Building Directory A directory for the Building will be provided for the display of the name and location of tenants. Landlord reserves the right to approve any additional names Tenant desires to place in the directory and, if so approved, Landlord may assess a reasonable charge for adding such additional names.
Alterations to Premises Tenant shall make no structural or interior alterations to the Premises. If Tenant requests such alterations and such alterations are structural in nature, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with a complete set of construction drawings. If Landlord consents to the alterations, then the Landlord shall determine the actual cost of the work to be done. Tenant may then either agree to pay Landlord to have the work done or withdraw its request for alterations; provided, however, that at Tenant’s request, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to allowing Tenant and/or Tenant’s contractors to perform such work. All such alterations are subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, and notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord agrees to allow Tenant to construct (i) a data center within the Premises and to install equipment (which may include generator, condensers, UPS, etc.) in the Building and around the land surrounding the Building necessary to facilitate the operation of Tenant’s data center, and (ii) an opening in the curtain wall of Floor 1 of Building C, to install two (2) four foot doors within such opening, to improve the outside area for delivery access and to install other improvements (which may include a large dumpster) to the Building and the land surrounding the Building necessary to facilitate the operation of Tenant’s Fulfillment Center. All such alterations shall be performed by Tenant’s contractors (which shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the above paragraph, Tenant shall have the right to make nonstructural and nonsystems related alterations (“Tenant Alterations”) up to a value of $15,000.00 per occurrence (not to exceed $60,000 during any 12-month period) without Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord of its intent to make the Tenant Alterations. Such notice shall include a copy of plans and specifications (if such alterations are of a character that would reasonably require plans and specifications) and copies of all permits, if required by the appropriate municipality, and any contracts for such Tenant Alterations. All Tenant Alterations shall be performed by contractors approved by Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in accordance with all applicable laws and the rules and regulations described in Section 12b.
Tenant’s Plans Tenant shall be solely responsible for the preparation of the final architectural, electrical and mechanical construction drawings, plans and specifications (called “Tenant’s Plans”) necessary to construct the Relocation Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, which plans shall be submitted to Landlord for approval by Landlord’s architect and engineers on or before June 1, 2012, and Tenant’s Plans shall comply with their requirements to avoid aesthetic or other conflicts with the design and function of the balance of the Building. Landlord’s architect and engineers shall respond to any plan submission by Tenant within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt thereof. In the event Landlord’s architect’s or engineers’ approval of Tenant’s Plans is withheld or conditioned (and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned), Landlord shall send written notification thereof to Tenant and include a reasonably detailed statement identifying the reasons for such refusal or condition, and Tenant shall have the plans revised by its architect to incorporate all reasonable objections and conditions presented by Landlord and shall resubmit such plans to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of disapproval. Such process shall be followed until the plans shall have been approved by the Landlord’s architect and engineer without unreasonable objection or condition, except that after the initial five-(5)-Business-day period, any further submissions/resubmissions shall be made within three (3) Business Days. If Landlord fails to respond to submitted plans within the applicable period set forth above, then the September 10, 2012, date set forth in the table incorporated in Section III.A below shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day that any such failure continues. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Relocation Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment), and Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the timely preparation and submission of all such Tenant Plans and for all elements of the design of such Tenant’s Plans and for all costs related thereto. (The word “architect” as used in this Section II (C) shall include an interior designer or space planner.)
Tenant’s Repairs Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly make all repairs and replacements of every kind and nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, which may be required to be made upon or in connection with the Premises. Landlord shall not be required to make any repair, whether foreseen or unforeseen, or to maintain any of the Premises in any way. Any repair or replacement shall be performed at the Tenant's expense by contractors approved by Landlord, or at Landlord's option, by Landlord. Such repair and replacements include capital expenditures and repairs whose benefit extend beyond the Lease Term. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and other mechanical and building systems serving the Premises shall be maintained at Tenant's expense pursuant to maintenance service contracts entered into by Tenant. The scope of services and contractors under such maintenance contracts shall be reasonably approved by Landlord. If Tenant fails to perform any repair or replacement for which it is responsible, Landlord may perform such work and be reimbursed by Tenant within ten (10) days after demand therefor. Subject to the Restoration and Condemnation Paragraphs, Tenant shall bear the full cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Premises that results from damage caused by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees and any repair that benefits only the Premises. If any present or future improvements to the Premises are made or authorized to be made by Tenant, its agents or employees, and such improvements shall encroach upon any property or street adjacent to the Premises, or shall violate any agreement or condition contained in any restrictive covenant affecting or applicable to the Premises, or shall impair the rights of others under any easement or right-of-way to which the Premises are subject, then upon request of Landlord, Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall take such action as shall be necessary to remove such encroachments or end such violation or impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to remove any such encroachments if Tenant has or obtains such easements, licenses or similar rights as may be necessary to permit such encroachments to remain.
Common Areas Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the Rules and Regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas.” The term “Project Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project designated as such by Landlord or areas within the Project that the occupants of the Building are permitted to utilize pursuant to a recorded declaration and which areas shall be maintained in accordance with the declaration. The term “Building Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to the Rules and Regulations as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas, provided that, in connection therewith, Landlord shall perform such closures, alterations, additions or changes in a commercially reasonable manner and, in connection therewith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any material interference with Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises.
