Tenant Delays A "Tenant Delay” shall be defined as any delay in the design, permitting or performance of the Base Building Work to the extent that such delay is actually caused by any act or, where there is a duty to act under this Lease, any failure to act by Tenant or Tenant's contractors, architects, engineers, or anyone else engaged by or on behalf of Tenant in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvement Work as set forth in this Article III (including, without limitation, any delays resulting from the Approved Tenant Finishes under Section 3.l(C) above) and disclosed to Tenant as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any delays in the completion of the Base Building Work caused by Tenant’s use of non-union labor constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no event shall be deemed a Tenant Delay unless and until Landlord has given Tenant written notice (the "Tenant Delay Notice") advising Tenant: (x) that a Tenant Delay is occurring and setting forth Landlord's good faith estimate as to the likely length of such Tenant Delay; (y) of the basis on which Landlord has determined that a Tenant Delay is occurring; and (z) the actions which Landlord believes that Tenant must take to eliminate such Tenant Delay. No event shall be deemed to be a Tenant Delay unless and until Tenant has failed to rectify the situation causing the Tenant Delay within forty-eight (48) hours after Tenant's receipt of the Tenant Delay Notice (which for the purposes of determining receipt may be delivered by hand to Tenant's Construction Representative, with copies to follow to Tenant at the notice address set forth in Section 1.2 of this Lease within five (5) days thereafter); provided, however, that if Tenant shall fail to eliminate the delay within the aforesaid 48-hour period, then the 48-hour cure period shall be included in the period of time charged to Tenant pursuant to such Tenant Delay Notice (it being understood and agreed that if Tenant shall in fact eliminate the Tenant Delay within the 48-hour cure period, no Tenant Delay shall be deemed to have occurred for the purposes of this Article III). In addition, any delay to the extent caused by (i) Landlord Delay or (ii) subject to the limitations of subsection (D) below, Tenant's Force Majeure (as defined in said subsection (D)) shall not constitute Tenant Delay. Tenant covenants that no Tenant Delay shall delay commencement of the Term or the obligation to pay Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent. The Delivery Dates and/or the date of substantial completion of the Base Building Work, as applicable, shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date when such Delivery Dates and/or date of substantial completion of the Base Building Work, as applicable, would have occurred but for any Tenant Delays, as determined by Landlord in the exercise of its good faith business judgment (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not be construed so as to relieve Landlord of its obligation to actually complete the Base Building Work, notwithstanding the fact that substantial completion may have been deemed to have occurred prior to actual completion as the result of Tenant Delays).
Tenant Delay If the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvement Work is delayed (a “Tenant Delay”) as a result of (a) any failure of Tenant to approve the Construction Pricing Proposal pursuant to Section 2.6 above on or before Tenant’s Approval Deadline; (b) Tenant’s failure to timely approve any matter requiring Tenant’s approval; (c) any breach by Tenant of this Work Letter or the Lease; (d) any request by Tenant for a revision to the Approved Construction Drawings (except to the extent such delay results from any failure of Landlord to perform its obligations under Section 2.7 above); (e) Tenant’s requirement for materials, components, finishes or improvements that are not available in a commercially reasonable time given the anticipated date of Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvement Work as set forth in this Agreement; (f) any change to the base, shell or core of the Premises or Building required by the Approved Construction Drawings; or (g) any other act or omission of Tenant or any of its agents, employees or representatives, then, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, and regardless of when the Tenant Improvement Work is actually Substantially Completed, the Tenant Improvement Work shall be deemed to be Substantially Completed on the date on which the Tenant Improvement Work would have been Substantially Completed if no such Tenant Delay had occurred.
Cost of Tenant Improvements Unless specified otherwise herein, Landlord shall bear and pay the cost of the Tenant Improvements (which cost shall include, without limitation, the costs of construction, the cost of permits and permit expediting, the costs of code compliance work, if such work is required as a result of, or is a condition imposed by appropriate governmental authorities for, construction of the Tenant Improvements, and all architectural and engineering services obtained by Landlord in connection with the Tenant Improvements, the Contractor's fees, Landlord's fee for construction administration in an amount which shall not exceed three percent (3%) of hard costs, utilities, and Landlord's Insurance Costs (including, without limitation, course of construction insurance), from the date of this Work Letter until the Lease Commencement Date up to a maximum of $450,000.00 (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance"). The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be utilized only for building improvements to the Building, and not for signage, furniture costs, any third party consulting or contracting fees, any telecom/cabling costs, or any other purpose. Tenant shall bear and pay the cost of the Tenant Improvements (including but not limited to all of the foregoing fees and costs) in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, if any. The cost of the Tenant Improvements shall exclude the cost of furniture, fixtures and inventory and other items of Tenant's Work (as defined below). Tenant shall have the right to elect to increase the Tenant Improvement Allowance by up to an additional $450,000.00 (the "Additional Allowance"), subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) Tenant shall make such election, if at all, no later than August 15, 1998; (ii) such amount shall be paid to Landlord in equal monthly installments over the seven (7) year Lease Term with interest at 10%, as additional Base Monthly Rent in the manner specified by Article 3 of the Lease; and (iii) the Additional Allowance shall otherwise constitute a part of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions on such Tenant Improvement Allowance provided in this Work Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Lease, Landlord shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the incremental costs incurred by either Landlord or Tenant for asbestos removal within the interior of the Leased Premises required solely as a result of the construction of the Tenant Improvements. 5.
Tenant Improvements Defined As used herein, “Tenant Improvements” shall mean all improvements to the Premises desired by Tenant of a fixed and permanent nature.

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.
