Building Systems The term "Building Systems" means all systems serving the Building in general, including, but not limited to, the fire/life safety, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, including all components thereof and related equipment, including any distribution systems or equipment existing within the Premises.
Building Services 7.01 Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the following services: (a) hot and cold water for use in the Base Building lavatories and drinking purposes; (b) customary heat and air conditioning in season during Building Service Hours (, although (i) Tenant shall have the right to receive HVAC service during hours other than Building Service Hours by paying Landlord’s then standard charge for additional HVAC service and providing such prior notice as is reasonably specified by Landlord (Landlord’s current charge for afterhours HVAC is $60 per hour, subject to change by Landlord from time to time), and (ii) if Tenant is permitted to connect any supplemental HVAC units to the Building’s condenser water loop or chilled water line, such permission shall be conditioned upon Landlord having adequate excess capacity from time to time and such connection and use shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval and reasonable restrictions imposed by Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right to charge Tenant a connection fee and/or a monthly usage fee, as reasonably determined by Landlord; (c) standard janitorial service on Business Days; (d) unattended elevator service; (e) electricity in accordance with the terms and conditions in Section 7.02; (f) access to the Building for Tenant and its employees 24 hours per day/7 days per week, subject to the terms of this Lease and such protective services or monitoring systems, if any, as Landlord may reasonably impose, including, without limitation, sign-in procedures and/or presentation of identification cards; and (g) subject to Section 26.10, such other services as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate for the Property. If Landlord, at Tenant’s request, provides any services which are not Landlord’s express obligation under this Lease, including, without limitation, any repairs which are Tenant’s responsibility pursuant to Section 9 below, Tenant shall pay Landlord, or such other party designated by Landlord, the cost of providing such service plus an administrative charge of ten percent (10%), the same to constitute Additional Rent hereunder.
7.02 Electricity used by Tenant in the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be paid for by Tenant by a separate, flat-rate charge (except the same may be increased as hereinafter provided in this Section 7.02) payable by Tenant to Landlord monthly with Rent, initially estimated (at the rate of $1.50 per rentable square foot of the Premises) to be in the amount of $1,633.25 per month ($19,599.00 per annum), payable as Additional Rent hereunder. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to reasonably increase such monthly flat-rate amount payable by Tenant hereunder based on actual increases in the cost of electricity (and/or the generation thereof) to Landlord in connection with the Property with no xxxx up by Landlord. Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not exceed the Building standard usage of six (6) xxxxx per square foot, as reasonably determined by Landlord, based upon the Building standard electrical design load. Landlord shall have the right to measure electrical usage by commonly accepted methods, including the installation of measuring devices such as submeters and check meters. If it is determined that Tenant is using electricity in such quantities or during such periods as to cause the total cost of Tenant’s electrical usage, on a monthly, per-rentable-square-foot basis, to materially exceed that which Landlord reasonably deems to be standard for the Building, Tenant shall pay Landlord Additional Rent for the cost of such excess electrical usage and, if applicable, for the cost of purchasing and installing the measuring device(s).
7.03 Landlord’s failure to furnish, or any interruption, diminishment or termination of services due to the application of Laws, the failure of any equipment, the performance of maintenance, repairs, improvements or alterations, utility interruptions or the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure (defined in Section 26.03) (collectively a “Service Failure”) shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant, constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, give rise to an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the Premises is rendered Untenantable (as defined below) solely as a result of the failure of any Essential Service (as defined below) due to Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct and Tenant does not use or occupy the same during said period, then Tenant’s obligation pay Base Rent and Additional Rent hereunder shall be abated in proportion to the portion of the Premises rendered Untenantable until the date on which such Untenantability is cured, provided that such abatement shall not commence until the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date on which Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord of the interruption and an opportunity, within such five (5) Business Day period, to cure same. The rate at which Base Rent or Additional Rent may be abated under this Section 7.03 in any one calendar month shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Rent payable for such calendar month, provided that any amount not permitted to be taken as an abatement as a result of such monthly cap shall be credited against the Base Rent or Additional Rent next thereafter due under this Lease, subject to such monthly cap. In the event that the foregoing monthly cap would have the effect of depriving Tenant of any portion of abatement to which it is otherwise entitled hereunder due to the number of calendar months remaining in the term, the monthly cap may be increased proportionately to the extent necessary to avoid such result.
