Repairs by Tenant Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly perform all maintenance, repairs, refurbishing and replacement work to the Leased Premises that are not Landlord’s express responsibility under this Lease, and shall keep the Leased Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant’s repair obligations include repairs to: (a) floor covering, (b) interior partitions, (c) doors, (d) the interior side of demising walls, (e) electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant and located in the Leased Premises or other portions of the Building, (f) supplemental air conditioning units, private showers and kitchens, including hot water heaters, plumbing and similar facilities serving Tenant exclusively, and (g) alterations performed by contractors retained by Tenant, including related HVAC balancing. All Tenant’s work shall be performed in accordance with the rules and procedures described in Section 5.2 hereof. Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant will surrender and deliver the Leased Premises to Landlord in the same condition in which the Leased Premises existed on the Commencement Date, subject, however, to (i) the provisions of Article VI hereof, (ii) the alterations permitted pursuant to this Lease, (iii) the provisions of Section 5.3, and (iv) except for ordinary wear and tear. If Tenant should fail or refuse to make such repairs, refurbishings or replacements or perform said maintenance as and when reasonably required, Landlord may, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, cure such failure or refusal and Landlord’s costs shall be reimburseable by Tenant as additional rent, by Tenant, immediately upon invoicing by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to perform, as Above Standard Services, Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations with respect to the Leased Premises. Tenant shall notify Landlord of the need for any such repair and maintenance and Landlord shall endeavor to respond timely to each such request.
Tenant’s Costs Tenant agrees to reimburse or pay Landlord within thirty (30) days after invoice from Landlord for (a) any cleaning expenses incurred by Landlord (to the extent requested by Tenant or as required by Landlord if Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant has failed to maintain the Premises in the condition required by the terms of this Lease, and following not less than five (5) Business Days written notice to Tenant, and Tenant’s failure to correct such failure to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction with such time period), including carpet cleaning, garbage and trash removal expenses, over and above the normal cleaning provided by Landlord, if any, or due to the presence of a lunchroom or kitchen or food or beverage dispensing machines within the Premises, (b) any expense incurred by Landlord for usage in the Premises of heating, ventilating and air conditioning services, elevator services, electricity, water, janitorial services, or any other services or utilities over and above the normal usage (on a per rentable square foot basis) for the Building, (c) any expense incurred by Landlord relating to or arising out of the usage by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents of the public or common areas of the Building or Land, or any of the equipment contained therein, which usage is over and above the normal usage for such public or common areas or equipment, and (d) any other direct expense incurred by Landlord on Tenant’s behalf. The normal cleaning to be provided by Landlord to the Premises is described in Exhibit G. Landlord reserves the right to install and activate separate metering of electricity, water or other utilities to the Premises, and Tenant agrees to reimburse or pay Landlord within twenty (20) Business Days after invoice from Landlord for the reasonable, actual and documented costs of such separate metering, in which case the Base Amount Allocable to the Premises and Operating Costs shall be adjusted accordingly. If Tenant desires any of the services specified in this paragraph 3.4.8, at a time other than Normal Business Hours (hereinafter defined), then such services shall be supplied to Tenant upon the written request of Tenant delivered to Landlord before 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day preceding such extra usage, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual cost of such services within thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant an invoice therefor. The costs incurred by Landlord in providing HVAC service to Tenant at a time other than Normal Business Hours, shall include costs for electricity, water, sewage, water treatment, labor, metering, filtering, and maintenance reasonably allocated by Landlord to providing such service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant desires HVAC service on a Requested Saturday Morning between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and provided that Tenant delivers a written request to Landlord prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day preceding the Requested Saturday Morning on which such HVAC service is requested in which Tenant specifies the hours during which such HVAC service is requested, Landlord shall provide HVAC service to the Premises at no additional charge to Tenant during the requested period between 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on such Saturday morning (the “Requested Saturday Morning”). As used in this Lease, the term “Normal Business Hours” means 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Business Days
Alterations by Tenant Tenant shall not make any alterations, renovations, improvements or other installations (collectively “Alterations”) in, on or to any part of the Premises (including, without limitation, any alterations of the front, signs, structural alterations, or any cutting or drilling into any part of the Premises or any securing of any fixture, apparatus, or equipment of any kind to any part of the Premises) unless and until Tenant shall have caused plans and specifications therefore to have been prepared, at Tenant’s expense, by an architect or other duly qualified person and shall have obtained Landlord’s approval thereof. Tenant shall submit to Landlord detailed drawings and plans of the proposed Alterations at the time Landlord’s approval is sought. If such approval is granted, Tenant shall cause the work described in such plans and specifications to be performed, at its expense, promptly, efficiently, competently and in a good and workmanlike manner by duly qualified and licensed persons or entities approved by Landlord, using first grade materials. All such work shall comply with all applicable codes, rules, regulations and ordinances. The Tenant shall at all times maintain fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount adequate to cover the cost of replacement of all alterations, decorations, additions or improvements to the Premises by Tenant in the event of fire or extended coverage loss.

Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of any specific needed repairs, replacements or maintenance which will (1) affect the exterior walls, exterior doors, windows of the building, the structural parts of the building, the roof of the building, or the parking areas, or (2) exceed Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) (collectively “Material Repairs”). Tenant shall provide Landlord copies of plans and specifications for such Material Repairs, as required by Landlord. Landlord shall then have twenty (20) days after receipt of such plans and specifications to approve or reject the same by delivering written notice to Tenant. If Landlord fails to respond within such twenty-day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such plans and specifications. All Material Repairs to the Premises shall be performed by Tenant using contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and shall be at Tenant’s sole expense and at such times and in such manner as Landlord may approve. Any mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien for which Landlord has received a notice of intent to file or which has been filed against the Premises arising out of work done for, or materials furnished to Tenant, shall be discharged, bonded over, or otherwise satisfied by Tenant within ten (10) days following the earlier of the date Landlord receives (1) notice of intent to file a lien or (2) notice that the lien has been filed. If Tenant fails to discharge, bond over, or otherwise satisfy any such lien, Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense, and the amount expended by Landlord, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, shall be due and payable immediately with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date of the payment by Landlord until Landlord receives payment from Tenant. If Tenant fails to comply with its maintenance, repair, or replacement obligations in this Section 5.3, Landlord may, in its sole discretion and in addition to any other remedies provided herein, perform said maintenance, repair, or replacement. Any sums so paid by Landlord, together with reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, shall be deemed to be additional Rent owing by Tenant to Landlord and shall be due and payable immediately with interest thereon at ten percent (10%) per annum from the date of the payment by Landlord until Landlord receives payment from Tenant.
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.
Maintenance by Tenant Except for Landlord’s obligations described in Section 12 above and any janitorial services provided by Landlord under Section 9 above, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, will keep and maintain the Premises in good, clean, sanitary, neat and fully operative condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage due to casualty excepted, so as to maintain the condition of the Premises consistent with similar premises in first class buildings in the Market Area, which obligations of Tenant will include, without limitation, the maintenance, repair and replacement of all: (a) interior surfaces of exterior walls and demising walls; (b) interior walls, moldings, partitions and ceilings; (c) carpeting; (d) non-structural interior components; (e) interior windows, plate glass and doors; (f) kitchen or break-room fixtures, appliances and equipment; and (g) Tenant’s personal property situated in the Premises.

Any repairs or replacements performed by Tenant pursuant to this Section must be at least equal in quality and workmanship to the original work, be in accordance with all Laws and comply with Landlord’s sustainability practices, including any third-party rating systems concerning environmental compliance of the Building or Complex, as the same may change from time to time. At the expiration or early termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver up the Premises to Landlord in as good condition as at the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or casualty loss (unless caused by Tenant) excepted.
