Maintenance and Repairs. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 1854 and 1864 of the Civil Code of Quebec, the Lessee, at its own expense, shall operate, maintain and keep the Premises including, all facilities, equipment and services, both inside and outside, available to the Lessee exclusively in same good order and condition, both inside and outside, as they would be kept by a careful tenant, and shall promptly make, at its cost, all needed repairs and replacements to the Premises which a careful tenant would make including, without limitation, hot water tank, broken glass (regardless of how broken), lights and ballasts, water, gas, drain and sewer connections, pipes and mains, electrical wiring (should the repairs and replacements to such water, gas, drain and sewer connections, pipes and mains or electrical wiring be due to the Lessee's fault or negligence or that of those for whom it is responsible in law) water closets, sinks and accessories thereof, the non-structural components, such as filters, blowers, etc., of the heating and ventilation, air-conditioning systems, if any, and all equipment belonging to or connected with the Premises or used in its operation.
