Use of Common Areas Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right (in common with other tenants and all others to whom Landlord has granted or may grant such rights) to use the Common Areas for the purposes intended, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may establish from time to time. Tenant shall abide by such rules and regulations and shall use its best effort to cause others who use the Common Areas with Tenant's express or implied permission to abide by Landlord's rules and regulations. At any time, Landlord may close any Common Areas to perform any acts in the Common Areas as, in Landlord's judgment, are desirable to improve the Project. Tenant shall not interfere with the rights of Landlord, other tenants or any other person entitled to use the Common Areas.
Maintenance of Common Areas Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas in good order, condition and repair and shall operate the Project and Park, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, as a first-class industrial/commercial real property development. Tenant shall pay, on a monthly basis, Tenant’s Pro-Rata Share (as determined below) of the costs specified below and incurred by Landlord for the operation and maintenance of the Common Areas in the manner stated in Section 4.05(e). Common Area costs include, but are not limited to, costs and expenses for the following: the emergency generator gardening and landscaping; utilities, water, storm water and sanitary sewage charges; maintenance of signs (other than tenants’ signs); premiums for liability, property damage, fire and other types of casualty insurance on the Common Areas and all Common Area improvements; all Real Property Taxes levied on or attributable to the Common Areas and all Common Area improvements; all personal property taxes levied on or attributable to personal property used in connection with the Common Areas; straight-line depreciation on personal property owned by Landlord which is consumed or used in the operation or maintenance of the Common Areas; rental or lease payments paid by Landlord for rented or leased personal property used in the operation or maintenance of the Common Areas; fees for required licenses and permits; repairing, resurfacing and repaying, striping or restriping, maintaining, painting, lighting, cleaning, refuse removal, security and similar items; sales taxes; business and occupations taxes; and a reasonable fee to Landlord for Landlord’s supervision of the Common Areas and Project management (not to exceed three percent (3%) of the Base Rents of the Project for the calendar year). Landlord may cause any or all of such services to be provided by third parties and the cost of such services shall be included in Common Area costs. Common Area costs shall not include depreciation of real property which forms part of the Common Areas. The parties acknowledge and agree that the costs for maintaining the emergency generator shall be divided pro-rata among the four buildings to which it is connected.

Common Areas Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the Rules and Regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas.” The term “Project Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project designated as such by Landlord or areas within the Project that the occupants of the Building are permitted to utilize pursuant to a recorded declaration and which areas shall be maintained in accordance with the declaration. The term “Building Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to the Rules and Regulations as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas, provided that, in connection therewith, Landlord shall perform such closures, alterations, additions or changes in a commercially reasonable manner and, in connection therewith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any material interference with Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises.
Alterations, Additions, and Improvements Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements which affect the structure of the Building or which decrease the square footage of the Building or which reduce the value of the Premises, in each case without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the above, and provided Tenant complies with all Legal Requirements in connection therewith, Tenant shall have the right at all times to make all other alterations, additions or improvements to the Building without Landlord’s prior written approval. Tenant shall not be required to restore any alterations or additions permitted under this paragraph to the Premises or remove improvements at the end of the Term. All alterations, additions and improvements permitted under this paragraph or consented to in writing by Landlord are referred to as “Permitted Alterations”. All alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant which are permanently attached to and made part of the Premises shall become the property of Landlord at the expiration of the Term, except for signs, trade fixtures, furnishings, machinery and equipment used in or on the Premises and furnished by Tenant which Tenant may remove, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises caused thereby (reasonable and ordinary wear and tear excepted). For federal income tax purposes, Tenant’s signs, trade fixtures and furnishings are defined herein as equipment. Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant for use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien against the Premises or any interest therein.
