Tenant’s Maintenance Tenant shall maintain the interior of the demised premises, including interior ceilings, walls, floors, plumbing and plumbing fixtures, electrical service and fixtures, other fixtures, heating and air conditioning equipment, pipes, doors, windows and all glass, the overhead doors, including the common hallway and the two bathrooms in the common hallway, in a safe, clean, sightly and sanitary condition, and in good working order, and shall repair and replace same as is necessary to maintain them in the condition they were in at the time Tenant took occupancy of the demised premises and, in any event, to maintain them in good working order. Tenant shall be responsible to enter into a servicing agreement for the heating and air conditioning equipment, at Tenant's expense satisfaction to Landlord. Landlord shall in no event be responsible for replacement of any broken windows, regardless of the cause thereof, the responsibility for which being that of Tenant. Tenant shall make no alterations or structural changes to the improvements on the demised premises or place signs on the exterior thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall also be billed directly for and pay the maintenance fees charged by the Northgate Center Association and covering the term of this Lease, as it may be renewed. Upon the commencement of this Lease and the termination of this Lease, if it does not coincide with the Association's billing cycle, Tenant shall pay to Landlord his pro rata amount of the Association fees until the beginning of the next billing cycle, if at the beginning of the Lease term, and from the end of the last billing cycle to the date of termination, upon termination of the Lease.
Tenant's Improvements If the Lessor is the Insuring Party, the Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor under the terms of this Lease. If Lessee is the Insuring Party, the policy carried by Lessee under this Paragraph 8.3 shall insure Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations.
Tenant’s Repairs Subject to Section 13 hereof, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition all portions of the Premises, including, without limitation, entries, doors, ceilings, interior windows, interior walls, and the interior side of demising walls. Such repair and replacement may include capital expenditures and repairs whose benefit may extend beyond the Term. Should Tenant fail to make any such repair or replacement or fail to maintain the Premises, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such failure. If Tenant fails to commence cure of such failure within 10 days of Landlord’s notice, and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, Landlord may perform such work and shall be reimbursed by Tenant within 10 days after demand therefor; provided, however, that if such failure by Tenant creates or could create an emergency, Landlord may immediately commence cure of such failure and shall thereafter be entitled to recover the costs of such cure from Tenant. Subject to Sections 17 and 18, Tenant shall bear the full uninsured cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Project that results from damage caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party and any repair that benefits only the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, as of the Rent Commencement Date, the maintenance and repair obligations for the Premises shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant as set forth on Exhibit H attached hereto. The maintenance obligations allocated to Tenant pursuant to Exhibit H (the “Tenant Maintenance Obligations”) shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The Tenant Maintenance Obligations shall include the procurement and maintenance of contracts, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, with copies to Landlord upon Landlord’s written request, for and with contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord specializing and experienced in the respective Tenant Maintenance Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the scope of work of any such contracts entered into by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph shall, at a minimum, comply with manufacturer’s recommended maintenance procedures for the optimal performance of the applicable equipment. Landlord shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, have no obligation to perform any Tenant Maintenance Obligations. The Tenant Maintenance Obligations shall not include the right or obligation on the part of Tenant to make any structural and/or capital repairs or improvements to the Project, and Landlord shall continue, as part of Operating Expenses, to be responsible, as provided in Section 13, for capital repairs and replacements required to be made to the Project. If Tenant fails to maintain any portion of the Premises for which Tenant is responsible as part of the Tenant Maintenance Obligations in a manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord within the requirements of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to provide Tenant with written notice thereof and to assume the Tenant Maintenance Obligations if Tenant does not cure Tenant’s failure within 10 days after receipt of such notice.
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.
Tenant’s Equipment Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord prior to moving any heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures (collectively, “Equipment”) into or out of the Building and shall pay to Landlord any costs actually incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. If such Equipment requires special handling, Tenant agrees (a) to employ only persons holding all necessary licenses to perform such work, (b) all work performed in connection therewith shall comply with all applicable Requirements and (c) such work shall be done only during hours designated by Landlord.
Lessee's Improvements Since Lessor is the Insuring Party, Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor under the terms of this Lease.
