Landlord’s Obligations (a) Except as provided in Article Seven (Damage and Destruction) and Article Eight (Condemnation), Landlord shall maintain the foundations, exterior walls (excluding windows, doors, plate glass) and the interior surfaces of exterior walls and painting of the exterior surfaces of exterior walls) and roof of the Building in good condition and repair, at Landlord's sole expense. Landlord shall have no other obligation to bear any other expense of operation or maintenance of the Property (subject to Landlord's obligations under Section 2.03 to correct any latent defects in Landlord's Work or Tenant's Improvements).
(b) Landlord shall maintain the mechanical systems and utilities serving the Building and all parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, loading areas, access roads, corridors, fences, landscaping and planted areas of the Property in good order, condition and repair, consistent with first-class office/warehouse commercial property. Tenant shall pay all costs incurred by Landlord for such Maintenance ("Property Expenses"), including without limitation costs and expenses for the following: gardening and landscaping; exterior building repainting and glass cleaning, as necessary; resurfacing of asphalt parking areas and driveways if further patching or other repair is inconsistent with a first-class property or if the cost of such resurfacing, amortized as an annual charge over the expected useful life of the new surface, will be comparable to or less than the annual cost of repair); utilities, water and storm sewer charges; repairing, resurfacing, painting, lighting, cleaning, refuse removal, security and similar items; and a reasonable allowance to Landlord or Landlord's agent (which may include Chandelle Development LLC, an affiliate of Landlord) for management and supervision. Landlord may cause any or all of such services to be provided by third parties at market rates for similar services including all customary elements, and the cost of such services shall be charged to Tenant in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.
(c) Landlord shall estimate in advance the Property Expenses payable by Tenant hereunder for each calendar year during the term of this Lease, and shall provide statements of such estimated costs to Tenant annually (provided, however, that Landlord may adjust such estimates at any time based upon Landlord's experience and reasonable anticipation of costs). Tenant shall pay annual Property Expenses (prorated for any fractional month) in monthly installments concurrently with payment of Base Rent. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year of the Lease term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Property Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord during the preceding calendar year. Upon receipt of such statement, there Shall be an adjustment between Landlord and Tenant, with payment to or credit given by Landlord (as the case may be) so that Landlord shall receive the entire amount of Building Expenses for such period. Tenant shall have the right, within sixty (60) days after receipt of any such statements of estimated costs or annual reconciliation, to question in writing any particular item or items of expense which Tenant believes in good faith are not chargeable to Tenant under this Lease or are excessive and, if Landlord is unable to resolve the items in question to the reasonable satisfaction of Tenant within a reasonable time, the matter shall be referred for determination to an independent commercial property management professional selected jointly by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall nonetheless continue to pay installments against Property Expenses based on Landlord's estimate or reconciliation pending resolution of the dispute. Tenant shall also have the right to audit Landlord's books and records relating to Property Expenses, at Tenant's expense, not more frequently than once per calendar year.
