Patent Maintenance All annuity and maintenance fees that are necessary in order to keep the Patents in force as of the Effective Date have been paid by Seller, and no payment of annuities or fees, or papers to be filed in patent offices, are required to be made within the three-month period after the Effective Date.
Repairs and Maintenance It is the responsibility of the Tenant(s) to notify the Landlord immediately of any needed repair or unsafe condition existing around or in the Premises including but not limited to cracks in the foundation, cracks in plaster, moisture in walls and ceiling, buckling sheetrock or siding, or any leaks. If Xxxxxx(s) fails to immediately notify Landlord of visible problems, which result in damage to the unit, then Tenant(s) becomes liable for cost of resultant damage. All repairs necessary to maintain premises shall be done by or under the direction of the Landlord, at the Landlord’s expense, except those caused by negligence or acts of Tenant(s), Tenant’s agents, or invitees, which repairs shall be made at the sole cost of the Tenant(s). Such repairs shall be made to conform to the original condition of the Premises at the time the Tenant(s) took possession. Although the Landlord repairs normal wear and tear items, the adage “you broke it you pay to fix it” applies to the Tenant(s) and it applies during tenancy as well as at the end of tenancy. In addition, if a Tenant(s) calls for maintenance for which no such maintenance is needed (false call), Tenant(s) will be charged for the service call. Any repairs, including labor, material, and parts used, which are the responsibility of the Tenant(s), must be pre-approved in writing by the Landlord. Landlord shall be the sole judge as to what repairs are necessary. Landlord shall have no obligation to repair any defective condition, nor shall any defense or remedy be available to the Tenant(s), where the defective condition complained of was caused by the Tenant, Xxxxxx’s family, invitee, licensee, or other person acting under the control or direction of the Tenant(s), or where the Tenant unreasonably fails to notify the Landlord of the condition or allow the Landlord access to the Premises for purposes of the repair. Before exercising any of the remedies in accordance with the Landlord-Tenant Act, Tenant(s) must be current in rent. Tenant(s) shall be responsible for all broken glass. Tenant(s) shall not paint, re-wallpaper, or otherwise redecorate or make alterations to the Premises without the written consent of the Landlord. If written consent is given, such alterations shall be at the expense of the Tenant(s) and shall become part of the Premises and the Owner’s property upon termination of this Lease and tenancy. Tenant(s) shall not permit any act or thing deemed hazardous by Landlord due to potential risk of fire or which will increase the rate of insurance on said Premises. In case the Premises or surrounding areas shall be damaged by fire, rain, wind, or other cause beyond the control of the Landlord or the Tenant, then the Premises or surrounding areas shall be repaired within a reasonable time at the expense of the Landlord; and in case the damage is so extensive as to render the Premises unfit for human habitation, the rent shall cease until such time as the Premises will be put in repair. In case of total destruction, the rent shall be paid until the time of such destruction and from thenceforth this Lease Agreement shall cease and come to an end. In the event, the damage is caused by the act of the Tenant(s), or someone in or on the Premises by reason of Tenant’s permission or consent, there shall be no reduction of rent and Tenant(s) shall be liable for all costs of repair. Should Landlord notify Tenant(s) of intent to clean, replace carpets or paint the Premises, moving furniture and wall hangings shall be the duty and expense of the Tenant(s). Tenant(s) understands there will be no rent reductions, adjustments, or other compensation due to repairs or interruptions of service except as provided by law.
Prosecution and Maintenance Wyeth shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance (including, without limitation, any interferences, oppositions, reissue proceedings and reexaminations), of the Wyeth Patents. Wyeth shall reasonably consult with DOV with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Wyeth Primary Patents and DOV agrees to reasonably cooperate with Wyeth in such activities. Wyeth shall keep DOV advised of the status of such activities and shall also inform DOV in a timely manner of any material communications Wyeth receives from the relevant patent office with respect to such activities. Wyeth shall give notice to DOV of any desire to cease preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any Wyeth Primary Patent on a country-by-country basis, and in such case, DOV shall have the right to elect to continue preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Wyeth Primary Patent. In the event that DOV elects to continue any such activities for such Wyeth Primary Patent, DOV shall reasonably consult with Wyeth with respect thereto and shall consider in good xxxxx Xxxxx’x reasonable views with respect to such activities, and Wyeth agrees to transfer to DOV all information reasonably requested by DOV for DOV to conduct such activities and to otherwise reasonably cooperate with DOV in such actions. DOV shall keep Wyeth advised of the status of such actions and shall also inform Wyeth in a timely manner of any material communications DOV receives from the relevant patent office with respect to such activities. Each party shall bear its own costs with respect to any preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Wyeth Patent for which it is responsible. Upon DOV’s reasonable request, Wyeth shall consider in good faith prosecuting in a separate Patent application any claim(s) concerning Product or Marketed Product that if separated into a separate Patent would thereby qualify as a “Wyeth Primary Patent” under clause (iv) of that definition instead of being included in another Wyeth Patent that is a “Wyeth Secondary Patent” hereunder, provided that (i) such separation and additional Patent shall not adversely affect the patentability, validity or enforceability any of the other Wyeth Patents or any other Patents owned or controlled by Wyeth or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) DOV shall be responsible for any incremental out-of-pocket costs incurred by Wyeth for preparing, filing, prosecuting and maintaining such additional Patent.

Except as permitted in this Section, Lessee shall not make any material alterations to the Equipment that diminishes its use or value.
(c) Upon forty-eight (48) hours' notice, Lessee shall afford Lessor and/or its designated representatives access to the premises where the Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting such Equipment and all applicable maintenance or other records relating thereto at any reasonable time during normal business hours; provided, however, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, no notice of any inspection by Lessor shall be required. If any discrepancies are found as they pertain to the general condition of the Equipment, Lessor will communicate these discrepancies to Lessee in writing. Lessee shall then have thirty (30) days to rectify these discrepancies at its sole expense. Lessee shall pay all expenses of a re-inspection by Lessor’s appointed representative, if corrective measures were required.
