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.
Removal of Alterations If Tenant fails to remove by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease all of its personal property, or any Alterations identified by Landlord for removal, Landlord may, at its option, treat such failure as a hold-over pursuant to Subparagraph 11(b) above, and/or Landlord may (without liability to Tenant for loss thereof) treat such personal property and/or Alterations as abandoned and, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and in addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity: (a) remove and store such items; and/or (b) upon ten (10) days prior notice to Tenant, sell, discard or otherwise dispose of all or any such items at private or public sale for such price as Landlord may obtain or by other commercially reasonable means. Tenant shall be liable for all costs of disposition of Tenant's abandoned property and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant with respect to any such abandoned property. Landlord agrees to apply the proceeds of any sale of any such property to any amounts due to Landlord under this Lease from Tenant (including Landlord's attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in the removal, storage and/or sale of such items), with any remainder to be paid to Tenant.
Tenant Alterations Tenant will not make or allow to be made any alterations in or to the Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; provided, however that such Landlord consent shall not be required for changes that are not to the exterior, or are not to the structure, or are not to Buildings systems, or which are merely cosmetic in nature. All Tenant alterations will be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner at Tenant’s sole expense, in conformity with all Applicable Laws by a licensed and bonded contractor approved in advance by Landlord, such approval of contractor not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All contractors performing alterations in the Premises shall carry workers’ compensation insurance, commercial general liability insurance, automobile insurance and excess liability insurance in amounts reasonably acceptable to Landlord and shall deliver a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverages to Landlord prior to commencing work in the Premises. Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with “as built” plans, copies of all construction contracts, and proof of payment for all labor and materials. All alterations or improvements, shall remain with the Premises upon Lease termination or expiration and will be surrendered to Landlord along with the Premises at such time and will be deemed owned by Landlord at all times from and after and upon completion thereof (but rights to the use of same and Tenant’s obligations to keep in good order, condition and repair and maintain same, as a part of the Premises, shall remain with Tenant pursuant to this Lease during the term of this Lease). Tenant will have no authority or power, express or implied, to create or cause any construction lien or mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien or claim of any kind against the Premises, the Property or any portion thereof. Landlord’s interest in the Premises is not and shall not be subject to any liens as a result of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises including specifically, without limitation, for improvements made by Tenant, and all such liens are expressly prohibited. Tenant will promptly cause any such liens or claims to be released by payment, bonding or otherwise within thirty (30) days after request by Landlord, and will indemnify Landlord against losses arising out of any such claim including, without limitation, legal fees and court costs. Landlord has the right, but not the obligation, to discharge any such lien. Any amount paid by Landlord for such purpose and Landlord’s related reasonable attorneys’ fees shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand and shall accrue interest from the date paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed therefor at the highest rate permitted by Law. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LANDLORD WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIAL FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO TENANT, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING THE PREMISES THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, AND THAT NO MECHANICS’ OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS WILL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PREMISES. TENANT WILL DISCLOSE THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS TO ANY CONTRACTOR ENGAGED BY TENANT PROVIDING LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIAL TO THE PREMISES.
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.
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.
AMENDMENT OR ALTERATION No amendment or alteration of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by both of the parties hereto.
Landlord’s Approval Tenant shall not make, or allow to be made, any alterations, physical additions, improvements or partitions, including without limitation the attachment of any fixtures or equipment, in, about or to the Premises (“Alterations”) without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to proposed Alterations which: (i) comply with all Applicable Laws; (ii) are, in Landlord’s opinion, compatible with the Building or the Project and the Base Building Systems , and will not cause the Building or Project or Base Building Systems to be required to be modified to comply with any Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act); and (iii) will not unreasonably interfere with or materially disturb the use and occupancy of any other portion of the Building or Project by any other tenant or its invitees. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to approve all plans and specifications for the proposed Alterations, construction means and methods, all appropriate permits and licenses, any contractor or subcontractor to be employed on the work of Alterations, and the time for performance of such work, and may impose reasonable rules and regulations for contractors and subcontractors performing such work. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, specify engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, and architects to perform work affecting the Base Building Systems. Tenant shall also supply to Landlord any documents and information reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s consideration of a request for approval hereunder. No review or consent by Landlord of or to any proposed Alteration or additional work shall constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 12, nor constitute any warranty or representation that the same complies with all Applicable Laws, for which Tenant shall at all times be solely responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all out-of-pocket, reasonable costs which Landlord may incur in connection with granting approval to Tenant for any such Alterations, including any costs or expenses which Landlord may incur in electing to have outside architects and engineers review said plans and specifications. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord a fee for its review of plans and its management and supervision of the progress of the work in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the cost of any Alterations (other than for Minor Alterations). The Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Agreement shall not be deemed to be Alterations hereunder.
Changes and Alterations Except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein, Tenant shall have no authority, without the express written consent of Landlord to alter, remodel, reconstruct, demolish, add to, improve or otherwise change the Leased Premises, except that Tenant shall have such authority, without the consent of Landlord, to build substructures; add, remove, or modify internal wiring; erect or remove non-load bearing walls; add or remove internal doors; construct internal clean room(s); make repairs to the Leased Premises and do such other things as are appropriate to comply with the obligations imposed on Tenant under other provisions of this Lease. Except as otherwise outlined herein, Tenant shall not construct or permit any alterations, installations, additions or improvements including any interior or exterior signs (“Alterations”) to the Leased Premises or the Building without having first submitted to Landlord plans and specifications therefor for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided that:
(a) if the improvement involves a sign or will otherwise be visible from the exterior then the improvement must be compatible with the architectural and aesthetic qualities of the Leased Premises and the Site; and
(b) the improvement must be non-structural and have no effect on the plumbing, heating (and cooling), mechanical, electrical or other systems or services in the Leased Premises, and the improvement (except for signs) must be entirely within the Leased Premises; and
(c) the change, when completed will not materially adversely affect the value of the Leased Premises or the Site; and
(d) Tenant demonstrates to Landlord’s satisfaction that the improvement will be made in accordance with applicable legal requirements using good quality materials and good quality construction practices and will not result in any liens on the Leased Premises; and
(e) as soon as such work is completed, Tenant will have prepared and provide Landlord with “as-built” plans (in form acceptable to Landlord) showing all such work; and
(f) Tenant will comply with any rules or requirements reasonably promulgated by Landlord in connection with the doing of any work, and if requested by Landlord, Tenant will obtain and maintain Builder’s Risk insurance in connection with such work. Tenant shall have the right to make minor alterations from time to time in the interior of the Leased Premises without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent therefor, provided that all of such work conforms to all of the above requirements in all respects (except for the requirement in subsection (a) to obtain Landlord’s prior written consent and the requirement in subsection (e) to provide “as-built” plans to Landlord), and further provided that Tenant provides Landlord with a written description of such work (and such other data as Landlord may request) not later than 30 days after each such alteration is made.
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.
