LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS (a) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Landlord contained in Sections 20.2 and 20.3 above, if Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions to be performed or complied with by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, then Landlord may at Landlord’s option, without any obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant perform any such term, provision, covenant, or condition, or make any such payment and Landlord by reason of so doing shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage thereby sustained by Tenant or anyone holding under or through Tenant or any of Tenant’s Agents.
(b) Without limiting the rights of Landlord under Sections 20.2 and 20.3 above, Landlord shall have the right at Landlord’s option, without any obligation to do so, to perform any of Tenant’s covenants or obligations under this Lease without notice to Tenant in the case of an emergency, as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute judgment, or if Landlord determines, in its sole and absolute judgment, that such action is necessary or desirable to avoid imminent harm to the Premises or any persons.
(c) If Landlord performs any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder in accordance with this Section 20.4, the full amount of the cost and expense incurred or the payment so made or the amount of the loss so sustained shall immediately be owing by Tenant to Landlord, and Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord upon demand, as Additional Charges, the full amount thereof with interest thereon from the date of payment by Landlord at the lower of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
Landlord’s Right to Perform Tenant’s Covenants Tenant covenants and agrees that, if it shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, then Landlord, in its sole discretion may after due notice to, or demand upon, Tenant and subject to the limitations set forth below, make any payment or perform any other act on the part of Tenant to be made and performed as in this Lease provided, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable, and in exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses, employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. The making of any such payment or the performing of any other act by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall not waive, or release Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonably necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord shall, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, be payable to Landlord on demand, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums promptly, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the Base Rent. Whenever practicable, Landlord, before proceeding as provided in this Section 12.4, shall give Tenant notice in writing of the failure of Tenant which Landlord proposes to remedy, and shall allow Tenant such length of time as may be reasonable in the circumstances, consistent with any grace periods contained herein, but not exceeding 30 days from the giving of notice, to remedy the failure itself and, if Tenant shall not remedy the failure in the time so allowed, Landlord shall be deemed to have given “due notice” and may proceed as provided in this Section 12.4; provided that nothing in this Section shall prevent Landlord from acting without notice to Tenant in case of any emergency wherein there is danger to property or person or where there may exist any violation of legal requirements including but not limited to the presence of Hazardous Materials, in which event no notice shall be required.
Performance by Landlord If Tenant fails to perform any obligation required under this Lease or by law or governmental regulation, Landlord in its sole discretion may, after ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant, without waiving any rights or remedies and without releasing Tenant from its obligations hereunder, perform such obligation, in which event Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rent all sums paid by Landlord in connection with such substitute performance, including interest at the Agreed Interest Rate (as defined in Section 19.J) within ten (10) days of Landlord's written notice for such payment.
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.
Tenant's Obligation Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term and at its sole cost and expense, regularly clean and continuously keep and maintain in good order, condition and repair the Leased Premises and every part thereof and all appurtenances thereto, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) all interior walls, floors and ceilings, (ii) all windows, doors and skylights, (iii) all electrical wiring, conduits, connectors and fixtures, (iv) all plumbing, pipes, sinks, toilets, faucets and drains, (v) all lighting fixtures, bulbs and lamps, (vi) all heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment located within the Leased Premises or located outside the Leased Premises (e.g. rooftop compressors) and serving the Leased Premises and (vii) all entranceways to the Leased Premises. Tenant, if requested to do so by Landlord, shall hire, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a licensed heating, ventilating and air conditioning contractor to regularly, and periodically inspect (not less frequently than every three months) and perform required maintenance on the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and systems serving the Leased Premises, or alternatively, Landlord may, at its election, contract in its own name for such regular and periodic inspections of and maintenance on such heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and systems and charge to Tenant, as Additional Rent, the cost thereof. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair all damage to the Building, the Common Areas or the Project caused by the activities of Tenant, its employees, invitees or contractors promptly following written notice from Landlord to so repair such damage. If Tenant shall fail to perform the required maintenance or fail to make repairs required of it pursuant to this Article within a reasonable period of time following notice from Landlord to do so, then Landlord may, at its election and without waiving any other remedy it may otherwise have under this Lease or at Law, perform such maintenance or make such repairs and charge to Tenant, as Additional Rent, the costs so incurred by Landlord for same. All glass within or a part of the Leased Premises, both interior and exterior, is at the sole risk of Tenant and any broken glass shall promptly be replaced by Tenant at Tenant's expense with glass of the same kind, size and quality.
ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES (a) In the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage or (ii) Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible, the Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, payable by Lessee hereunder for the period during which such damage or condition, its repair, remediation or restoration continues, shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not in excess of proceeds from insurance required to be carried under Paragraph 8.3(b). Except for abatement of Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair, remediation or restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the Premises within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. "Commence" as used in this Paragraph 9.6 shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever occurs first.
