    4. Possession and Delivery.  The Space is accepted by Member in its “as-is” “where-is” condition and configuration.  If, for any reason, Host is unable to provide use of the Space at the anticipated Start Date, you agree that the Term shall be automatically postponed until possession becomes available.  Host’s failure to deliver possession of the Space shall not subject Host to any liability for loss or damage, nor shall it affect the validity of this Agreement.  If Host does not deliver possession of the Space by the anticipated Start Date, Member shall have the right to cancel this Agreement as provided with no penalty and be entitled to a full refund of amounts paid.
    5. Workspace Use and Access.  You agree to use the Space provided to you as part of the Services for general office purposes only and you may not use the Space to carry out any illegal activities or use the Space (A) in violation of law, or the House Rules, or (B) for any immoral, unlawful, or objectionable purposes.  Further, you shall not use or permit the usage of any illegal drug or substance in the Space or in the Building and shall not make or permit any unreasonable or unnecessary noises or odors in or upon the Space or the Building.  You shall not commit, or suffer to be committed, any waste upon the Space or any nuisance (public or private) or other act or thing of any kind or nature whatsoever that may disturb the quiet enjoyment or cause unreasonable annoyance of any other occupants in the Building.  You agree not to exceed the Maximum Occupancy of the Space.  You shall not make alterations, additions or improvements to the Space, including the installation of lighting or any phone or data lines.  You shall not generate, store, install, dispose of or otherwise handle any hazardous materials in the Space, or in or around the Building, in any manner contrary to any applicable law.  You shall be liable for the costs of any removal, clean-up and/or remediation of any hazardous materials released by you or your Invitees.  You agree that Host has the right at any time to require that you relocate to another Space in the same Building of equal or larger size for the remainder of the Term, provided that the Fees for such new workspace are no greater than the Fees for your current Space.  Host or its authorized representatives may enter the Space at any time and such access rights shall not give rise to any decrease or abatement of Fees or Taxes. Unless there is an emergency, Host will, as a matter of courtesy, try to inform you in advance when Host needs access to the Space to carry out testing, repair or work other than routine inspection, cleaning and maintenance.  Repair work shall be done solely at the discretion of Host and the failure of Host, for any reason, to furnish any maintenance or repairs shall not render Host liable to you, constitute a constructive eviction, or give rise to a refund or abatement of Fees.  You shall not cause or permit any lien to be placed on the Space, the Building or the land underlying the Building.  Any such lien shall be discharged by you within 10 days of you becoming aware of such lien.

At the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, you must deliver the space and all Host Personal Property to Host in good condition, normal wear and tear excepted. If any damage (beyond normal wear and tear) to the Space or Host Personal Property should occur while in your care, custody or control, you agree to pay reasonable repair/replacement costs and to notify Host immediately upon discovery of such damage occurring, but no later than 8 hours later. You are liable for any damage caused by you or your Invitees to the Space, the Common Areas, Host Personal Property or the Building.  YOU DISCLAIM AND WAIVE ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO HOST PERSONAL PROPERTY, BOTH EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
