Lessee shall give Lessor prompt notice of any defective condition in the Leased Premises, which Lessor is required to repair or replace. Lessor shall remedy the condition with due diligence but at the expense of Lessee if repairs are necessitated by damage or injury attributable to Lessee, Lessee's servants, agents, employees, invitees, or licensees as aforesaid. All repair work and/or modifications made to the Leased Premises must be made by licensed and bonded contractor(s) approved by Lessor.

The Lessee agrees to supply a copy of the maintenance agreement to the Lessor and shall at all times during the term of the Lease keep in full force a HVAC maintenance agreement. If Lessee fails to enter into a maintenance agreement as herein provided, Lessor, at Lessor's option, may elect to enter into a reasonable service contract for the periodic professional inspection and maintenance of all the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment serving the Building and Lessee shall pay its allocated share of the cost of the service contract. Lessor agrees that during the Lease Term it will keep the exterior and structural parts of the Building in good condition and repair, and that it will make such repairs promptly as they become necessary.

Lessor shall make such interior replacements as are necessitated by building equipment failure and repairs and replacements necessitated by fire or perils covered by extended coverage clauses (whether or not caused by the active or passive negligence of the Lessee) for which damage or loss insurance is carried by the Lessor and for which insurance proceeds are recovered, including interior reconstruction and/or redecorating necessitated by such fire or other perils. Lessor represents that, to the best of its knowledge, there is neither currently nor has there been any release or discharge of any hazardous substances in or around the Leased Premises or the Building/Center. Lessee will keep the interior of the Leased Premises clean and will not improperly or unlawfully release, store, handle, or dispose of any refuse, trash or hazardous materials or contaminants in the Leased Premises or in or around the Building of which the Leased Premises form a part. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor and appropriate governmental agencies and authorities having jurisdiction if a release of such materials occurs, and shall take complete corrective action to clean and remove the material and restore the Leased Premises in compliance with procedures established by such authorities, and shall provide appropriate evidence of compliance. Lessee agrees to hold Lessor harmless of and from any losses, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities, public or private, arising directly or indirectly as a result of such release or contamination and such indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease.
