Building Systems The term "Building Systems" means all systems serving the Building in general, including, but not limited to, the fire/life safety, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, including all components thereof and related equipment, including any distribution systems or equipment existing within the Premises.
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. However, Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord is currently renovating or may during the Lease Term renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the "Renovations") the Project, the Building and/or the Premises including without limitation the parking structure, common areas, systems and equipment, roof, and structural portions of the same, which Renovations may include, without limitation, (i) installing sprinklers in the Building common areas and tenant spaces, (ii) modifying the common areas and tenant spaces to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including regulations relating to the physically disabled, seismic conditions, and building safety and security, and (iii) installing new floor covering, lighting, and wall coverings in the Building common areas, and in connection with any Renovations, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the common areas, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building. 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.
Common Areas Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the Rules and Regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas.” The term “Project Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project designated as such by Landlord or areas within the Project that the occupants of the Building are permitted to utilize pursuant to a recorded declaration and which areas shall be maintained in accordance with the declaration. The term “Building Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to the Rules and Regulations as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas, provided that, in connection therewith, Landlord shall perform such closures, alterations, additions or changes in a commercially reasonable manner and, in connection therewith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any material interference with Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises.
Common Area Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and such rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time reasonably prescribe, Tenant and Tenant’s employees, invitees and customers shall, in common with other occupants of the Parcel, and their respective employees, invitees and customers, and others entitled to the use thereof, have the non-exclusive right to use the access roads, parking areas and facilities provided and designated by Landlord for the general use and convenience of the occupants of the Parcel, which areas and facilities are referred to herein as “Common Area.” This right shall terminate upon the termination of this Lease. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make changes in the shape, size, location, amount and extent of the Common Area; provided that no such changes shall prevent or materially diminish or adversely affect Tenant’s ability to have access to and use of the Premises or Tenant’s allocation of parking spaces. Landlord further reserves the right to promulgate such rules and regulations relating to the use of the Common Area, and any part or parts thereof, as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate for the best interest of the occupants of the Building. The rules and regulations shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant, and Tenant shall abide by them and cooperate in their observance. Such rules and regulations may be reasonably amended by Landlord from time to time, with advance notice, and all amendments shall be effective upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant. Tenant shall have the exclusive use of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the parking spaces in the Common Area on a “first-come, first served” basis at no cost to Tenant during the Term or any extension or renewal of the Term. Tenant shall not at any time park or permit the parking of Tenant’s trucks or other vehicles, or the trucks or other vehicles of others, adjacent to loading areas so as to interfere in any way with the use of such areas, nor shall Tenant at any time park or permit the parking of Tenant’s vehicles or trucks, or the vehicles or trucks of Tenant’s suppliers or others, in any portion of the Common Area not designated by Landlord for such use by Tenant. Tenant shall not abandon any inoperative vehicles or equipment on any portion of the Common Area. Tenant shall make no alterations, improvements or additions to the Common Area without prior written approval of Landlord. Landlord shall at all times operate, manage, insure, maintain and repair the Common Area in good order, condition and repair. The manner in which the Common Area shall be maintained and the expenditures for such maintenance shall be at the unfettered discretion of Landlord. Except as excluded herein or in Addendum One, the cost of such repair, maintenance, operation, insurance and management, including without limitation, maintenance and repair of landscaping, irrigation systems, paving, sidewalks, fences, and lighting, shall be a Common Area Charge and Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such costs as provided in Paragraph 12 below.
Common Areas - Changes Lessor shall have the right, in Lessor's sole discretion, from time to time: (a) To make changes to the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas, walkways and utility raceways; (b) To close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains available; (c) To designate other land outside the boundaries of the Industrial Center to be a part of the Common Areas; (d) To add additional buildings and improvements to the Common Areas; (e) To use the Common Areas while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs or alterations to the Industrial Center, or any portion thereof; and (f) To do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas and Industrial Center as Lessor may, in the exercise of sound business judgment, deem to be appropriate.
Alterations to Premises Tenant shall make no structural or interior alterations to the Premises. If Tenant requests such alterations and such alterations are structural in nature, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with a complete set of construction drawings. If Landlord consents to the alterations, then the Landlord shall determine the actual cost of the work to be done. Tenant may then either agree to pay Landlord to have the work done or withdraw its request for alterations; provided, however, that at Tenant’s request, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to allowing Tenant and/or Tenant’s contractors to perform such work. All such alterations are subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, and notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord agrees to allow Tenant to construct (i) a data center within the Premises and to install equipment (which may include generator, condensers, UPS, etc.) in the Building and around the land surrounding the Building necessary to facilitate the operation of Tenant’s data center, and (ii) an opening in the curtain wall of Floor 1 of Building C, to install two (2) four foot doors within such opening, to improve the outside area for delivery access and to install other improvements (which may include a large dumpster) to the Building and the land surrounding the Building necessary to facilitate the operation of Tenant’s Fulfillment Center. All such alterations shall be performed by Tenant’s contractors (which shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the above paragraph, Tenant shall have the right to make nonstructural and nonsystems related alterations (“Tenant Alterations”) up to a value of $15,000.00 per occurrence (not to exceed $60,000 during any 12-month period) without Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord of its intent to make the Tenant Alterations. Such notice shall include a copy of plans and specifications (if such alterations are of a character that would reasonably require plans and specifications) and copies of all permits, if required by the appropriate municipality, and any contracts for such Tenant Alterations. All Tenant Alterations shall be performed by contractors approved by Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in accordance with all applicable laws and the rules and regulations described in Section 12b.