Landlord’s Obligation Except as hereinafter provided in this Section 11.2 Landlord shall not be required to make any alterations, reconstructions, replacements, changes, additions, improvements or repairs of any kind or nature whatsoever to the Premises or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, any portion of the Improvements or any FF&E) at any time during the Term of this Lease. Landlord agrees that it shall be Landlord's responsibility to make and pay for major repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals, replacements or additions to the Premises, structure, roof or exterior facade, and to its mechanical, electrical, heating, ventilating air conditioning, plumbing and vertical transportation systems (all of the foregoing the "Major Repairs"). In this regard, Tenant shall prepare and deliver to Landlord for its review and approval, an annual estimate (the "Building Estimate") of the expenses necessary for Major Repairs which Tenant believes should be made to the Premises for the following Lease Year, which Building Estimate shall be submitted to Landlord for its review and approval not later than sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of each calendar year during the Term hereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of Section 23.9 shall not be applicable to this Section 11.2 and any Major Repairs not approved by Landlord shall not be made; provided, however, that Landlord agrees that it will not withhold its consent with respect to Major Repairs which are required by reason of any law, ordinance, regulation or order of governmental authority having jurisdiction (as determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgement) for the continued safe and orderly operation of the Premises or which are required by the Franchise Agreement or which are required in the case of an emergency. If the Landlord does not approve the Building Estimate or any Major Repair contemplated therein, the parties shall attempt in good faith during the subsequent thirty (30) day period to resolve any disputes, which attempts shall include, if requested by either party, at least one meeting of executive-level officers of Landlord and Tenant. In the event that the parties are still not able to reach agreement on the Building Estimate for any particular Lease Year after complying with the foregoing requirements of this Section 11.2, the parties shall adopt such portions of the Building Estimate as they may have agreed upon and any matters not agreed upon shall be referred to arbitration. Pending the results of such arbitration or the earlier agreement of the parties, no Major Repairs shall be made unless the same are set forth in a previously approved Building Estimate or are specifically required by Landlord or otherwise required in case of emergency as aforesaid. With respect to any such matter to be submitted to arbitration, Landlord shall be entitled to designate any nationally recognized accounting firm with a hospitality division of which Landlord or an Affiliate of Landlord is not a significant client to serve as arbitrator of such dispute within fifteen (15) days after written demand for arbitration is received or sent by Landlord. In the event Landlord fails to make such designation within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant shall be entitled to designate any nationally recognized accounting firm with a hospitality division of which Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant is not a significant client to serve as arbitrator of such dispute within fifteen (15) days after Landlord fails to timely make such designation. In the event no nationally recognized accounting firm satisfying such qualifications is available and willing to serve as arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association from among the members of its panel who are qualified and who have experience in resolving matters of a nature similar to the matter to be resolved by arbitration. In any event a single arbitrator shall be designated and shall resolve the dispute. The arbitrator's decision shall be binding on all parties and shall not be subject to further review or appeal except as otherwise allowed by applicable law. Upon failure of either party to comply with the arbitrator's decision, the arbitrator shall be empowered at the request of the other party to order such compliance by the non-complying party and to supervise or arrange for the supervision of the non-complying party to comply with the arbitrator's decision, all at the expense of the non-complying party. To the maximum extent possible, the arbitrator and the parties, and the American Arbitration Association, if applicable, shall take any action necessary to ensure that the arbitration shall be concluded within ninety (90) days following such dispute. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Landlord and the Tenant. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties or required by the arbitrator or the American Arbitration Association, if applicable, arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be conducted in the state where the Premises are located. Notwithstanding formal rules of evidence, each party may submit such evidence as each party deems appropriate to support its position and the arbitrator shall have access to and the right to examine all books and records of Landlord and Tenant regarding the Premises during such arbitration. In the event of the receipt by Tenant of a governmental order or other circumstances ascribed in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall promptly deliver the same to Landlord. The cost of Major Repairs shall be borne by Landlord and upon funding of the same by Landlord, Base Rent shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided in this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in the event that funding is necessary for Major Repairs, Landlord shall provide the funds required for such expenditures ("Additional Capital Investment") and Base Rent shall be increased by the amount necessary to provide a per annum yield on the Additional Capital Investment equal to the greater of (a) ten percent 10.00% or (b) the yield on the ten-year U.S. Treasury Securities (at the time the Additional Capital Investment is requested by Tenant), plus 375 basis points.
