Access to the Premises Except as provided by local ordinance, after a good faith effort to give notice, the Lessor, its agents or employees shall have access at all reasonable hours to the leased premises for the purpose of examining or exhibiting the premises to prospective buyers or prospective residents, or for making alterations or repairs on the premises which the Lessor deems necessary. Lessor shall have access at all reasonable hours to perform Lessee requested repairs, unless indicated to the contrary by Lessee. In the event of an emergency, Lessor, its agents or employees shall have immediate access without notice.
Damage to the Premises If the Premises shall, without fault or neglect on the part of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, customers or employees, be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty covered by standard policies of fire and extended coverage insurance and such damage or destruction (exclusive of Tenant’s leasehold improvements) could reasonably be repaired within ninety (90) working days from the happening thereof, then Landlord shall proceed with all reasonable speed to repair such damage or destruction, exclusive of Tenant’s leasehold improvements which shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. If the Premises cannot reasonably be restored within said ninety (90) day period, then Landlord may, but shall not be required to, elect to restore the Premises. If Landlord does not elect to restore the Premises, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such damage or destruction and both parties shall be released from further liability hereunder, without prejudice, however, to any rights accruing to either party prior to the date of such damage or destruction. If Landlord elects or is required to restore the Premises and promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues such restoration, then this Lease shall not terminate, notwithstanding that the actual time required for such repairs or restoration may exceed that contemplated by the parties and Tenant shall be entitled to a temporary reduction in Fixed Minimum Rent, as determined by Landlord, corresponding to the time during which and that portion of the Premises of which Tenant is deprived of possession on account of such damage or destruction or the repair or restoration thereof undertaken by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to receive the full amount of the proceeds of any business interruption insurance for the undiminished Fixed Minimum Rent and there shall be no reduction in Fixed Minimum Rent if such damage or destruction was the result of the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, customers and employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to repair the Premises and Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the Premises are substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause during the last two (2) years of the term of this Lease or if the Building (whether or not Premises are damaged or destroyed) or the Common Areas are substantially destroyed by fire or other cause. If the damage or destruction of the Premises is so minor that the Premises remain fit for occupancy, then Landlord shall repair such damage or destruction as promptly as reasonably possible and there shall be no abatement of Fixed Minimum Rent as a result thereof.
The Premises Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises set forth in Section 2.2 of the Summary (the “Premises”). The outline of the Premises is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, and an outline of the Project is set forth in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto. The parties hereto agree that the lease of the Premises is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of such terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the purpose of Exhibit A is to show the approximate location of the Premises in the “Building,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below, only, and such Exhibit is not meant to constitute an agreement, representation or warranty as to the construction of the Premises, the precise area thereof or the specific location of the “Common Areas,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.3, below, or the elements thereof or of the accessways to the Premises or the “Project,” as that term is defined in Section 1.1.2, below. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall accept the Premises in its presently existing “as-is” condition and Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building or the Project or with respect to the suitability of any of the foregoing for the conduct of Tenant’s business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that base Building electrical, mechanical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning and plumbing systems located in the Premises shall be in good working order and the roof shall be water tight as of the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. Except to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Parties (as defined in Section 10.13 below) by any alterations or improvements performed by or on behalf of Tenant, if such systems and/or the roof are not in good working order as of the date possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant and Tenant provides Landlord with notice of the same within ninety (90) days following the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord shall be responsible for repairing or restoring the same at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Subject to any repairs or restoration required by the immediately preceding sentence, the commencement of business operations from the Premises by Tenant shall presumptively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in good and sanitary order, condition and repair. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises, the Building and the Project have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp).
Landlord’s Property All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Alterations or improvements and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to their condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements or, at Landlord’s election, to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord; provided; however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request by Tenant at the time of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to any Alteration or improvement, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the applicable Alteration or improvement will be required to be removed pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.5. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises and return the affected portion of the Premises to their condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements or, if elected by Landlord, to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Rent shall continue to accrue under this Lease in accordance with Article 16, below, after the end of the Lease Term until such work shall be completed, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such work and to charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien, including but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Leased Premises Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases and takes from Lessor, the Leased Premises subject to the conditions of this Lease.
Subleased Premises Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, the Subleased Premises.
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 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.
Demised Premises The Landlord hereby demises and leases to the Tenant, and the Tenant hereby leases from the Landlord, upon and subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease (which term is used herein shall include all Exhibits attached hereto or referred to herein), the commercial space (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Demised Premises") depicted on Exhibit A hereto annexed and made a part hereof. Said Demised Premises contain approximately six thousand six hundred fifty-one (6,651) square feet of floor area (measuring from (i) the center of the two side demising walls and (ii) the front lease line of the Demised Premises, through the rear wall), commonly known as suite 3800 on level 3 as shown on Exhibit A-1 attached hereto of the multi-level structure (the "Mall Building"), which Landlord has constructed on a parcel of land (the "Shopping Center Site") located in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas. The metes and bounds description of the Shopping Center Site is set forth on Exhibit A-2 annexed hereto and made a part hereof. In the event, within sixty (60) days after commencement of the term of this Lease, either party hereto finds that the actual floor area of the Demised Premises differs by ten (10) square feet or more from the floor area set forth hereinabove and such difference is confirmed by Landlord's independent architect (which confirmation shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant absent bad faith or manifest error on the part of Landlord's architect), Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the actual floor area, and proportionately changing Tenant's monetary obligations, including Minimum Rent, based upon the ratio of the actual floor area of the Demised Premises to the floor area set forth hereinabove. The term "
Landlord Improvements Landlord will construct a laboratory build-out for the Premises ("Landlord Improvements") pursuant to plans submitted by Landlord to Tenant and reasonably approved by Tenant ("Plans"), which shall be consistent with the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit "C." The Plans generally shall provide for the Landlord Improvements to be constructed in order to accommodate generally accepted generic biotechnical laboratory uses, except as Landlord may otherwise agree. Unless otherwise determined by Landlord, the Tenant Improvements shall include the construction of an energy efficient electronically controlled central HV/AC plant. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Tenant shall provide to Landlord for Landlord's review and approval the following: (i) a proposed detailed list of equipment for the Premises, with the make, model, and specifications, and (ii) a detailed chemical inventory, with all codes and classifications. Tenant shall provide to Landlord such other information as Landlord may reasonably request for construction of the Landlord Improvements within five (5) days after written request therefor. Tenant shall provide written notice of its disapproval of the Plans within five (5) days after the Plans have been submitted detailing its precise reasons for disapproval. The failure of Tenant to disapprove the Plans in writing within a five (5) day period shall be conclusively deemed Tenant's approval of the Plans. Landlord shall have its architect revise the Plans to remedy any reasonable objections of Tenant, and Tenant shall have an additional five (5) day period to review the revised Plans to reasonably determine if such objections were satisfied; provided, however, Tenant shall make no new objections to the Plans. If there are any reasonable objections not addressed by revised Plans, the review procedure shall be repeated until all Tenant's objections are reasonably satisfied. If Tenant has not fully approved the Plans within sixty (60) days after the date such plans were first submitted to Tenant hereunder, Landlord at its sole election may terminate this Lease. Tenant shall timely sign and submit to Landlord a Certificate of Approval of Tenant Improvement Plans in the form as shown in Exhibit "F" attached to this Lease and incorporated herein by this reference ("Certificate"). In the case where Tenant is deemed to have approved the Plans on account of Tenant's failure to timely respond following the delivery of the Plans, such approval shall be deemed to have been given in accordance with the terms of the Certificate. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may reasonably change the Plans as required by Applicable Law or unforeseen circumstances.
