Telephone Service Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary:
(a) So long as the entirety of the Leased Premises is leased to Tenant:
(i) Landlord shall have no responsibility for providing to Tenant any telephone equipment, including wiring, within the Leased Premises or for providing telephone service or connections from the utility to the Leased Premises; and
(ii) Landlord makes no warranty as to the quality, continuity or availability of the telecommunications services in the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, and Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for any actual or consequential damages (including damages for loss of business) in the event Tenant’s telecommunications services in any way are interrupted, damaged or rendered less effective, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Party. Tenant accepts the telephone equipment (including, without limitation, the INC, as defined below) in its “AS-IS” condition, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for contracting with a reliable third party vendor to assume responsibility for the maintenance and repair thereof (which contract shall contain provisions requiring such vendor to inspect the INC periodically (the frequency of such inspections to be determined by such vendor based on its experience and professional judgment), and requiring such vendor to meet local and federal requirements for telecommunications material and workmanship). Unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Party, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord whatsoever, whether for personal injury, property damage, loss of use of the Leased Premises, or otherwise, due to the interruption or failure of telephone services to the Leased Premises. Tenant hereby holds Landlord harmless and agrees to indemnify, protect and defend Landlord from and against any liability for any damage, loss or expense due to any failure or interruption of telephone service to the Leased Premises for any reason other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Party.
(b) At such time as the entirety of the Leased Premises is no longer leased to Tenant, Landlord shall in its sole discretion have the right, by written notice to Tenant, to elect to assume limited responsibility for INC, as provided below, and upon such assumption of responsibility by Landlord, this subparagraph (b) shall apply prospectively.
(i) Landlord shall provide Tenant access to all quantity of pairs in the Building intra-building network cable (“INC”). Tenant’s access to the INC shall be solely by arrangements made by Tenant, as Tenant may elect, directly with Pacific Bxxx or Landlord (or such vendor as Landlord may designate), and Tenant shall pay all reasonable charges as may be imposed in connection therewith. Pacific Bxxx’x charges shall be deemed to be reasonable. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord shall have no responsibility for providing to Tenant any telephone equipment, including wiring, within the Leased Premises or for providing telephone service or connections from the utility to the Leased Premises, except as required by law.
(ii) Except as permitted in this Lease, Tenant shall not alter, modify, add to or disturb any telephone wiring in the Leased Premises without the Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to the telephone wiring in the Leased Premises due to the act, negligent or otherwise, of Tenant or any employee, contractor or other agent of Tenant. Tenant shall have access to the telephone closets within the Building in the manner and under such reasonable procedures established by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any actual or suspected failure of telephone service to the Leased Premises.
(iii) All costs incurred by Landlord for the installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of telephone wiring in the Leased Premises shall be a Property Maintenance Cost, provided that, if any such cost is deemed a capital expenditure in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, it shall be amortized over the useful life of the improvement as described elsewhere in this Lease.
(iv) Landlord makes no warranty as to the quality, continuity or availability of the telecommunications services in the Leased Premises, and Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for any actual or consequential damages (including damages for loss of business) in the event Tenant’s telecommunications services in any way are interrupted, damaged or rendered less effective, except to the extent caused by the grossly negligent or willful act or omission by Landlord or any Landlord Related Party. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord meets its duty of care to Tenant with respect to the INC by contracting with a reliable third party vendor to assume responsibility for the maintenance and repair thereof (which contract shall contain provisions requiring such vendor to inspect the INC periodically (the frequency of such inspections to be determined by such vendor based on its experience and professional judgment), and requiring such vendor to meet local and federal requirements for telecommunications material and workmanship). Subject to the foregoing, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Party, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord whatsoever, whether for personal injury, property damage, loss of use of the Leased Premises, or otherwise, due to the interruption or failure of telephone services to the Leased Premises. Tenant hereby holds Landlord harmless and agrees to indemnify, protect and defend Landlord from and against any liability for any damage, loss or expense due to any failure or interruption of telephone service to the Leased Premises for any reason other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Party.
Telephone Services All telegraph, telephone, and communication connections which Tenant may desire outside the Premises shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in Landlord’s sole discretion, and the location of all wires and the work in connection therewith shall be performed by contractors approved by Landlord and shall be subject to the direction of Landlord, except that such approval is not required as to Tenant’s cabling from the Premises in a route designated by Landlord to any telephone cabinet or panel provided for Tenant’s connection to the telephone cable serving the Building, so long as Tenant’s equipment does not require connections different than or additional to those to the telephone cabinet or panel provided. As to any such connections or work outside the Premises requiring Landlord’s approval, Landlord reserves the right to designate and control the entity or entities providing telephone or other communication cable installation, removal, repair and maintenance outside the Premises and to restrict and control access to telephone cabinets or panels. In the event Landlord designates a particular vendor or vendors to provide such cable installation, removal, repair and maintenance for the Building, Tenant agrees to abide by and participate in such program. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay all costs incurred in connection with the installation of telephone cables and communication wiring in the Premises, including any hook-up, access and maintenance fees related to the installation of such wires and cables in the Premises and the commencement of service therein, and the maintenance thereafter of such wire and cables; and there shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Building all installation, removal, hook-up or maintenance costs incurred by Landlord in connection with telephone cables and communication wiring serving the Building which are not allocable to any individual users of such service but are allocable to the Building generally. If Tenant fails to maintain all telephone cables and communication wiring in the Premises and such failure affects or interferes with the operation or maintenance of any other telephone cables or communication wiring serving the Building, Landlord or any vendor hired by Landlord may enter into and upon the Premises forthwith and perform such repairs, restorations or alterations as Landlord deems necessary in order to eliminate any such interference (and Landlord may recover from Tenant all of Landlord’s costs in connection therewith). No later than the Termination Date, Tenant agrees to remove all telephone cables and communication wiring installed by Tenant for and during Tenant’s occupancy, which Landlord shall request Tenant to remove. Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any of its agents or employees shall be liable to Tenant, or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, customers or invitees or anyone claiming through, by or under Tenant, for any damages, injuries, losses, expenses, claims or causes of action because of any interruption, diminution, delay or discontinuance at any time for any reason in the furnishing of any telephone or other communication service to the Premises and the Building.

Processing of a Grievance It is recognized and accepted by the Union and the Employer that the processing of grievances as hereinafter provided is limited by the job duties and responsibilities of the employees and shall therefore be accomplished during normal working hours only when consistent with such employee duties and responsibilities. The aggrieved employee and a Union representative shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time without loss of pay when a grievance is investigated and presented to the Employer during normal working hours provided that the employee and the Union representative have notified and received the approval of the designated supervisor who has determined that such absence is reasonable and would not be detrimental to the work programs of the Employer.
