By Landlord Landlord shall be responsible, at its expense, only for the structural soundness of the roof, foundation and exterior walls of the Building. Any repair to the roof, foundation or exterior walls required due to the fault or omission of Tenant, or its agents, employees, guests or invitees shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. The term “walls” as used in this Paragraph 7(a) shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, interior doors, special store fronts, office entries or exterior doors. Landlord’s liability with respect to any defects, repairs or maintenance for which Landlord is responsible at its expense under this Lease shall be limited to the cost of such repairs or maintenance or the curing of such defect. As expenses included in Common Area Maintenance Expenses, Landlord will be responsible for landscaping and maintenance of common areas and parking areas, exterior painting, and common sewage line plumbing. Tenant shall immediately give Landlord written notice of defects or need for repairs, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to repair same or cure such defect. Landlord shall not be required to perform any covenant or obligation of this Lease, or be liable in damages to Tenant, so long as the performance or non-performance of the covenant or obligation is delayed, caused by, or prevented by an act of God or force majeure. An “act of God” or “force majeure” is defined for purposes of this Lease as strikes, lockouts, sit-downs, material or labor restrictions by any governmental authority, riots, floods, washouts, explosions, earthquakes, fire, storms, acts of the public enemy, wars, insurrections and any other similar cause not reasonably within the control of Landlord, and which by the exercise of due diligence Landlord is unable, wholly or in part, to prevent or overcome. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to be monetarily responsible for any repairs/replacements caused by any non- working interior items including but not limited to electrical, plumbing and mechanical equipment within the Premises for the first sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date of the Lease unless the need for such repairs or replacements is caused by Tenant, in which case, Tenant shall be monetarily responsible.
Lessor The Lessor designated on this Lease and its respective successors and assigns. Lessor Indemnified Party: Lessor, any Affiliate of Lessor, including the Company, any other Person against whom any claim for indemnification may be asserted hereunder as a result of a direct or indirect ownership interest in Lessor, the officers, trustees, directors, stockholders, partners, members, employees, agents and representatives of any of the foregoing Persons and of any stockholder, partner, member, agent, or representative of any of the foregoing Persons, and the respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of any such officer, trustee, director, partner, member, stockholder, employee, agent or representative.
Landlord Liability Tenant, its successors, and assigns shall not assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in the Industrial Center. Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability or claim against Landlord under this Lease. In no event whatsoever shall Landlord (which term shall include, without limitation, any general or limited partner, trustees, beneficiaries, officers, directors, or stockholders of Landlord) ever be personally liable for any such liability.
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:
Access by Landlord Landlord and any of Landlord’s Invitees shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, during normal business hours if feasible under the circumstances, and upon 24 hours’ notice, if feasible under the circumstances, (i) to determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease, (ii) to do any necessary maintenance or make any restoration to the Premises that Landlord has the right or obligation to perform, (iii) to serve, post, or keep posted any notices required or allowed under this Lease, (v) to post “for sale” or “for rent” or “for lease” signs during the final nine months of the Term, (vi) to show the Premises to brokers, lenders, agents, prospective buyers, prospective tenants, or other persons interested in a listing of, financing, purchasing, or occupying the Project, the Premises or any portion of the Project or the Premises, and (vii) to shore the foundations, footings, and walls of the Project, and to erect scaffolding and protective barricades around and about the Premises, but not so as to prevent entry to the Premises, and to do any other act or thing necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises if any excavation or other construction is undertaken or is about to be undertaken on any adjacent property or nearby street. In the event of an emergency Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, without prior notice to Tenant. Landlord’s rights under this Paragraph extend, with Landlord’s consent, to the owner of adjacent property on which excavation or construction is to take place and the adjacent property owner’s agents, employees, officers, and contractors. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance, or other damage arising out of any entry on the Premises as provided in this Paragraph except damage resulting directly from the grossly negligent acts or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s Invitees. Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of Basic Monthly Rent or other Rent because of the exercise by Landlord of any rights under this Paragraph.
Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Lessor After receiving notice from any person, firm or other entity that it holds a mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises, or that it is the ground lessor under a lease with Landlord, as ground lessee, which includes the Premises as a part of the demised premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such holder or ground lessor, and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such holder or ground lessor within a reasonable time thereafter (including a reasonable time to obtain possession of the premises if the mortgagee or ground lessor elects to do so) shall be treated as performance by Landlord. For the purposes of this Section 9.4 or Section 9.14, the term “mortgage” includes a mortgage on a leasehold interest of Landlord (but not one on Tenant’s leasehold interest).
Alterations by Landlord Landlord may from time to time:
Payment By Landlord; Interest Upon a Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant hereunder, make such payment or perform such act. All sums so paid or incurred by Landlord, together with interest thereon, from the date such sums were paid or incurred, at the annual rate equal to 12% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law (the “Default Rate”), whichever is less, shall be payable to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent. Nothing herein shall be construed to create or impose a duty on Landlord to mitigate any damages resulting from Tenant’s Default hereunder.
Maintenance by Landlord Tenant and its employees, customers and licensees shall have the non-exclusive right to use the parking areas, if any, as may be designated by Landlord in writing, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time prescribe. Further, in multiple occupancy buildings, Landlord shall perform the roof, paving, and landscape maintenance, exterior painting and common sewage line plumbing which are otherwise Tenant's obligations under Subsection 2.2.2(a) above, and Tenant shall, in lieu of the obligations set forth under Subsection 2.2.2(a) above with respect to such items, be liable for its proportionate share (as defined in Subsection 2.2.1(b) above) of the cost and expense of Building maintenance and the care for the grounds around the Building, including but not limited to, the mowing of grass, care of shrubs, general landscaping, maintenance of parking areas, driveways and alleys, roof maintenance, exterior repainting and common sewage line plumbing; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay such other reasonable proportion of said mowing, shrub care and general landscaping costs as may be determined by Landlord in its sole discretion; and further provided that if Tenant or any other particular tenant of the Building can be clearly identified as being responsible for obstruction or stoppage of the common sanitary sewage line then Tenant, if Tenant is responsible, or such other responsible tenant, shall pay the entire cost thereof, upon demand, as additional rent. Tenant shall pay/4// when due its share, determined as aforesaid, of such costs and expenses along with the other tenants of the Building to Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, for the amount of its share of such costs and expenses in the event Landlord elects to perform or cause to be performed such work. Such share shall include a management fee equal to five percent (5%) of the Rent for each Lease Year, administrative and accounting costs, and a/5// reserve for asphalt, roof repairs and repainting.
Inspection by Landlord Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Tenant Improvements at all times, provided however, that Landlord’s failure to inspect the Tenant Improvements shall in no event constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder nor shall Landlord’s inspection of the Tenant Improvements constitute Landlord’s approval of the same. Should Landlord disapprove any portion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such disapproval and shall specify the items disapproved. Any defects or deviations in, and/or disapproval by Landlord of, the Tenant Improvements shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense to Landlord, provided however, that in the event Landlord determines that a defect or deviation exists or disapproves of any matter in connection with any portion of the Tenant Improvements and such defect, deviation or matter might adversely affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning or life-safety systems of the Building, the structure or exterior appearance of the Building or any other tenant’s use of such other tenant’s leased premises, Landlord may, take such action as Landlord deems necessary, at Tenant’s expense and without incurring any liability on Landlord’s part, to correct any such defect, deviation and/or matter, including, without limitation, causing the cessation of performance of the construction of the Tenant Improvements until such time as the defect, deviation and/or matter is corrected to Landlord’s satisfaction.
