By Tenant Tenant shall not make any alterations to or modifications of the Leased Premises or construct any improvements within the Leased Premises until Landlord shall have first approved, in writing, the plans and specifications therefore, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord's consent shall not be required for non-structural interior improvements costing less than $10,000 in any calendar year. Plans are required. All such modifications, alterations or improvements, once so approved, shall be made, constructed or installed by Tenant at Tenant's expense (including all permit fees and governmental charges related thereto), using a licensed contractor first approved by Landlord, in substantial compliance with the Landlord approved plans and specifications therefore. All work undertaken by Tenant shall be done in accordance with all Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner using new materials of good quality. Tenant shall not commence the making of any such modifications or alterations or the construction of any such improvements until (i) all required governmental approvals and permits shall have been obtained, (ii) all requirements regarding insurance imposed by this Lease have been satisfied, (iii) Tenant shall have given Landlord at least five business days prior written notice of its intention to commence such work so that Landlord may post and file notices of non-responsibility, and (iv) if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall have obtained contingent liability and broad form builder's risk insurance in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to cover any perils relating to the proposed work not covered by insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to Article 9. In no event shall Tenant make any modifications, alterations or improvements whatsoever to the Outside Areas or the exterior or structural components of the Building including, without limitation, any cuts or penetrations in the floor, roof or exterior walls of the Leased Premises without Landlord's approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld. As used in this Article, the term "modifications, alterations and/or improvements" shall include, without limitation, the installation of additional electrical outlets, overhead lighting fixtures, drains, sinks, partitions, doorways, or the like.
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.
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.
RE-ENTRY BY LANDLORD If Tenant shall default in the payment of any fixed rent or additional rent or any other sum or charge payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord on any date upon which the sum becomes due, or if this Lease shall expire as in Article 16 hereof provided, Landlord of Landlord's agents and servants may immediately, or at any time thereafter, re-enter into or upon the premises, or any part thereof, in the name of the whole, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, or by force or otherwise, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any persons therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the premises again as and of its first estate and interest therein. The words "re-enter", "re-entry" and "re-entered" as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings. In the event of any termination of this Lease under the provisions of Article 16 hereof or in the event that Landlord shall re-enter the premises under the provisions of this Article 17 or in the event of the termination of this Lease (or of re-entry) by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the fixed rent, additional rent and any other sum or charge payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord up to the time of such termination of this Lease, or of such recovery of possession of the premises by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord damages as provided in Article 18 hereof. In the event of a breach of threatened breach on the part of the Tenant with respect to any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions or conditions on the part of or on behalf of Tenant to be kept, observed or performed, Landlord shall also have the right of injunction. The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may lawfully be entitled at any time, and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for. In the event of (a) the termination of this Lease under the provisions of Article 16 hereof, (b) the re-entry of the premises by Landlord under the provisions of this Article 17, or (c) the termination of this Lease (or re-entry) by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to retain all monies, if any paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as advance rent, security or otherwise, but such moneys shall be credited by Landlord against any fixed rent, additional rent or any other sum or charge due from Tenant at the time of such termination or re-entry or, at Landlord's option, against any damages payable by Tenant under Article 18 hereof or pursuant to law.
ENTRY BY LANDLORD Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon not less than 48 hours advance notice to Tenant to enter the Premises to: (i) inspect them; (ii) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants, or to the ground lessors; (iii) to post notices of nonresponsibility; or (iv) alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building if necessary to comply with current building codes or other applicable laws, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building, or as Landlord may otherwise reasonably desire or deem necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 22, Landlord may enter the Premises at any time, without notice to Tenant, in emergency situations and/or to perform janitorial or other services required of Landlord pursuant to this Lease. Any such entries shall be without the abatement of Rent and shall include the right to take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to Tenant’s business operations in the Premises during any such entry. Subject to Section 6.7 of this Lease, Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. For each of the above purposes, Landlord shall at all times have a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and special security areas designated in advance by Tenant. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to enter without notice and use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises.
Tenant The complete name of every Tenant who will enter this lease with the intention of renting the Landlord’s property as a month-to-month rental is a necessary part of this document’s introduction. (3)
Carried by Lessee Lessee shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a Commercial General Liability policy of insurance protecting Lessee and Lessor (as an additional insured) against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon, involving or arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence with an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises" Endorsement and contain the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion" for damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire. The policy shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an "insured contract" for the performance of Lessee's indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of said insurance required by this Lease or as carried by Lessee shall not, however, limit the liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. All insurance to be carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance carried by Lessor, whose insurance shall be considered excess insurance only.
Carried by Lessor Lessor shall maintain liability insurance as described in Paragraph 8.2(a), in addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee. Lessee shall not be named as an additional insured therein.
