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.
Tenant’s Maintenance Obligations Tenant, at all times during the Term and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall keep the Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair, and in compliance with applicable Laws, including the replacement of any facility of City used by Tenant which requires replacement by reason of Tenant’s use thereof, excepting (a) ordinary wear and tear, and (b) damage due to casualty with respect to which the provisions of Section 14 [Damage or Destruction] shall apply. Tenant hereby waives all right to make repairs at the expense of City or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises as provided by California Civil Code Section 1941 and 1942 or any other law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. In addition, if it becomes reasonably necessary during the term of this Lease, as determined by Director, Tenant will, at its own expense, redecorate and paint fixtures and the interior of the Premises and improvements, and replace fixtures, worn carpeting, curtains, blinds, drapes, or other furnishings. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at all times, Tenant shall be solely liable for the facade of the Premises separating the Premises from the Terminal common areas, including the external face thereof, all windows and display areas therein, and all finishes thereon. As provided below in Section 15.4 [City’s Right to Perform], in the event Tenant fails to perform its maintenance and repair obligations hereunder, City shall have the right to do so, at Tenant’s expense. The parties acknowledge and agree that Tenant’s obligations under this Section are a material part of the bargained-for consideration under this Lease. Tenant’s compliance obligations shall include, without limitation, the obligation to make substantial or structural repairs and alterations to the Premises (including the Initial Improvements), regardless of, among other factors, the relationship of the cost of curative action to the Rent under this Lease, the length of the then remaining Term hereof, the relative benefit of the repairs to Tenant or City, the degree to which curative action may interfere with Tenant’s use or enjoyment of the Premises, the likelihood that the parties contemplated the particular requirement involved, or the relationship between the requirement involved and Tenant’s particular use of the Premises. No occurrence or situation arising during the Term, nor any present or future requirement, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and however extraordinary, shall relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder, nor give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease in whole or in part or to otherwise seek redress against City. Tenant waives any rights now or hereafter conferred upon it by any existing or future requirement to terminate this Lease, to receive any abatement, diminution, reduction or suspension of payment of Rent, or to compel City to make any repairs to comply with any such requirement, on account of any such occurrence or situation.
Common Area Maintenance Landlord will maintain or cause to be maintained the Common Areas and Tenant will reimburse Landlord for Tenant’s prorata share of the cost of such maintenance as hereinafter provided.
(a) Common area maintenance costs and expenses shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and allocated to any particular calendar year on the accrual method of accounting. Such costs and expenses shall include, but shall not be limited to upkeep, exterior painting, repairs, replacements and improvements in the Common Areas, snow removal, sweeping and cleanup, depreciation allowance on any machinery and equipment owned by Landlord and used in connection therewith, utility services including fire line water service charges, premiums for public liability, property damage and fire insurance including the Common Areas, any real estate tax and/or tax consultant expense incurred for the purpose of maintaining equitable tax assessments on the Development, all property taxes or assessments levied or assessed against all Common Areas, which, if not separately assessed, shall be determined, for land, by the ratio of land area designated for Common Area use to the total land area in the Development and, for improvements, on a fair and equitable allocation among the various improvements in the Development, giving weight to the factors which determine the amount of the real property tax or assessment in question. In addition, such costs shall include administrative costs equal to ten percent (10%) of the total cost paid or incurred by Landlord under this paragraph.
(b) Tenant shall pay as additional rent to Landlord, Tenant’s prorata share of such Common Area expenses in the following manner:
(1) From and after the date the minimum rental provided for herein has commenced, but subject to adjustment as hereinafter in this subparagraph (1) provided, Tenant shall pay Landlord in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Lease an estimated and adjustable amount covering Tenant’s proportionate share of common area services and expenses, which amount may be adjusted by Landlord by notice to Tenant at the end of any calendar month on the basis of Landlord’s experience and reasonably anticipated costs. (See Lease Rider “A” Building Expenses attached hereto and incorporated herein.)
