B. Lessee agrees to perform, at its own cost and expense, all work other than Lessor’s Work, including without limitation that work, as particularly described in Exhibit “E” annexed hereto (“Lessee’s Work”), which is necessary to make the Premises conform with Lessee’s plans as approved by Lessor. Within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Lease, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor, for Lessor’s written approval, plans and specifications for the Lessee’s Work, showing a layout, lighting plan, fixturing plan, interior finish and material samples, and any work or equipment to be done or installed by Lessee affecting any structural, mechanical or electrical part of the Premises or the Building. Failure to provide same within said thirty (30) day period shall constitute a default by Lessee under this Lease. Lessor’s failure to disapprove of Lessee’s plans within fifteen (15) days of receipt shall constitute acceptance by Lessor of such plans. Design elements as aforesaid will be displayed in color renderings in such detail as may be sufficient for Lessor’s needs. It is the purpose of this requirement that Lessee’s Premises be fixtured, designed and laid out so as not to be a detriment to the other tenants in the Building and that Lessee’s Work shall not be detrimental to the Building or other tenants therein, and Lessor’s approval of the plans and specifications as aforesaid for Lessee’s Work shall be at the Lessor’s sole discretion. Lessee agrees and acknowledges that all Lessee’s Work, improvements, alterations or additions performed by Lessee (hereinafter collectively “Alterations”) whether pursuant to this Section or otherwise, shall be carried out in compliance with all Requirements and is performed and accomplished solely for the benefit and convenience of Lessee, and not for the benefit of Lessor, such Alterations being nevertheless subject to each and every of the provisions of this Lease,.
Restoration of Premises Lessee shall conduct all operations on the Leased Premises in such a manner as not to unreasonably damage the portion of the Leased Premises where there will be no mining operations. Lessee shall conduct all operations in such a manner as to observe and comply with all Laws applicable to the Leased Premises and all Laws applicable to the conduct of Lessee’s operations. Lessee expressly agrees to dispose of all tailings and other mining wastes in accordance with all applicable Laws and shall reclaim all of disturbed perimeter portions of any lakes created by mining such that those perimeter portions shall be left at a slope no steeper than four feet horizontal to one foot vertical within three (3) months of termination of the Lease Agreement. By the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease Agreement, Lessee shall grade that portion of the Leased Premises which has been excavated by Lessee or on which Lessee has conducted operations so as to eliminate all unreasonable irregularities therein and so that such portion of the Leased Premises which has been excavated by Lessee conforms to the drawing set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto. Upon completion of the required grading, Lessee shall cover such area with sand, clay, or topsoil, or a mixture of any of the foregoing, from the resources then existing on the Leased Premises, and shall thereafter reseed the surface with a seed mixture approved by Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lessee be required to import any Materials, including but not limited to, sand, clay, or topsoil from off-site for purposes of complying with its restoration obligations in this Section 15. Should this obligation not be met by the end of the term of this Lease Agreement, it shall nevertheless survive and continue beyond the term of this Lease Agreement and shall be an obligation owed by Lessee to Lessor. This obligation is owed by Lessee in addition to any other obligation imposed upon Lessee by this Lease Agreement.
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES a. In the event the Premises are damaged by fire or other perils or casualty covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, repair or rebuild the same within a reasonable time after the event causing such damage. This Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of the rent from the date of damage and while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the damage and making of such repairs shall reasonably interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises as determined by Landlord. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, there shall be no reduction of rent. Landlord may authorize or direct construction of an alternative structure or may elect to retain any insurance proceeds received by it if Landlord deems reconstruction or construction of an alternative structure to be impractical or unreasonable in its sole discretion.
b. In the event the Premises are damaged to any extent as a result of any cause other than the perils covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord shall in its sole discretion have the option to: (1.) to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises within a reasonable time of the event causing the damage, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but the rent shall be proportionately reduced as provided above in 11a. during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration, or (2.) to give notice to Tenant at any time within sixty (60) days after such damage occurs, terminating this Lease as of the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice. In the event of giving to Tenant such notice of termination, this Lease shall terminate and all interests of Tenant in the Premises shall cease on the date so specified in such notice and Tenant shall pay the rent, as proportionately reduced, based upon the extent, if any, to which such damage interfered with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises, up to the date of such termination.
