Maintenance and Repairs (1) Except for matters specified under Paragraph 4 above and Paragraph 8A(3) below as being Landlord's obligation, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain the Premises in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire and casualty excepted, including: the interior surfaces of the ceilings, walls and floors; all doors and interior windows; furnishings installed within the Premises; all equipment installed by or at the expense of Tenant; and all plumbing, heating, ventilating, electrical and lighting facilities and fixtures; all landscaping, parking lots, fences and signs located within the Premises.
(2) In the event that Tenant fails to maintain the Premises in good order, condition and repair as required under this Lease, Landlord shall give Tenant prior written notice to do such acts as are required to so maintain the Premises. In the event that Tenant fails to commence such work within 30 days after written demand by Landlord, and diligently prosecute it to completion, then Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to do such acts and expend such funds at the expense of Tenant as are reasonably required to perform such work. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any reasonable damage, inconvenience or interference with Tenant's use of the Premises as a result of performing any such work.
(3) Landlord will maintain, repair and replace all structural components of the Premises and the roof of the Building, and if a repair, replacement or alteration or other change would be considered a capital improvement or replacement to the Premises under generally accepted accounting principles, then it shall be Landlord's responsibility to promptly make and pay for such repair, replacement, alteration or other change. The cost of any such capital improvement shall be amortized over the useful life of such item and Tenant agrees to pay its percentage share (which shall be determined by dividing the square footage of the Building by the square footage of all buildings benefitted by such improvement, including the Building) of the annual amortized amount. Such payment will be made by Tenant as set forth in Paragraph 4 above. Landlord shall do all acts required to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and rules of any public authority relating to the Premises, except to the extent that the foregoing are solely a result of Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant shall do all acts required to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and rules of any public authority relating solely to Tenant's use of the Premises. If a repair is required as a result of Tenant's negligence and such repair cost is not covered by insurance proceeds, Tenant will pay for the cost of such repair. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in the event that the need for repairs or the making of repairs (or both) which Landlord is obligated to effect at Landlord's expense renders a material portion of the Premises unusable for more than three consecutive business days, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent commencing with the fourth business day that the same are unusable; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to a pro rata abatement of rent under the foregoing due to unusability (i) caused directly or indirectly by any act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant's servants, employees, agents, contractors, visitors or licensees, (ii) where Tenant makes a decoration, alteration, improvement or addition which directly causes such unusability, or (iii) where the repair in question is one which Tenant is obligated to furnish under the provisions of this Lease.
Maintenance and Repair (a) Subject to Landlord’s limited obligations under subparagraph 6(a), by taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises as being in good order, condition and repair. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep the Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair, including without limitation, the maintenance, repair and replacement of any storefront, doors, window casements, glazing, plumbing, pipes, electrical wiring and conduits, and the heating and air conditioning (“HVAC”) system. Tenant shall obtain a service contract for repairs and maintenance of the HVAC system and shall provide to Landlord a copy of the service contract along with written details of any and all scheduled and other repairs and maintenance performed on the HVAC system within ten (10) days of the date of such performance. Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, surrender the Premises to Landlord in good condition, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear and damage subject to Paragraph 24 excepted. Except for damage subject to Paragraph 24, any damage caused by Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be repaired at the sole cost and expense of Tenant.
(b) Except as specifically provided in subparagraph 6(a) above, Tenant shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the Building, including the exterior walls and roof. Landlord shall not be liable for Tenant’s failure to make such repairs or to perform any maintenance. 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 Building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant waives any right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
(c) If Tenant refuses or neglects to repair or maintain the Premises, as required herein, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of any such refusal or neglect and Tenant shall repair any item mentioned in said notice within thirty (30) days thereafter. If Tenant has not made such repairs within the 30-day period, Landlord may make such repairs without liability to the Tenant for any loss or damage it may accrue to Tenant’s merchandise, fixtures or other property or to Tenant’s business by reason thereof and, upon completion thereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s costs for making such repairs upon presentation of a xxxx thereof. In the event Tenant does not pay such xxxx within ten (10) days of its receipt, such failure shall be an event of default hereunder, Landlord shall be entitled to utilize all of its remedies herein and such amount shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date of the notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant in good faith disputes Landlord’s claim that Tenant has failed to repair or maintain any aspect of the Premises, then if Landlord makes any repairs, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay for the repairs or any interest thereon until the dispute is finally determined; provided, that Tenant shall deposit the disputed amount with the Landlord until the dispute is resolved.
