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.

(h) With respect to the Tenant named herein only, provide at the existing security/concierge desk in the lobby of the Building during all hours other than Business Hours of Business Days personnel to carry out such security procedures as are set forth in Exhibit P hereof and to implement other security measures as Landlord shall from time to time adopt (after consultation with Tenant, but without any obligation to obtain Tenant’s agreement or approval). Notwithstanding that Landlord shall agree to instruct its employees to follow such security procedures as set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall in no way be responsible for any violation of such procedures or circumvention of such Procedures as may occur from time to time at the Building and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss, injury or damage to Tenant or to any other person as may result from violations or circumventions of the security procedures instituted at the Building as described in this subsection 15.01(h).

15.03. Landlord reserves the right to interrupt, curtail or suspend the services required to be furnished by Landlord under this Article 15 when the necessity therefor arises by reason of accident, emergency, mechanical breakdown, or when required by any law, order or regulation of any Federal, state, county or municipal authority, or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Except in case of an emergency, Landlord will notify Tenant in advance of any such stoppage, and if ascertainable, its estimated duration. Landlord shall complete all required repairs or other necessary work in accordance with the standards set forth in subsection 13.01(b). Except as set forth in Section 13.03 hereof and subject to the provision of Section 27.03 hereof, no diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation shall or will be claimed by Tenant as a result therefrom, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant be affected or reduced by reason of such interruption, curtailment or suspension.
(a) If Tenant shall require heat or air-conditioning services at any time other than as furnished by Landlord in accordance with subsection 15.01(c) hereof, then, if Tenant shall give notice in writing to the Building superintendent prior to 4:00 P.M. in the case of services required on weekdays, prior to 4:00 P.M. on the Friday prior in the case of after hours service recurred on weekends or on holiday Mondays or prior to 4:00 P.M. on the day prior in the case of after hours service recurred on other holidays or weekends following Fridays which are holidays, Landlord shall furnish such service and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand as Additional Charges hereunder Landlord’s then established charges therefor. As of the date hereof, Landlord’s standard rate charged to other tenants in the Building is $600.00 per floor per hour and, except as otherwise provided below in this subsection 15.04(a), requires a four (4) hour minimum and a four (4) floor minimum. Such charge shall be subject to increase in proportion to increases in Landlord’s actual costs to provide same provided however if Landlord charges a future tenant in the Building a lesser rate for the overtime heat or air-conditioning services, then provided Tenant shall agree to be obligated to utilize the same or more overtime heat or air-conditioning services utilized by such future tenant, such charge charged to Tenant shall then and thereafter be reduced to such lesser charge charged to such future tenant. If any other tenant or tenants of the Building in the same zone as Tenant request overtime air-conditioning or heating for any period for which Tenant has requested such service pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 15.04(a), then the Landlord’s charge for overtime HVAC, as set forth above, shall be prorated among Tenant and such other tenant or tenants, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, any request for overtime HVAC service to commence at 6:00 P.M. on any Business Day shall not require or be subject to a “minimum” with respect to hours, but shall still require a four (4) floor minimum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be entitled to receive overtime HVAC without being required to pay any Additional Charges therefor on up to twelve (12) occasions (each such occasion being of a duration of four (4) hours and applying with respect to four (4) floors in the Premises) during each calendar year to occur during the term of this Lease (prorated on the basis of one (1) such occasion per month with respect to any partial calendar year to occur during the term of this Lease).
