Installation and Maintenance Except for the bi‐directional and production metering equipment owned by the City, all equipment on Customer’s side of the delivery point, including the required disconnect device, shall be provided and maintained in satisfactory operating condition by Customer and shall remain the property and responsibility of the Customer. The City will bear no responsibility for the installation or maintenance of Customer’s equipment or for any damage to property as a result of any failure or malfunction thereof. The City shall not be liable, directly or indirectly for permitting or continuing to allow the interconnection of the Facility or for the acts or omissions of Customer or the failure or malfunction of any equipment of Customer that causes loss or injury, including death, to any party.
Repairs and Maintenance Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, will promptly make all replacements (as opposed to repairs and maintenance) of capital items serving the Project in a manner consistent with the standards prevailing from time to time for Comparable Class Buildings, including, but not limited to the roof, foundation and structural elements of the Buildings, the HVAC system, major elevator components and the main equipment and systems providing services to the Project including without limitation, the Project-wide sprinkler systems, mechanical, electrical, life safety and plumbing systems, elevators, the fire alarm systems and repaving of the Parking Area, unless the need for any such replacement is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees, or contractors, or breach of this Lease by Tenant, in which event Tenant will bear the cost of such repairs to the extent as provided in this Lease. In no event will Landlord be liable to Tenant for failure to make any required replacement unless written notice of the need for such replacement has been delivered by Tenant to Landlord and Landlord shall fail to make such replacement within a reasonable period after receipt of such notice. If Landlord fails to perform a required replacement or fails to repair a warranted item within a reasonable period after receipt of notice as set forth above, and such failure causes the Project to be without an essential building service (such as electricity or HVAC but not to include elevators) which renders all or any portion of the Premises untenantable for five (5) consecutive business days, and so long as the correction of the problem is within Landlord’s reasonable control, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent (in proportion to the area so untreatable) until such essential service is restored. If such failure aggregates to a total of forty-five (45) days in any twelve (12) month period, and so long as the correction of the problem is within Landlord’s reasonable control, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease. Landlord will consult with Tenant regarding the need for replacement of capital items. In the event of a dispute between Landlord and Tenant as to whether a particular item is a capital replacement to be made by Landlord (or whether such item is not in need of replacement and is instead part of Tenant’s repair and maintenance of capital items), which dispute is not resolved by the parties within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord of the Tenant’s request for such replacement, then, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each select an independent disinterested engineer, which engineers shall mutually determine (within ten (10) days) whether the item in question is a capital replacement to be made by Landlord or whether such item is not in need of replacement and is instead part of Tenant’s repair and maintenance of capital items. The losing party shall bear the costs of both engineers. If the engineers cannot agree, then the engineers shall mutually select a third independent disinterested engineer. Such third engineer shall then (within ten (10) days) make its determination whether the item in question is a capital replacement or whether such item is not in need of replacement and is instead a repair and maintenance item, whose decision shall be final and binding. The losing party shall pay the fees and costs of such third engineer. At a minimum, each of the engineers shall be disinterested engineers, with substantial experience in the Miami-Dade County commercial real estate office market. Except for the specific capital items to be replaced by Landlord as described above and the items warranted by Landlord as described above , Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will repair and maintain (and replace if necessary) the Project (including, without limitation, all furniture, trade fixtures and equipment of Tenant, all areas devoted to corridors, elevator lobbies, restrooms, mechanical rooms, janitorial closets, electrical and telephone closets, vending areas, lobby areas, refuse dumpsters, loading docks and other similar facilities, Building stairs, Building elevator shafts, elevator mechanical rooms, fire towers, Building electrical, mechanical and telephone rooms, electrical, communications and mechanical chases, projections, flues, vents, stacks, pipe shafts and other vertical penetrations, ducts and chases) in a clean, attractive and safe condition and in a manner consistent with the standards prevailing from time to time in Comparable Class Buildings, except as to reasonable wear and tear. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant will surrender and deliver the Premises to Landlord in a similar condition in which they existed at the commencement of this Lease excepting reasonable wear and tear and damage arising from either an insurable casualty or any cause not required to be repaired by Tenant. Tenant shall be obligated to repair any damage incurred in connection with any removal of Tenant’s furniture, equipment or other personal property by Tenant or its agents, representatives or employees, provided that Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any damage to any area which Landlord has notified Tenant in writing that it intends to refurbish or remove in connection with renovation of the Project for re-letting. This Section shall not apply in the case of damage or destruction by fire or other casualty which is covered by insurance maintained by Landlord or Tenant on the Project (as to which Section 15 hereof shall apply) or damage resulting from an eminent domain taking (as to which Section 17 hereof shall apply). To the extent possible, Landlord will assign to Tenant the benefit of any manufacturer’s warranties and guaranties with respect to the items installed by Landlord but to be maintained by Tenant regarding the Project. Landlord will obtain the warranties and guaranties as may be expressly required in the final approved Construction Documents for the Premises. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to cause Tenant to be a third party beneficiary of Landlord’s construction contract with its general contractor.