c. With regard to Landlord’s duty or option to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises within a reasonable time of the event causing the damage as provided in 11a. and b. above, Landlord shall act promptly and with due diligence, but Landlord shall not be responsible for delays caused by factors beyond Landlord’s control, including but not limited to delays because of strikes, work slowdowns or stoppages, accidents, acts of God, failure of any governmental or other authority to act in a timely manner, or delays caused by contractors. If such delays occur, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible for damages, nor shall Landlord be deemed to be in default under this Lease.
d. Landlord shall not be required to repair any damage by fire or other casualty, or to make any repair or replacements of any leasehold improvements, fixtures, or other personal property of Tenant.
Delivery; Acceptance of Premises; Commencement Date Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant on or before the Target Commencement Date in the Tenant Improvement Work Readiness Condition for construction by Tenant of the Tenant Improvements (“Delivery” or “Deliver”). If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and this Lease shall not be void or voidable except as provided herein. If Landlord does not Deliver the Premises within 120 days of the Target Commencement Date for any reason other than Force Majeure delays, this Lease may be terminated by Landlord or Tenant by written notice to the other, and if so terminated by either: (a) the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof (i.e., after deducting therefrom all amounts to which Landlord is entitled under the provisions of this Lease), shall be returned to Tenant, and (b) neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Lease, except with respect to provisions which expressly survive termination of this Lease. As used herein, the terms “Tenant Improvements” and “Tenant Improvement Work Readiness Condition” shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the work letter at here to as Exhibit C (the “Work Letter”). If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to void this Lease within 10 business days of the lapse of such 120 day period (as may be extended by Force Majeure delays), such right to void this Lease shall be waived and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that if any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction of the Project, as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States declares or implements any order or mandate that restricts construction activities in San Diego county (any such order or mandate, a “Government Mandate”), then, to the extent such Government Mandate precludes construction of the Core & Shell (as defined in the Work Letter), the Target Commencement Date shall be delayed 1 day for each day that such a Government Mandate remains in effect and continues to preclude such construction of the Core & Shell. 3115 Xxxxxxxxxx/Erasca - Page 3 The “Commencement Date” shall be date that Landlord Delivers the Premises to Tenant in Tenant Improvement Work Readiness Condition. The “Rent Commencement Date” shall be the date that is 180 days after the Commencement Date (which is anticipated to be February 1, 2022, based on the Target Commencement Date of August 1, 2021); provided, however, that the Rent Commencement Date shall be delayed 1 day for each day after the Commencement Date that a Government Mandate that restricts construction activities in San Diego county is in effect to the extent that such Government Mandate precludes such construction of the Tenant Improvements. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment of the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date and the expiration date of the Term when such are established in the form of the “Acknowledgement of Commencement Date” attached to this Lease as Exhibit D; provided, however, Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment shall not affect Landlord’s rights hereunder. The “Term” of this Lease shall be the Base Term, as defined above on the first page of this Lease. Except as set forth in the Work Letter: (i) Tenant shall accept the Premises in their condition as of the Commencement Date; (ii) Landlord shall have no obligation for any defects in the Premises; and (iii) Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Premises and that the Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken. Any occupancy of the Premises by Tenant before the Commencement Date shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, excluding the obligation to pay Base Rent and Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the period of 365 consecutive days after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense (which shall not constitute an Operating Expense), be responsible for any repairs that are required to be made to Building Systems (as defined in Section 13), serving the Premises unless Tenant or any Tenant Party was responsible for the cause of such repair or Tenant was responsible for the construction of such Building Systems as part of the Tenant Improvements, in which case Tenant shall pay the cost. In addition, Tenant shall be entitled to the benefit of any warranties issued to Landlord in connection with the Core & Shell for the terms of such warranties to the extent affecting the Premises. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of all or any portion of the Premises or the Project, and/or the suitability of the Premises or the Project for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises or the Project are suitable for the Permitted Use. This Lease constitutes the complete agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior representations, inducements, promises, agreements, understandings and negotiations which are not contained herein. Landlord in executing this Lease does so in reliance upon Tenant’s representations, warranties, acknowledgments and agreements contained herein.
DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES (A) If, during the term of this Lease, the Leased Premises are totally or partially destroyed by fire or the elements, so as to render the premises wholly unfit for occupancy, or make it impossible in the opinion of a licensed third party arbitrator knowledgeable in the child care business reasonably acceptable to Lessee and Lessor, for Lessee to conduct its business therein, then either Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease from the date of such damage or destruction by giving written notice. The parties agree to use reasonable promptness to obtain the opinion of such licensed third party arbitrator. Upon the giving of such notice, Lessee shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises and all interest therein to Lessor, and in case of any such termination, Lessor may re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises and may dispossess all parties then in possession thereof. If not otherwise terminated, in the event the Leased Premises shall be repaired, restored, and rebuilt by Lessee with the use of insurance proceeds (which Lessor shall cooperate to make available), but otherwise at its own sole cost and expense, within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of destruction (subject to force majuere as set forth in paragraph C hereof, then all rents payable by Lessee shall be abated during the period of repair and restoration to the extent Lessor shall be compensated by the proceeds of rents loss insurance. In no event shall Lessor be required to provide its own money for the repair or restoration of the Leased Premises other than the net proceeds of moneys received by it from any insurance policy or policies covering such loss or damages. Lessee shall be liable for repair of the Leased Premises with all reasonable speed, and the rents shall recommence on the date that the repairs are completed. Lessee shall be under no obligation to so repair during the last five (5) years of the term of the Lease, or as extended, but if Lessee shall desire to rebuild during the last 12 months of the Lease term, Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises conditioned upon Lessee then exercising its next renewal option under the Lease. Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises in the event Lessee rebuilds, except as stated above.
(B) If the damage does not, in the opinion of a licensed third party arbitrator reasonably acceptable to Lessee and Lessor, render the Leased Premises unfit for occupancy, then Lessor agrees that the damage shall be repaired as soon as practicable and in that case, Lessee shall pay full rent during the repair period. All repairs shall be paid for by Lessee out of any insurance proceeds received (which Lessor shall cooperate to make available), but if the insurance proceeds are insufficient to rebuild or repair the Leased Premises according to the original plans and specifications, whether repair or restoration is commenced pursuant to paragraph A or B hereof, then Lessee agrees to pay all additional amounts that are required to rebuild the building in accordance with the original plans and specifications. All improvements or betterments placed by Lessee on the demised premises shall, however, in any event, be repaired and replaced by Lessee at its own expense and not at the expense of Lessor. The purpose of this Article is to require Lessee to carry insurance coverage on the Leased Premises sufficient to rebuild the improvements in the event of damage or destruction. Lessee shall be under no obligation to so rebuild during the last five (5) years of the term, as extended, as the case may be, but if Lessee shall desire to rebuild during the last 12 months of the Lease term, Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises conditioned upon Lessee then exercising its next renewal option under the Lease. Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises in the event Lessee rebuilds, except as stated above. Risk that the insurance company shall be insolvent or shall refuse to make insurance proceeds available shall be with Lessee. The Leased Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt so as to be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction. If the insurance proceeds are less than $100,000 they shall be paid to Lessee for such repair and restoration. If the insurance proceeds are greater than or equal to $100,000 they shall be deposited by Lessee and Lessor into a customary construction escrow at a nationally recognized title insurance company, or at Lessee's option, with Lessor ("Escrowee") and shall be made available from time to time to Lessee for such repair and restoration. Such proceeds shall be disbursed in conformity with the terms and conditions of a commercially reasonable construction loan agreement. Lessee shall, in either instance, deliver to Lessor or Escrowee (as the case may be) satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of completion together with such architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements and other evidence of cost and of payments as the Lessor or Escrowee may reasonably require and approve. If the estimated cost of the work exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), all plans and specifications for such rebuilding or restoration shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lessor.