TENANT’S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Tenant at its sole expense shall comply with all applicable laws and governmental regulations governing the Premises and make all repairs necessary to keep the Premises in the condition as existed on the Commencement Date (or on any later date that the improvements may have been installed), excepting ordinary wear and tear, including without limitation the electrical and mechanical systems, any air conditioning, ventilating or heating equipment which serves the Premises, all walls, glass, windows, doors, door closures, hardware, fixtures, electrical, plumbing, fire extinguisher equipment and other equipment. Any damage or deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and tear if the same could have been prevented by good maintenance practices by Tenant. As part of its maintenance obligations hereunder, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, provide Landlord with copies of all maintenance schedules, reports and notices prepared by, for or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall obtain preventive maintenance contracts from a licensed heating and air conditioning contractor to provide for regular inspection and maintenance of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems servicing the Premises, all subject to Landlord’s approval. All repairs shall be at least equal in quality to the original work, shall be made only by a licensed contractor approved in writing in advance by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and shall be made only at the time or times approved by Landlord. Any contractor utilized by Tenant shall be subject to Landlord’s standard requirements for contractors, as modified from time to time. Landlord shall have the right at all times (upon at least 24 hours’ prior notice) to inspect Tenant’s maintenance of all equipment (including without limitation air conditioning, ventilating and heating equipment), and may impose reasonable restrictions and requirements with respect to repairs, as provided in Section 7.3, and the provisions of Section 7.4 shall apply to all repairs. Alternatively, Landlord may elect to make any repair or maintenance required hereunder on behalf of Tenant and at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred upon submission of an invoice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.1, in the event Tenant’s obligation for compliance with all applicable laws and governmental regulations, or making repairs, results in a capital improvement on Tenant’s part (or Tenant’s being obligated to reimburse Landlord for a capital improvement), Tenant shall only be responsible for the amortized cost of such capital improvement (amortized at a market cost of funds as reasonably determined by Landlord) over the useful life of such improvements during the Term (except in the event obligation for any such capital improvement is required due to Tenant’s particular use of the Premises, in which case Tenant shall be fully responsible for the entire cost and installation of such capital improvement).
Tenant’s Alterations (a) Except as hereafter provided, Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements (“Tenant Alterations”) to the Leased Space without the consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. At the time of Landlord’s consent, Landlord shall designate whether Tenant shall be required to remove the proposed Tenant Alteration upon termination of this Lease, and the absence of such designation in Landlord’s written consent shall be deemed Landlord’s agreement that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove Tenant Alterations upon the termination of this Lease. Landlord also may impose such reasonable conditions as part of its consent as Landlord deems appropriate, taking into consideration the nature of the proposed Tenant Alteration, including, without limitation, requiring Tenant to furnish Landlord with security for the payment of all costs to be incurred in connection with such work, insurance, and copies of the plans, specifications and permits necessary for such work. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to obligate Tenant to construct any Tenant Alteration for which Landlord has given its consent.
(b) Landlord’s consent shall not be required for Tenant Alterations which (i) do not adversely impact the structural integrity of the Building or the systems serving the Building or their operation, (ii) are not visible from the Building exterior and (iii) qualify under the following:
(A) The Tenant Alteration is to be made to portions of the Leased Premises other than the laboratory areas and the cost thereof is $10,000 or less with respect to any Tenant Alteration project (or $20,000 or less in the aggregate with respect to Tenant Alteration projects undertaken over any twelve (12) consecutive month period); or
(B) The Tenant Alteration is to be made to the laboratory areas of the Leased Premises and the cost thereof is $50,000 or less with respect to any Tenant Alteration project (or $100,000 or less in the aggregate with respect to Tenant Alteration projects undertaken over any twelve (12) consecutive month period). Tenant Alterations described in this subsection (b) for which Landlord’s consent is not required hereinafter are called “Permitted Tenant Alterations.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, painting or carpeting of the interior of the Leased Space and like cosmetic improvements shall not be deemed Tenant Alterations regardless of the cost thereof. Tenant shall not be obligated to remove Permitted Tenant Alterations upon the termination of this Lease unless an Event of Default has occurred which is then continuing and Landlord so requires such removal.
