(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 13 and Section 14 hereof, Landlord shall make all necessary roof repairs and structural repairs to the Premises including those repairs and replacements necessary to keep the roof, exterior walls, foundation and structural frame of the Premises in good order and repair and perform such repairs in accordance with customary standards for first-class data centers. Landlord shall initiate all such repairs promptly and to remedy any condition requiring repair by Landlord with due diligence.
(c) If Tenant shall be in default under any of the provisions of this Section 9, Landlord may, after thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant and failure of Tenant to cure during said period unless such default is of such a nature that it cannot with reasonable diligence be cured within said period, then the cure period shall be extended by such period as may be required with the application of reasonable diligence to cure the default, but without notice in the event of an emergency, do whatever is necessary to cure such default as may be appropriate under the circumstances for the account of and at the expense of Tenant. If an emergency exists, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of the situation by phone or other available communication before taking any such action to cure such default. All reasonable sums so paid by Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest at the Lease Default Rate from the date of payment or incurring of the expense, shall constitute Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.
(d) If Landlord shall be in default under any of the provisions of this Section 9, Tenant may, after thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord and failure of Landlord to cure during said period unless such default is of such a nature that it cannot with reasonable diligence be cured within said period, then the cure period shall be extended by such period as may be required with the application of reasonable diligence to cure the default, but without notice in the event of an emergency, do whatever is necessary to cure such default as may be appropriate under the circumstances for the account of and at the expense of Landlord. If an emergency exists, Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to notify Landlord of the situation by phone or other available communication before taking any such action to cure such default. All reasonable sums so paid by Tenant and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, together with interest at the Lease Default Rate from the date of payment or incurring of the expense, shall constitute amounts payable by Landlord under this Lease and shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant on demand.
(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall additionally perform, at its cost and expense, all maintenance, repair, and replacement obligations hereunder relating to any of the Building’s systems, the Building’s elevators, the Utility Infrastructure, or the Critical Fixtures and Equipment. In addition, in connection with Tenant’s maintenance, repair, and replacement obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall at its own cost and expense enter into regularly scheduled preventative maintenance service contracts, with vendors, approved by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, for servicing all Building systems, Utility Infrastructure, elevators, and Critical Fixtures and Equipment. Tenant shall cause such maintenance contracts to designate Landlord a third (3rd) party beneficiary, with the right to receive all notices delivered under such contracts, and the ability to exercise Tenant’s rights thereunder upon Tenant’s default under this Section 9 or upon Tenant’s default under an applicable maintenance contract.

All reasonable sums paid by Tenant in taking such actions as are permitted by the provisions of Section 9(f) above shall be paid by Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s demand therefor. After the emergency has ended, any repair required of Landlord under this Lease shall be made by Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease and any repair required of Tenant under this Lease shall be made by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
USE AND MAINTENANCE (a) Lessee shall (1) use the Equipment solely in the continental United States and in the conduct of its business, for the purpose for which the Equipment was designed, in a careful and proper manner, and shall not permanently discontinue use of the Equipment; (2) operate, maintain, service and repair the Equipment, and maintain all records and other materials relating thereto, (A) in accordance and consistent with (i) the Supplier’s recommendations and all maintenance and operating manuals or service agreements, whenever furnished or entered into, including any subsequent amendments or replacements thereof, issued by the Supplier or service provider, (ii) the requirements of all applicable insurance policies, (iii) the Supply Contract, so as to preserve all of Lessee’s and Lessor’s rights thereunder, including all rights to any warranties, indemnities or other rights or remedies, (iv) all applicable laws, and (v) the prudent practice of other similar companies in the same business as Lessee, but in any event, to no lesser standard than that employed by Lessee for comparable equipment owned or leased by it; and (B) without limiting the foregoing, so as to cause the Equipment to be in good repair and operating condition and in at least the same condition as when delivered to Lessee hereunder, except for ordinary wear and tear resulting despite Lessee’s full compliance with the terms hereof; (3) provide written notice to Lessor not less than thirty (30) days after any change of the location of any Equipment (or the location of the principal garage of any Equipment, to the extent that such Equipment is mobile equipment) as specified in the Schedule; and (4) not attach or incorporate the Equipment to or in any other property in such a manner that the Equipment may be deemed to have become an accession to or a part of such other property.
(b) Within a reasonable time, Lessee will replace any parts of the Equipment which become worn out, lost, destroyed, damaged beyond repair or otherwise unfit for use, by new or reconditioned replacement parts which are free and clear of all Liens and have a value, utility and remaining useful life at least equal to the parts replaced (assuming that they were in the condition required by this Lease). Any modification or addition to the Equipment that is required by this Lease shall be made by Lessee. Title to all such parts, modifications and additions to the Equipment immediately shall vest in Lessor, without any further action by Lessor or any other person, and they shall be deemed incorporated in the Equipment for all purposes of the related Schedule. Unless replaced in accordance with this Section, Lessee shall not remove any parts originally or from time to time attached to the Equipment, if such parts are essential to the operation of the Equipment, are required by any other provision of this Lease or cannot be detached from the Equipment without materially interfering with the operation of the Equipment or adversely affecting the value, utility and remaining useful life which the Equipment would have had without the addition of such parts. Except as permitted in this Section, Lessee shall not make any material alterations to the Equipment.
(c) Upon forty-eight (48) hours’ notice, Lessee shall afford Lessor and/or its designated representatives access to the premises where the Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting such Equipment and all applicable maintenance or other records relating thereto at any reasonable time during normal business hours; provided, however, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, no notice of any inspection by Lessor shall be required. If any discrepancies are found as they pertain to the general condition of the Equipment, Lessor will communicate these discrepancies to Lessee in writing. Lessee shall then have thirty (30) days to rectify these discrepancies at its sole expense. Lessee shall pay all expenses of a re-inspection by Lessor’s appointed representative, if corrective measures were required.
