CARE OF PREMISES Lessee shall, throughout the Lease Term, take good care ---------------- of the Leased Premises and all fixtures, appurtenances, doors and windows, locks, walls, ceilings, flooring and mechanical equipment located therein, excepting that which may be covered by applicable warranty, and, at its sole cost and expense, make all non-structural repairs thereto and perform maintenance thereon as and when needed to preserve them in good working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear from use and damage from the elements, fire or other casualty excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all damage or injury to the Leased Premises or to any other part of the Building, or to its fixtures, equipment and appurtenances, whether requiring structural or non-structural repairs, caused by or resulting from carelessness, omission, neglect or conduct of Lessee, its servants, employees, invitees or licensees, shall be repaired by the Lessee at its sole expense to the satisfaction of Lessor reasonably exercised. Lessee shall replace or repair, as needed, all lamps, bulbs, ballasts and other lighting fixtures and apparatus. Lessee shall also repair all damage to the Building and the Leased Premises caused by the moving of Lessee's fixtures, furniture or equipment. All the aforesaid repairs shall be of quality or class equal to the original work or construction. If Lessee fails after ten (10) days' notice to proceed with due diligence to make repairs required to be made by it, the same may be made by Lessor at the expense of Lessee. Lessee shall give Lessor prompt notice of any defective condition in the Leased Premises, which Lessor is required to repair or replace. Lessor shall remedy the condition with due diligence but at the expense of Lessee if repairs are necessitated by damage or injury attributable to Lessee, Lessee's servants, agents, employees, invitees, or licensees as aforesaid. All repair work and/or modifications made to the Leased Premises must be made by licensed and bonded contractor(s) approved by Lessor. Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of all maintenance and repairs (except as may be covered under applicable warranty) to the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system(s) serving the Leased Premises. Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days of occupancy, contract with a licensed HVAC maintenance company to maintain the system in proper working order. The Lessee agrees to supply a copy of the maintenance agreement to the Lessor and shall at all times during the term of the Lease keep in full force a HVAC maintenance agreement. If Lessee fails to enter into a maintenance agreement as herein provided, Lessor, at Lessor's option, may elect to enter into a reasonable service contract for the periodic professional inspection and maintenance of all the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment serving the Building and Lessee shall pay its allocated share of the cost of the service contract. Lessor agrees that during the Lease Term it will keep the exterior and structural parts of the Building in good condition and repair, and that it will make such repairs promptly as they become necessary. Exterior repairs shall be deemed to include exterior walls, foundations, pavement, roof, gutters, downspouts, and plumbing, which is a part of the structure or foundation. Lessor shall make such interior replacements as are necessitated by building equipment failure and repairs and replacements necessitated by fire or perils covered by extended coverage clauses (whether or not caused by the active or passive negligence of the Lessee) for which damage or loss insurance is carried by the Lessor and for which insurance proceeds are recovered, including interior reconstruction and/or redecorating necessitated by such fire or other perils. Lessor represents that, to the best of its knowledge, there is neither currently nor has there been any release or discharge of any hazardous substances in or around the Leased Premises or the Building/Center. Lessee will keep the interior of the Leased Premises clean and will not improperly or unlawfully release, store, handle, or dispose of any refuse, trash or hazardous materials or contaminants in the Leased Premises or in or around the Building of which the Leased Premises form a part. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor and appropriate governmental agencies and authorities having jurisdiction if a release of such materials occurs, and shall take complete corrective action to clean and remove the material and restore the Leased Premises in compliance with procedures established by such authorities, and shall provide appropriate evidence of compliance. Lessee agrees to hold Lessor harmless of and from any losses, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities, public or private, arising directly or indirectly as a result of such release or contamination and such indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease. Such indemnified liabilities shall include the costs of environmental consultants and engineers, cleanup and reporting expenses, and attorneys fees and costs.