(C) Lessee shall comply with the time period stated above for restoration of the Leased Premises as set forth in this Article; provided, however, that said period of time shall be extended for a period or periods of time equal to any period or periods of delay caused by strikes, lockouts, fire, or other casualty, the elements, acts of God, delay by or refusal or failure of governmental authorities to grant necessary permits and approvals for the reconstruction of the Leased Premises (Lessee agreeing to use reasonable diligence to procure the same), or other causes other than financial, beyond Lessee's reasonable control or the reasonable control of Lessee's contractor.
Acceptance of the Premises Tenant or its representatives may, at reasonable times, enter upon the Premises during the progress of the work to inspect the progress thereof and to determine if the work is being performed in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.1. Tenant shall promptly give to Landlord notices of any alleged failure by Landlord to comply with those requirements. Landlord’s Work shall be deemed approved by Tenant when Tenant occupies the Premises for the conduct of its business, except for items of Landlord’s Work which are uncompleted or do not conform to Exhibit C and the Final Plans and as to which Tenant shall, in either case, have given written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date as set forth in a punch-list as set forth below. A certificate of completion by Landlord’s architect or engineer and a Certificate of Occupancy shall be evidence that Landlord’s Work has been completed except for items stated in such certificate to be incomplete or not in conformity with Exhibit C and the Final Plans. Within five (5) days after the Town of Burlington issues a temporary Certificate of Occupancy, Landlord and Tenant shall meet for the purpose of determining the work remaining in order for Landlord to achieve a final Certificate of Occupancy, each acting reasonably and in good faith, and to select a subsequent date for a joint walk-through of the Premises in order to prepare a punch-list identifying items of Landlord’s Work which are incomplete (the “Punch-list Items”). Landlord shall cause such Punch-list Items to be completed within thirty (30) days after the preparation of the list by the parties, unless the parties agree upon any longer time periods. If Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of the existence of a latent defect in Landlord’s Work within one year following the Commencement Date, then Landlord at its expense subject to its General Contractor’s warranty will repair such defect. A “latent defect” is a defect in the construction of the Premises which defect would not ordinarily be observed during a walk-through inspection.
Expansion of Premises (a) Effective as of the Expansion Date the Premises (and the definition of the “Premises”) shall be modified to mean and include both the Initial Premises and the Expansion Premises. As a result of such expansion, effective upon the Expansion Date, the deemed square footage of the Premises shall be and become 31,684 square feet and Tenant’s Prorata Share and Tenant’s Share of Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall be one hundred percent (100.00%).
(b) If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant on before August 1, 2012 for the purpose specified in Section 3(c), this Amendment shall not be void or voidable, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay monthly Base Rent or Additional Charges with respect to the Expansion Premises until the day following the date on which possession of the Expansion Premises is delivered to Tenant (such date thereupon becoming the “Expansion Date” for purposes of this Amendment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is unable to deliver the Expansion Premises by August 1, 2012 (as extended day-for-day for each day of Force Majeure Delay) (the “Expansion Premises Outside Delivery Date”), then Tenant shall have the right, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Amendment to Lease by providing written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days following the Expansion Premises Outside Delivery Date, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if the parties had not entered into this Amendment and Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant the August, 2012 Base Rent for the Expansion Premises paid by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(d). For purposes hereof, the failure of the existing tenant of the Expansion Premises to vacate the Expansion Premises shall not be an event of Force Majeure Delay.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be entitled to early occupancy of the Expansion Premises at any time after the Expansion Premises Delivery Date for the sole purposes of (1) installing Tenant’s furniture and telephone and other communications cabling and (2) performing Tenant’s Expansion Work (defined below), provided that (i) Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors will cooperate with Landlord to coordinate the performance and completion of the Landlord’s Expansion Work concurrently with Tenant’s Expansion Work, (ii) Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for delays in completing the Landlord’s Expansion Work which result from, are caused by or arise out of the interference by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors in the performance of the Landlord’s Expansion Work, (iii) Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents and contractors shall promptly comply with any and all requests made by Landlord or Landlord’s contractor(s) that Tenant remove its property from those areas in or around which Landlord is performing the Landlord’s Expansion Work, and (iv) Landlord shall not be liable for, Tenant hereby waives all claims which Tenant may have against the Landlord Parties, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and defend Landlord against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person or property in or about the Expansion Premises resulting from or arising out of or in connection with the performance of Tenant’s Expansion Work (except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord). Tenant’s early occupancy of the Expansion Premises for the sole purpose provided in this Section shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, provided that (x) the Premises shall not include the Expansion Premises until the Expansion Date, and (y) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay monthly Base Rent or Additional Charges with respect to the Expansion Premises for the period from the Expansion Premises Delivery Date until the Expansion Date.
