From time to time during the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right, on at least ten (10) business days prior notice to Landlord, and subject to reasonable advance scheduling and prior booked events, to reserve the Atrium for Tenant’s exclusive use for a reasonable period of time as reasonably necessary to prepare for, host, and clean-up from special events, on no more than twenty-five (25) occasions in any calendar year.

Any costs reasonably incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s exclusive use of the Atrium shall be paid by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; Landlord agrees to use good faith efforts to provide Tenant with a written estimate of any such costs prior to the date of any of the events in question, for Tenant’s review, and agrees to confirm with Tenant at Tenant’s request in the event Tenant in good faith believes any such anticipated costs are unreasonable. Tenant acknowledges that any such estimate is an estimate only, and that the final costs may reasonably vary from those set forth in the estimate. In the event that the insurance carried by Tenant in accordance with the terms of Section 10.3.1 of the Office Lease would not cover a particular event, activity or other use of the Atrium by Tenant, Tenant shall procure additional reasonable liability insurance as reasonably required by Landlord to cover such event, activity or use.
