CONSTRUCTION. If specified above in Section 7 of the Variable Lease Terms, construction may be ongoing at the Property. Tenant acknowledges that

there may be inconveniences associated with such construction, and Tenant agrees that the Rent specified in Section 5 of the Variable Lease Terms section is fair

the basis for a complaint against Landlord for rent relief, or any other claim, right, or remedy against Landlord, including constructive eviction. Although an

estimated completion date may be specified, Landlord does not guarantee such construction completion date. Landlord will require the construction to be done in a

commercially workmanlike and reasonable manner, and the general hours of construction will be specified in the Variable Lease Terms section.

terminate this Lease.

reason,except if such failure is willful, such failure shall not constitute a violation of this Lease and Landlord will not be liable for the delay, nor shall such failure

affect this Lease’s validity or extend the term of this Lease. The parties hereby agree that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Rent or perform any other obligation

under the Lease (other than pay the amounts due and owing as specified in Section 5 of the Variable Lease Terms section) until Landlord tenders possession of the

Premises to Tenant. If Landlord has not tendered possession of the Premises to Tenant within three (3) days of the Commencement Date, Tenant may cancel this

Lease upon written notice to Landlord any time before Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant, and any payments made under this Lease will be

refunded to Tenant.

Tenant must deliver to Landlord (1) a written notice stating that Tenant has elected to exercise the Early Termination Option and identifying the date of such early

termination (“Early Termination Date”), and (2) all Rent and additional Rent due through the Early Termination Date. When Landlord acknowledges receiving the

written notice and payment from Tenant, the Termination Date of this Lease shall be deemed amended to be the Early Termination Date. The Early Termination

Date must be a date within the parameters described in Section 2 of the Variable Lease Terms section of this Lease. The Early Termination Option may be exercised

only if Tenant is not in default under the Lease at the time that Tenant gives notice of the exercise of the Early Termination Option. All remaining Lease terms will

remain in full force and effect.

If Tenant provides the notice unaccompanied by the required payments, the Early Termination Date will not be changed, and any such written notice from Tenant

shall be deemed null and void.
