Related to Utilities and Air Conditioning

• Heat and Air-Conditioning Landlord shall provide and maintain heat, ventilation and air-conditioning (“HVAC”) equipment sufficient to maintain the Premises at comfortable temperatures for general office use, subject to all federal, state and municipal regulations, during Normal Building Operating Hours (as defined in the Rules and Regulations) and subject to compliance by Tenant with the following and the provisions of Section 6.2.4. If Tenant shall require HVAC at times other than Normal Building Operating Hours, Landlord may furnish such service and Tenant shall pay therefor such charges as may from time to time be in effect. If the temperature otherwise maintained in any portion of the Premises by the HVAC system is affected as a result of (i) the type or quantity of any lights, machines or equipment used by Tenant in the Premises, (ii) the occupancy of any portion of the Premises by more than one person per two hundred (200) square feet of rentable area, (iii) an electrical load for lighting or power in excess of the limits specified in Section 6.2.4, or (iv) any partitioning or other improvements installed by Tenant, then at Tenant’s sole cost, Landlord may install any equipment, or modify any existing equipment Landlord deems necessary to restore the temperature balance. Tenant agrees to keep closed, when necessary, blinds or other window treatments which, because of the sun’s position, must be closed to provide for the efficient operation of the air conditioning system, and Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and to abide by the reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC system. Landlord shall have no responsibility for providing any service from Separate HVAC Equipment, as defined in Section 6.1.3.

• Heating and Air Conditioning Tenant shall not use any method of heating or air-conditioning, other than that supplied by Landlord, without Landlord’s prior written consent.

• Air Conditioning 35.01 Landlord shall make available to Tenant, and Tenant shall be permitted to use, the base Building equipment presently supplying air-conditioning service to the Premises and any replacements thereof (the “Existing HVAC Equipment”) Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (i) during the Building’s “Cooling Season” (which is currently May 15 through October 15) for those portions of the Existing HVAC Equipment serving the perimeter portions of the Premises, and (ii) three hundred sixty-five (365) days a year for those portions of the Existing HVAC System serving the interior portions of the Premises, in each instance subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Article. Landlord represents that as of the date hereof the Existing HVAC Equipment is in working order and has a cooling capacity which is appropriate for normal office use and normal occupancy density, to wit: the Existing HVAC Equipment is designed to make available a capacity of one (1) ton of HVAC per 300 usable square feet, and is designed to deliver a summer-winter temperature of between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Landlord shall repair and maintain the Existing HVAC Equipment in good working order and condition, at Landlord’s cost and expense; provided, however, that all other air conditioning systems, equipment and facilities hereafter located in or servicing the Premises (the “Supplemental Systems”) including, without limitation, the ducts, dampers, registers, grilles and appurtenances utilized to distribute conditioned air within the Premises in connection with both the Existing HVAC Equipment and/or the Supplemental Systems (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “HVAC System”), shall be maintained, repaired and operated by Tenant in compliance with all present and future laws and regulations relating thereto at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The parties acknowledge that as of the date hereof there is a two (2) ton water cooled supplemental air conditioning unit installed at the Premises (the “Existing Supplemental System”). Landlord hereby approves, in concept only, subject to Tenant’s compliance with the applicable provisions of this Lease including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article and of Article 8, above, Tenant’s installation, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, of an additional three (3) ton supplemental air conditioning unit (or, should Tenant elect to remove the Existing Supplemental System, then Tenant’s installation of a five (5) ton supplemental air conditioning unit) to service the Premises (the “Additional Supplemental System”). Tenant shall pay for all electricity consumed in the operation of the HVAC System (and/or water, gas and steam) for the production of chilled and/or condenser water and its supply to the Premises, if applicable, which shall become the obligation of Tenant subject to the terms of Article 41 of this Lease. Tenant shall pay for all parts and supplies necessary for the proper operation of the HVAC System (other than the Existing HVAC Equipment) (and any restoration or replacement by Tenant of all or any part thereof shall be in quality and class at least equal to the original work or installations); provided, however, that Tenant shall not alter, modify, remove or replace the HVAC System, or any part thereof, without Landlord’s prior written consent, except that Tenant may remove the Existing Supplemental System in conjunction with Tenant’s installation of a five (5) ton replacement unit as contemplated hereinabove.

• Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Landlord shall furnish to the Premises heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (“HVAC”) in accordance with the Design Standards set forth in Exhibit D during Ordinary Business Hours. Landlord shall have access to all air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets and all other mechanical installations of Landlord (collectively, “Mechanical Installations”), and Tenant shall not construct partitions or other obstructions which may interfere with Landlord’s access thereto or the moving of Landlord’s equipment to and from the Mechanical Installations. No Tenant Party shall at any time enter the Mechanical Installations or tamper with, adjust, or otherwise affect such Mechanical Installations. Landlord shall not be responsible if the HVAC System fails to provide cooled or heated air, as the case may be, to the Premises in accordance with the Design Standards by reason of (i) any equipment installed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, which has an electrical load in excess of the average electrical load and human occupancy factors for the HVAC System as designed, or (ii) any rearrangement of partitioning or other Alterations made or performed by, for or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall install, if missing, blinds or shades on all windows, which blinds and shades shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, and shall keep operable windows in the Premises closed, and lower the blinds when necessary because of the sun’s position, whenever the HVAC System is in operation or as and when required by any Requirement. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and shall abide by the rules and regulations which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC System. Tenant acknowledges that the server room in the Premises currently has three heat pumps installed, being two 4-ton units, and one 2.5-ton unit (the “Existing Heat Pumps”). The 2.5-ton unit is currently connected and operational. Tenant shall determine whether it is satisfied with the condition of the Existing Heat Pumps and Landlord shall not have any responsibility or liability for the condition, operation, maintenance, repair or replacement of the Existing Heat Pumps. Tenant may operate the Existing Heat Pumps. Tenant shall be responsible for, and pay directly for, all necessary maintenance and repairs to the Existing Heat Pumps. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord monthly for the cost of all utility services used to operate the Existing Heat Pumps within 10 Business Days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice for such amount. Landlord may measure Tenant’s usage of such utility services by either a sub-meter or by other reasonable methods such as by temporary check meters or by survey. Tenant, at its cost, may replace the Existing Heat Pumps with one or more new heat pumps, provided, however, that the capacity of such replacement heat pump(s) shall not exceed the 10.5-ton capacity cooling capacity of the Existing Heat Pumps.

• HEATING, VENTILATING AND AIR CONDITIONING The Tenant will operate and regulate those portions of the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment within and serving the Leased Premises so as to maintain such reasonable conditions of temperature and humidity within the Leased Premises as are determined by the Landlord and its Architect and engineers so that no direct or indirect appropriation of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning from the other portions of the Building occurs. The Tenant shall comply with such stipulations and with all Rules and Regulations of the Landlord pertaining to the operation and regulation of such equipment. The Tenant shall immediately notify the Landlord in the event that any repairs are required to the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment serving the Leased Premises and shall reimburse the Landlord as part of its Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for the cost of any maintenance, repairs or replacements made by the Landlord in respect of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment serving the Leased Premises. The Landlord acknowledges that the Tenant shall not be responsible for the cost of capital repairs and capital replacements in respect of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment serving the Leased Premises provided that such capital repairs and capital replacements are not necessitated by the Tenant's incorrect or negligent use of equipment. The Tenant shall not under any circumstances go onto the roof of the Building or make any maintenance repairs or replacements to the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems in the Building without the prior written consent of the Landlord. If the Tenant fails to comply with such stipulations and Rules and Regulations, the Landlord shall be entitled to take such steps as it deems advisable to correct such defaults (including, without limitation, entering upon the Leased Premises and assuming control of such equipment) without liability to the Tenant, and the Tenant will pay to the Landlord forthwith upon demand as Additional Rent all costs and expenses incurred by the Landlord in so doing. The Landlord represents and warrants to the Tenant that the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment serving the Leased Premises and required to be installed by the Landlord pursuant to Schedule "C" is and will be at the Commencement Date in good working order and condition.

