Lessee agrees at Lessee’s sole cost and expense to remove and/or abate any friable ACM and to coordinate all work with Lessor. Lessee further agrees to provide Lessor copies of all documents, including sampling, lab work, tests and test results tests related to the ACM and performance of the work.

 

Any renovation or alteration performed by Lessee impacting or potentially impacting ACM requires the prior written approval of the USPS Contracting Officer and in the event of such approval Lessee shall coordinate all work with the Lessor. In performance of any work that impacts or potentially impacts ACM, Lessee shall comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, as well as all USPS requirements, including USPS asbestos policies, plans, management instructions, and environmental policies (“ Lessor Asbestos Requirements”). Lessee must keep complete records of all such activity, and transfer them to Lessor at the termination of the Outlease.

 

Lessee agrees to require its contractor to act only in accordance with Lessor Asbestos Requirements. Should Lessee or any contractor providing services to or at the Premises have any questions or concerns regarding Lessor’s Asbestos Requirements, Lessee shall contact Lessor prior to undertaking any action at the Premises.

 

Lessee hereby indemnifies, releases, and holds harmless Lessor from any and all claims, losses, etc. in any way arising out of any work or activity performed related to this Paragraph 24.

In no event shall Lessor be liable to Lessee, its invitees, or other third parties for any damages or losses based on its failure to provide access to the Premises in the case of such emergency. However, to the extent that Lessor is unable to provide uninterrupted access to the Lessee during its Building Normal Operating Hours, the Lessee may be entitled to a rent abatement that is proportionate to the amount of time during which its access is so interrupted, unless such interruption is due to fire or other casualty, Acts of God, acts of a public enemy, riot or insurrection, vandalism, or other similar events or due to the negligent act or omission of Lessee, its agents, contractors, invitees, licensees, or employees.

 

34. Holding Over: If Lessee occupies the Premises beyond the Outlease Term or any properly exercised Renewal Term, without Lessor's written consent ("Hold Over"), Lessee shall be deemed to occupy the Premises on a month to month basis, terminable by either party on thirty (30) days written notice to the other party and all of the terms and provisions of this Outlease shall be applicable during that period, except that Lessee shall pay Lessor a monthly rental rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly rent applicable hereunder at the expiration of the previous Outlease Term or applicable Renewal Term, prorated for the number of days of such holding over. If Lessee refuses to vacate after receiving a notice of termination as provided in this paragraph, Lessee shall be deemed a Lessee at sufferance and Lessor may use self-help, or may institute a forcible detainer or similar action against Lessee or any other party in possession of the Premises, or pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity.
