(b) On or before the Surrender Date, time being of the essence with respect to such date, Tenant shall vacate the Surrendered Premises and deliver vacant possession thereof to Landlord in the condition required by the Lease, provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any cabling or wiring from the Surrendered Premises and Tenant, at its option, may leave in the Surrendered Premises any personal property and trade fixtures existing in the Surrendered Premises as of the date hereof which Tenant so elects (any such personal property and trade fixtures, collectively, the “Remaining Property”).
