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.

If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for more than 15 days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not be required if there is an emergency), Landlord may, in addition to any other remedy available to Landlord, make the repairs, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable cost of the repairs within 30 days after receipt of an invoice, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 15% of the cost of the repairs.
Tenant’s Compliance With Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.
Improvements to Premises Lessee shall take the Premises in its "as-is" condition for the Extended Term except for certain Leasehold Improvements (herein so called) to the Premises which shall be completed in accordance with the specifications attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Approved Plans"), which have been approved by both Lessor and Lessee. Lessor shall cause the Leasehold Improvements to be installed or constructed in accordance with the Approved Plans by Lessor's contractor. So long as no Event of Default (or event which with notice or lapse of time could become an Event of Default) has occurred under the Lease, Lessor agrees to provide Lessee an allowance equal to One Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand One Hundred Nineteen and No/100 Dollars ($153,119.00) (the "Improvement Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for completion of the Leasehold Improvements in accordance with the Approved Plans, and an additional allowance equal to Three Thousand Two Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,200.00) (the "Architectural Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for space planning and design services for the Premises. In the event that any alterations or modifications to the Premises are required in order to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the State of Texas equivalent laws and regulations, the cost of any such alterations or modifications shall be satisfied out of the Improvement Allowance. The cost of the Leasehold Improvements and the space planning and design fees is to be paid by Lessor out of the Improvement Allowance and the Architectural Allowance, respectively. Any completed work (labor or materials) outside the scope of the Approved Plans or the cost of which is in excess of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance, as the case may be, shall be at Lessee's sole cost and will be billed to Lessee by Lessor and will be due and payable within ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of an invoice therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will not be liable for work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs over the amount of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance unless Lessee has consented in writing to such work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs prior to the commencement of such work or the incurring of such excess costs. Any portion of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance remaining upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements shall be deemed forfeited by Lessee. Lessor further acknowledges and agrees that Section 4.07 of the Lease is hereby amended to provide that Lessee shall not be required to surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor "in the same condition as when received", but rather shall be entitled to surrender possession of the Premises in the same condition as exists upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements described in Paragraph 3 above, subject to any and all other requirements set forth in Section 4.07 of the Lease.
Tenant’s Plans (i) Tenant shall diligently pursue the preparation of all drawings, plans and specifications for Tenant Improvements in accordance with this Paragraph 2(b). All such plans, drawings and specifications shall be performed by an architect and/or engineer (as applicable) reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, and shall include the following: (i) a space plan for the Premises; (ii) complete architectural, engineering and other plans for the Tenant Improvements; and (iii) a list of tenant improvement building standards for interior design, including a schedule (e.g. color palate, material board and spec sheets) of all interior color and finishes. Items (ii) and (iii) above are collectively referred to herein as “Working Drawings”. The space plan and Working Drawings shall comply with all applicable regulations, laws, ordinances, codes and rules. Tenant shall submit its space plan to Landlord, for review and approval in Landlord’s sole discretion. Within ten (10) business days after such submission, Landlord shall either approve or disapprove the space plan. Tenant shall make any changes necessary in order to correct any item identified by Landlord as grounds for its disapproval, and shall resubmit the correct space plan to Landlord within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s disapproval. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord received the revised space plan, Landlord shall approve or disapprove it. This procedure shall be repeated until the space plan is finally approved by Landlord and written approval has been delivered to Tenant. If Landlord fails to approve or disapprove any submission within the required time period Landlord shall be deemed to have disapproved such submission. Landlord has approved the space plan for Building 2, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule 2 (the “Building 2 Space Plan”), subject to Landlord’s right to review and approve the Working Drawings, interior color and finishes, materials, specifications, and other items pursuant to Paragraph 2(b)(ii) and (iii) below, and further subject to compliance and conformance with the Minimum Specifications (as defined in Paragraph 2(b)(iii) below).
(ii) Within twenty-one (21) days after Landlord has finally approved Tenant’s space plan, Tenant shall submit its Working Drawings and a pallet of interior colors and finishes to Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval, in Landlord’s sole discretion. Landlord’s approval or disapproval of such Working Drawings and pallet, and Tenant’s response thereto, shall follow the procedure (including deemed disapproval) described in Subsection (i) above with respect to the space plan. All items finally approved by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 2(b) are referred to herein collectively as “Tenant’s Plans”. Once approved by Landlord, no changes shall be made to Tenant’s Plans without the prior written approval of Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion.
(iii) Landlord has established a partial list of Minimum Building Specifications for Building 2 (the “Minimum Specifications”) which is attached to this Exhibit as Schedule 1, for use in the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements, provided that the Minimum Specifications is not a complete list of products, specifications and finishes to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements and accordingly, Tenant shall cause to be described in the Working Drawings all products, specifications and finishes to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements which are not otherwise listed on, or which deviate from, the Minimum Specifications, all of which shall be subject to Landlord’s approval in Landlord’s sole discretion. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Landlord, the portion of the Tenant Improvements pertaining to the products, specifications and finishes specified in the Minimum Specifications shall comply with the Minimum Specifications.
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 Representative Tenant has designated Xxxxx Xxxxxx as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, who, until further notice to Landlord, shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Tenant as required in this Tenant Work Letter.
