Said costs of compliance shall be Landlord's sole cost and shall not be part of Project Costs. Landlord shall correct, repair or replace any non-compliance of the Building exterior and the Common Areas with any revisions or amendments to the ADA in effect after the Commencement Date, provided that the amortized cost of such repairs or replacements (amortized over the useful life thereof using a market cost of funds reasonably determined by Landlord) shall be included as Project Costs payable by Tenant. All other ADA compliance issues which pertain to the Premises, including, without limitation, in connection with Tenant's construction of any alterations or other improvements in the Premises (and any resulting ADA compliance requirements in the Common Areas), the Tenant Improvements and the operation of Tenant's business and employment practices in the Premises, shall be the responsibility of Tenant at its sole cost and expense. Landlord shall, during the initial Lease Term, correct, repair or replace, at Landlord's sole cost and expense and not as a Project Cost, any failure of the structural components of the roof, foundations, footings and load-bearing walls of the Building.

(b) Landlord warrants to Tenant that the Shell Building Improvements as defined in the Discovery Outline Specifications (as defined in the Work Letter) and the Tenant Improvements to be completed pursuant to the Work Letter shall be free from defects in workmanship or materials for a period of twelve (12) months from the Commencement Date. Landlord shall promptly rectify any non-compliance at its sole cost and expense after receipt of written notice from Tenant within such time setting forth the nature and extent of any such non-compliance. Landlord shall obtain customary warranties and guaranties from the contractor(s) performing the Tenant Improvement work and/or the manufacturers of equipment installed but shall be under no obligation to incur additional expense in order to obtain or extend such warranties. If after expiration of the initial twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, Tenant is required to make repairs to any component of the Premises or any of its systems for which Landlord may have obtained a warranty, Landlord shall, upon request by Tenant, use its good faith efforts to pursue its rights under any such warranties for the benefit of Tenant. Landlord shall be under no obligation to incur any expense in connection with asserting rights under such warranties or guaranties against either the contractor or the manufacturer, but shall use reasonable good faith efforts to enforce such warranties and guaranties for Tenant's benefit.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2 of this Lease, Landlord agrees to maintain and repair, at its sole cost and expense and not as an Operating Expense the structural components of the roof and Building, including floor/ceiling slabs, columns, beams, walls and the foundations and footings of the Building during the initial Lease Term. If a non-compliance with the foregoing warranty exists, Landlord shall, promptly after receipt of the written notice from Tenant setting forth the nature and extent of such non-compliance, rectify same at Landlord's sole cost and expense.
Tenant’s Responsibilities Except as expressly provided in Paragraph 10.1 above, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, maintain the entire Premises and every part thereof, including without limitation, windows, skylights, window frames, plate glass, freight docks, doors and related hardware, interior walls and partitions, and the electrical, plumbing, lighting, heating and air conditioning systems in good order, condition and repair. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, every six (6) months during the Lease Term, a certificate of maintenance or its equivalent, signed by a licensed HVAC repair and maintenance contractor and stating that the heating and air conditioning systems servicing the Premises have been inspected, serviced and are in good order, condition and repair. Tenant's failure to deliver said certificate or its equivalent within thirty (30) days following written notice from Landlord that said certificate is past due shall be a Default by Tenant. If Tenant fails to make repairs or perform maintenance work required of Tenant hereunder within fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord specifying the need for such repairs or maintenance work, Landlord or Landlord's agents may, in addition to all other rights and remedies available hereunder or by law and without waiving any alternative remedies, enter into the Premises and make such repairs and/or perform such maintenance work. If Landlord makes such repairs and/or performs such maintenance work, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand and as Additional Rent, for the cost of such repairs and/or maintenance work. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any damage, inconvenience or interference with the use of the Premises by Tenant or Tenant's agents as a result of Landlord performing any such repairs or maintenance (unless such damage, inconvenience or interference is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors); provided, however, under no circumstances shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for claims of lost profits, loss of business or lost income. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, on demand and as Additional Rent, for the cost of damage to the Premises and/or Common Area caused by Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees or contractors. Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect (including without limitation the provisions of subsection 1 of Section 1932, Section 1941 and Section 1942 of the California Civil Code and any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect) which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense (or to deduct the cost of such repairs from Rentals due hereunder) or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in good and sanitary order.
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.
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.

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.
