Alterations by Tenant Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises without the written consent of Landlord. The kinds of alterations, additions or improvements referred to are those, which are of a more or less permanent nature, such as new floors, partitions, wallpaper and paneling. If consent of Landlord is given, then any or all such alterations, additions or improvements, may, if Landlord wishes, become the property of Landlord at the end of the term of the Lease. However, if Landlord wishes, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any or all of such alterations, additions or improvements at the end of the term of the Lease and restore the Premises to the condition it was in when the term of this Lease began fair wear and tear excepted. If initialed by Landlord here , Tenant has Landlord’s express written permission to paint the walls of the interior of the premises. However, Tenant shall be required to return the walls to their original condition by painting the walls to the same color as at the start of the Lease by the last day of the Lease Term. If Tenant does not repaint the walls to the same color as at the start of the Lease upon vacating the premises, Tenant shall be liable for Landlord’s expenses reasonably incurred for repainting the walls the same color as at the start of the Lease, which includes at Landlord’s option, hiring painters to paint the walls, along with the cost of any paint and paint supplies reasonable and necessary. If Landlord and Tenant initial here: (Landlord) (Tenant), then Landlord and Tenant intend and agree there is an Addendum (“Addendum”) attached and incorporated into this Lease outlining customization options or restrictions in greater detail, and both Landlord and Tenant agree to be bound to the terms and conditions contained in the Addendum as additional Terms of this Lease Agreement.
Landlord’s Consent to Alterations Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may adversely affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment in more than a de minimis manner (e.g., the mere tying into Systems shall not be subject to the sole discretion standard) or which can be seen from outside the Building. Tenant shall pay (i) for Alterations performed by Tenant, Landlord’s reasonable third-party costs incurred in connection with reviewing such Alterations, and (ii) for Alterations for which Tenant has engaged Landlord to supervise and Landlord’s contractors to perform, a supervision fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the total cost of such Alteration (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing supervisory fee shall not be due or payable in connection with the Tenant Improvements and the Vivarium improvements and no supervisory fee shall be due or payable in connection with any capital improvements performed by Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Landlord approval shall be required (provided advance notice shall be provided to Landlord) for (a) installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to the Systems, (b) Alterations which could not reasonably be expected to affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment and which cost less than $150,000 for any one (1) job and no more than $300,000 in the aggregate in any calendar year during the Lease Term (excluding any costs for painting, carpeting, and similar purely cosmetic work), (c) Alterations which do not require a building permit, and (d) merely cosmetic work (such as painting and carpeting). The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
LEASE ALTERATIONS The Owner hereby gives power to the Agent to initiate, sign, renew, modify, or cancel rental agreements and leases for the Property, or any part thereof and collect and give receipts for rents, other fees, charges, and security deposits.
Condition of Subleased Premises (a) Subtenant represents that it has made or caused to be made a thorough examination and inspection of the Subleased Premises and is familiar with the condition of every part thereof. Subtenant agrees that, except as expressly provided herein, (i) it enters into this Sublease without relying upon any representations, warranties or promises by Sublandlord, its agents, representatives, employees or any other person in respect of the Building or the Subleased Premises, (ii) no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Subtenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth herein, (iii) Sublandlord shall deliver the Subleased Premises broom-clean and otherwise in the condition which Sublandlord received the Subleased Premises from Prime Lessor and Sublandlord shall have no obligation to do any work in order to make the Subleased Premises suitable and ready for occupancy and use by Subtenant, and (iv) the Subleased Premises are in satisfactory condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant acknowledges receipt from Prime Lessor of a decommissioning report with respect to the Subleased Premises prepared by Ramboll US Corporation and dated March 17, 2020 (the “Decommissioning Report”) and has accepted the results set forth in the Decommissioning Report. Sublandlord represents and warrants to Subtenant that Sublandlord has not physically occupied the Subleased Premises at any time, including from and after the date of the Decommissioning Report.
