New utilities (i) The Contractor shall allow, subject to the permission from the Authority and such conditions as the Authority may specify, access to, and use of the Site for laying telephone lines, water pipes, electricity lines/ cables or other public utilities. Where such access or use causes any financial loss to the Contractor, it may require the user of the Site to pay compensation or damages as per Applicable Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that use of the Site under this Clause 9.3 shall not in any manner relieve the Contractor of its obligation to construct and maintain the Project Highway in accordance with this Agreement and any damage caused by such use shall be restored forthwith at the cost of the Authority.

The cost to be paid by the Authority to the Contractor shall be determined by the Authority’s Engineer. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event such road is to be constructed for the benefit of any entity, the Authority may require such entity to make an advance deposit with the Contractor or the Authority, as the case may be, of an amount equal to the estimated cost as determined by the Authority’s Engineer and such advance shall be adjusted against the cost of construction as determined by the Authority’s Engineer hereunder.
(iv) In the event construction of any Works is affected by a new utility or works undertaken in accordance with this Clause 9.3, the Contractor shall be entitled to a reasonable Time Extension as determined by the Authority’s Engineer.

Electric current supplied to or used in the Premise shall be measured by a submeter.
(c) Any failure by the Landlord to furnish any of the foregoing services or utilities, resulting from circumstances beyond the Landlord’s reasonable control or from interruption of such services due to repairs or maintenance, shall not render the Landlord liable in any respect for damages to either person or property, nor be construed as an eviction of the Tenant, nor cause an abatement of rent hereunder, nor relieve the Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder, unless caused by Landlord or its agents, employees and/or contractors. If any public utility or governmental body shall require the Landlord or the Tenant to restrict the consumption of any utility or reduce any service for the Premises or the Building, the Landlord and the Tenant shall comply with such requirements, whether or not the services and utilities referred to in this section 8 are thereby reduced or otherwise affected, without any liability on the part of the Landlord to the Tenant or any other person or any reduction or adjustment in rent payable hereunder.

If Tenant desires to install any equipment which shall require additional utility facilities or utility facilities of a greater capacity than the facilities existing, such installation shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications therefor.

(f) In the event Tenant wishes, at any time, to utilize the services of a telecommunications provider who is not then authorized by the Landlord to provide telecommunications services to tenants in the Building, such provider shall be permitted to install its lines or other equipment within the Building after it secures the prior written approval of the Landlord. Landlord hereby authorizes Verizon, Worldcom, and Telephonet to provide telecommunication services to the Building. Tenant shall use its best efforts to get such vendors to execute license and access agreements reasonably acceptable to Landlord provided that such agreements do not materially alter the telecommunication service to Tenant or increase the costs to Tenant of such telecommunication services. Landlord’s approval shall not be deemed any kind of warranty or representation by Landlord, including, without limitation, any warranty or representation as to the suitability, competence, or financial strength of the provider. Without limitation of the foregoing standard, unless all of the following conditions are satisfied to Landlord’s satisfaction, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to refuse to give its approval: (i) Landlord shall incur no expense whatsoever with respect to any aspect of the provider’s provision of its services, including, without limitation, the costs of installation, materials and services; (ii) the provider shall agree to use the Building’s central communications distribution system (“CDS”) to deliver telecommunications services to Tenant (unless the CDS is not physically capable of delivering such services); (iii) prior to commencement of any work in or about the Building by the provider, the provider shall supply Landlord with such written indemnities, insurance, financial statements, and such other items as Landlord reasonably determines to be necessary to protect its financial interests and the interests of the Building relating to the proposed activities of the provider; (iv) the provider agrees in writing to abide by such rules and regulations, Building and other codes, job site rules and such other requirements as are reasonably determined by Landlord to be necessary to protect the interests of the Building, the tenants in the Building, and Landlord, in the same or similar manner as Landlord has the right to protect itself and the Building with respect to proposed alterations as described in this Lease; (v) Landlord reasonably determines that there is sufficient space in the Building for the placement of all of the provider’s equipment and materials; (vi) Landlord receives from the provider such compensation as is reasonably determined by Landlord to compensate it for the fair market value of a provider’s occupancy of the Building, and the costs which may reasonably be expected to be incurred by Landlord in conjunction with the provider’s occupancy of and activities within the Building; and (vii) all of the foregoing matters are documented in a written agreement between Landlord and the provider, the form and content of which is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Except as otherwise authorized in writing by Landlord, all communications services provided to Tenant shall be delivered via the Building’s CDS. Landlord may charge Tenant’s service providers fees for use of the CDS (“CDS Fees”), which includes monthly recurring fees (“Recurring CDS Fees”) for use of each circuit of the CDS used in the delivery of communications services to Tenant, and non-recurring fees (“Non-Recurring CDS Fees”) relating to activities such as moves, adds and changes of circuits which Landlord or Landlord’s agents are making. In the event that a service provider refuses for any reason to pay the CDS Fees directly to Landlord, or if Tenant is directly using the CDS to connect to a provider or otherwise, Tenant shall be responsible to pay Landlord Non-Recurring CDS Fees, but in no event shall Tenant be responsible to pay to Landlord Recurring CDS Fees, Landlord shall repair or replace the CDS as necessary to eliminate any interruption or other adverse effects to Tenant caused by malfunction, damage or destruction of the CDS, the cost of which shall be borne by Tenant if the problem was caused directly or indirectly by the act or omission of Tenant, its agents, representatives, employees or invitees. In no event shall Landlord or its agents be liable for any direct or indirect claims or damages of any kind arising out of any interruption or failure of communications or related services (including without limitation, local or long distance phone service, internet, cable TV, CDS, and data services) received by Tenant, it being understood that Tenant shall look solely to its communications services providers for recovery of any such claims or damages. To the extent that Landlord or its agents provides any communications services directly to Tenant, Tenant’s sole remedy in the event that such services provided by Landlord or its agents are interrupted or otherwise fail shall be an equitable abatement of the fees paid by Tenant to Landlord or its agents for such services, pro-rated from the date of the interruption or failure of service until the date upon which service is restored. Landlord shall have the right to designate a third party as its agent to manage and/or own the telecommunications infrastructure in the Building, whose responsibilities include without limitation management of circuit activity on the CDS (“Manager”). Manager or Landlord may provide to Tenant operating procedures for the CDS, including the phone number(s) for the, person or persons responsible for the operation and maintenance of the CDS, and Tenant agrees to comply with any such procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, in its sole discretion and upon notice to Tenant, also designate other entities as Manager of the CDS.
