance coverage may have been obtained from another insurance carrier, and Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent, upon demand of Landlord, any and all premiums, costs, charges and expenses incurred or expended by Landlord in obtaining such insurance. Notwithstanding that Landlord may procure insurance coverage required of Tenant hereunder, Landlord shall in no manner be liable to Tenant for any insufficiency or failure of coverage with regard to such insurance or any loss to Tenant occasioned thereby, and additionally, the procurement of such insurance by Landlord shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Lease to maintain insurance coverage in the types and amounts herein specified, and Tenant shall nevertheless hold Landlord harmless from any loss or damage incurred or suffered by Landlord from Tenant’s failure to maintain such insurance.

Tenant shall, during the entire Term hereof, keep in full force and effect a policy of plate glass insurance covering all the plate glass of the Premises, in amounts satisfactory to Landlord. The policy shall name Landlord as additional insured and shall contain a clause that the insurer will not cancel or change the insurance without first giving the Landlord twenty (20) days prior notice. A copy of the policy together with the declarations page therefore shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of the Term of this Lease.

Upon such repossession of the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to recover, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, a sum of money equal to the present value of the Rent provided herein to be paid by Tenant to Landlord for the remainder of the Term, less the present value of the fair rental value of the Premises for said period, such present value to be computed in each case on the basis of a four (4%) percent per annum discount. Upon the happening of any one or more of the Events of Default, Landlord may repossess the Premises by forcible entry or detainer suit, or otherwise, without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant (except as hereinabove expressly provided for) and without terminating this Lease, in which event Landlord may relet all or any part of the Premises for such rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord (including the right to relet the Premises for a term greater or lesser than that remaining under the Term of this Lease or otherwise). For the purpose of such reletting, Landlord may decorate or make any repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to the Premises that may be necessary or convenient. If Landlord does not relet the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, a sum equal to the amount of Rent herein to be paid by Tenant for the remainder of the Lease Term. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting after paying all of the expenses of such decorations, repairs, changes, alterations, or additions, the expenses therefrom (including but not by way of limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and brokers’ commissions), to pay the remainder of the Rent to be paid by Tenant over the Lease term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand any deficiency.
(d) Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term of this Lease would have expired or limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. All the remedies hereinbefore given to
Landlord and all rights and remedies given to it at law and in equity shall be cumulative and concurrent.
20. Access by Landlord.
Landlord or Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all times to examine the same and to show them to prospective purchasers of the Unit, and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, and Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon said Premises that may be required therefor, without the same constituting an eviction of Tenant in whole or in part and the Rent reserved shall in no way abate while said repairs, alterations, improvements, or additions are being made, by reason of loss or interruption of business of Tenant, or otherwise. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever, for the care, maintenance, or repair of the Premises or any part thereof, except as otherwise herein specifically provided. Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable notice during business hours prior to any entry. In the exercise of its rights under this Article 11, Landlord shall make reasonable efforts not to interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.
21. Quiet Enjoyment.
Upon payment by the Tenant of the Rent and other charges herein provided, and upon the observance and performance of all the covenants, terms and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the term hereby demised without hindrance or interruption by Landlord or any other person or persons lawfully or equitably claiming by, through or under the Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
22. Miscellaneous.
(a) No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent herein stipulated to be paid shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided herein or by law.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall look solely to the interest of the other in the Premises, as the case may be, for satisfaction of any remedy it may have hereunder or in connection herewith and shall not look to any other assets of the other or of any other person, firm or corporation. There shall be absolutely no personal liability on the part of any present or future stockholder, member, principal, or any officer, director, trustee, member or affiliate of Landlord or Tenant or any partners of such partnership or any of its successors or assigns with respect to any obligation hereunder or in connection herewith.
(l) If any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, the application of such term, covenant or condition to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each