(b) Subtenant shall keep and maintain the Subleased Premises, the furniture, fixtures and equipment therein (including, without limitation, all laboratory-specific mechanical equipment) clean and in good order, repair and condition, except for reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty or condemnation. To the extent agreed to by Prime Lessor, Subtenant shall be entitled to the benefit of those obligations of Prime Lessor set forth in the Prime Lease as to Prime Lessor’s obligation to maintain Building Systems.
(c) Subtenant shall make no alteration, installation, removal, addition or improvement in or to the Subleased Premises or to any other portion of the Building without the prior written consent of each of Sublandlord and, if required pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease, Prime Lessor, and then, only in compliance fully with the terms of this Sublease and the Prime Lease. Sublandlord may withhold consent in its sole discretion to any alteration, installation, addition or improvement proposed by Subtenant. Sublandlord may require Subtenant to remove any and all alterations, installations, additions or improvements that Subtenant makes to the Subleased Premises upon the expiration or termination of the Term, and to restore the Subleased Premises to its condition prior to such alterations, installations, additions or improvements.
(d) During the Term of the Sublease, and subject to Prime Lessor’s consent, Subtenant may use 0.90 parking spaces in the Technology Square Garage per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Subleased Premises as allocated to Sublandlord pursuant to Section 10 of the Prime Lease. Such parking use by Subtenant shall, subject to Prime Lessor’s consent, be at the same cost per space as charged to Sublandlord from time to time pursuant to the Prime Lease, and such use by Subtenant shall be in accordance with Section 10 of the Prime Lease as amended from time to time and all published rules and regulations of the Landlord and/or the operator of the Technology Square Garage as to such parking use.
Alterations Tenant shall not make any alterations to the Premises, including any changes to the existing landscaping, without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant may make non-structural alterations costing less than $50,000 per event without Landlord's consent. Regardless of whether Landlord's consent for alteration is required, Tenant must provide Landlord at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the commencement of any alteration with a complete description of each such alteration including any building permit drawing(s) and specifications. Landlord may post notices regarding non-responsibility in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Premises are located. All alterations made by Tenant, whether or not subject to the approval of Landlord, shall be performed by Tenant and its contractors in a first class workmanlike manner and permits and inspections shall be obtained from all required governmental entities. Any alterations made shall remain on and be surrendered with the Premises upon expiration or termination of this Lease, except that Landlord may, in connection with Tenant's request for Landlord's approval of any such alteration, elect to require Tenant to remove some or all of the alterations which Tenant may have made to the Premises ("REQUIRED REMOVABLES"). If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall at its own cost restore the Premises to the condition designated by Landlord in its election or pursuant to any prior approval, before the last day of the Term. Should Landlord consent in writing to Tenant's alteration of the Premises, Tenant shall contract with a contractor approved by Landlord for the construction of such alterations, shall secure all appropriate governmental approvals and permits, and shall complete such alterations with due diligence in compliance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord (if required). Tenant shall pay all costs for such construction and shall keep the Premises free and clear of all mechanics' liens which may result from construction by Tenant. Tenant's property shall include, without limitation, Tenant's furniture, furnishings, business machines and equipment, computer conduits, communications equipment and such other property as may be required in the conduct of Tenant's business. Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation (except at the expiration or prior termination of the Term), to remove the same at any time, to finance the purchase thereof, to grant security interests therein and to otherwise encumber same.
