Lessor reserves the right to require that Lessee remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises which are installed by or on behalf of Lessee in violation of these provisions, or which are or become at any time in violation of any laws, ordinances or regulations or represent a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition, within fifteen (15) business days after written notice from Lessor. 2. Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to: (i) install new Lines at the Building, (ii) create additional space for Lines at the Building, and (iii) reasonably direct, monitor and/or supervise the installation, maintenance, replacement and removal of, the allocation and reallocation of available space, if any, for, and the allocation of excess capacity, if any, on, any Lines now or hereafter installed at the Building by Lessor, Lessee or any other party, but Lessor shall have no right to monitor or control the information transmitted through such Lines. If Lessor exercises any such rights, Lessor may charge Lessee for the reasonable costs attributable to Lessee, or may include those costs and all other associated costs in operating expenses. 3. Any Lines not removed by Lessee shall become the property of Lessor without payment by Lessor. If Lessor requests removal of the Lines and Lessee fails to remove such Lines, Lessor may, after twenty (20) days' written notice to Lessee, remove such Lines. Except to the extent arising from the intentional or grossly negligent acts of Lessor or Lessor's agents or employees, Lessor shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Lessor does not warrant that Lessee's use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively called "Line Problems"): (i) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, (ii) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Lessee's requirements, or (iii) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants of the Building, by any failure of the environmental conditions or the power supply for the Building to conform to any requirements for the Lines or any associated equipment, or any other problems associated with any Lines by any other cause. Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Lessee, render Lessor liable to Lessee for abatement of rent, or relieve Lessee from performance of Lessee's obligations under this Lease. Lessor in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other incidental or consequential damage arising from any Line Problems. Unless Lessor requests that Lessee remove the Lines, the Lines shall remain in the Building on termination of this Lease.