Sale of Premises by Landlord In the event of any sale of the Building, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after the consummation of such sale; and the purchaser, at such sale or any subsequent sale of the Premises shall be deemed, without any further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest or between the parties and any such purchaser, to have assumed and agreed to carry out any and all of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord under this Lease.
Repairs by Tenant Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly perform all maintenance, repairs, refurbishing and replacement work to the Leased Premises that are not Landlord’s express responsibility under this Lease, and shall keep the Leased Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant’s repair obligations include repairs to: (a) floor covering, (b) interior partitions, (c) doors, (d) the interior side of demising walls, (e) electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant and located in the Leased Premises or other portions of the Building, (f) supplemental air conditioning units, private showers and kitchens, including hot water heaters, plumbing and similar facilities serving Tenant exclusively, and (g) alterations performed by contractors retained by Tenant, including related HVAC balancing. All Tenant’s work shall be performed in accordance with the rules and procedures described in Section 5.2 hereof. Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant will surrender and deliver the Leased Premises to Landlord in the same condition in which the Leased Premises existed on the Commencement Date, subject, however, to (i) the provisions of Article VI hereof, (ii) the alterations permitted pursuant to this Lease, (iii) the provisions of Section 5.3, and (iv) except for ordinary wear and tear. If Tenant should fail or refuse to make such repairs, refurbishings or replacements or perform said maintenance as and when reasonably required, Landlord may, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, cure such failure or refusal and Landlord’s costs shall be reimburseable by Tenant as additional rent, by Tenant, immediately upon invoicing by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to perform, as Above Standard Services, Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations with respect to the Leased Premises. Tenant shall notify Landlord of the need for any such repair and maintenance and Landlord shall endeavor to respond timely to each such request.
Alterations by Tenant Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises without the written consent of Landlord. The kinds of alterations, additions or improvements referred to are those, which are of a more or less permanent nature, such as new floors, partitions, wallpaper and paneling. If consent of Landlord is given, then any or all such alterations, additions or improvements, may, if Landlord wishes, become the property of Landlord at the end of the term of the Lease. However, if Landlord wishes, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any or all of such alterations, additions or improvements at the end of the term of the Lease and restore the Premises to the condition it was in when the term of this Lease began fair wear and tear excepted. If initialed by Landlord here , Tenant has Landlord’s express written permission to paint the walls of the interior of the premises. However, Tenant shall be required to return the walls to their original condition by painting the walls to the same color as at the start of the Lease by the last day of the Lease Term. If Tenant does not repaint the walls to the same color as at the start of the Lease upon vacating the premises, Tenant shall be liable for Landlord’s expenses reasonably incurred for repainting the walls the same color as at the start of the Lease, which includes at Landlord’s option, hiring painters to paint the walls, along with the cost of any paint and paint supplies reasonable and necessary. If Landlord and Tenant initial here: (Landlord) (Tenant), then Landlord and Tenant intend and agree there is an Addendum (“Addendum”) attached and incorporated into this Lease outlining customization options or restrictions in greater detail, and both Landlord and Tenant agree to be bound to the terms and conditions contained in the Addendum as additional Terms of this Lease Agreement.
Lease of Premises Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant for the Term of this Lease and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and Tenant hereby accepts from Landlord, the Premises.
Restoration of Premises Lessee shall conduct all operations on the Leased Premises in such a manner as not to unreasonably damage the portion of the Leased Premises where there will be no mining operations. Lessee shall conduct all operations in such a manner as to observe and comply with all Laws applicable to the Leased Premises and all Laws applicable to the conduct of Lessee’s operations. Lessee expressly agrees to dispose of all tailings and other mining wastes in accordance with all applicable Laws and shall reclaim all of disturbed perimeter portions of any lakes created by mining such that those perimeter portions shall be left at a slope no steeper than four feet horizontal to one foot vertical within three (3) months of termination of the Lease Agreement. By the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease Agreement, Lessee shall grade that portion of the Leased Premises which has been excavated by Lessee or on which Lessee has conducted operations so as to eliminate all unreasonable irregularities therein and so that such portion of the Leased Premises which has been excavated by Lessee conforms to the drawing set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto. Upon completion of the required grading, Lessee shall cover such area with sand, clay, or topsoil, or a mixture of any of the foregoing, from the resources then existing on the Leased Premises, and shall thereafter reseed the surface with a seed mixture approved by Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lessee be required to import any Materials, including but not limited to, sand, clay, or topsoil from off-site for purposes of complying with its restoration obligations in this Section 15. Should this obligation not be met by the end of the term of this Lease Agreement, it shall nevertheless survive and continue beyond the term of this Lease Agreement and shall be an obligation owed by Lessee to Lessor. This obligation is owed by Lessee in addition to any other obligation imposed upon Lessee by this Lease Agreement.