(2) Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant a statement covering the calendar year just expired, showing the total operating costs, the amount of Tenant’s prorata share of such Common Area expenses for such calendar year and the payments made by Tenant with respect to such calendar year as set forth in subparagraph (b) I. If Tenant’s prorata share of such Common Area expenses exceeds Tenant’s payments so made, Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency within ten (10) days after receipt of such statement. If said payments exceed Tenant’s prorata share of such Common Area expenses, Tenant shall be entitled to offset the excess against payments next thereafter to become due Landlord as set forth in said subparagraph (b) I. Tenant’s pro-rata share of the total Common Area expenses for the previous calendar year shall be that portion of all such expenses which is equal to the proportion which the number of square feet of gross leasable area in the Demised Premises bears to the total number of square feet of gross leasable area of buildings in the entire Development which are from time to time completed and occupied as of the commencement of each calendar year.
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).
LANDLORD’S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Subject to Section 7.1 and Article XI, Landlord shall provide service, maintenance and repair with respect to any air conditioning, ventilating or heating equipment which serves the Premises (exclusive, however, of supplemental HVAC equipment serving only the Premises), and shall maintain in good repair the roof, foundations, footings, the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls of the Building (including exterior glass), and the structural, electrical and mechanical systems, except that Tenant at its expense shall make all repairs which Landlord deems reasonably necessary as a result of the act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, subtenants or contractors. Landlord shall have the right to employ or designate any reputable person or firm, including any employee or agent of Landlord or any of Landlord's affiliates or divisions, to perform any service, repair or maintenance function. Landlord need not make any other improvements or repairs except as specifically required under this Lease, and nothing contained in this Section shall limit Landlord's right to reimbursement from Tenant for maintenance, repair costs and replacement costs as provided elsewhere in this Lease. Tenant understands that it shall not make repairs at Landlord's expense or by rental offset. Tenant further understands that Landlord shall not be required to make any repairs to the roof, foundations, footings, the exterior surfaces of the exterior walls of the Building (excluding exterior glass), or structural, electrical or mechanical systems unless and until Tenant has notified Landlord in writing of the need for such repair and Landlord shall have a reasonable period of time thereafter to commence and complete said repair, if warranted. All costs of any maintenance, repairs and replacement on the part of Landlord provided hereunder shall be considered part of Project Costs. Tenant further agrees that if Tenant fails to report any such need for repair in writing within sixty (60) days of its discovery by Tenant, Tenant shall be responsible for any costs and expenses and other damages related to such repair which are in excess of those which would have resulted had such need for repair been reported to Landlord within such sixty (60) day period.
Maintenance by Tenant Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 13.2, 21 and 22 below, throughout the Term, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, (1) keep and maintain in good order and condition the Building and the Premises and repair the Building and the Premises and every part thereof, including interior and exterior glass, windows, window frames and casements, interior and exterior doors and door frames and door closers; interior and exterior lighting (including, without limitation, light bulbs and ballasts), the roof covering; the Systems serving the Premises and the Building; interior and exterior signage, interior demising walls and partitions, equipment, interior painting and interior walls and floors, and the roll-up doors, ramps and dock equipment, including, without limitation, dock bumpers, dock plates, dock seals, dock levelers and dock lights located in or on the Premises (excepting only those portions of the Building or the Project to be maintained by Landlord, as provided in Paragraph 13.2 below), (2) furnish all expendables, including light bulbs, paper goods and soaps, used in the Premises, and (3) keep and maintain in good order and condition and repair and replace all of Tenant’s security systems in or about or serving the Premises. Tenant shall not do nor shall Tenant allow Tenant’s Agents to do anything to cause any damage, deterioration or unsightliness to the Premises, the Building or the Project. Tenant shall perform its obligations under this Paragraph 13.1 in accordance with maintenance and repair standards adopted by Landlord from time to time for the Project. Tenant shall cause to be furnished to Landlord on not less than a quarterly basis maintenance reports on all Systems and the roof of the Building prepared by a qualified vendor or consultant, and Tenant shall promptly perform any maintenance tasks recommended by such reports or otherwise required by Landlord to cause the Premises and the Systems to comply with Landlord’s maintenance and repair standards.
