ACCESS BY LANDLORD Under the terms of this Lease, access to the Property by Landlord may be undertaken as follows:
A. The Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the Landlord to enter the dwelling unit from time to time in order to inspect the Property; make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements; supply agreed services; or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers, or contractors.
B. Landlord may enter the dwelling unit at any time for the protection or preservation of the Property. Landlord may enter the dwelling unit upon reasonable notice to the Tenant and at a reasonable time for the purpose of repair of the Property. 'Reasonable notice' for the purpose of repair is notice given at least 24 hours prior to the entry, and reasonable time for the purpose of repair shall be between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Landlord may enter the dwelling unit when necessary for the further purposes set forth above under any of the following circumstances:
a. With the consent of the Tenant
b. In case of emergency
c. When the Tenant unreasonably withholds consent
d. If the Tenant is absent from the Property for a period of time equal to one-half the time for periodic rental payments. If the Rent is current and the Tenant notifies Landlord of an intended absence, then the Landlord may enter only with the consent of the Tenant or for the protection or preservation of the Property.
C. The Landlord shall not abuse the right of access nor use it to harass the Tenant.
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.
Services by Landlord As long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, Landlord agrees to furnish those services and utilities to the Premises, which are customarily provided to tenants in comparable suburban office buildings located in the West Fort Worth area, and which shall specifically include the services listed on Exhibit “G” (attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes). All of such services shall be provided at Landlord’s cost and expense during Normal Business Hours except as specifically provided to the contrary elsewhere in this Lease. Services provided at times other than during Normal Business Hours shall be at Tenant’s cost and expense, with such charges to be established by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, and reimbursed to Landlord on demand. Failure to any extent to furnish or any stoppage of said utilities and services resulting from any cause whatsoever (a “Service Failure”) shall not render Landlord liable in any respect for damages to either person, property or business, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement contained herein. Should any malfunction of the Building improvements or facilities (which by definition do not include any improvements or facilities of Tenant besides Building standard improvements) occur for any reason (a “Malfunction”), Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair same promptly, but Tenant shall have no claim for rebate or abatement of rent or damages on account of such Malfunction or of any Service Failure occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Malfunction or Service Failure results in the Premises or any material portion thereof not being reasonably usable by Tenant for its business purpose (“Untenantable”) (unless the Service Failure is caused by a fire or other casualty, in which event Paragraph 22 hereof controls) and same remains uncured for a total of 5 consecutive days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice of the Malfunction or Service Failure, Tenant shall have the following rights and remedies:
(a) Effective on the first day after the 5th consecutive day following such Malfunction or Service Failure, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of Base Rental and Additional Rental commensurate to that portion of the Premises rendered Untenantable by the Malfunction or Service Failure calculated on a per square foot basis and ending at the time the Premises are again suitable for use by Tenant for its intended purposes.
ENTRY BY LANDLORD Landlord shall at any and all times have the right to enter the Demised Premises to inspect the same, to show the Demised Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants and to post notices of non-responsibility. Landlord shall also have the right to conduct such maintenance and repair of or to the Demised Premises (or the Building) as Landlord may deem necessary, without abatement of Rent, and for that purpose may erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always providing that the entrance to the Demised Premises shall not be unreasonably blocked thereby, and further provided that the business of Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of any such entry to Tenant and shall attempt to minimize interference with Tenant’s business. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Demised Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Demised Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and files. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Demised Premises without liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant’s property. Any entry to the Demised Premises obtained by Landlord by any of such means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of the Demised Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Demised Premises or any portion thereof.
SALE BY LANDLORD In event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord of the Building, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any future liability upon any of the covenants or conditions, expressed or implied, contained in this Lease in favor of Tenant, and in such event Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease. Except as set forth in this Article 24, this Lease shall not be affected by any such sale and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee. If any security has been given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of any of the covenants of this Lease, Landlord may transfer or deliver said security, as such, to Landlord’s successor in interest and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with regard to said security.
Transfers by Landlord Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all of its rights and obligations hereunder and in the Building and Property referred to herein, and in such event and upon such transfer Landlord shall be released from any further obligations hereunder, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of Landlord for the performance of such obligations.
Conveyance by Landlord If Landlord or any successor owner of all or any portion of the Leased Property shall convey all or any portion of the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of such of the Leased Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Landlord hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Landlord or such successor owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Agreement with respect to such of the Leased Property arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.
TRANSFER BY LANDLORD Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Property, or any portion thereof at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer and (ii) shall be relieved of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform all such prior obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any such transfer, the term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Building or the Property.
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.
RE-ENTRY BY LANDLORD If Tenant shall default in the payment of any fixed rent or additional rent or any other sum or charge payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord on any date upon which the sum becomes due, or if this Lease shall expire as in Article 16 hereof provided, Landlord of Landlord's agents and servants may immediately, or at any time thereafter, re-enter into or upon the premises, or any part thereof, in the name of the whole, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, or by force or otherwise, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any persons therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the premises again as and of its first estate and interest therein. The words "re-enter", "re-entry" and "re-entered" as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings. In the event of any termination of this Lease under the provisions of Article 16 hereof or in the event that Landlord shall re-enter the premises under the provisions of this Article 17 or in the event of the termination of this Lease (or of re-entry) by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the fixed rent, additional rent and any other sum or charge payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord up to the time of such termination of this Lease, or of such recovery of possession of the premises by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord damages as provided in Article 18 hereof. In the event of a breach of threatened breach on the part of the Tenant with respect to any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions or conditions on the part of or on behalf of Tenant to be kept, observed or performed, Landlord shall also have the right of injunction. The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may lawfully be entitled at any time, and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for. In the event of (a) the termination of this Lease under the provisions of Article 16 hereof, (b) the re-entry of the premises by Landlord under the provisions of this Article 17, or (c) the termination of this Lease (or re-entry) by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to retain all monies, if any paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as advance rent, security or otherwise, but such moneys shall be credited by Landlord against any fixed rent, additional rent or any other sum or charge due from Tenant at the time of such termination or re-entry or, at Landlord's option, against any damages payable by Tenant under Article 18 hereof or pursuant to law.
