If any of the following events shall occur, to-wit: (i) if any installment of Fixed Base Rent, Percentage Rent, or any other sums required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, or any part thereof, shall at any time be in arrears and unpaid for ten (10) days after the date due, or (ii) if there be any default on the part of the Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the other covenants, agreements or conditions of said Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed and said default shall continue for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant (unless such default cannot reasonably be cured within fifteen (15) days and in such case, Tenant shall have commenced to cure said default within said fifteen (15) days and thereafter continues diligently to pursue to completion the curing of same) or (iii) if Tenant shall file a petition in bankruptcy or be adjudicated a bankrupt, or file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation, or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iv) if any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties shall be appointed in any action, suit or proceeding by or against Tenant and such proceeding or action shall not have been dismissed within thirty (30) days after such appointment, or (v) if the leasehold estate hereby created shall be taken by execution or by other process of law, or (vi) if Tenant shall fail to operate and conduct business as required in Section 8 hereinabove, then, in any such event, Landlord, at Landlord's option and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any other right or remedy Landlord may have on account of any default by Tenant, may either:
Waiver by Tenant Tenant waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord’s failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition, and repair.
Notice by Tenant Tenant shall give immediate notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the building of which the Premises are a part or of defects therein or in any fixtures or equipment.
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.
Indemnity by Tenant To the extent permitted by Law, Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to protect, defend and hold the Indemnitees harmless, against any and all actions, claims, demands, liability, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses for the defense thereof, arising from Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, from the undertaking of any Tenant Additions or repairs to the Premises, from the conduct of Tenant’s business on the Premises, or from any breach or default on the part of Tenant in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or from any willful act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors, servants, employees, customers or invitees, in or about the Premises or the Property or any part of either. In case of any action or proceeding brought against the Indemnitees by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant covenants to defend such action or proceeding by counsel chosen by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion. Landlord reserves the right to settle, compromise or dispose of any and all actions, claims and demands related to the foregoing indemnity. The foregoing indemnity shall not operate to relieve Indemnitees of liability to the extent such liability is caused by the willful and wrongful act of Indemnitees. Further, the foregoing indemnity is subject to and shall not diminish any waivers in effect in accordance with Section 16.04 by Landlord or its insurers to the extent of amounts, if any, paid to Landlord under its “All-Risks” property insurance.
Maintenance by Tenant Tenant shall keep the Premises, including all windows, signs, and sidewalks, service ways, loading areas adjacent to the Premises, landscaping and irrigation systems (if any), and all paved surfaces and parking lots (including striping of the parking lot and preventing potholes and other surface inadequacies based on the intended purpose of such paved surfaces and parking lots) in good, clean, rubbish-free condition, free from waste and nuisance at all times, reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted. Tenant shall, subject to Landlord's maintenance responsibilities provided for above, make all needed repairs, including without being limited to, maintenance of all direct utility connections and replacement of any cracked or broken windows or other glass. Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, keep in good working condition the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems, the sprinkler system, if any, and the water heater, maintaining, repairing, and replacing such items as may be necessary from time to time, reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted. Tenant shall comply at its sole cost and expense with all governmental laws, ordinances, and regulations which must be complied with by reason of the nature of the use of the Premises by Tenant, except that Tenant shall not be obligated to make any structural changes or alterations to the Premises in order to comply therewith unless made necessary by the negligent act or omission of Tenant, in which event Tenant shall comply at its expense in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord. If any repairs or replacements required to be made by Tenant hereunder are not made within fifteen (15) days after written notice delivered to Tenant by Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, make such repairs or replacements without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage which may result to its stock or business by reason of such repairs or replacements, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand as additional rental hereunder the cost of such repairs and replacements, plus interest at a rate equal to the lower of eight percent (8%) per annum, or the maximum rate permitted by the usury laws of the State of Texas, from the date of payment by Landlord until Landlord is repaid by Tenant.
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 deliver to the Landlord certificates of such fire insurance policies, which shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give the Landlord ten (10) days notice of cancellation of such policies.
Payment by Tenant Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefor: (i) sums equal to expenditures reasonably made and obligations incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s performance or cure of any of Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.2.3 above; and (ii) sums equal to all expenditures made and obligations incurred by Landlord in collecting or attempting to collect the Rent or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any rights of Landlord under this Lease or pursuant to law, including, without limitation, all legal fees and other amounts so expended. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 19.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
Termination by Tenant In the event that the destruction to the Premises cannot be restored as required herein under applicable laws and regulations within two hundred seventy (270) days of the damage or casualty, notwithstanding the availability of insurance proceeds, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving the Landlord notice thereof within thirty (30) days of date of the occurrence of such casualty specifying the date of termination which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days following the date on which such notice of termination is given. In the event of the giving of such notice of termination, this Lease shall expire and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such notice and the Rent, reduced by any proportionate reduction in Rent as provided for in Section 18.1 above, shall be paid to the date of such termination.
Landlord’s Default Subject to Landlord's right to dispute its obligation in accordance with Section 5.1.5(b), if Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, and any such default shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after Notice thereof with respect to monetary defaults, and thirty (30) days after Notice thereof with respect to non-monetary defaults, from Tenant to Landlord and, subject to Section 19.3, any applicable Facility Mortgagee, or such additional period as may be reasonably required to correct such non-monetary defaults, Tenant may declare the occurrence of a "Landlord Default" under this Agreement by giving Notice of such declaration to Landlord and to such Facility Mortgagee. Thereafter, Tenant may (but shall have no obligation to) cure the same and, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, paralegals' fees and court costs) incurred by Tenant in curing the same. If any such costs and expenses have not been reimbursed to Tenant as of the fifth (5th) day after the Landlord receives Tenant's Notice therefor, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, a late charge computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such reimbursement from the expiration of the applicable cure period to the date of payment thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Agreement for any default by Landlord hereunder or under the Other Leases and no right, for any such default, to offset or counterclaim against any Rent or other charges due hereunder. If Landlord shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Landlord Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the applicable cure period, shall give Notice thereof to Tenant, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor, no Landlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred and Landlord shall have no obligation with respect thereto until final adverse determination thereof; provided, however, that in the event of any such adverse determination, Landlord shall pay to Tenant interest on any disputed funds at the Disbursement Rate, from the date demand for such funds was made by Tenant until the date of final adverse determination and, thereafter, at the Overdue Rate until paid. During the term of the Operating Agreement, Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless against all claims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and paralegals' fees) arising from a Landlord Default under the terms and conditions of this Agreement which shall cause an Event of Default under Section 16.01 of the Operating Agreement or a breach by Landlord of its obligations under the Owner Agreement or the Pooling Agreement. The provisions of this Section 14.2 shall survive the termination, expiration or cancellation of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years.
