Neutral Construction The parties to this Agreement agree that this Agreement was negotiated fairly between them at arm's length and that the final terms of this Agreement are the product of the parties' negotiations. Each party represents and warrants that it has sought and received legal counsel of its own choosing with regard to the contents of this Agreement and the rights and obligations affected hereby. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly and equally drafting by them, and that the provisions of this Agreement therefore should not be construed against a party or parties on the grounds that such party or parties drafted or was more responsible for the drafting of any such provision(s).
Change Orders Tenant shall have the right, in accordance herewith, to submit for Landlord's approval change proposals subsequent to the completion of the Approved Tenant Improvement Construction Documents (each, a "Tenant Improvement Work Change Proposal"). Landlord agrees to respond to any such Tenant Improvement Work Change Proposal within such time as is reasonably necessary, but no more than five (5) business days, after the submission thereof by Tenant (unless Landlord has previously advised Tenant that a longer time period is reasonably necessary due to the nature and scope of the Tenant Improvement Work Change Proposal, together with Landlord's good faith estimate as to the amount of additional time that will be necessary, or the fact that the information provided by Tenant in the Tenant Improvement Work Change Proposal is insufficient for the purposes of enabling Landlord to make the determination set forth herein), advising Tenant of any items which Landlord in good faith reasonably believes are inconsistent with the design, cost and construction schedule for the Base Building Work, as well as specifying (subject to the terms of Section 5.2 below) whether any alterations, additions or improvements shown in the Tenant Improvement Work Change Proposal must be removed by Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term ("Landlord's Tenant Improvement Work Change Order Response") (it being understood and agreed that Landlord's failure to respond within said five (5) business day period shall be deemed to constitute Landlord's approval of the Tenant Improvement Work Change Proposal and determination that none of the items shown thereon are to be removed by Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term). Tenant shall have the right to then proceed with or withdraw such Tenant Improvement Work Change Proposal within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord's Tenant Improvement Work Change Order Response. If Tenant fails to respond to Landlord's Tenant Improvement Work Change Order Response within such five (5) business day period, such Tenant Improvement Work Change Proposal shall be deemed withdrawn. If Tenant proceeds with such Tenant Improvement Work Change Proposal, then such Tenant Improvement Work Change Proposal shall be deemed to be a part of the Approved Tenant Improvement Construction Documents for the purposes of this Article III.
Initial Construction Landlord shall fully construct the base Building in accordance with the preliminary base building plans, including, without limitation, floor plans, elevations and site plan(s) (collectively, the "PBBP") and Base Building Outline Specifications attached hereto as Exhibits B-1 and B-2, respectively (all of such work being collectively referred to as the "Landlord's Work"). In the event of differences between the PBBP or the Landlord's Plans (as hereinafter defined) and the Base Building Outline Specifications, the Base Building Outline Specifications shall govern and control until the Landlord's Plans (as hereinafter defined) are prepared. A complete set of final base Building plans and construction drawings and specifications, such drawings and specifications to include a detail schedule of core base Building finish items such as, but not limited to, carpets, doors, hardware, ceiling grids/tiles, lavatory fixtures, light fixtures, window blinds, lobby finishes and paint/wall coverings (collectively, the "Landlord's Plans") shall be prepared by Landlord, at its sole cost and expense. Landlord and Tenant agree to work together with Landlord's architect, Symmes Maini and McKex Xxxociates, Inc. in order to achieve a design that meets the standard set forth below. Furthermore, Landlord agrees to use good faith and diligent efforts to deliver the Landlord's Plans to Tenant on or before May 1, 2000. Upon receipt, Tenant shall have seven (7) business days to comment upon the Landlord's Plans. Landlord and Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the Landlord's Plans as soon thereafter as possible. In reaching agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall each approve portions of the Landlord's Plans that are in acceptable form and shall note their respective objections to the portions that are unacceptable to each of them so as to enable Landlord to continue construction and order materials in a timely manner. In the event that Landlord's Plans conform with the PBBP, but Tenant does not approve the Landlord's Plans within seven (7) business days of receipt thereof from Landlord, then the Outside Delivery Date (as hereinafter defined) shall be extended for a number of days equal to the number of Tenant Plan Delay Days, as such term is hereinafter defined. The number of Tenant Plan Delay Days are defined as and shall be calculated by determining the actual number of days as certified by Landlord and its architect that the Term Commencement Date was delayed by such Tenant's failure to approve the Landlord's Plans within the required seven (7) business days. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with written notice of such determination, such notice to include reasonable detail describing the cause of the delay and the number of Tenant Plan Delay Days as certified by Landlord and its architect. If Tenant and Tenant's Architect (as hereinafter defined)
Legal Construction In the event that any one or more of the terms, provisions, or agreements that are contained in this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement shall not affect any other term, provision, or agreement that is contained in this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term, provision, or agreement had never been contained herein.
Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings Tenant shall retain an architect/space planner reasonably and mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant (the “Architect”) to prepare the “Construction Drawings,” as that term is defined in this Section 3.1. The Contractor (as that term is defined in Section 4.1 of this Work Letter) shall provide design-build services from qualified, Landlord-approved mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractors for the preparation of plans and engineering working drawings related to the Improvements. Landlord hereby approves Gensler as the Architect if Tenant decides to select them. Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants designated by Landlord (the “Engineers”) to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, HVAC, lifesafety, and sprinkler work in the Premises, which work is not part of the Base Building, provided that Tenant shall retain the subcontractors designated in Schedule 2 attached hereto for the fire alarm design and programming work (the “Fire Alarm Subcontractor”) and for building management systems (the “BMS Subcontractor”). Landlord hereby approves Gensler as the Engineer if Tenant decides to select them. Should Tenant choose to prepare fully engineered drawings in lieu of the design-build approach described above, then Tenant shall retain the Engineers to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the mechanical, electrical and plumbing work of the Improvements. The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect, the design-build contractors (unless Tenant selects the fully engineered drawings approach described above), the Fire Alarm Subcontractor, the BMS Subcontractor and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.” Landlord hereby approves Gensler and Revel to be the Architect if Tenant selects them. All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications reasonably determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the Base Building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings, and Tenant’s waiver and indemnity set forth in the Lease, as amended, shall specifically apply to the Construction Drawings.