Alterations to Premises Tenant shall make no structural or interior alterations to the Premises. If Tenant requests such alterations and such alterations are structural in nature, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with a complete set of construction drawings. If Landlord consents to the alterations, then the Landlord shall determine the actual cost of the work to be done. Tenant may then either agree to pay Landlord to have the work done or withdraw its request for alterations; provided, however, that at Tenant’s request, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to allowing Tenant and/or Tenant’s contractors to perform such work. All such alterations are subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, and notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord agrees to allow Tenant to construct (i) a data center within the Premises and to install equipment (which may include generator, condensers, UPS, etc.) in the Building and around the land surrounding the Building necessary to facilitate the operation of Tenant’s data center, and (ii) an opening in the curtain wall of Floor 1 of Building C, to install two (2) four foot doors within such opening, to improve the outside area for delivery access and to install other improvements (which may include a large dumpster) to the Building and the land surrounding the Building necessary to facilitate the operation of Tenant’s Fulfillment Center. All such alterations shall be performed by Tenant’s contractors (which shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the above paragraph, Tenant shall have the right to make nonstructural and nonsystems related alterations (“Tenant Alterations”) up to a value of $15,000.00 per occurrence (not to exceed $60,000 during any 12-month period) without Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord of its intent to make the Tenant Alterations. Such notice shall include a copy of plans and specifications (if such alterations are of a character that would reasonably require plans and specifications) and copies of all permits, if required by the appropriate municipality, and any contracts for such Tenant Alterations. All Tenant Alterations shall be performed by contractors approved by Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in accordance with all applicable laws and the rules and regulations described in Section 12b.
Tenant’s Alterations (a) Except as hereafter provided, Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements (“Tenant Alterations”) to the Leased Space without the consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. At the time of Landlord’s consent, Landlord shall designate whether Tenant shall be required to remove the proposed Tenant Alteration upon termination of this Lease, and the absence of such designation in Landlord’s written consent shall be deemed Landlord’s agreement that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove Tenant Alterations upon the termination of this Lease. Landlord also may impose such reasonable conditions as part of its consent as Landlord deems appropriate, taking into consideration the nature of the proposed Tenant Alteration, including, without limitation, requiring Tenant to furnish Landlord with security for the payment of all costs to be incurred in connection with such work, insurance, and copies of the plans, specifications and permits necessary for such work. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to obligate Tenant to construct any Tenant Alteration for which Landlord has given its consent.
(b) Landlord’s consent shall not be required for Tenant Alterations which (i) do not adversely impact the structural integrity of the Building or the systems serving the Building or their operation, (ii) are not visible from the Building exterior and (iii) qualify under the following:
(A) The Tenant Alteration is to be made to portions of the Leased Premises other than the laboratory areas and the cost thereof is $10,000 or less with respect to any Tenant Alteration project (or $20,000 or less in the aggregate with respect to Tenant Alteration projects undertaken over any twelve (12) consecutive month period); or
(B) The Tenant Alteration is to be made to the laboratory areas of the Leased Premises and the cost thereof is $50,000 or less with respect to any Tenant Alteration project (or $100,000 or less in the aggregate with respect to Tenant Alteration projects undertaken over any twelve (12) consecutive month period). Tenant Alterations described in this subsection (b) for which Landlord’s consent is not required hereinafter are called “Permitted Tenant Alterations.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, painting or carpeting of the interior of the Leased Space and like cosmetic improvements shall not be deemed Tenant Alterations regardless of the cost thereof. Tenant shall not be obligated to remove Permitted Tenant Alterations upon the termination of this Lease unless an Event of Default has occurred which is then continuing and Landlord so requires such removal.
(c) All Tenant Alterations shall be done at Tenant’s expense by contractors approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall be deemed given unless Landlord notifies Tenant of its objections within ten (10) business days after delivery of Tenant’s request for approval. With respect to Tenant Alterations other than the Permitted Tenant Alterations, no work shall be performed until the plans therefore have been approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall be deemed approved unless Landlord notifies Tenant of objections to the proposed plans within ten (10) business days after delivery to Landlord of a complete set of the plans therefor. In connection with the review of plans submitted by Tenant, Landlord shall be reimbursed by Tenant for Landlord’s cost in reviewing such plans at the rate of $125.00 per hour; subject to reasonable increase to reflect the then current hourly charge imposed for such review by Landlord for its tenants in the Center generally, and prior to undertaking any such review, Landlord shall provide a statement of the maximum review hours to be dedicated to such review. With respect to Permitted Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of Tenant’s application for a building permit therefor, if applicable (together with all attachments thereto), and no review fee shall be charged to Tenant by Landlord in connection therewith nor shall Landlord’s approval of such application be required. Tenant shall provide copies of as-built plans and specifications for all Tenant Alterations to Landlord within a reasonable time of completion of the Tenant Alteration. All Tenant Alterations shall be done in a first class, workmanlike manner and shall comply with all insurance requirements then made available to Tenant and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereover, and, where applicable, with all reasonable requirements of Landlord imposed as a condition of such consent.
