<br />
<br />a. The Lessor shall, except as otherwise specified herein and except for damage resulting from the negligence of Postal Service
<br />agents or employees, maintain the demised premises, including the building and any and all equipment, fixtures, and
<br />appurtenances, whether severable or non-severable, furnished by the Lessor under this Lease, in good repair and tenantable
<br />condition. For the purpose of so maintaining said premises and property, the Lessor may at reasonable times, and upon reasonable
<br />notice to the facility manager, enter and inspect the same and make any necessary repairs thereto. Additionally, the Lessor shall
<br />designate maintenance repairmen for electrical emergencies, plumbing emergencies and for heating, ventilating and air conditioning
<br />and other emergencies (windows, doors, locks and other elements), who may be called by the Postal Service in the event of any
<br />emergency situation involving maintenance when the Lessor or the Lessor's agent cannot be contacted within a reasonable time.
<br />
<br />b. ELECTRONIC SECURITY AND SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT (ESS)
<br />
<br />Notwithstanding the above, the Postal Service shall assume the responsibility for all maintenance and repair of Electronic Security
<br />and Surveillance equipment ("ESS") at the demised premises, whether installed by the Lessor, the Postal Service, or a third party.
<br />ESS includes: Intrusion Detection System (IDS); Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), including theft prevention systems; Closed
<br />Circuit Television (CCTV); and associated wiring, hardware, and installation materials. Lessor shall not attempt any maintenance or
<br />repair of, or otherwise interfere with, such ESS systems.
<br />
<br />c. Lessor is responsible for inspection, prevention and eradication of termites and any other wood eating insects and for repairs of
<br />any damage resulting therefrom.
<br />
<br />d. Lessor shall repaint the interior (including but not limited to the walls and ceilings) and exterior at least once every five (5) years
<br />(unless the five (5) year period is specifically extended in writing by the Contracting Officer) and at any other time that painting may
<br />become necessary as a result of fire or other casualty.
<br />
<br />e. If a heating system is furnished by Lessor under this Lease, such system must be maintained by Lessor at all times so as to be
<br />capable of providing a uniform temperature of at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit in all enclosed portions of the demised premises.
<br />
<br />1. If air-conditioning equipment is furnished by Lessor under this Lease, such equipment must be maintained by Lessor at all times
<br />so as to be capable of maintaining a uniform temperature of no greater than 78 degrees Fahrenheit in all enclosed portions of the
<br />premises.
<br />
<br />g. Any heating boilers, hot water supply boilers, unfired pressure vessels, elevators, escalators and dumbwaiters provided by
<br />Lessor as part of the leased premises or operated by the Lessor in conjunction with the leased premises, shall be operated and
<br />maintained by the Lessor in accordance with ANSI/ASME A17.1, Safety Code for Elevators, Escalators, Dumbwaiters, and Moving
<br />Walks; ANSI/ASME A17.2, Elevator Inspectors Manual; ANSI/ASME A17.3, Safety Code for Existing Elevators and Escalators;
<br />ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code: National Electric Code; and/or AS ME Safety Code No. CSD-1, Controls and Safety
<br />Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers, as applicable, or as required by local ordinances. Current safety certificates issued by an
<br />organization recognized by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors or a federal, state or municipal authority
<br />which has adopted the American National Standard Institute/American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ANSI/ASME) Boiler and
<br />Vessel Code, must be provided by the Lessor for boilers and unfired pressure vessels. Current safety certificates for elevators,
<br />dumbwaiters and escalators must be issued by an organization authorized to inspect in accordance with the ANSI/ASME Safety
<br />Code for Elevators, Dumbwaiters and Escalators or appropriate federal, state or municipal authority. In the event local jurisdictions
<br />do not require periodic inspection of such equipment, the Postal Service shall have the right to conduct inspections in accordance
<br />with the aforesaid codes, and may issue safety certificates as appropriate.
<br />
<br />h. Whenever there is a need for maintenance or a repair which is the Lessor's obligation under this Maintenance Rider or for
<br />restoration of the premises or any part thereof to a state of good repair and tenantable condition, the Postal Service shall give the
<br />Lessor written notice thereof, specifying a time for completion of the work which is reasonable and commensurate with the nature of
<br />the work required. A copy of any such notice shall be sent by certified or registered mail to the Lessor's mortgagee and any
<br />assignee of monies due or to become due under this Lease whose names and addresses have been furnished to the Postal Service
<br />by the Lessor. If the Lessor (or the mortgagee or the assignee, on behalf of the Lessor) fails to prosecute the work with such
<br />diligence as will ensure its completion within the time specified in the written notice (or any extension thereof as may be granted at
<br />the sole discretion of the Postal Service) or fails to complete the work within said time, the Postal Service shall have the right to
<br />perform the work by contract or otherwise and withhold the cost thereof (which may include administrative cost and/or interest) from
<br />payments due or to become due Linder this Lease. In addition, the Postal Service may proportionally abate the rent for any period
<br />the premises, or any part thereof, are determined by the Postal Service to have been rendered untenantable to it by reason of such
<br />condition. Alternatively, the Postal Service may, if the demised premises are determined to be unfit for occupancy, at its sole
<br />discretion, cancel this Lease, without liability.
