Common Areas Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with other tenants in the Project, and subject to the Rules and Regulations referred to in Article 5 of this Lease, those portions of the Project which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and any other tenants of the Project (such areas, together with such other portions of the Project designated by Landlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain tenants, or to be shared by Landlord and certain tenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”). The Common Areas shall consist of the “Project Common Areas” and the “Building Common Areas.” The term “Project Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portion of the Project designated as such by Landlord or areas within the Project that the occupants of the Building are permitted to utilize pursuant to a recorded declaration and which areas shall be maintained in accordance with the declaration. The term “Building Common Areas,” as used in this Lease, shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building reasonably designated as such by Landlord. The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the reasonable discretion of Landlord and the use thereof shall be subject to the Rules and Regulations as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Project and the Common Areas, provided that, in connection therewith, Landlord shall perform such closures, alterations, additions or changes in a commercially reasonable manner and, in connection therewith, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any material interference with Tenant’s use of and access to the Premises.
Alterations, Additions and Improvements No alterations, additions, or improvements (“Alterations”) shall be made to the Premises by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent, but upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Landlord, may make Alterations (including removal and rearrangement of prior Alterations) which (a) do not affect any systems or equipment of the Building or the Project, (b) do not affect the structural integrity or any structural components of the Building or the Project, (c) are not visible from the exterior of the Building, (d) do not require a building permit, (e) do not involve the expenditure of more than Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in any given instance or Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period except that no dollar limit shall be applicable with respect to paint or carpet, and (f) are commonly considered consistent with and appropriate for the Permitted Use. As a condition to Landlord’s obligation to consider any request for consent hereunder, Tenant hereby agrees to pay Landlord upon demand for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of consultants, engineers, architects and others for reviewing plans and specifications and for monitoring the construction of any proposed Alterations. Tenant shall notify Landlord of any requested Alterations in writing. If Landlord does not respond to such written request within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt thereof, the request shall be deemed disapproved. If Landlord’s consent is granted to any Alterations, then Tenant, within ten (10) days after Tenant executes a construction contract for such Alterations, and as a condition precedent to the commencement of such Alterations, shall pay to Landlord a construction management fee in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of all costs of design, demolition, construction and installation of such Alterations (the “Landlord Supervision Fee”), the amount of which Landlord Supervision Fee shall be (i) initially based upon reasonable estimates of such costs, (ii) subject to verification by Landlord, and (iii) further subject to adjustment as provided below. Landlord may require Tenant to remove any such Alterations at the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term and to restore the Premises to their prior condition pursuant to the terms of Section 17.09 hereof; provided that, if Tenant makes written request to Landlord concurrently with Tenant’s request for consent to any Alterations, then Landlord shall make its election whether or not to require removal of such Alterations, if at all, at the time consent to such Alterations is given. All Alterations to be made to the Premises shall be designed by and made under the supervision of a California licensed architect and/or California licensed structural engineer (each of whom has been approved by Landlord) and shall be made in accordance with plans and specifications which have been furnished to and approved by Landlord in writing prior to commencement of work. All Alterations shall be constructed and installed, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, by California licensed contractors approved by Landlord, in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Work Letter, including but not limited to the “Specifications” and “Requirements” set forth therein, along with all applicable laws, and in good and workmanlike manner, and shall have been approved in writing by the City of Sunnyvale and any other applicable governmental agencies. Subject to Landlord’s right to require Tenant to remove Alterations in accordance with this Section 6.03 (in which case Tenant shall retain ownership thereof), all Alterations, including, without limitation, all lighting, electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and full height partitioning, drapery and carpeting installations made by Tenant, together with all property that has become an integral part of the Premises, shall not be deemed trade fixtures and shall become the property of Landlord at the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease. Tenant shall retain title to all furniture and trade fixtures placed on the Premises. Within thirty (30) days after completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with (A) a complete set of both hard copies and CAD drawings of “as built” plans for such Alterations, (B) a statement of all final costs of design, demolition, construction and installation of such Alterations, together with all supporting documentation therefor, (C) copies of all governmental approvals, if any, received in conjunction with such Alterations and, (D) if the Landlord Supervision Fee paid in connection with such Alterations was understated, an amount equal to the actual Landlord Supervision Fee (based upon the statement of final costs) less any amount previously paid to Landlord on account thereof.