Maintenance Repairs and Alterations A. Except to the extent such obligations are imposed upon Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the interior of the Premises in good order, condition and repair throughout the entire Lease Term, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant agrees to keep the areas visible from outside the Premises in a neat, clean and attractive condition at all times. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written demand therefor, reimburse Landlord for the cost of all repairs, replacements and alterations (collectively, “Repairs”) in and to the Premises, Building and Property and the facilities and systems thereof, plus an administration charge often percent (10%) of such cost, the need for which Repairs arises out of (and provided Landlord has given prior written notice to Tenant of such need): (1) Tenant’s use of the Premises in contravention of the terms and conditions of this Lease, or Tenant’s failure to perform maintenance or repairs which are Tenant’s obligation hereunder, (2) the installation, removal, use or operation of Tenant’s Property, if undertaken by Landlord at Tenant’s request or by virtue of Tenant’s default in undertaking such obligations, (3) the moving of Tenant’s Property into or out of the Building, or (4) the act, omission, misuse or negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees or invitees.
B. Tenant shall not make or allow to be made any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises (collectively, “Alterations”), without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided however, Tenant shall have the right to perform, without Landlord’s consent, certain Alterations that do not cost in excess of $25,000.00 in the aggregate (at any one time), and do not affect any mechanical or electrical or life safety systems or plumbing in the Building, provided that advance notice has been given to Landlord in each instance. Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to remove at the end of the Lease Term any Alterations installed without the Landlord’s consent. Prior to commencing any such Alterations and as a condition to obtaining Landlord’s consent where necessary, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord plans and specifications acceptable to Landlord; names and addresses of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord; copies of contracts; necessary permits and approvals; evidence of contractor’s and subcontractor’s insurance in accordance with Section 13 hereof; and a payment bond or other security, all in form and amount satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible for insuring that all such persons procure and maintain insurance coverage against such risks, in such amounts and with such companies as Landlord may reasonably require. All Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner using Building standard materials or other new materials of equal or greater quality. Landlord, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid any disruption to the tenants and occupants of the Building, shall have the right to designate the time when any Alterations may be performed and to otherwise designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the performance of work in the Building. Upon completion of the Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord “as-built” plans, contractor’s affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all labor and materials. All Alterations shall comply with the insurance requirements and with applicable codes, ordinances, laws and regulations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all reasonable sums, if any, expended by Landlord for third party examination of the architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans for any Alterations. In addition, if Landlord so requests, Landlord shall be entitled to oversee the construction of any Alterations, and in such event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s actual out of pocket costs incurred in connection therewith, which may include the cost of management personnel working outside of Normal Business Hours. Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications for any Alterations performed for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed to be representation by Landlord that such plans and specifications comply with applicable insurance requirements, building codes, ordinances, laws or, regulations or that the Alterations constructed in accordance with such plans and specifications will be adequate for Tenant’s use.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, OR ALTERATIONS The Tenant shall, at their own expense and at all times, maintain premises in a clean and sanitary manner, and shall surrender the same at termination hereof, in as good condition as received, normal wear and tear excepted. The Tenant may not make any alterations to the leased premises without the consent in writing of the Landlord. The Landlord shall be responsible for repairs to the interior and exterior of the building. If the Premises includes a washer, dryer, freezer, dehumidifier unit and/or air conditioning unit, the Landlord makes no warranty as to the repair or replacement of units if one or all shall fail to operate. The Landlord will place fresh batteries in all battery-operated smoke detectors when the Tenant moves into the premises. After the initial placement of the fresh batteries it is the responsibility of the Tenant to replace batteries when needed. A monthly "cursory" inspection may be required for all fire extinguishers to make sure they are fully charged.