Landlord’s Repair Obligations If this Lease does not terminate with respect to the entire Premises under Section 12.1 and the Taking includes a portion of the Premises, then this Lease automatically terminates as to the portion of the Premises taken as of the date that the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion taken. Landlord will, at its sole cost and expense, restore the remaining portion of the Premises to a complete architectural unit with all commercially reasonable diligence and speed and will reduce the Basic Rent for the period after the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Premises taken to a sum equal to the product of the Basic Rent provided in this Lease multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area of the Premises after the Taking and after Landlord restores the Premises to a complete architectural unit, and the denominator of which is the rentable area of the Premises prior to the Taking. Landlord will also equitably adjust Tenant’s Share of Expenses Percentage for the same period to account for the reduction in the rentable area of the Premises or the Building resulting from the Taking. Tenant’s obligation to pay Basic Rent and Tenant’s Share of Expenses will xxxxx on a proportionate basis with respect to that portion of the Premises remaining after the Taking that Tenant is unable to use during Landlord’s restoration for the period of time that Tenant is unable to use such portion of the Premises.
Landlord’s Repairs Landlord, as an Operating Expense, shall maintain all of the structural, exterior, parking and other Common Areas of the Project, including HVAC, plumbing, fire sprinklers, elevators and all other building systems serving the Premises and other portions of the Project (“Building Systems”), in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages caused by Tenant, or by any of Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) excluded. Losses and damages caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party shall be repaired by Landlord, to the extent not covered by insurance, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord reserves the right to stop Building Systems services when necessary (i) by reason of accident or emergency, or (ii) for planned repairs, alterations or improvements, which are, in the judgment of Landlord, desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply Building Systems services during any such period of interruption; provided, however, that Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, make a commercially reasonable effort to give Tenant 24 hours advance notice of any planned stoppage of Building Systems services for routine maintenance, repairs, alterations or improvements. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Section, after which Landlord shall make a commercially reasonable effort to effect such repair. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after Tenant’s written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance. Tenant waives its rights under any state or local law to terminate this Lease or to make such repairs at Landlord’s expense and agrees that the parties’ respective rights with respect to such matters shall be solely as set forth herein. Repairs required as the result of fire, earthquake, flood, vandalism, war, or similar cause of damage or destruction shall be controlled by Section 18.
Landlord’s Fees Whenever Tenant requests Landlord to take any action not required of it hereunder or give any consent required or permitted under this Lease, Tenant will reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable, out-of-pocket costs payable to third parties and incurred by Landlord in reviewing the proposed action or consent, including reasonable attorneys’, engineers’ or architects’ fees, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a statement of such costs. Tenant will be obligated to make such reimbursement without regard to whether Landlord consents to any such proposed action.
Landlord’s Property All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Alterations or improvements and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to their condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements or, at Landlord’s election, to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord; provided; however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request by Tenant at the time of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to any Alteration or improvement, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the applicable Alteration or improvement will be required to be removed pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.5. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises and return the affected portion of the Premises to their condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements or, if elected by Landlord, to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Rent shall continue to accrue under this Lease in accordance with Article 16, below, after the end of the Lease Term until such work shall be completed, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such work and to charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien, including but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
LANDLORD’S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Subject to Section 7.1 and Article XI, Landlord shall provide service, maintenance and repair with respect to any air conditioning, ventilating or heating equipment which serves the Premises (exclusive, however, of supplemental HVAC equipment serving only the Premises), and shall maintain in good repair the roof, foundations, footings, the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls of the Building (including exterior glass), and the structural, electrical and mechanical systems, except that Tenant at its expense shall make all repairs which Landlord deems reasonably necessary as a result of the act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, subtenants or contractors. Landlord shall have the right to employ or designate any reputable person or firm, including any employee or agent of Landlord or any of Landlord's affiliates or divisions, to perform any service, repair or maintenance function. Landlord need not make any other improvements or repairs except as specifically required under this Lease, and nothing contained in this Section shall limit Landlord's right to reimbursement from Tenant for maintenance, repair costs and replacement costs as provided elsewhere in this Lease. Tenant understands that it shall not make repairs at Landlord's expense or by rental offset. Tenant further understands that Landlord shall not be required to make any repairs to the roof, foundations, footings, the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls of the Building (excluding exterior glass), or structural, electrical or mechanical systems unless and until Tenant has notified Landlord in writing of the need for such repair and Landlord shall have a reasonable period of time thereafter to commence and complete said repair, if warranted. All costs of any maintenance, repairs and replacement on the part of Landlord provided hereunder shall be considered part of Project Costs. Tenant further agrees that if Tenant fails to report any such need for repair in writing within sixty (60) days of its discovery by Tenant, Tenant shall be responsible for any costs and expenses and other damages related to such repair which are in excess of those which would have resulted had such need for repair been reported to Landlord within such sixty (60) day period.
