Tenant’s Signs Except as expressly provided in this Article 32, without Landlord’s prior consent, which Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion, Tenant shall not place on the Premises or on the Building any exterior signs nor any interior signs that are visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses relating to any such sign approved by Landlord, including without limitation, the cost of the installation and maintenance of the sign. On the date of expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall remove all signs and repair any damage caused by such removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the lobby signage rights of Scient Corporation (“Scient”) are relinquished pursuant to the terms of that certain lease between Scient Corporation and Landlord with respect to the 5th and 6th Floors of the Building (the “Scient Premises”), then, subject to obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent as to size, design and location, which consent shall not be unreasonably withhold, Tenant shall have the right to install signage in the lobby of the Building for the remainder of the Term of this Lease so long as such signage shall not be more than 80% as large as the Del Monte signage. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Scient Lease contains the following provision, which shall not be amended by Landlord without obtaining Tenant’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld: “If Tenant [Scient] at any time pursuant to the terms of this Article 17 [of the Scient Lease] either (a) subleases less than the entire Premises [Scient Premises] or (ii) subleases all of the Premises [Scient Premises] to a subtenant, other than Epicentric, whose “creditworthiness” is less than that of Epicentric, such subletting shall result in Tenant’s [Scient’s] relinquishment for the balance of the Term of any rights to signage in the ground floor lobby of the Building as provided in Article 32 [of the Scient Lease]. For purposes of determining “creditworthiness” under this Section 17.10 [of the Scient Lease], the company with the greater net worth shall be considered the more creditworthy company. Net worth shall be determined according to the following formula: assets minus current and long term liabilities equals net worth, as determined according to generally accepted accounting principles.”
Tenant’s Risk Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises, and to use such other portions of the Building and the Project as Tenant is given the right to use by this Lease at Tenant’s own risk. The Landlord Parties shall not be liable to the Tenant Parties for any damage, injury, loss, compensation, or claim (including, but not limited to, claims for the interruption of or loss to a Tenant Party’s business) based on, arising out of or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, repairs to any portion of the Premises or the Building or the Project, any fire, robbery, theft, mysterious disappearance, or any other crime or casualty, the actions of any other tenants of the Building or of any other person or persons, or any leakage in any part or portion of the Premises or the Building or the Project, or from water, rain or snow that may leak into, or flow from any part of the Premises or the Building or the Project, or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Building or the Project. Any goods, property or personal effects stored or placed in or about the Premises shall be at the sole risk of the Tenant Party, and neither the Landlord Parties nor their insurers shall in any manner be held responsible therefor. The Landlord Parties shall not be responsible or liable to a Tenant Party, or to those claiming by, through or under a Tenant Party, for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining premises or any part of the premises adjacent to or connecting with the Premises or any part of the Building or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord Parties shall not be released from liability for any injury, loss, damages or liability to the extent arising from any gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties on or about the Premises; provided, however, in no event shall the Landlord Parties have any liability to a Tenant Party based on any loss with respect to or interruption in the operation of Tenant’s business. The provisions of this Section shall be applicable until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, and during such further period as Tenant may use or be in occupancy of any part of the Premises or of the Building.
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.