(d) If, as a condition of Landlord’s consent, removal of a Tenant Alteration is required at termination of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly remove such Tenant Alterations and repair any damage occasioned by such removal. In default thereof, Landlord may effect said removal and repairs at Tenants expense. With respect to any Tenant Alterations which Tenant is not obligated to remove hereunder (including without limitation Permitted Tenant Alterations), such Tenant Alterations, if not removed by Tenant upon the termination of this Lease, shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant, and deemed a part of Landlord’s property, notwithstanding any provision of Section 16 to the contrary.
Repairs by Tenant Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly perform all maintenance, repairs, refurbishing and replacement work to the Leased Premises that are not Landlord’s express responsibility under this Lease, and shall keep the Leased Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant’s repair obligations include repairs to: (a) floor covering, (b) interior partitions, (c) doors, (d) the interior side of demising walls, (e) electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant and located in the Leased Premises or other portions of the Building, (f) supplemental air conditioning units, private showers and kitchens, including hot water heaters, plumbing and similar facilities serving Tenant exclusively, and (g) alterations performed by contractors retained by Tenant, including related HVAC balancing. All Tenant’s work shall be performed in accordance with the rules and procedures described in Section 5.2 hereof. Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant will surrender and deliver the Leased Premises to Landlord in the same condition in which the Leased Premises existed on the Commencement Date, subject, however, to (i) the provisions of Article VI hereof, (ii) the alterations permitted pursuant to this Lease, (iii) the provisions of Section 5.3, and (iv) except for ordinary wear and tear. If Tenant should fail or refuse to make such repairs, refurbishings or replacements or perform said maintenance as and when reasonably required, Landlord may, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, cure such failure or refusal and Landlord’s costs shall be reimburseable by Tenant as additional rent, by Tenant, immediately upon invoicing by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to perform, as Above Standard Services, Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations with respect to the Leased Premises. Tenant shall notify Landlord of the need for any such repair and maintenance and Landlord shall endeavor to respond timely to each such request.
Repairs and Alterations (14.1) Tenant shall keep and maintain the Leased Premises in good repair and condition; keep in good running order the heating and air conditioning systems, electric wiring, toilets, water pipes, water, gas and electric fixtures; replace all locks and deliver keys to Landlord after replacement of locks, trimmings, glass and plate glass broken during the tenancy, regardless of the manner in which same may have been broken, unstop all water fixtures that may become choked and repair all water pipes and plumbing that may burst. If any elevators, escalators, lifts, machinery or appliances (herein called "equipment") are situate on the Leased Premises, Tenant shall care for, maintain and repair same, and shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord from any liability or claims for damages or injuries to persons and property arising therefrom. Tenant shall not make any alterations of, additions to or changes in the Leased Premises or equipment without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and all alterations, changes and improvements, by whomsoever made, shall be the property of Landlord.
(14.2) Tenant agrees that all additions and improvements and attached equipment and fixtures installed in or on the Leased Premises by the Tenant, including but not being limited to, electric wiring, electric fixtures, show window reflectors, screens, screen doors, awnings, awnings frames floor coverings, landscaping, furnaces and air conditioning machinery and equipment, shall immediately become the property of the Landlord and shall not be removed by Tenant at the termination of this Lease, unless requested to do so by the Landlord, in which event Tenant agrees to do so and to repair promptly any damage caused by such removal.