Tenant Work Before commencing any repair or Alteration (“Tenant Work”), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, and obtain Landlord’s approval of, (a) names of contractors, subcontractors, mechanics, laborers and materialmen; (b) evidence of contractors’ and subcontractors’ insurance; and (c) any required governmental permits. Tenant shall perform all Tenant Work (i) in a good and workmanlike manner using materials of a quality reasonably approved by Landlord; (ii) in compliance with any approved plans and specifications, all Laws, the National Electric Code, and Landlord’s construction rules and regulations; and (iii) in a manner that does not impair the Base Building. If, as a result of any Tenant Work, Landlord becomes required under Law to perform any inspection, give any notice, or cause such Tenant Work to be performed in any particular manner, Tenant shall comply with such requirement and promptly provide Landlord with reasonable documentation of such compliance. Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications shall not relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Section 7.3. In performing any Tenant Work, Tenant shall not use contractors, services, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with any workforce or trades engaged in performing other work or services at the Project.
Shift Work Shift work is work not in excess of ordinary hours (ie 38 hours per week), but carried out wholly or partly between the hours of 7.00pm and 7.00am, Monday to Friday. Shift work is work scheduled at least 24 hours prior to the commencement of the shift. Employees required to work shift work will be paid at time and one quarter of the ordinary rate per hour for ordinary hours worked.
THE WORK The Work comprises the completed construction required by the Contract Documents and includes all labor necessary to produce such construction, and all materials and equipment incorporated or to be incorporated in such construction.
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.

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.
Tenant’s Work Section 5.1 Except as may be expressly provided in this lease, Tenant shall not replace any fixtures in the Premises or make any changes, improvements, alterations or additions (collectively, “Tenant’s Work”), to the Premises, the Real Property, the Building systems, or any part thereof, without Xxxxxxxx’s prior consent. Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if Tenant’s Work (a) is nonstructural, and (b) does not (i) affect any part of the Real Property outside the Premises (including the Building roof) or the exterior of the Premises, (ii) affect any structural element of the Building, (iii) adversely affect any Building system, or (iv) require an amendment of the certificate of occupancy for the Premises or the Building, ( c) is not visible outside the Premises and (d) is performed only by contractors and subcontractors first approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Tenant’s Work shall be performed, at Tenant’s expense, with diligence when started so as to promptly complete it in a good and worker-like manner using new materials of first class quality and in compliance with this lease, all Laws and Tenant’s Plans (as defined in Section 5.2) as approved by Landlord. As part of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall soundproof the Premises and install appropriate ventilation if required so that Tenant’s use of the Premises shall not result in noise and/or odors being transmitted outside the Premises. Tenant’s Work shall be fully paid for by Tenant when payment is due and shall not be financed with any conditional sales or title retention agreements or by the granting of any security interests, liens, encumbrances or financing statements. Tenant’s Work shall be deemed, upon installation, to be improvements and betterments that become the property of Landlord at installation, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises, at the expiration of the Term (or the sooner termination of this lease in accordance with its provisions) unless Landlord notifies Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article that Landlord relinquishes its rights thereto, in which case Tenant shall be obligated to remove such Tenant’s Work.
Section 5.2 Prior to commencing any Tenant’s Work other than purely Cosmetic Alterations, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, deliver to Landlord detailed plans and specifications, for Tenant’s Work, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, prepared, certified, signed and sealed by an architect or engineer licensed to practice in the State of New York, and suitable for filing with the applicable Authority, if filing is required by applicable Laws (such plans and specifications together with revisions thereto, collectively, “Tenant’s Plans”), and obtain Landlord’s approval of Xxxxxx’s Plans. Xxxxxxxx’s approval of Xxxxxx’s Plans shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed to the extent Xxxxxxxx’s consent to Xxxxxx’s Work shown on Tenant’s Plans is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed pursuant to this Article.

Premises Building Project and Common Areas 1.1 Premises, Building, Project and Common Areas.
Common Area Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and such rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time reasonably prescribe, Tenant and Tenant’s employees, invitees and customers shall, in common with other occupants of the Parcel, and their respective employees, invitees and customers, and others entitled to the use thereof, have the non-exclusive right to use the access roads, parking areas and facilities provided and designated by Landlord for the general use and convenience of the occupants of the Parcel, which areas and facilities are referred to herein as “Common Area.” This right shall terminate upon the termination of this Lease. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make changes in the shape, size, location, amount and extent of the Common Area; provided that no such changes shall prevent or materially diminish or adversely affect Tenant’s ability to have access to and use of the Premises or Tenant’s allocation of parking spaces. Landlord further reserves the right to promulgate such rules and regulations relating to the use of the Common Area, and any part or parts thereof, as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate for the best interest of the occupants of the Building. The rules and regulations shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant, and Tenant shall abide by them and cooperate in their observance. Such rules and regulations may be reasonably amended by Landlord from time to time, with advance notice, and all amendments shall be effective upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant. Tenant shall have the exclusive use of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the parking spaces in the Common Area on a “first-come, first served” basis at no cost to Tenant during the Term or any extension or renewal of the Term. Tenant shall not at any time park or permit the parking of Tenant’s trucks or other vehicles, or the trucks or other vehicles of others, adjacent to loading areas so as to interfere in any way with the use of such areas, nor shall Tenant at any time park or permit the parking of Tenant’s vehicles or trucks, or the vehicles or trucks of Tenant’s suppliers or others, in any portion of the Common Area not designated by Landlord for such use by Tenant. Tenant shall not abandon any inoperative vehicles or equipment on any portion of the Common Area. Tenant shall make no alterations, improvements or additions to the Common Area without prior written approval of Landlord. Landlord shall at all times operate, manage, insure, maintain and repair the Common Area in good order, condition and repair. The manner in which the Common Area shall be maintained and the expenditures for such maintenance shall be at the unfettered discretion of Landlord. Except as excluded herein or in Addendum One, the cost of such repair, maintenance, operation, insurance and management, including without limitation, maintenance and repair of landscaping, irrigation systems, paving, sidewalks, fences, and lighting, shall be a Common Area Charge and Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such costs as provided in Paragraph 12 below.