LANDLORD'S SERVICES 6.01. Landlord shall:
(a) maintain in reasonable condition and repair the roof, foundation, structure, infrastructure, utilities, HVAC, other Building operating systems, exterior and common areas of the Building;
(b) furnish reasonable amounts of heat and air-conditioning (.HVAC.) to the Demised Premises from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday except holidays, and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. upon request. After hours HVAC shall be provided by Landlord upon request of Tenant, so long as all costs of providing such after hours service, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, are borne by Tenant. Irrespective of the foregoing, as to each whole floor occupied by Tenant, in lieu of Saturday HVAC hours, Tenant shall be provided with three hundred (300) free hours of HVAC service per year (pro rated for the first and last lease years) at such times as Tenant may request; however, there shall be no carry over of any unused free hours from one calendar year to the next. Chilled fluid lines shall be available in the Building to permit Tenant to obtain supplemental air conditioning on a twenty-four (24) hour basis, but Tenant shall be responsible for all installation and energy costs associated therewith;
(c) provide sufficient elevator service for reasonable access to the Demised Premises;
(d) furnish reasonable janitorial services for the Demised Premises;
(e) furnish a reasonable amount of electricity for normal office use in the Demised Premises; however, Landlord's agreement to furnish electricity does not include electricity for electrical equipment requiring voltage greater than that supplied by the Building's standard receptacle circuits unless Landlord's prior written consent is obtained, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld so long as Tenant is responsible for all costs of installation and which consent shall be deemed to have been granted if such requirement is contained in Exhibits! C or C-l of this Lease;
(f) furnish in the first floor lobby of the Building a directory of the firm or business names of tenants of the Building: and
(g) provide access to hookups to any public or private right-of-ways adjacent to the Land for utilities or other communications systems available to Landlord or Tenant and accessible by Tenant by air or underground at Tenant's sole cost and expense
6.02. If Landlord defaults in the performance or observance of any provision of Paragraph 6.01 (except to the extent permitted under Paragraph 6.04), Tenant shall give Landlord notice specifying in what manner Landlord has defaulted and if such default shall not be cured by Landlord within the period of time provided for elsewhere in this Lease, and otherwise within thirty (30) consecutive days after the delivery of such notice (except that if such default cannot be cured within said thirty (30) day period, this period shall be extended for a reasonable additional time, provided that Landlord commences to cure such default within the thirty (30) day period and proceeds diligently thereafter to effect such cure), Tenant may terminate this Lease or pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity to Tenant; provided, however, that if the Demised Premises is not supplied with utilities required pursuant to the terms of this Lease due to circumstances within the control of Landlord for a period in excess of 24 hours after of receipt by Landlord of Tenant's verbal notice of such failure, Tenant may terminate this Lease or pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity. No such termination shall relieve Landlord of its obligations under the Lease, and such obligations shall survive any such termination. No action on the part of Tenant shall limit or prejudice the right of Tenant to obtain the maximum amount of damages allowed by any statute or rule of law related to any such default by Landlord.
6.03. If, in Landlord's opinion, any Tenant shall:
(a) use any utility, including but not limited to electricity or water, in an excessive, extravagant or unreasonable manner, Landlord may install meters measuring the quantity of such utility used in the Demised Premises and Tenant, on demand, shall pay Landlord (i) all costs incident to said installation and necessary appurtenances thereto and (ii) additional rent equal to the cost of the utility used at rates equal to the rate that the supplying utility company with its own equipment would then charge Tenant for such service. If this method of furnishing utilities to Tenant is utilized, an adjustment will be made to Operating Expenses under Section 5.02 to reflect Tenant's payment of its own utilities in such a manner as to avoid requiring Tenant to pay more than the excess utilities and its ratable share of normal utilities usage included in Operating Expenses; and
(b) require removal of refuse and rubbish in larger quantities or more often than is reasonable in the rendering of janitorial service, Tenant on demand shall pay the removal cost to Landlord.
(c) No action will be taken by Landlord under Section 6.03(a) or 6.03
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.
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:
(a) Effective on the first day after the 5th consecutive day following such Malfunction or Service Failure, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of Base Rental and Additional Rental commensurate to that portion of the Premises rendered Untenantable by the Malfunction or Service Failure calculated on a per square foot basis and ending at the time the Premises are again suitable for use by Tenant for its intended purposes.
TENANT'S INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD Tenant shall indemnify, ------------------------------------ protect, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord's authorized representatives harmless from and against Claims arising from (a) the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant's Representatives or Visitors in or about the Property, or (b) any construction or other work undertaken by Tenant on the Premises (including any design defects), or (c) any breach or default under this Lease by Tenant, or (d) any loss, injury or damage, howsoever and by whomsoever caused, to any person or property, occurring in or about the Premises during the Term, excepting only Claims described in this clause (d) to the extent they are caused by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or its authorized representatives.