(14.3) Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as requiring Landlord to make any repairs, except of a structural nature. Landlord shall maintain and make all necessary structural repairs to the foundations, load bearing walls and roof. This does not include the repairing of any glass or moving parts such as passage and overhead doors. (The Tenant will maintain the ------ common areas as outlined in the Addendum.) alterations, rebuilding, replacements, changes or additions placed by Tenant thereon, in as good condition and repair as the same were in at the commencement of the original term, normal wear and tear excepted; provided, however, Tenant shall not be required to return the Leased Premises and equipment in as good condition as aforesaid if the same are damaged or destroyed by fire or otherwise, unless caused by Tenant's fault or negligence which is not adequately covered by insurance.
Alterations and Tenant’s Property Any alterations, additions, or improvements made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, including additional locks or bolts of any kind or nature upon any doors or windows in the Premises, but excluding installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems (other than removal of furniture systems owned or paid for by Landlord) not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to Building Systems (as defined in Section 13) (“Alterations”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion if any such Alteration affects the structure or Building Systems and shall not be otherwise unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant may construct nonstructural cosmetic Alterations in the Premises without Landlord’s prior approval if the aggregate cost of all such work in any 12 month period does not exceed $50,000 (a “Notice-Only Alteration”), provided Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of such intended Notice-Only Alteration, and such notice shall be accompanied by plans, specifications, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the Notice-Only Alteration as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, which notice and accompanying materials shall be delivered to Landlord not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction. If Landlord approves any Alterations, Landlord may impose such conditions on Tenant in connection with the commencement, performance and completion of such Alterations as Landlord may deem appropriate in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any request for approval shall be in writing, delivered not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction, and accompanied by plans, specifications, bid proposals, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the alterations as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, including the identities and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials. Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to ensure that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, all Alterations to comply with insurance requirements and with Legal Requirements and shall implement at its sole cost and expense any alteration or modification required by Legal Requirements as a result of any Alterations. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on demand an amount equal to 5% of all charges incurred by Tenant or its contractors or agents in connection with any Alteration to cover Landlord’s overhead and expenses for plan review, coordination, scheduling and supervision. Before Tenant begins any Alteration, Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for, and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from, any expense incurred by Landlord by reason of faulty work done by Tenant or its contractors, delays caused by such work, or inadequate cleanup. Tenant shall furnish security or make other arrangements satisfactory to Landlord to assure payment for the completion of all Alterations work free and clear of liens, and shall provide (and cause each contractor or subcontractor to provide) certificates of insurance for workers’ compensation and other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and subcontractors who did the work and final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors; and (ii) “as built” plans for any such Alteration. Except for Removable Installations (as hereinafter defined), all Installations (as hereinafter defined) shall be and shall remain the property of Landlord during the Term and following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, shall not be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, at the time its approval of any such Installation is requested, or at the time it receives notice of a Notice-Only Alteration, notify Tenant that Landlord requires that Tenant remove such Installation upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, in which event Tenant shall remove such Installation in accordance with the immediately succeeding sentence. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove (i) all wires, cables or similar equipment which Tenant has installed in the Premises or in the risers or plenums of the Building, (ii) any Installations for which Landlord has given Tenant notice of removal in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and (iii) all of Tenant’s Property (as hereinafter defined), and Tenant shall restore and repair any damage caused by or occasioned as a result of such removal, including, without limitation, capping off all such connections behind the walls of the Premises and repairing any holes. During any restoration period beyond the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord as provided herein as if said space were otherwise occupied by Tenant. If Landlord is requested by Tenant or any lender, lessor or other person or entity claiming an interest in any of Tenant’s Property to waive any lien Landlord may have against any of Tenant’s Property, and Landlord consents to such waiver, then Landlord shall be entitled to be paid as administrative rent a fee of $1,000 per occurrence for its time and effort in preparing and negotiating such a waiver of lien.