Expansion of Premises (a) Effective as of the Expansion Date the Premises (and the definition of the “Premises”) shall be modified to mean and include both the Initial Premises and the Expansion Premises. As a result of such expansion, effective upon the Expansion Date, the deemed square footage of the Premises shall be and become 31,684 square feet and Tenant’s Prorata Share and Tenant’s Share of Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall be one hundred percent (100.00%).
(b) If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant on before August 1, 2012 for the purpose specified in Section 3(c), this Amendment shall not be void or voidable, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay monthly Base Rent or Additional Charges with respect to the Expansion Premises until the day following the date on which possession of the Expansion Premises is delivered to Tenant (such date thereupon becoming the “Expansion Date” for purposes of this Amendment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is unable to deliver the Expansion Premises by August 1, 2012 (as extended day-for-day for each day of Force Majeure Delay) (the “Expansion Premises Outside Delivery Date”), then Tenant shall have the right, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Amendment to Lease by providing written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days following the Expansion Premises Outside Delivery Date, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if the parties had not entered into this Amendment and Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant the August, 2012 Base Rent for the Expansion Premises paid by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(d). For purposes hereof, the failure of the existing tenant of the Expansion Premises to vacate the Expansion Premises shall not be an event of Force Majeure Delay.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be entitled to early occupancy of the Expansion Premises at any time after the Expansion Premises Delivery Date for the sole purposes of (1) installing Tenant’s furniture and telephone and other communications cabling and (2) performing Tenant’s Expansion Work (defined below), provided that (i) Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors will cooperate with Landlord to coordinate the performance and completion of the Landlord’s Expansion Work concurrently with Tenant’s Expansion Work, (ii) Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for delays in completing the Landlord’s Expansion Work which result from, are caused by or arise out of the interference by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors in the performance of the Landlord’s Expansion Work, (iii) Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents and contractors shall promptly comply with any and all requests made by Landlord or Landlord’s contractor(s) that Tenant remove its property from those areas in or around which Landlord is performing the Landlord’s Expansion Work, and (iv) Landlord shall not be liable for, Tenant hereby waives all claims which Tenant may have against the Landlord Parties, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and defend Landlord against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person or property in or about the Expansion Premises resulting from or arising out of or in connection with the performance of Tenant’s Expansion Work (except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord). Tenant’s early occupancy of the Expansion Premises for the sole purpose provided in this Section shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, provided that (x) the Premises shall not include the Expansion Premises until the Expansion Date, and (y) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay monthly Base Rent or Additional Charges with respect to the Expansion Premises for the period from the Expansion Premises Delivery Date until the Expansion Date.
(d) Within five (5) business days after the Expansion Date, the parties shall execute a letter confirming the Expansion Date and certifying that Tenant has accepted delivery of the Premises, in form substantially similar to EXHIBIT “D” attached to the Lease (the “Expansion Date Memorandum”). Either party’s failure to request execution of, or to execute, the Expansion Date Memorandum shall not in any way alter the Expansion Date.
