Construction of the Tenant Improvements 3.1 The Leased Premises consists of two existing, contiguous spaces which were previously leased to other tenants. Tenant is taking the Leased Premises in its “as is” condition, subject to modifications as shown on the Plans (as hereafter defined) to be prepared by Tenant (“Tenant Improvements”). The Landlord shall provide all necessary labor and materials and perform all the work required to complete the Tenant Improvements in order to ready the same for Tenant’s occupancy. Tenant’s designated representative for all work pertaining to the Tenant Improvements shall be Xxxx Xxxxxxxx or such other person as is designated in writing by Tenant (“Representative”). The Landlord shall supervise and direct the work on the Tenant Improvements using Landlord’s best skill and attention, and Landlord shall be solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the work on the Tenant Improvements. Landlord warrants to the Tenant that all materials and equipment incorporated in the Tenant Improvements will be new unless otherwise specified, and that all work on the Tenant Improvements will be of good quality, free from known faults and defects, and in substantial conformity with the Plans.
(a) Landlord shall complete the Tenant Improvements in a good and workmanlike manner and in substantial accordance with plans and specifications (“Plans”) to be prepared by Tenant’s architect, CUH2A. The Plans shall be provided to Landlord on or before September 1, 2003 and shall be in sufficient detail to permit Landlord to apply for a building permit for the Tenant Improvements (which Landlord shall promptly do), and to prepare a construction budget for the construction of the Tenant Improvements (“Construction Budget”). In the event Tenant does not deliver the Plans to Landlord by the date set forth above, such failure shall not delay the date for commencement of the rent, which shall be presumed to be the projected Commencement Date set forth in paragraph 2. The Construction Budget shall set forth the lump sum amount payable by Tenant to Landlord for the construction of the Tenant Improvements, which amount shall include Landlord’s standard xxxx-up for general conditions, overhead and profit, which total in the aggregate 20%. The only exception to the lump sum amount shall be the actual fees charged by the Township of South Brunswick for construction permits in connection with the Tenant Improvements, which sums shall be paid by Tenant as set forth hereafter. Landlord shall submit the Construction Budget to Tenant for its approval. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord within five business days of receipt, as to whether or not the Construction Budget is acceptable. If Tenant does not accept the Construction Budget during such five business day period, then the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement on the Construction Budget. Landlord shall not be obligated to order any equipment or commence work until Tenant has approved the Construction Budget. A complete set of the agreed upon Plans, and the agreed upon Construction Budget, shall be initialed by and distributed to Landlord and Tenant.
(b) Neither the Construction Budget nor the Plans shall be changed or altered in any way except by change order approved in writing by Landlord and Tenant (“Change Order”). All Change Orders shall be valid and binding upon Landlord and Tenant only if authorized by written Change Order signed by Landlord and Tenant’s Representative prior to commencement of the work on the Tenant Improvements reflected thereby. The cost or credit to the Tenant due to any Change Order shall be determined per the terms of such Change Order. In the event the Change Order increases the cost set forth in the Construction Budget, then Landlord shall submit an invoice to Tenant and Tenant shall pay the invoice upon completion of work or upon the ordering of any equipment, whichever is applicable. The Landlord shall have the right to substitute for the materials and equipment required by the Plans, materials and equipment of equal quality and standard, provided said substitutions conform with applicable building codes and are the subject of a Change Order. Each and every Change Order shall state whether the change will entail a delay in the date of Substantial Completion. Any Change Order requested by Tenant which results in a delay to the date of Substantial Completion shall not delay the date for the commencement of the payment of rent.
(a) The Landlord may secure and advance payment for the construction permits and for all other permits and governmental fees, licenses and inspections necessary for the proper execution and completion of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall pay such amounts to Landlord not later than 10 business days after receipt of an invoice therefore Landlord shall not, however, be responsible for securing any environmental or operating permits or certifications which are required in order for Tenant to actually conduct its business.
(b) Tenant shall be responsible for providing Landlord with, and bearing the cost of sufficient copies of the Plans, and sufficient copies of any revisions made to the Plans, in order to obtain the permits and efficiently manage the construction of the Tenant Improvements. In the event any Change Orders are required during construction, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs related to the preparation and reproduction of plans therefore, unless the Change Order was solely initiated by Landlord, in which case Landlord shall be responsible for such costs. After construction is complete, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs related to the reproduction of “as built” Plans. In all instances where Plans are required, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a reproducible set. Landlord will also be provided with a current plot file containing the Plans at no cost to Landlord. Tenant agrees to have its Architect execute Exhibit “A” affirming Landlord’s right to the Plans.
(a) Tenant shall pay Landlord directly for the construction costs of Tenant Improvements in accordance with the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit “B”. The only exception to Tenant’s responsibility to pay for all construction costs shall be for the work necessary to upgrade the existing HVAC reheat system currently in the space previously occupied by Biomira, Inc. (currently known as 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx), which cost is estimated to be $150,000 and will he divided equally between the parties. In the event Tenant fails to pay to Landlord any sum set forth on Exhibit “B” when it is due, Landlord shall not be obligated to commence or continue work on the Tenant Improvements. Such failure to pay shall constitute a default under this Lease, but shall not delay the Commencement Date of this Lease, which shall be presumed to be the projected Commencement Date set forth in paragraph 2; or any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay all Rent. In the event that Tenant fails to pay to Landlord, upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, a sum equal to the remaining balance then due, such failure shall constitute a default under this Lease; and Tenant shall not be permitted to occupy the Leased Premises; and Tenant shall commence payment of all Rent; and Landlord shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available hereunder, at law or in equity, which rights shall be cumulative. All sums so owing to Landlord shall constitute Additional Rent and shall be subject to the imposition of late charges as provided in this Lease.
(b) Apart from extensions of time for delays and extensions of the date for the payment of rent, no payment or allowance of any kind shall be claimed by Tenant, or made to the Landlord as compensation for damages on account of any delay from any cause in the completion of the Tenant Improvements, whether such delay be avoidable or unavoidable, anything in this Agreement inconsistent herewith or to the contrary notwithstanding.
3.5 Tenant shall be responsible for the design and installation of its own phone, data and communication systems which systems shall be installed in a manner not to interfere with Landlord’s construction efforts. During construction of Tenant Improvements, a representative of Tenant shall inspect the site no less frequently than once a week and verify and agree that the work in progress has been completed in a manner acceptable to Tenant.
3.6 The Tenant Improvements shall be commenced upon issuance of the building permit by governmental entities having jurisdiction therefor and, subject to authorized adjustments, Substantial Completion is estimated to be achieved on or about January 15, 2004. As used herein the term “Substantial Completion” shall mean that the Leased Premises have been built and completed in substantial conformity with the Plans, and a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy or a temporary or permanent certificate of acceptance (“CO/CA”) has been issued permitting Tenant to use and occupy the Leased Premises, even though minor details, adjustments or punch list items which shall not materially impair Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises may not have been finally completed, but which work Landlord agrees shall be diligently pursued to final completion. Tenant shall allow Landlord and its contractors to enter the Leased Premises during normal working hours after issuance of the CO/CA to complete remaining minor work or punch list items, provided Landlord gives advance notice and makes reasonable efforts not to interfere with Tenant’s operations. It is agreed that for the purpose of this Lease, wherever and whenever the term Substantial Completion is used, it shall not include items of maintenance, service, punch list, or guarantee. If the date of Substantial Completion occurs on a day other than the first day of a month, rent from such day until the first day of the following month shall be prorated (at a rate of 1/30th of the monthly rent per day). During said period of partial monthly occupancy, all other terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply.
