Tenant’s maintenance, repair and replacement responsibilities herein referred to include, but are not limited to, janitorization, all windows (interior and exterior), window frames, plate glass and glazing (destroyed by accident or act of third parties), truck doors, plumbing systems (such as water and drain lines, sinks, toilets, faucets, drains, showers and water fountains), electrical systems (such as panels, conduits, outlets, lighting fixtures, lamps, bulbs, tubes and ballasts), heating and air conditioning systems (such as compressors, fans, air handlers, ducts, mixing boxes, thermostats, time clocks, boilers, heaters, supply and return grills), structural elements and exterior surfaces of the Building, store fronts, roofs, downspouts, all interior improvements within the Premises including but not limited to wall coverings, window coverings, carpet, floor coverings, partitioning, ceilings, doors (both interior and exterior), including closing mechanisms, latches and locks, skylights (if any), automatic fire extinguishing systems, and elevators and all other interior improvements of any nature whatsoever, and all exterior improvements including but not limited to landscaping, sidewalks, driveways, parking lots including striping and sealing, sprinkler systems, lighting, ponds, fountains, waterways, and drains. Tenant shall be required to have the HVAC system serviced by a licensed HVAC contractor (approved by Landlord) at the earlier frequency of (a) the periodic servicing recommended by the manufacturer of such equipment in its written maintenance specifications or (b) semiannually throughout the Term of the Lease, and shall submit to Landlord copies of all related service reports within thirty (30) days of receipt and any repairs reports if requested by Landlord. Furthermore, Tenant shall inform Landlord in writing of the periodic service recommendations by the respective manufacturer within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of such information. Areas of excessive wear shall be replaced at Tenant’s sole expense upon Lease termination. Tenant hereby waives all rights under, and benefits of, Subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Section 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code and under any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Tenant understands and acknowledges that this Lease shall be deemed and construed to be a “triple net lease” and during the Initial Term, and any Extended Term(s), of this Lease Tenant shall pay Landlord, the Rent and other payments due hereunder, free of any charges, assessments, impositions, expenses or deductions of any kind and without abatement, deduction or setoff unless otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, and Landlord shall not be expected or required as a result of the relationship between Landlord and Tenant created by this Lease, to be obligated to make any payment to or on behalf of Tenant or be under any other obligation to Tenant hereunder except to the extent specifically provided in this Lease, and Tenant agrees to pay all costs and expenses of every kind which may arise or become due from Tenant under the provisions of this Lease during the Initial Term and any Extended Term(s). Except as expressly provided in this Lease or the Construction Agreement, Landlord shall not be liable and/or responsible under the provisions of this Lease for contributing any money for any maintenance, repairs and/or replacement of the Premises or any part thereof and as to the maintenance, repairs or replacement obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant waives any and all rights it might otherwise have to assert that such expenditure is more appropriately a Landlord expenditure which should be treated as a capital expenditure and/or to be amortized as an item of Additional Rent hereunder. For example, if during the Lease Term (including any Extended Term(s)), a portion or the entire roof membrane and/or HVAC system needs to be repaired or replaced, such expenditure shall not be treated as a capital expenditure to be borne by Landlord, but rather Tenant shall be responsible, upon such occurrence, for bearing the entire cost for such repair and/or replacement.
