SATELLITE DISH Subject to compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to place, from time to time, satellite dishes, antennae and other communication or transmission devices (such devices being referred to as the “Satellite Dishes”) on the roof of each of the Buildings. Additionally, Tenant shall have the right to install such wire, conduits, cables and other materials as necessary to connect the Satellite Dishes to Tenant’s allied machinery and equipment in the Premises (the Satellite Dishes and any such connecting material being collectively referred to as the “Satellite Dish Facilities”). However, prior to the installation of any Satellite Dish Facilities, Tenant, at its expense, shall be required to provide Landlord with a certification by a registered professional structural engineer that the structural system of the roof is adequate to support the superimposed loads produced by any Satellite Dishes at the location on the roof of such Satellite Dishes and Tenant, at its expense, shall be required to provide Landlord with satisfactory assurance that the existing construction materials of the roof (such as the roof membrane) shall be protected from the Satellite Dishes. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant, at its expense, may remove the Satellite Dish Facilities belonging to Tenant, but Tenant shall remove any Satellite Dish Facilities belonging to an unaffiliated third party. Any work required to restore the roof of any other part of the Buildings from any damage occasioned by the installation, maintenance or removal of the Satellite Dish Facilities shall be borne by Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from any costs, expenses, liabilities and the like, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, occasioned by any damage to property and injury or death to persons caused by such installation, maintenance or removal, except to the extent caused by the negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease of Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible for the installation of all Satellite Dish Facilities (including the attachment thereto to the roof) and for all costs and expenses arising from and relating to the Satellite Dish Facilities and the installation, operation, maintenance and repair thereof, and, if Tenant elects to remove the Satellite Dish Facilities, or for those Satellite Dish Facilities for which removal is required, for the removal thereof. The installation, maintenance and removal of the Satellite Dish Facilities shall be performed by contractors and workers first approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. However, Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to use Landlord’s roofing contractor in connection therewith if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the Landlord’s roof warranty may be affected by any such work. Landlord agrees that Tenant and engineering and maintenance personnel reasonably approved by Landlord shall have access to the Satellite Dish Facilities in order to install, operate, maintain, inspect and remove, as required, the Satellite Dish Facilities. Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with or impair the use, operation, maintenance or repair of the Satellite Dish Facilities. Tenant may sublease to unaffiliated third parties rooftop rights for the installation of Satellite Dish Facilities, without Landlord’s consent, but Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the existence of any such subleases from time to time upon Landlord’s request. All revenues derived from such third party subleases shall belong to Tenant. The Satellite Dish Facilities shall not be considered a part of the Premises for the purpose of determining Tenant’s rental obligations under the Lease and no Rent therefor shall be charged during the Term (including any renewal period specifically provided under this Lease). However, Tenant’s use of the Satellite Dish Facilities is otherwise subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease with respect to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, including, without limitation, Sections 9, 22 and 31.
Solicitations for Subcontracts, Including Procurements of Materials and Equipment In all solicitations either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by the Engineer for work to be performed under a subcontract, including procurements of materials or leases of equipment, each potential subcontractor or supplier shall be notified by the Engineer of the Engineer's obligations under this contract and the Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin.
Communications Equipment (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.5, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right, at its sole cost and expense and for Tenant’s use, to install, maintain and operate upon the roof of the Building one (1) or a reasonable and necessary additional number of transmitters and/or receiver antennas or dishes approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (collectively, the “Communications Equipment”) for use by Tenant in the conduct of its business; provided that such Communications Equipment may not materially compromise the aesthetics or appearance of the Building nor shall Landlord be required to incur any expense in accommodating the Communications Equipment. The Communications Equipment must be (i) designed, installed and operated in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) installed and operated so as not to adversely affect or impact structural, mechanical, electrical, elevator, or other systems serving the Building or customary telephone service for the Building and so as not to cause injury to persons or property, and without limitation of the foregoing, so as not to void or impair any applicable roof warranty. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Communications Equipment and repair any damage to the Building caused by the installation, maintenance, use or removal of the Communications Equipment.
(b) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right to install (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) any additional equipment required to operate the Communications Equipment and to connect the Communications Equipment to Tenant’s other machinery and equipment located in the Leased Premises (e.g., conduits and cables) in the shafts, ducts, chases and utility closets located in the core of the building (“Additional Equipment”), which Additional Equipment shall be deemed a part of the Communications Equipment for all purposes of this Section 3.5; provided that (i) the use of such space in the Building core by Tenant (except customary chases for cabling) may not materially adversely affect the marketability of the remaining space on any floor of the Building, and (ii) to the extent any such Additional Equipment occupies space (other than space in customary chases for the Building) that would have otherwise been Net Rentable Area on a floor of the Building, such space shall be included within the Net Rentable Area of the Leased Premises and Tenant shall be obligated to pay Annual Basic Rent and Additional Rent with respect to such space as if such space was included in the Leased Premises. Tenant’s use of such space in the Building core shall be subject to the provisions of this Lease relating to Tenant’s use of Common Areas of the Building.
(c) Subject to the Building Rules and other reasonable rules relating to Building security and safety that may be promulgated by Landlord pertaining to access by tenants to the roof of the Building and provided Tenant does not unreasonably disturb any other tenants of the Building, Tenant and Tenant’s contractors shall have reasonable access to the Communications Equipment and the Additional Equipment for purposes of operating, servicing, repairing or otherwise maintaining said equipment.
(d) Nothing contained in this Section 3.5 shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict any other individual or entity, including Landlord or any other tenant of the Building, from installing communications equipment on the roof of the Building or to use the roof for any other purpose.
(e) In connection with its installation, repair, maintenance and removal of any Communications Equipment and Additional Equipment, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall comply with all applicable Building Rules and Legal Requirements and repair any damage to the Building caused by such installation, repair, maintenance or removal. In the event that the placement of Tenant’s Communications Equipment or Additional Equipment interferes with Landlord’s performance of any repair or maintenance to the Common Areas, including the roofs of the Buildings, any costs incurred by Landlord to temporarily or permanently relocate and reinstall Tenant’s Communications Equipment or Additional Equipment shall be included in the cost of such repair or maintenance as a Operating Expense.
(f) Tenant’s Communications Equipment and Additional Equipment existing as of the Commencement Date are hereby deemed to be approved by Landlord. Any changes to the existing Communications Equipment and/or Additional Equipment by Tenant shall first be approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(g) If Landlord shall place on the roof of any Building communications equipment of its own, or shall grant to any third party the right to locate and maintain any such equipment, all such equipment shall be located, designed and operated so as not to interfere with signals to and from Tenant’s Communications Equipment and Additional Equipment, the installation of which, in accordance with this Section 3.5, predates the installation of such other equipment. Similarly, any Communications Equipment and Additional Equipment hereafter installed by Tenant shall be located and designed so as not to interfere with signals to and from such other equipment belonging to Landlord or to third parties, that may have previously been installed. The party responsible for the communications equipment which interferes with equipment previously installed by others shall be required, at its or their expense, to take all measures necessary to eliminate the source of interference caused by such party’s equipment.