• Utilities and Services Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for all charges for water, gas, electricity, sewer, heat, light, power, telephone, telecommunications service, refuse pickup, janitorial service, interior landscape maintenance and all other utilities, materials and services furnished directly to Tenant or the Premises or used by Tenant in, on or about the Premises during the Term, together with any taxes thereon. If any utilities or services are not separately metered or assessed to Tenant, Landlord shall make a reasonable determination of Tenant’s proportionate share of the cost of such utilities and services, and Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord, as an item of additional rent, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s statement or invoice therefor. Alternatively, Landlord may elect to include such cost in the definition of Project Costs in which event Tenant shall pay Tenant’s proportionate share of such costs in the manner set forth in Section 4.2. Landlord shall not be liable for damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any utility or other service furnished to the Premises, and no such failure or interruption shall be deemed an eviction or entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or withhold or xxxxx any rent due hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of the direct actions of Landlord, its employees, contractors or authorized agents, for more than three (3) consecutive business days following written notice to Landlord there is no HVAC or electricity services to all or a portion of the Premises, or such an interruption of other essential utilities and building services, such as fire protection or water, so that all or a portion of the Premises cannot be used by Tenant, then Tenant’s Basic Rent (or an equitable portion of such Basic Rent to the extent that less than all of the Premises are affected) shall thereafter be abated until the Premises are again usable by Tenant; provided, however, that if Landlord is diligently pursuing the repair of such utilities or services and Landlord provides substitute services reasonably suitable for Tenant’s purposes, as for example, bringing in portable air-conditioning equipment, then there shall not be an abatement of Basic Rent. Provided Landlord shall diligently pursue the repair of such utilities and services, the foregoing provisions shall be Tenant’s sole recourse and remedy in the event of such an interruption of services. The foregoing provisions shall not apply in case of the actions of parties other than Landlord, its employees, contractors or authorized agents, or in the case of damage to, or destruction of, the Premises (which shall be governed by the provisions of Article XI of the Lease). Any disputes concerning the foregoing provisions shall be submitted to and resolved by JAMS arbitration pursuant to Article III of the Work Letter attached to this Lease. Landlord shall at all reasonable times have free access to the Building and Premises to install, maintain, repair, replace or remove all electrical and mechanical installations of Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that the costs incurred by Landlord related to providing above-standard utilities to Tenant (which shall only be provided upon Tenant’s request), including, without limitation, telephone lines, shall be charged to Tenant.

Landlord shall pay, as Operating Expenses or subject to Tenant’s reimbursement obligation, for all Utilities used on the Premises, all maintenance charges for Utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges for Utilities imposed by any Governmental Authority or Utility provider, and any taxes, penalties, surcharges or similar charges thereon. Landlord shall not cause any Utilities to the Premises which are not currently separately metered to be separately metered. Tenant shall pay directly to the Utility provider, prior to delinquency, any separately metered Utilities and services which may be furnished to Tenant or the Premises during the Term. Tenant shall pay, as part of Operating Expenses, its share of all charges for jointly metered Utilities based upon consumption, as reasonably determined by Landlord. No interruption or failure of Utilities, from any cause whatsoever other than Landlord’s willful misconduct, shall result in eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant, termination of this Lease or the abatement of Rent. Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer with respect to Common Areas to normal restroom use. Landlord’s sole obligation for either providing emergency generators or providing emergency back-up power to Tenant shall be: (i) to provide emergency generators with not less than the capacity of the emergency generators located in the Building as of the Commencement Date, and (ii) to contract with a third party to maintain the emergency generators as per the manufacturer’s standard maintenance guidelines. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with operational emergency generators or back-up power or to supervise, oversee or confirm that the third party maintaining the emergency generators is maintaining the generators as per the manufacturer’s standard guidelines or otherwise. During any period of replacement, repair or maintenance of the emergency generators when the emergency generators are not operational, including any delays thereto due to the inability to obtain parts or replacement equipment, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with an alternative back-up generator or generators or alternative sources of back-up power. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord does not guaranty that such emergency generators will be operational at all times or that emergency power will be available to the Premises when needed.
