5.          Cancellation.

or substantially all of the Project is leased to one tenant during the term of this Lease, Landlord may cancel this Lease and terminate
Tenant’s right of occupancy hereunder by giving nine (9) months written notice of such cancellation to Tenant. Within ten
(10) days after Tenant vacates the Premises, provided, (1) Tenant is not then in default under the terms of the Lease, and (2)
Tenant has vacated the Premises within the aforesaid nine (9) month period, Landlord shall pay to Tenant a sum equal to the total
of three (3) months Monthly Rent, the remaining unamortized cost of leasehold improvements installed by Tenant (amortized over
a period not to exceed the length of the term of the Lease), and any remaining security deposit; upon the payment of which, each
party shall be released from further obligation to the other.


 


6.          Relocation.
For the purpose of maintaining a proper and acceptable economic distribution of tenants throughout the Project, Landlord shall
have the right during the term of this Lease to relocate the Premises within the Project on the following terms and conditions:
(a) the square footage of the Premises in the new location is equal to the square footage of the Premises in the existing location
(subject to a variation of up to ten percent (10%), provided the amount of Monthly Rent payable under this Lease is not increased);
(b) if the prevailing rental rate for the new location is less than the amount being paid for the present location, the Rent shall
be reduced to equal the then prevailing Rent for the new location; (c) Landlord shall pay the cost of providing tenant improvements
in the new location comparable to the tenant improvements in the existing location; (d) Landlord shall pay the expenses reasonably
incurred by Tenant in connection with such substitution of Premises, including but not limited to costs of moving, door lettering,
telephone relocation and reasonable quantities of new stationery. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of Landlord’s
election to relocate the Premises, specifying the new location and the amount of Rent payable therefor at least nine (9) months
prior to the date the relocation is to be effective.
