Common Areas Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the Rules and Regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas.” The term “Project Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project designated as such by Landlord or areas within the Project that the occupants of the Building are permitted to utilize pursuant to a recorded declaration and which areas shall be maintained in accordance with the declaration. The term “Building Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to the Rules and Regulations as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas, provided that, in connection therewith, Landlord shall perform such closures, alterations, additions or changes in a commercially reasonable manner and, in connection therewith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any material interference with Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises.
Building Systems The term “Building Systems” shall mean collectively the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sanitary, sprinkler, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, security, life safety, elevator and other service systems or facilities of the Building and the finished ceiling and Building standard lighting fixtures in the Leased Premises, that are excluding any Premises Fixtures.
Building and Improvements Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor and to any Lender(s), insuring against loss or damage to the Premises. Such insurance shall be for full replacement cost, as the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by any Lender(s), but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and available insurable value thereof if, by reason of the unique nature or age of the improvements involved, such latter amount is less than full replacement cost. Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Lessee's personal property shall be insured by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 8.
Tenant’s Repairs Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly make all repairs and replacements of every kind and nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, which may be required to be made upon or in connection with the Premises. Landlord shall not be required to make any repair, whether foreseen or unforeseen, or to maintain any of the Premises in any way. Any repair or replacement shall be performed at the Tenant's expense by contractors approved by Landlord, or at Landlord's option, by Landlord. Such repair and replacements include capital expenditures and repairs whose benefit extend beyond the Lease Term. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and other mechanical and building systems serving the Premises shall be maintained at Tenant's expense pursuant to maintenance service contracts entered into by Tenant. The scope of services and contractors under such maintenance contracts shall be reasonably approved by Landlord. If Tenant fails to perform any repair or replacement for which it is responsible, Landlord may perform such work and be reimbursed by Tenant within ten (10) days after demand therefor. Subject to the Restoration and Condemnation Paragraphs, Tenant shall bear the full cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Premises that results from damage caused by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees and any repair that benefits only the Premises. If any present or future improvements to the Premises are made or authorized to be made by Tenant, its agents or employees, and such improvements shall encroach upon any property or street adjacent to the Premises, or shall violate any agreement or condition contained in any restrictive covenant affecting or applicable to the Premises, or shall impair the rights of others under any easement or right-of-way to which the Premises are subject, then upon request of Landlord, Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall take such action as shall be necessary to remove such encroachments or end such violation or impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to remove any such encroachments if Tenant has or obtains such easements, licenses or similar rights as may be necessary to permit such encroachments to remain.
Landlord Repairs The services described in Section 4.01 (“Building Services”) and any repairs and maintenance required of Landlord may be curtailed or interrupted as required by any Applicable Laws or because of the maintenance, repair, replacement, or improvement of the equipment involved in furnishing such services or because of changes of the suppliers of services or because of labor controversies, accidents, acts of God, or the elements or any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. Landlord agrees to attempt in good faith to resume any curtailed or interrupted Building Services that Landlord is obligated hereunder to provide after receipt of notice from Tenant advising Landlord of the affected services. Landlord shall not be required to make any improvements, replacements, or repairs of any kind or character to the Leased Premises during the Term of this Lease except as are set forth in this section. Landlord shall maintain only the electrical service to the Leased Premises, down spouts, fire sprinkler system, lawn and landscaping, paint on the exterior of the Leased Premises, exterior doors, roof, foundation, parking, sidewalk and drive areas, and the structural soundness of the exterior walls (excluding windows, window glass, plate glass, and doors), except for damages caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, guests, and invitees, which damage shall be repaired at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and which will constitute Additional Rent due hereunder upon demand by Landlord therefor. Landlord’s costs of maintaining the items set forth in this section (save and except for Landlord’s cost of maintaining the structural soundness, the roof, foundation, the exterior walls (excluding windows, window glass, and plate glass) which costs shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility) shall constitute a portion of Operating Expenses as defined in Section 2.03 and shall be subject to the Additional Rent provisions in Section 2.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere herein, Landlord agrees to utilize reasonable efforts to effectuate and promptly complete any maintenance or repairs required to be performed by Landlord hereunder in a manner calculated to cause as little interruption and interference with Tenant’s conduct of business and operations in the Leased Premises as is reasonably practicable. In addition, if Landlord fails to perform any of its repair and maintenance obligations hereunder and such default is not cured by Landlord in accordance within thirty (30) days of written notice of such failure, then Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such repair and maintenance obligations as are reasonably necessary to either (a) prevent any damage to Tenant’s inventory or other personal property and/or (b) obviate any material and adverse effects to Tenant’s business operations resulting therefrom. Any and all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by Tenant in performing any of Landlord’s maintenance obligations in accordance with the terms, conditions, and requirements of the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid by Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of an itemized statement describing the repairs and/or maintenance performed.