Common Area Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and such rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time reasonably prescribe, Tenant and Tenant’s employees, invitees and customers shall, in common with other occupants of the Parcel, and their respective employees, invitees and customers, and others entitled to the use thereof, have the non-exclusive right to use the access roads, parking areas and facilities provided and designated by Landlord for the general use and convenience of the occupants of the Parcel, which areas and facilities are referred to herein as “Common Area.” This right shall terminate upon the termination of this Lease. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make changes in the shape, size, location, amount and extent of the Common Area; provided that no such changes shall prevent or materially diminish or adversely affect Tenant’s ability to have access to and use of the Premises or Tenant’s allocation of parking spaces. Landlord further reserves the right to promulgate such rules and regulations relating to the use of the Common Area, and any part or parts thereof, as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate for the best interest of the occupants of the Building. The rules and regulations shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant, and Tenant shall abide by them and cooperate in their observance. Such rules and regulations may be reasonably amended by Landlord from time to time, with advance notice, and all amendments shall be effective upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant. Tenant shall have the exclusive use of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the parking spaces in the Common Area on a “first-come, first served” basis at no cost to Tenant during the Term or any extension or renewal of the Term. Tenant shall not at any time park or permit the parking of Tenant’s trucks or other vehicles, or the trucks or other vehicles of others, adjacent to loading areas so as to interfere in any way with the use of such areas, nor shall Tenant at any time park or permit the parking of Tenant’s vehicles or trucks, or the vehicles or trucks of Tenant’s suppliers or others, in any portion of the Common Area not designated by Landlord for such use by Tenant. Tenant shall not abandon any inoperative vehicles or equipment on any portion of the Common Area. Tenant shall make no alterations, improvements or additions to the Common Area without prior written approval of Landlord. Landlord shall at all times operate, manage, insure, maintain and repair the Common Area in good order, condition and repair. The manner in which the Common Area shall be maintained and the expenditures for such maintenance shall be at the unfettered discretion of Landlord. Except as excluded herein or in Addendum One, the cost of such repair, maintenance, operation, insurance and management, including without limitation, maintenance and repair of landscaping, irrigation systems, paving, sidewalks, fences, and lighting, shall be a Common Area Charge and Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such costs as provided in Paragraph 12 below.
Landlord’s Repairs Landlord, as an Operating Expense, shall maintain all of the structural, exterior, parking and other Common Areas of the Project, including HVAC, plumbing, fire sprinklers, elevators and all other building systems serving the Premises and other portions of the Project (“Building Systems”), in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages caused by Tenant, or by any of Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) excluded. Losses and damages caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party shall be repaired by Landlord, to the extent not covered by insurance, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord reserves the right to stop Building Systems services when necessary (i) by reason of accident or emergency, or (ii) for planned repairs, alterations or improvements, which are, in the judgment of Landlord, desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply Building Systems services during any such period of interruption; provided, however, that Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, make a commercially reasonable effort to give Tenant 24 hours advance notice of any planned stoppage of Building Systems services for routine maintenance, repairs, alterations or improvements. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Section, after which Landlord shall make a commercially reasonable effort to effect such repair. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after Tenant’s written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance. Tenant waives its rights under any state or local law to terminate this Lease or to make such repairs at Landlord’s expense and agrees that the parties’ respective rights with respect to such matters shall be solely as set forth herein. Repairs required as the result of fire, earthquake, flood, vandalism, war, or similar cause of damage or destruction shall be controlled by Section 18.
Landlord Repairs The services described in Section 4.01 (“Building Services”) and any repairs and maintenance required of Landlord may be curtailed or interrupted as required by any Applicable Laws or because of the maintenance, repair, replacement, or improvement of the equipment involved in furnishing such services or because of changes of the suppliers of services or because of labor controversies, accidents, acts of God, or the elements or any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. Landlord agrees to attempt in good faith to resume any curtailed or interrupted Building Services that Landlord is obligated hereunder to provide after receipt of notice from Tenant advising Landlord of the affected services. Landlord shall not be required to make any improvements, replacements, or repairs of any kind or character to the Leased Premises during the Term of this Lease except as are set forth in this section. Landlord shall maintain only the electrical service to the Leased Premises, down spouts, fire sprinkler system, lawn and landscaping, paint on the exterior of the Leased Premises, exterior doors, roof, foundation, parking, sidewalk and drive areas, and the structural soundness of the exterior walls (excluding windows, window glass, plate glass, and doors), except for damages caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, guests, and invitees, which damage shall be repaired at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and which will constitute Additional Rent due hereunder upon demand by Landlord therefor. Landlord’s costs of maintaining the items set forth in this section (save and except for Landlord’s cost of maintaining the structural soundness, the roof, foundation, the exterior walls (excluding windows, window glass, and plate glass) which costs shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility) shall constitute a portion of Operating Expenses as defined in Section 2.03 and shall be subject to the Additional Rent provisions in Section 2.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere herein, Landlord agrees to utilize reasonable efforts to effectuate and promptly complete any maintenance or repairs required to be performed by Landlord hereunder in a manner calculated to cause as little interruption and interference with Tenant’s conduct of business and operations in the Leased Premises as is reasonably practicable. In addition, if Landlord fails to perform any of its repair and maintenance obligations hereunder and such default is not cured by Landlord in accordance within thirty (30) days of written notice of such failure, then Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such repair and maintenance obligations as are reasonably necessary to either (a) prevent any damage to Tenant’s inventory or other personal property and/or (b) obviate any material and adverse effects to Tenant’s business operations resulting therefrom. Any and all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by Tenant in performing any of Landlord’s maintenance obligations in accordance with the terms, conditions, and requirements of the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid by Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of an itemized statement describing the repairs and/or maintenance performed.
