In the event that any such holdover exists, all of the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during such holdover period, except that Tenant shall pay Landlord from time to time upon demand, as rent for the first three (3) months of any holdover an amount equal to the then-current Monthly Base Rent and Operating Expenses in effect on the termination date, and thereafter, an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Base Rent and Operating Expenses in effect on the termination date, computed on a daily basis for each day of the holdover period.
