Maintenance and Repairs (1) Except for matters specified under Paragraph 4 above and Paragraph 8A(3) below as being Landlord's obligation, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain the Premises in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire and casualty excepted, including: the interior surfaces of the ceilings, walls and floors; all doors and interior windows; furnishings installed within the Premises; all equipment installed by or at the expense of Tenant; and all plumbing, heating, ventilating, electrical and lighting facilities and fixtures; all landscaping, parking lots, fences and signs located within the Premises.
(2) In the event that Tenant fails to maintain the Premises in good order, condition and repair as required under this Lease, Landlord shall give Tenant prior written notice to do such acts as are required to so maintain the Premises. In the event that Tenant fails to commence such work within 30 days after written demand by Landlord, and diligently prosecute it to completion, then Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to do such acts and expend such funds at the expense of Tenant as are reasonably required to perform such work. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any reasonable damage, inconvenience or interference with Tenant's use of the Premises as a result of performing any such work.
(3) Landlord will maintain, repair and replace all structural components of the Premises and the roof of the Building, and if a repair, replacement or alteration or other change would be considered a capital improvement or replacement to the Premises under generally accepted accounting principles, then it shall be Landlord's responsibility to promptly make and pay for such repair, replacement, alteration or other change. The cost of any such capital improvement shall be amortized over the useful life of such item and Tenant agrees to pay its percentage share (which shall be determined by dividing the square footage of the Building by the square footage of all buildings benefitted by such improvement, including the Building) of the annual amortized amount. Such payment will be made by Tenant as set forth in Paragraph 4 above. Landlord shall do all acts required to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and rules of any public authority relating to the Premises, except to the extent that the foregoing are solely a result of Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant shall do all acts required to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and rules of any public authority relating solely to Tenant's use of the Premises. If a repair is required as a result of Tenant's negligence and such repair cost is not covered by insurance proceeds, Tenant will pay for the cost of such repair. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in the event that the need for repairs or the making of repairs (or both) which Landlord is obligated to effect at Landlord's expense renders a material portion of the Premises unusable for more than three consecutive business days, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent commencing with the fourth business day that the same are unusable; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to a pro rata abatement of rent under the foregoing due to unusability (i) caused directly or indirectly by any act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant's servants, employees, agents, contractors, visitors or licensees, (ii) where Tenant makes a decoration, alteration, improvement or addition which directly causes such unusability, or (iii) where the repair in question is one which Tenant is obligated to furnish under the provisions of this Lease.
Network Maintenance and Management 38.1 The Parties will work cooperatively to implement this Agreement. The Parties will exchange appropriate information (for example, maintenance contact numbers, network information, information required to comply with law enforcement and other security agencies of the government, escalation processes, etc.) to achieve this desired result.
38.2 Each Party will administer its network to ensure acceptable service levels to all users of its network services. Service levels are generally considered acceptable only when End Users are able to establish connections with little or no delay encountered in the network. Each Party will provide a twenty four (24)-hour contact number for Network Traffic Management issues to the other’s surveillance management center.
38.3 Each Party maintains the right to implement protective network traffic management controls, such as “cancel to”, “call gapping” or seven (7)-digit and ten (10)-digit code gaps, to selectively cancel the completion of traffic over its network, including traffic destined for the other Party’s network, when required to protect the public-switched network from congestion as a result of occurrences such as facility failures, switch congestion or failure or focused overload. Each Party shall immediately notify the other Party of any protective control action planned or executed.
38.4 Where the capability exists, originating or terminating traffic reroutes may be implemented by either Party to temporarily relieve network congestion due to facility failures or abnormal calling patterns. Reroutes shall not be used to circumvent normal trunk servicing. Expansive controls shall be used only when mutually agreed to by the Parties.
38.5 The Parties shall cooperate and share pre-planning information regarding cross-network call-ins expected to generate large or focused temporary increases in call volumes to prevent or mitigate the impact of these events on the public-switched network, including any disruption or loss of service to the other Party’s End Users. Facsimile (FAX) numbers must be exchanged by the Parties to facilitate event notifications for planned mass calling events.
38.6 Neither Party shall use any Interconnection Service provided under this Agreement or any other service related thereto or used in combination therewith in any manner that interferes with or impairs service over any facilities of AT&T-21STATE, its affiliated companies or other connecting telecommunications carriers, prevents any carrier from using its Telecommunications Service, impairs the quality or the privacy of Telecommunications Service to other carriers or to either Party’s End Users, causes hazards to either Party’s personnel or the public, damage to either Party’s or any connecting carrier’s facilities or equipment, including any malfunction of ordering or billing systems or equipment. Upon such occurrence either Party may discontinue or refuse service, but only for so long as the other Party is violating this provision. Upon any such violation, either Party shall provide the other Party notice of the violation at the earliest practicable time.
38.7 AT&T TENNESSEE hereby commits to provide Disaster Recovery to CLEC according to the plan below.
38.7.1 AT&T TENNESSEE Disaster Recovery Plan
38.7.2 In the unlikely event of a disaster occurring that affects AT&T TENNESSEE’s long-term ability to deliver traffic to a CLEC, general procedures have been developed by AT&T TENNESSEE to hasten the recovery process in accordance with the Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) Program established by the FCC to identify and prioritize telecommunication services that support national security or emergency preparedness (NS/EP) missions. A description of the TSP Program as it may be amended from time to time is available on AT&T TENNESSEE’s Wholesale – Southeast Region Web site. Since each location is different and could be affected by an assortment of potential problems, a detailed recovery plan is impractical. However, in the process of reviewing recovery activities for specific locations, some basic procedures emerge that appear to be common in most cases.
38.7.3 These general procedures should apply to any disaster that affects the delivery of traffic for an extended time period. Each CLEC will be given the same consideration during an outage, and service will be restored as quickly as possible. AT&T TENNESSEE reserves the right to make changes to these procedures as improvements become available or as business conditions dictate.
38.7.4 This plan will cover the basic recovery procedures that would apply to every CLEC.