(d) Within five (5) business days after the Expansion Date, the parties shall execute a letter confirming the Expansion Date and certifying that Tenant has accepted delivery of the Premises, in form substantially similar to EXHIBIT “D” attached to the Lease (the “Expansion Date Memorandum”). Either party’s failure to request execution of, or to execute, the Expansion Date Memorandum shall not in any way alter the Expansion Date.
Construction of Tenant Improvements Promptly following approval of the Final TI Working Drawings, Landlord shall apply for and use reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to allow construction of Landlord’s TI Work. Upon receipt of such permits and approvals, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense (subject to the application of the Tenant Improvement Allowance provided in this Workletter, and subject to any other applicable provisions of the Lease or of this Workletter expressly making any specific item of expense or cost the responsibility of Landlord), diligently construct and complete Landlord’s TI Work substantially in accordance with the Approved TI Plans, subject to Unavoidable Delays and Tenant Delays (if any). Such construction shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and shall conform to all applicable governmental codes, laws and regulations in force at the time such work is completed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for compliance of Landlord’s TI Work with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and all similar or related requirements pertaining to access by persons with disabilities, but nothing in this sentence shall be construed to make Landlord responsible for bearing the cost of any such compliance, to the extent the compliance work is reasonably attributable to or related to the particular nature or design of the Tenant Improvements or is for any other reason expressly made Tenant’s cost or responsibility under any applicable provision of the Lease or of this Workletter. Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decide whether and to what extent to use union labor on or in connection with Landlord’s Work, and shall use the TI General Contractor to construct all of Landlord’s TI Work. Landlord and Tenant shall each have a right to approve all subcontractors engaged in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements and to review and approve all competitive bids for any elements of the Tenant Improvements, such approval in each instance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either party.
Maintenance of Premises The Tenant shall at all times during the Term of this Lease, at its sole cost and expense, well, properly and sufficiently repair, maintain and keep the Leased Premises with the appurtenances (including, without restricting the generality of the foregoing, signs and inside and outside plate glass windows and doors, including all overhead or exterior doors to be installed) in good and substantial repair and shall repair, maintain and replace all fixtures and things which at any time during the Term of this Lease are located or erected in or upon the Lease Premises, such repair, maintenance and replacement to be made by the Tenant when, where and so often as need shall be, except for:
(a) repairs required to be made by the Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4.01 hereof; and
(b) reasonable wear and tear; Unless such excepted repairs are necessitated by the acts or omissions of the Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees or licensees. The cost of any repair or replacement required to be made of the Leased Premises as a result of any act or omission of the Tenant, its employees, servants, agents or licensees shall be paid in full by the Tenant. Provided further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Tenant shall make all repairs and replacements to the Leased Premises made necessary by reason of burglary or attempted burglary.
(c) It is understood that the Tenant will organize maintenance for the grounds and maintenance to keep all sidewalks, roadways and parking areas bordering on the Building free of ice and snow and the grass, if any, fronting the Building, cut and properly cared for. All contracts for this maintenance are to be approved by the Landlord in writing and the Tenant will be charged back their proportionate share of these costs as Operating Costs. Any maintenance costs which are shared with other tenants must have prior written approval from the Landlord.
