However, Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord is currently renovating or may during the Lease Term renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the "Renovations") the Project, the Building and/or the Premises including without limitation the parking structure, common areas, systems and equipment, roof, and structural portions of the same, which Renovations may include, without limitation, (i) installing sprinklers in the Building common areas and tenant spaces, (ii) modifying the common areas and tenant spaces to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including regulations relating to the physically disabled, seismic conditions, and building safety and security, and (iii) installing new floor covering, lighting, and wall coverings in the Building common areas, and in connection with any Renovations, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the common areas, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building.

Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant's personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord's actions.
Building Services 7.01 Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the following services: (a) hot and cold water for use in the Base Building lavatories and drinking purposes; (b) customary heat and air conditioning in season during Building Service Hours (, although (i) Tenant shall have the right to receive HVAC service during hours other than Building Service Hours by paying Landlord’s then standard charge for additional HVAC service and providing such prior notice as is reasonably specified by Landlord (Landlord’s current charge for afterhours HVAC is $60 per hour, subject to change by Landlord from time to time), and (ii) if Tenant is permitted to connect any supplemental HVAC units to the Building’s condenser water loop or chilled water line, such permission shall be conditioned upon Landlord having adequate excess capacity from time to time and such connection and use shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval and reasonable restrictions imposed by Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right to charge Tenant a connection fee and/or a monthly usage fee, as reasonably determined by Landlord; (c) standard janitorial service on Business Days; (d) unattended elevator service; (e) electricity in accordance with the terms and conditions in Section 7.02; (f) access to the Building for Tenant and its employees 24 hours per day/7 days per week, subject to the terms of this Lease and such protective services or monitoring systems, if any, as Landlord may reasonably impose, including, without limitation, sign-in procedures and/or presentation of identification cards; and (g) subject to Section 26.10, such other services as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate for the Property. If Landlord, at Tenant’s request, provides any services which are not Landlord’s express obligation under this Lease, including, without limitation, any repairs which are Tenant’s responsibility pursuant to Section 9 below, Tenant shall pay Landlord, or such other party designated by Landlord, the cost of providing such service plus an administrative charge of ten percent (10%), the same to constitute Additional Rent hereunder. 7.02 Electricity used by Tenant in the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be paid for by Tenant by a separate, flat-rate charge (except the same may be increased as hereinafter provided in this Section 7.02) payable by Tenant to Landlord monthly with Rent, initially estimated (at the rate of $1.50 per rentable square foot of the Premises) to be in the amount of $1,633.25 per month ($19,599.00 per annum), payable as Additional Rent hereunder. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to reasonably increase such monthly flat-rate amount payable by Tenant hereunder based on actual increases in the cost of electricity (and/or the generation thereof) to Landlord in connection with the Property with no xxxx up by Landlord. Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not exceed the Building standard usage of six (6) xxxxx per square foot, as reasonably determined by Landlord, based upon the Building standard electrical design load. Landlord shall have the right to measure electrical usage by commonly accepted methods, including the installation of measuring devices such as submeters and check meters. If it is determined that Tenant is using electricity in such quantities or during such periods as to cause the total cost of Tenant’s electrical usage, on a monthly, per-rentable-square-foot basis, to materially exceed that which Landlord reasonably deems to be standard for the Building, Tenant shall pay Landlord Additional Rent for the cost of such excess electrical usage and, if applicable, for the cost of purchasing and installing the measuring device(s). 7.03 Landlord’s failure to furnish, or any interruption, diminishment or termination of services due to the application of Laws, the failure of any equipment, the performance of maintenance, repairs, improvements or alterations, utility interruptions or the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure (defined in Section 26.03) (collectively a “Service Failure”) shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant, constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, give rise to an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the Premises is rendered Untenantable (as defined below) solely as a result of the failure of any Essential Service (as defined below) due to Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct and Tenant does not use or occupy the same during said period, then Tenant’s obligation pay Base Rent and Additional Rent hereunder shall be abated in proportion to the portion of the Premises rendered Untenantable until the date on which such Untenantability is cured, provided that such abatement shall not commence until the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date on which Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord of the interruption and an opportunity, within such five (5) Business Day period, to cure same. The rate at which Base Rent or Additional Rent may be abated under this Section 7.03 in any one calendar month shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Rent payable for such calendar month, provided that any amount not permitted to be taken as an abatement as a result of such monthly cap shall be credited against the Base Rent or Additional Rent next thereafter due under this Lease, subject to such monthly cap. In the event that the foregoing monthly cap would have the effect of depriving Tenant of any portion of abatement to which it is otherwise entitled hereunder due to the number of calendar months remaining in the term, the monthly cap may be increased proportionately to the extent necessary to avoid such result.