Tenant Improvements Landlord shall cause the Core and Shell Contractor or another Contractor designated by Landlord and approved by Tenant, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (“TI Contractor”, and together with Core and Shell Contractor, “Contractor”) to commence and thereafter diligently prosecute the construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter (the “Tenant Improvements”); provided, however, that before performing the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall prepare in good faith an estimated budget for the construction of the Tenant Improvements and deliver such budget to Tenant for Tenant’s written approval prior the start of construction (the “Budget”). Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively and in good faith to achieve a mutually acceptable Budget. Landlord shall update the Budget for Tenant’s review and approval at reasonable intervals and shall notify Tenant in writing if the Budget is likely to be exceeded. If there is an indication that the Budget is likely to be exceeded, Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively, if required by Tenant, to modify the scope of the Tenant Improvements to bring the same in line with a budget reasonably acceptable to Tenant. The Tenant Improvements shall be performed in a workmanlike manner and shall substantially conform with Applicable Laws and the Approved TI Plans (as defined in the Work Letter). Tenant shall pay all TI Costs, except that Landlord shall pay for TI Costs that do not exceed the TI Allowance. The “TI Allowance” shall mean (a) One Hundred Twenty Five Dollars ($125.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises (the “Initial TI Allowance”), together with (b) the Additional Allowance. The “TI Costs” shall mean all Tenant Core and Shell Costs (as defined in the Work Letter) and all costs and expenses of performing the TI Work, including without limitation the hard and soft costs of (i) construction, (ii) the Construction Management Fee (as such term is defined in the Work Letter) and any Project or construction management fees paid by Tenant to an unaffiliated third party (such fees not to exceed three percent (3%) of the TI Allowance), (iii) space planning, design, architect, engineering, data and phone cabling and other related services, (iv) costs and expenses for labor, material, equipment, data and phone cabling and fixtures (including, without limitation, any of the Attached Property (as defined in Section 18.5), (v) building permits and other taxes, fees, charges and levies by governmental and quasi-governmental agencies for permits or for inspections of the Tenant Improvements, and (vi) the Warm Shell Costs. In no event shall the TI Allowance be used for: (w) the purchase of any furniture, personal property or other non-building system equipment, (x) costs resulting from a Tenant Delay, (y) costs resulting from any default by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, or (z) costs that are recoverable or reasonably recoverable by Tenant from a third party (e.g., insurers, warrantors, or tortfeasors). In the event the estimated total TI Costs (as set forth in the Budget) exceed the TI Allowance, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord such overage (the “TI Allowance Excess”), within five (5) business days of receiving the Budget (the “TI Deposit”). In the event Landlord determines the estimate of the TI Costs set forth in the Budget underestimates the amount of TI Costs so that the TI Deposit will not be sufficient to cover the TI Allowance Excess, then Landlord shall communicate the same to Tenant and, if required by Tenant, the parties shall discuss revisions to the Budget and Tenant may make a TI Tenant Change Order Request to reduce TI Costs, and unless the TI Costs are reduced to be within the Budget and previously paid TI Deposit, Tenant shall promptly pay the additional amount to Landlord, and such additional amount shall be added to the TI Deposit. If the sum of the TI Allowance plus the TI Deposit is not sufficient to cover the TI Costs, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the difference between (a) the TI Costs and (b) the sum of the TI Allowance and the TI Deposit. However, Landlord shall be solely responsible for any costs related to the Tenant Improvements to the extent the same result from Landlord’s gross negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively at no cost or risk to Landlord to maximize Tenant’s ability, to the extent reasonably possible, to obtain the benefit of any applicable research and development tax credits with respect to the Tenant Improvements.
