Security Deposit Letter of Credit As a condition of this Lease, in lieu of a third-party guaranty, Tenant shall, with delivery of the Lease executed by Tenant, deliver to Landlord an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit, in a form approved by Landlord, from a commercial banking institution which is a member of FDIC with assets of more than $250,000,000.00, approved by Landlord, in the amount of $100,000.00 (“Letter of Credit”) to be held by Landlord as security for the performance by Tenant of all the covenants and obligations of Tenant set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall submit its proposed form of Letter of Credit prior to execution of the Lease for Landlord’s review and approval. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall keep the Letter of Credit in full force and effect throughout the Term of this Lease (and any extension or renewal thereof) and for thirty (30) days following the end thereof. In the event the term of the Letter of Credit must be renewed annually, then not less than thirty (30) days prior to any expiration date of the Letter of Credit (“Renewal Deadline”), Tenant shall provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit or extension amendment. Said Letter of Credit shall contain terms whereby it can be drawn on by Landlord at sight on any date during its term on which issuer shall receive from Landlord a certification signed by Landlord stating that an Event of Default has occurred by Tenant under this Lease or that Tenant has failed to provide a replacement Letter of Credit, as required under the Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord is the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit and the proceeds thereof are not the property of the Tenant. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to apply the proceeds against any or all amounts then due and owing by Tenant hereunder and/or against sums expended by Landlord, including attorneys fees. Such actions by Landlord do not negate Tenant’s obligations to pay Rental thereafter. Any balance left of the sum received from drawing on the Letter of Credit, after the curing of defaults and/or the payment of amounts due by Tenant, shall be held by Landlord, as beneficiary, until the earlier of the replacement of the Letter of Credit, as required below, or thirty (30) days following the end of the Term of this Lease (and any extension or renewal thereof). The original Letter of Credit or any portion of the proceeds which are not utilized by Landlord for any purpose permitted under this Lease shall be returned to the issuing banking institution within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term provided Tenant has performed all of the remaining obligations imposed upon Tenant pursuant to this Lease. In the event Landlord shall draw on any Letter of Credit provided by Tenant, Tenant shall replace same no later than thirty (30) days after the date of such drawing and, if same is not replaced, such failure shall constitute an additional Event of Default under the terms of this Lease and Landlord shall have the benefit of all remedies permitted pursuant to the terms of this Lease and the laws of the State where the Premises are located.
Issuance of Letter of Credit Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.3, the Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender's standard operating procedures.
Letter of Credit Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a clean, irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) established in Landlord’s (and its successors’ and assigns’) favor in the Letter of Credit Amount, issued by a federally insured banking or lending institution (i.e., insured by the FDIC) with a retail banking branch located within the continental United States reasonably acceptable to Landlord and in other form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The Letter of Credit shall specifically provide for partial draws, shall be self-renewing annually as an “Evergreen” letter of credit, without amendment, for additional one-year periods, shall have a term that is self-renewing until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term of the Lease and shall by its terms be transferable by the beneficiary thereunder for a transfer fee not to exceed $250.00 payable by Tenant. If Tenant fails to make any payment of rent or other charges due to Landlord under the terms of the Lease, or otherwise defaults hereunder, beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make a demand for payment under the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the amounts then due and owing to Landlord under the Lease. In the event that Landlord draws upon the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall present to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit in the full Letter of Credit Amount satisfying all of the terms and conditions of this Section within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Landlord of such draw. Tenant’s failure to do so within such 10-day period will constitute a default hereunder (Tenant hereby waiving any additional notice and grace or cure period), and upon such default Landlord shall be entitled to immediately exercise all rights and remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity. In the event that the Letter of Credit is terminated by the issuer thereof prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration date of this Lease, as set forth above, and Tenant has not presented to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which complies with the terms and conditions of the Lease on or before thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any such Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed in default hereunder and Landlord, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for hereunder, shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord and any such amount paid to Landlord by the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall be held in a segregated account by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Any interest earned on such amounts shall be the property of Landlord. Landlord’s election to draw under the Letter of Credit and to hold the proceeds of the drawing under the Letter of Credit in a segregated account shall not be deemed a cure of any default by Tenant hereunder and shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to present to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which complies with the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that any proceeds of a draw made under the Letter of Credit and thereafter held in a segregated account by Landlord may be used by Landlord to cure or satisfy any obligation of Tenant hereunder as if such proceeds were instead proceeds of a draw made under a Letter of Credit that remained outstanding and in full force and effect at the time such amounts are applied by Landlord to cure or satisfy any such obligation of Tenant. Tenant hereby affirmatively disclaims any interest Tenant has, may have, claims to have, or may claim to have in any proceeds drawn by Landlord under the Letter of Credit and held in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that at the end of the Term of the Lease (whether by expiration or earlier termination hereof), and if Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, Landlord shall return to the issuer of the Letter of Credit or its successor (or as such issuer may direct in writing) any remaining and unapplied proceeds of any prior draws made under the Letter of Credit, and Tenant shall have no rights, residual or otherwise, in or to such proceeds. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord will have the right to require Tenant to have a new Letter of Credit issued in accordance with the above requirements from a different Issuer if either the original Issuer is placed on an FDIC “watch list”, if the FDIC or similar state or federal banking regulatory agency is appointed as receiver or conservator for such Issuer or if Landlord analyzes such Issuer’s capitalization, asset quality, earnings, and/or liquidity and in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, disapproves of such Issuer’s financial wherewithal and ability to remain as the issuer of the Letter of Credit. Such new Letter of Credit must comply with the foregoing requirements and must be issued within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s demand therefor. Provided Tenant is not then in default (regardless of any notice and cure periods) and has not been in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods during the prior twelve (12) months, the Letter of Credit Amount shall reduce during the Term of this Lease on the first date of the respective Lease Year as set forth below: Date of Reduction Amount of Reduction of Letter of Credit Remaining Letter of Credit Amount after Reduction First day of the 2nd Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 52,593.76 First day of the 3rd Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 39,445.32 First day of the 4th Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 26,296.88 First day of the 5th Lease Year of the Term $ 13,148.44 $ 13,148.44 Should Tenant be in default (regardless of any notice and cure periods) as of the specified reduction date, or if Tenant otherwise has been in default as specified above beyond any applicable notice and/or cure periods, no reduction shall occur as of such applicable date. The Letter of Credit shall specifically provide that the Letter of Credit is subject to reduction in accordance with the terms of the Lease. If Tenant is then or has been in default and the Letter of Credit balance is not or was not reduced, then at the first date of the next scheduled reduction Lease Year, the Letter of Credit Amount will only be reduced by the next scheduled reduction amount and will not skip to the otherwise applicable Lease Year.
Transfer of Letter of Credit The Letter of Credit may be transferred and assigned in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit.

The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to "issue" and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding under this Agreement on and after the Second Amendment Effective Date.

Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining and maintaining the L/C. In the event of an assignment by Tenant of its interest in the Lease (and irrespective of whether Landlord’s consent is required for such assignment), the acceptance of any replacement or substitute letter of credit by Landlord from the assignee shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and the out-of-pocket attorney’s fees for outside counsel incurred by Landlord in connection with such determination shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days of billing.
Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), by making payment in Dollars (in the case of all Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit), Euros (in the case of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit) or Sterling (in the case of Sterling Denominated Letters of Credit) not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M.
