Termination Option, but vacates the Premises before the Termination Date, all Lease terms shall remain binding (including the original Termination Date), and

Suitemates will not have keys to Tenant’s bedroom and Tenant will not have keys to Tenant’s Suitemates’ bedrooms. Because Landlord may need access to the