(c) All Tenant Alterations shall be done at Tenant’s expense by contractors approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall be deemed given unless Landlord notifies Tenant of its objections within ten (10) business days after delivery of Tenant’s request for approval. With respect to Tenant Alterations other than the Permitted Tenant Alterations, no work shall be performed until the plans therefore have been approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall be deemed approved unless Landlord notifies Tenant of objections to the proposed plans within ten (10) business days after delivery to Landlord of a complete set of the plans therefor. In connection with the review of plans submitted by Tenant, Landlord shall be reimbursed by Tenant for Landlord’s cost in reviewing such plans at the rate of $125.00 per hour; subject to reasonable increase to reflect the then current hourly charge imposed for such review by Landlord for its tenants in the Center generally, and prior to undertaking any such review, Landlord shall provide a statement of the maximum review hours to be dedicated to such review. With respect to Permitted Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of Tenant’s application for a building permit therefor, if applicable (together with all attachments thereto), and no review fee shall be charged to Tenant by Landlord in connection therewith nor shall Landlord’s approval of such application be required. Tenant shall provide copies of as-built plans and specifications for all Tenant Alterations to Landlord within a reasonable time of completion of the Tenant Alteration. All Tenant Alterations shall be done in a first class, workmanlike manner and shall comply with all insurance requirements then made available to Tenant and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereover, and, where applicable, with all reasonable requirements of Landlord imposed as a condition of such consent.
(d) If, as a condition of Landlord’s consent, removal of a Tenant Alteration is required at termination of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly remove such Tenant Alterations and repair any damage occasioned by such removal. In default thereof, Landlord may effect said removal and repairs at Tenants expense. With respect to any Tenant Alterations which Tenant is not obligated to remove hereunder (including without limitation Permitted Tenant Alterations), such Tenant Alterations, if not removed by Tenant upon the termination of this Lease, shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant, and deemed a part of Landlord’s property, notwithstanding any provision of Section 16 to the contrary.
Landlord Repairs Landlord shall maintain, at its expense, the structural soundness of the roof, foundations, and exterior walls of the Site and all common areas within the Site in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and damages caused by Tenant, its agents and contractors excluded; provided, however, that Landlord’s costs of maintenance and repair of the common areas may be included within Site Operating Costs as provided and subject to the limitations thereon set forth in Section 9 above; and provided, further, that Landlord shall also make all such repairs and restorations which may be required as a result of any patent or latent defects in Landlord’s Work pursuant to Landlord’s warranty set forth in Section 6 of Exhibit “B”. The term “walls” as used in this Section shall not include windows, glass or plate glass, doors or overhead doors, special store fronts, dock bumpers, dock plates or levelers, or office entries. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Section, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to repair; provided, however, that Landlord shall in any event have commenced and diligently pursue all such repairs to completion within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s written notice therefor; provided, further, that if such repairs are not capable of being completed within said 30-day period, then Landlord shall have such additional period of time as may be reasonably necessary to complete such repairs so long as Landlord commences such repairs within said thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues such repairs to completion. If the repairs required to be made by Landlord materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use of the Premises for its Permitted Use and Tenant’s notice clearly and conspicuously labels the repair a “Critical Repair” and summarizes the requirements of this Section, Landlord shall commence and diligently pursue such repairs to completion within five (5) business days after receipt of the foregoing written notice from Tenant and, if Landlord fails to commence and diligently pursue such repairs within said five (5) business day period, Tenant shall have the right to elect to perform such repairs on behalf of Landlord, the actual, reasonable costs of which shall be reimbursed by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of a written invoice or statement therefor from Tenant and, if such costs and expenses are not so reimbursed to Tenant within said 30-day period, Tenant shall have the right to offset the same, together with interest at a per-annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus ten percent (10%), from the next and subsequent installments of Base Rent payable under this Lease until the foregoing amount is fully offset.
LANDLORD'S MAINTENANCE Subject to the provisions of Articles 4 and 14, Landlord shall, as an Operating Expense, maintain and make necessary repairs to the foundations, roofs, exterior walls, and the structural elements of the Building, the electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, mechanical, communication, security and the fire and life safety systems of the Building and those corridors, washrooms and lobbies which are Common Areas of the Building, except that: (a) Landlord shall not be responsible for the maintenance or repair of any floor or wall coverings in the Premises or any of such systems which are located within the Premises and are supplemental or special to the Building’s standard systems; and (b) the cost of performing any of said maintenance or repairs whether to the Premises or to the Building caused by the negligence of Tenant, its employees, agents, servants, licensees, subtenants, contractors or invitees, shall be paid by Tenant, subject to the waivers set forth in Section 16.4. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any expense, injury, loss or damage resulting from work done in or upon, or in connection with the use of, any adjacent or nearby building, land, street or alley.