LANDLORD'S MAINTENANCE Subject to the provisions of Articles 4 and 14, Landlord shall, as an Operating Expense, maintain and make necessary repairs to the foundations, roofs, exterior walls, and the structural elements of the Building, the electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, mechanical, communication, security and the fire and life safety systems of the Building and those corridors, washrooms and lobbies which are Common Areas of the Building, except that: (a) Landlord shall not be responsible for the maintenance or repair of any floor or wall coverings in the Premises or any of such systems which are located within the Premises and are supplemental or special to the Building’s standard systems; and (b) the cost of performing any of said maintenance or repairs whether to the Premises or to the Building caused by the negligence of Tenant, its employees, agents, servants, licensees, subtenants, contractors or invitees, shall be paid by Tenant, subject to the waivers set forth in Section 16.4. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any expense, injury, loss or damage resulting from work done in or upon, or in connection with the use of, any adjacent or nearby building, land, street or alley.
Tenant’s Obligations 9.2.1 Tenant shall, at all times during the Term and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep the Premises and every part thereof including structural and non-structural in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and casualty as described in Section 18 excepted. Tenant shall exercise and perform good maintenance practices. Tenant's repair and maintenance obligations shall include all equipment or facilities serving the Premises, such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning, ventilating, electrical, lighting facilities, boilers, fired or unfired pressure vessels, fire sprinkler and/or standpipe and hose or other automatic fire extinguishing system, including fire alarm and/or smoke detection systems and equipment, fire hydrants, fixtures, walls (interior and exterior), foundations, ceilings, roof, floors, windows, doors, plate glass, skylights, landscaping, driveways, parking lots, fences, retaining walls, signs, sidewalks and parkways located in, on, about or adjacent to the Premises (whether or not such portion of the Premises requiring repairs, or the means of repairing same, are reasonably or readily accessible to Tenant, and whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Tenant's use, any prior use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises). Tenant's obligations shall include restorations, replacements or renewals when necessary to keep the Premises and all improvements thereon or a part thereof in good order, condition and state of repair. If, inclusive of Tenant's occupancy pursuant to earlier lease agreement(s) and amendments thereto, Tenant has occupied the Premises for seven (7) years or more, Landlord may require Tenant to repaint the exterior of the buildings on the Premises as reasonably required, but not more frequently than once every seven (7) years.
9.2.2 Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as delivered on the Commencement Date, subject to permitted alterations, additions and improvements, and ordinary wear and tear and casualty, and Tenant shall promptly remove or cause to be removed, at Tenant's expense, all of Tenant's signs, displays, trade fixtures and personal property from the Premises.
Condition of the Leased Property Lessee acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property. Lessee has examined and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property and has found the same to be satisfactory for its purposes hereunder. Lessee is leasing the Leased Property “as is” in its present condition. Lessee waives any claim or action against Lessor in respect of the condition of the Leased Property. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LEASED PROPERTY HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LESSEE AND IS SATISFACTORY TO IT. Provided, however, to the extent permitted by law, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee all of Lessor’s rights to proceed against any predecessor in title (other than any Affiliate of Lessee, which conveyed the Property to Lessor) for breaches of warranties or representations or for latent defects in the Leased Property. Lessor shall fully cooperate with Lessee in the prosecution of any such claim, in Lessor’s or Lessee’s name, all at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any claims, obligations and liabilities against or incurred by Lessor in connection with such cooperation.