Premises Building Project and Common Areas 1.1 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.
MULTIPLE BUILDINGS If the Premises are part of a group of buildings controlled by Lessor, Lessee agrees that it will abide by, keep and observe all reasonable rules and regulations which Lessor may make from time to time for the management, safety, care, and cleanliness of the grounds, the parking and unloading of vehicles and the preservation of good order, as well as for the convenience of other occupants or tenants of such other buildings and their invitees, and that Lessee will pay its fair share of common expenses incurred in connection therewith.
Improvements to Premises Lessee shall take the Premises in its "as-is" condition for the Extended Term except for certain Leasehold Improvements (herein so called) to the Premises which shall be completed in accordance with the specifications attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Approved Plans"), which have been approved by both Lessor and Lessee. Lessor shall cause the Leasehold Improvements to be installed or constructed in accordance with the Approved Plans by Lessor's contractor. So long as no Event of Default (or event which with notice or lapse of time could become an Event of Default) has occurred under the Lease, Lessor agrees to provide Lessee an allowance equal to One Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand One Hundred Nineteen and No/100 Dollars ($153,119.00) (the "Improvement Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for completion of the Leasehold Improvements in accordance with the Approved Plans, and an additional allowance equal to Three Thousand Two Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,200.00) (the "Architectural Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for space planning and design services for the Premises. In the event that any alterations or modifications to the Premises are required in order to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the State of Texas equivalent laws and regulations, the cost of any such alterations or modifications shall be satisfied out of the Improvement Allowance. The cost of the Leasehold Improvements and the space planning and design fees is to be paid by Lessor out of the Improvement Allowance and the Architectural Allowance, respectively. Any completed work (labor or materials) outside the scope of the Approved Plans or the cost of which is in excess of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance, as the case may be, shall be at Lessee's sole cost and will be billed to Lessee by Lessor and will be due and payable within ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of an invoice therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will not be liable for work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs over the amount of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance unless Lessee has consented in writing to such work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs prior to the commencement of such work or the incurring of such excess costs. Any portion of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance remaining upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements shall be deemed forfeited by Lessee. Lessor further acknowledges and agrees that Section 4.07 of the Lease is hereby amended to provide that Lessee shall not be required to surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor "in the same condition as when received", but rather shall be entitled to surrender possession of the Premises in the same condition as exists upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements described in Paragraph 3 above, subject to any and all other requirements set forth in Section 4.07 of the Lease.
Parking Areas Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord will not be responsible for any loss, theft or damage to vehicles, or the contents thereof, parked or left in the parking areas of the Premises and Tenant shall install at least one sign in the parking areas so advising its employees, visitors or invitees who may use such parking areas. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.5, parking areas shall be used for parking by vehicles no larger than full-size passenger automobiles or pick-up trucks, herein called "Permitted Size Vehicles." Vehicles other than Permitted Size Vehicles shall be parked and loaded or unloaded as directed by Landlord in the Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant's employees, suppliers, shippers, customers, contractors or invitees to be loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for such activities. Tenant agrees not to use or permit its employees, visitors or invitees to use the parking areas for overnight storage of vehicles, except for trucks on the Premises in the process of loading or unloading, and except for semi-tractors and trailers parked in the areas shown on the Site Plan as "Tenant's Designated Truck Parking". Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall not permit any of its employees, agents, contractors, vendors or shippers to park trucks, automobiles, trailers or other vehicles on any of the public streets in the general vicinity of the Premises or the industrial or business park in which the Premises are located. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited activities described above for a period of five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right, without further notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved at Landlord's risk and expense. All responsibility for damage and theft to vehicles and their contents is assumed by the parties owning the same, including, respectively, Tenant or Tenant's partners, trustees, officers, directors, shareholders, members, invitees, or any of Tenant's assignees, subtenants or assignees' or subtenants' agents, employees, contractors, customers, suppliers, servants, guests, or independent contractors (collectively, "Tenant Parties"). Tenant shall repair or cause to be repaired, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, any and all damage, ordinary wear and tear excepted, to any portion of the Property caused by the use by Tenant Parties of the driveway or parking areas within the Property. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant by reason of any moratorium, initiative, referendum, statute, regulation or other governmental action which could in any manner prevent or limit the parking rights of Tenant hereunder. Any governmental charges or surcharges or other monetary obligations imposed relative to Parking rights with respect to the Building shall be considered assessments and shall be Payable by Tenant as set forth in Paragraph 4.1; as of the Commencement Date, Landlord represents there are no such charges or surcharges imposed on the Premises.