Common Area Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and such rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time reasonably prescribe, Tenant and Tenant’s employees, invitees and customers shall, in common with other occupants of the Parcel, and their respective employees, invitees and customers, and others entitled to the use thereof, have the non-exclusive right to use the access roads, parking areas and facilities provided and designated by Landlord for the general use and convenience of the occupants of the Parcel, which areas and facilities are referred to herein as “Common Area.” This right shall terminate upon the termination of this Lease. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make changes in the shape, size, location, amount and extent of the Common Area; provided that no such changes shall prevent or materially diminish or adversely affect Tenant’s ability to have access to and use of the Premises or Tenant’s allocation of parking spaces. Landlord further reserves the right to promulgate such rules and regulations relating to the use of the Common Area, and any part or parts thereof, as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate for the best interest of the occupants of the Building. The rules and regulations shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant, and Tenant shall abide by them and cooperate in their observance. Such rules and regulations may be reasonably amended by Landlord from time to time, with advance notice, and all amendments shall be effective upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant. Tenant shall have the exclusive use of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the parking spaces in the Common Area on a “first-come, first served” basis at no cost to Tenant during the Term or any extension or renewal of the Term. Tenant shall not at any time park or permit the parking of Tenant’s trucks or other vehicles, or the trucks or other vehicles of others, adjacent to loading areas so as to interfere in any way with the use of such areas, nor shall Tenant at any time park or permit the parking of Tenant’s vehicles or trucks, or the vehicles or trucks of Tenant’s suppliers or others, in any portion of the Common Area not designated by Landlord for such use by Tenant. Tenant shall not abandon any inoperative vehicles or equipment on any portion of the Common Area. Tenant shall make no alterations, improvements or additions to the Common Area without prior written approval of Landlord. Landlord shall at all times operate, manage, insure, maintain and repair the Common Area in good order, condition and repair. The manner in which the Common Area shall be maintained and the expenditures for such maintenance shall be at the unfettered discretion of Landlord. Except as excluded herein or in Addendum One, the cost of such repair, maintenance, operation, insurance and management, including without limitation, maintenance and repair of landscaping, irrigation systems, paving, sidewalks, fences, and lighting, shall be a Common Area Charge and Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such costs as provided in Paragraph 12 below.
Building Renovations It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant and has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, Building, or any part thereof and that no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant except as specifically set forth herein or in the Work Letter Agreement. 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. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. 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.
Parking Facilities Alamo Colleges District shall make the existing parking facilities at the rented Facility available for the vehicular traffic and parking necessitated by the Organization’s Use of the rented Facility, on a non-exclusive basis, as specified at Exhibit A. MAXIMUM CAPACITY. Organization anticipates approximately the number of participants stated at Exhibit A and agrees to inform Alamo Colleges District of any significant changes five (5) business days in advance of a Use. Organization shall not admit a larger number of persons than can safely and freely move about the Facility. Alamo Colleges District shall notify Organization of the recommended capacity of the Facility and all decisions of Alamo Colleges District concerning questions arising under this Paragraph shall be final.

Landlord’s Repairs Landlord, as an Operating Expense, shall maintain all of the structural, exterior, parking and other Common Areas of the Project, including HVAC, plumbing, fire sprinklers, elevators and all other building systems serving the Premises and other portions of the Project (“Building Systems”), in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages caused by Tenant, or by any of Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) excluded. Losses and damages caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party shall be repaired by Landlord, to the extent not covered by insurance, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord reserves the right to stop Building Systems services when necessary (i) by reason of accident or emergency, or (ii) for planned repairs, alterations or improvements, which are, in the judgment of Landlord, desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply Building Systems services during any such period of interruption; provided, however, that Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, make a commercially reasonable effort to give Tenant 24 hours advance notice of any planned stoppage of Building Systems services for routine maintenance, repairs, alterations or improvements. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Section, after which Landlord shall make a commercially reasonable effort to effect such repair. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after Tenant’s written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance. Tenant waives its rights under any state or local law to terminate this Lease or to make such repairs at Landlord’s expense and agrees that the parties’ respective rights with respect to such matters shall be solely as set forth herein. Repairs required as the result of fire, earthquake, flood, vandalism, war, or similar cause of damage or destruction shall be controlled by Section 18.