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 Signage Tenant shall be entitled to install the following signage in connection with Tenant's lease of the Premises (collectively, the "Tenant's Signage"):
TENANT'S USE OF PREMISES Tenant agrees that the Premises shall be used and occupied only for the Permitted Uses specified in the Basic Provisions, and for no other use. Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose or purposes or under any other trade name whatsoever without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or granted at Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be in compliance with and subject to all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, statutes, orders and regulations and any CC&R’s (including payments thereunder, if any) or any supplement thereto recorded in any official or public records with respect to the Project or any portion thereof. In the event Landlord desires to record CC&R’s against the Project after the date of full execution of this Lease, Landlord shall, at its option, either (i) obtain Tenant’s consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided Tenant's material rights and obligations under this Lease are not impaired), conditioned or delayed or (ii) elect not to obtain Tenant’s consent thereto, in which event the provisions of this Lease shall prevail over any conflicting provisions of the CC&R’s; provided, that, Landlord shall not have the obligation to obtain Tenant’s consent for, and the terms of clause (ii) of this sentence shall not apply to, CC&R's that (x) do not materially increase the costs payable by Tenant under this Lease, do not materially increase Tenant's obligations under this Lease, do not materially decrease Landlord's obligations under this Lease, do not grant rights to any third party that materially interfere or materially limit the rights of Tenant in any way, and do not materially decrease Tenant's rights under this Lease, or (y) are required by applicable law (provided, that, to the extent applicable law requires any such CC&R's as a result of any voluntary actions taken by Landlord, then Landlord shall be solely responsible for any increased costs or expenses imposed by such CC&R's). Tenant further covenants and agrees that it will not use or suffer or permit any person or persons to use the Premises or any part thereof for conducting therein a second-hand store, auction, distress or fire sale or bankruptcy or going-out-of-business sale, or for any use or purpose in violation of the laws of the United States of America or the laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements of the State, County and City wherein the Premises are situated, including in violation of any of the permitted use restrictions outlined in Exhibit N. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall comply with the rules and regulations attached hereto as Attachment 1, together with such additional rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time prescribe in accordance with and subject to the limitations of this Lease. Tenant shall not commit waste; overload the floors or structure of the Building in which the Premises are located; subject the Premises, the Building, the Common Area or the Project to any use which would damage the same or increase the risk of loss or violate any insurance coverage; permit any unreasonable odors, smoke, dust, gas, substances, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, take any action which would constitute a nuisance or would unreasonably disturb, obstruct or endanger any other tenants, take any action which would abrogate any warranties; or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose. Tenant shall promptly comply with the reasonable requirements of any board of fire insurance underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted. Tenant shall not do any act which shall in any way encumber the title of Landlord in and to the Premises, the Building or the Project. Tenant further covenants and agrees that, subject to the express obligations of Landlord with respect to the maintenance, repair, and restoration of the Premises set forth in this Lease, during the term hereof the Premises, and every part thereof, shall be kept by Tenant in the condition the Premises were in upon occupancy, subject to reasonable wear and tear, and in clean and wholesome condition, free of any objectionable noises, odors or nuisances, and that all fire, safety, health and police regulations that apply to Tenant’s operations in or about the Premises and are not otherwise the responsibility of the Landlord under this Lease shall, in all respects and at all times, be fully complied with by Tenant.
Tenant’s Alterations (a) The construction of the initial Leasehold Improvements (as defined in Exhibit C) shall be governed by the terms of Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof. Except for the Leasehold Improvements and as otherwise set forth below, Tenant shall not, and shall not permit any Tenant Agent to, cut, drill into, or secure any fixture, apparatus, or equipment, or make alterations, improvements, or physical additions of any kind to any part of the Premises (collectively, “Alterations”) without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. If Landlord fails to respond to a request for consent to a proposed Alteration within 10 business days after Landlord’s receipt of such request, the request shall be deemed denied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord fails to respond within such 10 business-day period, Tenant may thereafter send to Landlord a second written requesting approval of the proposed Alteration, which request must set forth in bold and 14-point capitalized type on the first page thereof the following statement: “SECOND AND FINAL REQUEST—LANDLORD HAS 10 BUSINESS DAYS TO RESPOND PURSUANT TO SECTION 9” (“Second Alteration Request”). If Landlord then fails to respond to the Second Alteration Request within 10 business days after receipt thereof (“Second Alteration Request Response Period”), Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to consent to the proposed Alteration, provided Tenant shall otherwise have complied with all provisions of this Lease relating to such Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord notifies Tenant in writing within the Second Alteration Request Response Period that Landlord requires additional time to review the request, then the Second Alteration Request Response Period shall be extended by an additional 10 business days. “
