                5. Failure to Surrender and Vacate. (a) If Tenant fails to vacate and deliver possession of the 225 Premises on or before the date set forth herein for such surrender and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement, without limiting any rights or remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under the Lease, at law or in equity with respect to such failure by Tenant, Tenant hereby agrees that it (a) will accept service of a notice of petition and petition in a summary  proceeding in the Civil Court of the City of New York; (b) consents to the jurisdiction of said Court; (c) shall not enter any appearance or interpose any defense or counterclaim in any such proceeding; (d) consents to the entry of a final judgment in said proceeding awarding Landlord immediate  possession of the 225–Premises; (e) consents to the immediate issuance of a warrant of eviction by the Clerk of the Civil Court; and (f) waives (i) any stay of execution of said warrant of eviction and (ii) all rights to appeal or collaterally attack the aforesaid final judgment or the issuance and execution of a warrant of eviction.

 

                (b) If Tenant does not surrender possession of and vacate the 225 Premises on the date set forth herein for such surrender and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement, then, in addition to and without limiting any other rights and/or remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under the Lease or this Agreement, at law or in equity, Landlord may, without notice to Tenant, (i) enter the 225 Premises, (ii) remove all of Tenant’s furniture, equipment, furnishings, removable fixtures and other personal property (other than the “PA Agreement Items”) in the 225 Premises (collectively, the “Personal Property”), (iii) store or dispose of such Personal Property in Landlord’s sole discretion without liability to Tenant, (iv) change the locks on the entry doors to the 225 Premises and all other doors within the 225 Premises and (v) prohibit the entry into the 225 Premises by Tenant and/or any officer, director, shareholder, principal, employee, invitee, licensee or other representative of Tenant.

                (c) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has entered into a lease with the New Tenant for occupancy of the 225 Premises commencing immediately after the Surrender Date and that, in entering into such lease, Landlord is relying upon Tenant’s agreement to vacate and surrender the 225 Premises on the dates and in accordance with the terms set forth herein.

All damages to Landlord by reason of such holding over by Tenant may be the subject of a separate action and need not be asserted by Landlord in any summary proceedings against Tenant.
