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.

The County will ensure that alterations to County facilities are made in full compliance with the requirements of 28 C.F.R. § 35.151, including applicable architectural standards. The elements or features of the County's facilities that do not comply with the Standards, including those listed in Attachments I, J, K, and L, prevent persons with disabilities from fully and equally enjoying the County's services, programs, or activities and constitute discrimination on the basis of disability within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. § 12132 and 28 C.F.R. §§ 35.149 and 35.150. The County will comply with the cited provisions of the Standards when taking the actions required by this Agreement. Within three months of the effective date of this Agreement, the County will install signage as necessary to comply with 28 C.F.R. § 35.163(b), after having surveyed all facilities that are the subject of this Agreement for the purpose of identifying those that have multiple entrances not all of which are accessible. Newly Constructed Facilities: In order to ensure that the following spaces and elements in County facilities for which construction was commenced after January 26, 1992, are readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities, the County will take the actions listed in Attachments I and M. Altered Facilities: In order to ensure that the following spaces and elements in County facilities for which alterations commenced after January 26, 1992, are readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities, the County will take the actions listed in Attachments J and M. Program Access in Existing Facilities: In order to ensure that each of the County's programs, services, and activities operating at a facility that is the subject of this Agreement, when viewed in its entirety, is readily accessible to and usable by persons with mobility impairments, the County will take the actions listed in Attachments K and M. Facilities and Programs Not Surveyed by the Department: The County will review compliance with the requirements of Title II of the ADA for those County facilities and programs that were not reviewed by the Department. Within twelve months of the effective date of this Agreement, the County will submit for review by the Department a detailed report listing the access issues identified during its review together with the corrective actions and completion dates proposed to resolve such issues. The review conducted by the County, the access issues identified, and the corrective actions and completion dates proposed will be consistent with the requirements of title II of the ADA; the review of County facilities and programs conducted by the Department for purposes of this Agreement; and the access issues, corrective actions, and completion dates reflected in Attachments I, J, K, and M. PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS Access to Programs Housed in Others' Facilities: In order to ensure that the County's programs, services, and activities that are the subject of this Agreement and that are operated by the County at facilities owned or controlled by other entities, when viewed in its entirety, are readily accessible to and usable by persons with mobility impairments, the County will take the actions listed in Attachment L. PROGRAMS FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ABUSE If the County owns or operates any Domestic Violence Programs, within three months of the effective date of this Agreement, it will do the following: Whatever written information is provided regarding its Domestic Violence Programs will also be provided in alternate formats, including Braille, large print, audio recording, and electronic formats (e.g., HTML), upon request. Enter into contracts or make other arrangements with qualified sign language and oral interpreters to ensure their availability when required for effective communication with persons who are deaf or hard of hearing. The type of aid that will be required for effective communication will depend on the individual's usual method of communication, and the nature, importance, and duration of the communication at issue. In many circumstances, oral communication supplemented by gestures and visual aids, an exchange of written notes, use of a computer or typewriter, or use of an assistive listening device may be effective. In other circumstances, qualified sign language or oral interpreters are needed to communicate effectively with persons who are deaf or hard of hearing. The more lengthy, complex, and important the communication, the more likely it is that a qualified interpreter will be required for effective communication with a person whose primary means of communication is sign language or speech reading. If the County's Domestic Violence Programs operate a hotline to take telephone calls of an emergency nature, the County shall ensure that it provides equivalent service for persons who use TTY's, including providing direct-connection service for TTY users with hotline operators, without requiring TTY users to call through a third party operator, such as through the state or local Telecommunication Relay Services. The County will obtain the necessary equipment, establish the written procedures, and provide the training necessary to ensure effective communication by Hotline staff with direct-connection callers using TTY's, as well as the training necessary to respond to callers who use the Telecommunication Relay Services. Survey facilities used as shelters or designated as potential shelters – or for counseling, job training, education, clothing or household provisioning, or other aspects of Domestic Violence Programs – to ensure that adequate arrangements are available for potential clients and family members with disabilities, including adults and children who have mobility impairments, who are blind or have low vision, and who are deaf or hard of hearing. Within one year of the effective date of this Agreement, modify each such facility to remove the barriers or, alternatively, procure another, fully accessible facility to ensure that potential clients and family members with disabilities have integrated options when participating in a sheltering or other Domestic Violence program. Nothing in this Agreement requires any modifications that would compromise the confidentiality of a shelter or counseling center. Until there is a sufficient stock of accessible housing and other facilities within the sheltering program, the County will implement written procedures ensuring that it has identified temporary accessible housing (such as accessible hotel rooms within the community or in nearby communities) and other facilities that could be used if people with disabilities need sheltering or inservice access to a Domestic Violence Program. The cost to potential clients of being housed or otherwise served in alternate accessible facilities shall not exceed any costs normally attributed to clients of the County's Domestic Violence Programs. Implement written procedures and modify, as appropriate, eligibility criteria, to ensure that no person with a disability is turned away from a shelter or otherwise denied the opportunity to benefit from the services of the County's Domestic Violence Programs on the basis of disability. Implement written procedures to ensure that persons with disabilities who use service animals are not denied or discouraged from participating in Domestic Violence Programs, are able to be housed and served in an integrated environment, and are not separated from their service animals while participating in the County's Domestic Violence Programs even if pets are normally not permitted in the facilities where such programs are conducted. The procedures will not segregate persons who use service animals from others but may take into account the potential presence of persons who, for safety or health reasons, should not be in contact with certain types of animals. If the County's Domestic Violence Programs require clients to make any payments for shelter or other services they provide, clients shall not be required to make additional payments because they or their family members use service animals. Implement written procedures to ensure that reasonable modifications are made to the County's Domestic Violence Programs when necessary for a client or family member with a disability to participate in such Programs, unless doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of the program. Implement written policies to ensure that despite any "drug-free" policy of the County's Domestic Violence Programs, persons with disabilities who use medication prescribed for their use are able to continue using such medication while participating in such Programs or being housed in a shelter. If the County contracts with another entity to provide or operate programs that provide shelter, counseling, or other assistance or supportive services to victims of domestic violence or abuse and their families (hereafter referred to as "Domestic Violence Programs"), it will ensure that the other entity complies with the preceding provisions on its behalf. If that entity will not comply with the following provisions, the County will nonetheless take all necessary steps to ensure that its program is accessible to persons with disabilities. Some of the of the County's shelters may be owned or operated by other public entities subject to title II or by public accommodations subject to title III and, as such, are subject to the obligation to provide program access or remove barriers to accessibility under the ADA. This Agreement does not limit such future enforcement action against the owners or operators of these facilities by any person or entity, including the Department. This Agreement shall not be construed to require the County to divulge confidential information relating to the location or existence of any Domestic Violence Programs, beyond what is otherwise required by applicable law or what is necessary for the Department to effectively enforce this Agreement.