Repair of Damage to Premises by Landlord Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any damage to the Premises resulting from fire or any other casualty. If the Premises or any Common Areas serving or providing access to the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control, and subject to all other terms of this Article 1 1, restore the Base Building and such Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition of the Base Building and the Common Areas prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other laws or by the holder of a mortgage on the Building or Project or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord, which are consistent with the character of the Project, provided that access to the Premises and any common restrooms serving the Premises shall not be materially impaired. Landlord shall repair any injury or damage to the improvements which exist in the Premises as of the Lease Commencement Date (the "Original Improvements") and shall return such Original Improvements to their original condition. Prior to the commencement of construction, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, for Landlord's review and approval, all plans, specifications and working drawings relating thereto, and Landlord shall select the contractors to perform such improvement work. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof; provided however, that if such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenant's occupancy, and the Premises are not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, then during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to the ratio that the amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which is unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises, provided that if the Premises are so damaged that it is not reasonably practicable for Tenant to continue its business operations from any portion of the Premises, then the Rent shall be fully abated during such time.
Maintenance by Tenant Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 13.2, 21 and 22 below, throughout the Term, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, (1) keep and maintain in good order and condition the Building and the Premises and repair the Building and the Premises and every part thereof, including interior and exterior glass, windows, window frames and casements, interior and exterior doors and door frames and door closers; interior and exterior lighting (including, without limitation, light bulbs and ballasts), the roof covering; the Systems serving the Premises and the Building; interior and exterior signage, interior demising walls and partitions, equipment, interior painting and interior walls and floors, and the roll-up doors, ramps and dock equipment, including, without limitation, dock bumpers, dock plates, dock seals, dock levelers and dock lights located in or on the Premises (excepting only those portions of the Building or the Project to be maintained by Landlord, as provided in Paragraph 13.2 below), (2) furnish all expendables, including light bulbs, paper goods and soaps, used in the Premises, and (3) keep and maintain in good order and condition and repair and replace all of Tenant’s security systems in or about or serving the Premises.

Tenant shall perform its obligations under this Paragraph 13.1 in accordance with maintenance and repair standards adopted by Landlord from time to time for the Project. Tenant shall cause to be furnished to Landlord on not less than a quarterly basis maintenance reports on all Systems and the roof of the Building prepared by a qualified vendor or consultant, and Tenant shall promptly perform any maintenance tasks recommended by such reports or otherwise required by Landlord to cause the Premises and the Systems to comply with Landlord’s maintenance and repair standards.
Repairs by Landlord Landlord shall keep the roof, exterior walls, exterior building windows, public corridors, equipment used in common with other tenants (such as elevators, plumbing, heating, air-conditioning and similar equipment) and the structural components of the Building in a good state of repair, and shall accomplish such repairs as may be needed within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant (except in emergencies or cases of urgent necessity (when such repairs shall be commenced immediately) and such longer time as is reasonably required to adequately remedy the problem provided the remedy has begun and Landlord is diligently prosecuting the same to completion). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to repair any latent defects (i) capable of detection in the ordinary course of Tenant's business and first detected more than one (1) year after the Commencement Date or (ii) that have no material adverse effect on Tenant's ability to conduct business in or gain access to the Premises. Nothing herein shall diminish Tenant's obligation to maintain and repair any special equipment installed in the Leased Premises or Building specifically for Tenant, including without limitation any telecommunication equipment, security equipment, computer equipment, kitchen equipment, any Tenant HVAC System or any Tenant Generator. If repairs are required by reason of Tenant's acts or negligent failure to act, Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord, as additional rent, for the cost thereof. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 15 or 18 below, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Leased Premises or building of which the Leased Premises are a part, or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any damage to the Leased Premises or for any loss, damage or injury to any property therein or thereon resulting from acts by other third parties or occasioned by fire; explosion; falling plaster; the breaking, bursting, stoppage or leaking of water, gas, sewer, electrical cables, wires or steam pipes; or from water, rain, or other substances leaking or coming from the roof, street, subsurface or from any other place or from dampness or from any similar risks or causes. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to any person or property sustained by Tenant or any other persons, which may be caused by theft, or by any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Project, or of any other third parties.