Access to Premises Section 14.1 Tenant shall permit Landlord, Landlord’s agents and public utilities servicing the Building to erect, use and maintain concealed ducts, pipes and conduits in and through the Premises, provided that Landlord will not thereby reduce the rentable area of the Premises, other than to a de minimis extent. Landlord or Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice (except no such prior notice shall be required in case of emergency), which notice may be oral, to examine the same, to show them to prospective purchasers, Mortgagees, Lessors or lessees of the Building and their respective agents and representatives or prospective tenants of the Premises, and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions (a) as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable to the Premises or to any other portion of the Building, or (b) which Landlord may elect to perform following Tenant’s failure to make repairs or perform any work which Tenant is obligated to make or perform under this Lease, or (c) for the purpose of complying with Legal Requirements, and Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the Premises that may be required therefor without the same constituting an eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant in whole or in part and Fixed Rent and Additional Rent will not be abated while said repairs, alterations, improvements or additions are being made, by reason of loss or interruption of business of Tenant, or otherwise. Section 14.2 If Tenant shall not be present when for any reason entry into the Premises shall be necessary or permissible, Landlord or Landlord’s agents may enter the same without rendering Landlord or such agents liable therefor (if during such entry Landlord or Landlord’s agents shall accord reasonable care to Tenant’s property), and without in any manner affecting this Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever for the care, supervision or repair of the Building or any part thereof, other than as herein provided. Section 14.3 Landlord shall have the right from time to time to alter the Building and, without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, to change the arrangement or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other public parts of the Building and to change the name, number or designation by which the Building is commonly known; provided, however, that Landlord shall not make any permanent alterations which will deny or substantially interfere with Tenant’s access to the Premises from the public areas of the Building. All parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Premises) of all walls, windows and doors bounding the Premises (including exterior Building walls, exterior core corridor walls, exterior doors and entrances other than doors and entrances solely servicing the Premises), all balconies, terraces and roofs adjacent to the Premises, all space in or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stacks, stairways, chutes, pipes, conduits, ducts, fan rooms, heating, air cooling, plumbing and other mechanical facilities, service closets and other Building facilities are not part of the Premises, and Landlord shall have the use thereof, as well as access thereto through the Premises for the purposes of operation, maintenance, alteration and repair. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s access to and use and occupancy of the Premises in connection with any actions by Landlord permitted under this Section 14.3; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or additional expenses whatsoever.
Construction Phase Services 3.1.1 – Basic Construction Services
TENANT’S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Tenant at its sole expense shall comply with all applicable laws and governmental regulations governing the Premises and make all repairs necessary to keep the Premises in the condition as existed on the Commencement Date (or on any later date that the improvements may have been installed), excepting ordinary wear and tear, including without limitation the electrical and mechanical systems, any air conditioning, ventilating or heating equipment which serves the Premises, all walls, glass, windows, doors, door closures, hardware, fixtures, electrical, plumbing, fire extinguisher equipment and other equipment. Any damage or deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and tear if the same could have been prevented by good maintenance practices by Tenant. As part of its maintenance obligations hereunder, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, provide Landlord with copies of all maintenance schedules, reports and notices prepared by, for or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall obtain preventive maintenance contracts from a licensed heating and air conditioning contractor to provide for regular inspection and maintenance of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems servicing the Premises, all subject to Landlord’s approval. All repairs shall be at least equal in quality to the original work, shall be made only by a licensed contractor approved in writing in advance by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and shall be made only at the time or times approved by Landlord. Any contractor utilized by Tenant shall be subject to Landlord’s standard requirements for contractors, as modified from time to time. Landlord shall have the right at all times (upon at least 24 hours’ prior notice) to inspect Tenant’s maintenance of all equipment (including without limitation air conditioning, ventilating and heating equipment), and may impose reasonable restrictions and requirements with respect to repairs, as provided in Section 7.3, and the provisions of Section 7.4 shall apply to all repairs. Alternatively, Landlord may elect to make any repair or maintenance required hereunder on behalf of Tenant and at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred upon submission of an invoice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.1, in the event Tenant’s obligation for compliance with all applicable laws and governmental regulations, or making repairs, results in a capital improvement on Tenant’s part (or Tenant’s being obligated to reimburse Landlord for a capital improvement), Tenant shall only be responsible for the amortized cost of such capital improvement (amortized at a market cost of funds as reasonably determined by Landlord) over the useful life of such improvements during the Term (except in the event obligation for any such capital improvement is required due to Tenant’s particular use of the Premises, in which case Tenant shall be fully responsible for the entire cost and installation of such capital improvement).
Improvements to Premises Lessee shall take the Premises in its "as-is" condition for the Extended Term except for certain Leasehold Improvements (herein so called) to the Premises which shall be completed in accordance with the specifications attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Approved Plans"), which have been approved by both Lessor and Lessee. Lessor shall cause the Leasehold Improvements to be installed or constructed in accordance with the Approved Plans by Lessor's contractor. So long as no Event of Default (or event which with notice or lapse of time could become an Event of Default) has occurred under the Lease, Lessor agrees to provide Lessee an allowance equal to One Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand One Hundred Nineteen and No/100 Dollars ($153,119.00) (the "Improvement Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for completion of the Leasehold Improvements in accordance with the Approved Plans, and an additional allowance equal to Three Thousand Two Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,200.00) (the "Architectural Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for space planning and design services for the Premises. In the event that any alterations or modifications to the Premises are required in order to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the State of Texas equivalent laws and regulations, the cost of any such alterations or modifications shall be satisfied out of the Improvement Allowance. The cost of the Leasehold Improvements and the space planning and design fees is to be paid by Lessor out of the Improvement Allowance and the Architectural Allowance, respectively. Any completed work (labor or materials) outside the scope of the Approved Plans or the cost of which is in excess of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance, as the case may be, shall be at Lessee's sole cost and will be billed to Lessee by Lessor and will be due and payable within ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of an invoice therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will not be liable for work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs over the amount of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance unless Lessee has consented in writing to such work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs prior to the commencement of such work or the incurring of such excess costs. Any portion of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance remaining upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements shall be deemed forfeited by Lessee. Lessor further acknowledges and agrees that Section 4.07 of the Lease is hereby amended to provide that Lessee shall not be required to surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor "in the same condition as when received", but rather shall be entitled to surrender possession of the Premises in the same condition as exists upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements described in Paragraph 3 above, subject to any and all other requirements set forth in Section 4.07 of the Lease.
