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.
Routine Maintenance, Construction, and Repair The NYISO or Connecting Transmission Owner may interrupt interconnection service or curtail the output of the Small Generating Facility and temporarily disconnect the Small Generating Facility from the New York State Transmission System or Distribution System when necessary for routine maintenance, construction, and repairs on the New York State Transmission System or Distribution System. The NYISO or the Connecting Transmission Owner shall provide the Interconnection Customer with five Business Days notice prior to such interruption. The NYISO and Connecting Transmission Owner shall use Reasonable Efforts to coordinate such reduction or temporary disconnection with the Interconnection Customer.
Maintenance and Repairs (1) Except for matters specified under Paragraph 4 above and Paragraph 8A(3) below as being Landlord's obligation, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain the Premises in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire and casualty excepted, including: the interior surfaces of the ceilings, walls and floors; all doors and interior windows; furnishings installed within the Premises; all equipment installed by or at the expense of Tenant; and all plumbing, heating, ventilating, electrical and lighting facilities and fixtures; all landscaping, parking lots, fences and signs located within the Premises.
(2) In the event that Tenant fails to maintain the Premises in good order, condition and repair as required under this Lease, Landlord shall give Tenant prior written notice to do such acts as are required to so maintain the Premises. In the event that Tenant fails to commence such work within 30 days after written demand by Landlord, and diligently prosecute it to completion, then Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to do such acts and expend such funds at the expense of Tenant as are reasonably required to perform such work. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any reasonable damage, inconvenience or interference with Tenant's use of the Premises as a result of performing any such work.
(3) Landlord will maintain, repair and replace all structural components of the Premises and the roof of the Building, and if a repair, replacement or alteration or other change would be considered a capital improvement or replacement to the Premises under generally accepted accounting principles, then it shall be Landlord's responsibility to promptly make and pay for such repair, replacement, alteration or other change. The cost of any such capital improvement shall be amortized over the useful life of such item and Tenant agrees to pay its percentage share (which shall be determined by dividing the square footage of the Building by the square footage of all buildings benefitted by such improvement, including the Building) of the annual amortized amount. Such payment will be made by Tenant as set forth in Paragraph 4 above. Landlord shall do all acts required to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and rules of any public authority relating to the Premises, except to the extent that the foregoing are solely a result of Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant shall do all acts required to comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and rules of any public authority relating solely to Tenant's use of the Premises. If a repair is required as a result of Tenant's negligence and such repair cost is not covered by insurance proceeds, Tenant will pay for the cost of such repair. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in the event that the need for repairs or the making of repairs (or both) which Landlord is obligated to effect at Landlord's expense renders a material portion of the Premises unusable for more than three consecutive business days, then Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent commencing with the fourth business day that the same are unusable; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to a pro rata abatement of rent under the foregoing due to unusability (i) caused directly or indirectly by any act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant's servants, employees, agents, contractors, visitors or licensees, (ii) where Tenant makes a decoration, alteration, improvement or addition which directly causes such unusability, or (iii) where the repair in question is one which Tenant is obligated to furnish under the provisions of this Lease.

If Lessee does not make repairs promptly and adequately, Lessor may, but need not, make repairs, and Lessee shall pay promptly the reasonable cost thereof. At any time or times, Lessor, either voluntarily or pursuant to governmental requirement, may, at Lessor’s expense, make repairs, alterations, or improvements in or to the Building or any part thereof, including the premises, and, during such operations Lessor may close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators, or other facilities, all without any liability to Lessee or deduction of rent by reason of interference, inconvenience, or annoyance; provided that Lessee shall have access to the premises sufficient for conduct of Lessee’s business. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any expense, injury, loss, or damage resulting from work done in or upon, or the use of, any adjacent or nearby building, land, street, or alley, provided that Lessor makes a reasonable effort to minimize the disruption to Lessee’s business. In the event Lessee requests that repairs, alterations, decorating, or other work in the premises be made during periods other than ordinary business hours, Lessee shall pay Lessor for overtime and other additional expenses incurred because of such request.
CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION Construction and renovation projects for a state, local, territorial, or Tribal government’s principal Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as defined by the State Administrative Agency are allowable under the EMPG Program. Written approval must be provided by FEMA prior to the use of any EMPG Program funds for construction or renovation. Requests for EMPG Program funds for construction of an EOC must be accompanied by an EOC Investment Justification (located in the Related Documents tab of the EMPG xxxxxx.xxx posting) to their Regional EMPG Manager for review. Additionally, recipients are required to submit a SF-424C Form and Budget detail citing the project costs. When applying for funds to construct communication towers Sub-Recipients must submit evidence that the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Section 106 review process has been completed and submit all documentation resulting from that review to Grants Program Directorate (GPD) prior to submitting materials for EHP review. Sub-Recipients are also encouraged to have completed as many steps as possible for a successful EHP review in support of their proposal for funding (e.g., coordination with their State Historic Preservation Office to identify potential historic preservation issues and to discuss the potential for project effects, compliance with all state and EHP laws and requirements). Projects for which the Sub-Recipient believes an Environmental Assessment (EA) may be needed, as defined in as defined in DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Revision 01, FEMA Directive 108-1 and FEMA Instruction 108-1-1, must also be identified to the FEMA EMPG Regional Program Manager within six months of the award, and completed EHP review materials must be submitted no later than 12 months before the end of the period of performance. EHP review packets should be sent to xxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx. EMPG Program Sub-Recipients using funds for construction projects must comply with the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3141 et seq.). Grant Sub-Recipients must ensure that their contractors or subcontractors for construction projects pay workers no less than the prevailing wages for laborers and mechanics employed on projects of a character similar to the contract work in the civil subdivision of the state in which the work is to be performed. Additional information regarding compliance with the Xxxxx- Xxxxx Act, including Department of Labor (DOL) wage determinations, is available from the following website: xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/whd/govcontracts/dbra.htm In general, Sub-Recipients should consult with their Grant Manager prior to making any investment that does not clearly meet the allowable expense criteria established in this Guidance.
Removal of Improvements All items of Landlord’s construction, all heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and all permanent improvements installed by Landlord shall be the property of Landlord and shall not be removed from the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. All trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings and signs installed in the Leased Premises by Xxxxxx and paid for by Tenant shall remain the property of Tenant, and may be removed upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease, provided that:
i. Tenant shall have fully performed all of the covenants, conditions and provisions to be performed by Tenant under this Lease; and
ii. Tenant repairs any damage to the Leased Premises or the Building caused by such removal and restores the Leased Premises to the condition that existed on the commencement date of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If Tenant fails to remove any such items from the Leased Premises within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, all such trade fixtures, furniture, furnishings and signs shall, at Landlord’s options, become the property of Landlord, unless Landlord elects to require their removal, in which case Tenant shall promptly remove the same and restore the Leased Premises to its prior condition. If Tenant fails to promptly remove the same, Landlord may remove and store such items at the expense of Tenant.
Construction and Maintenance There are on-going maintenance, renovation and construction projects taking place in and around the residences. The work typically takes place during regular business hours, but may begin earlier or extend into evenings or weekends. On-going construction or renovation projects will continue through midterm and final exam periods. The University will take measures to ensure that prudent construction practices are followed, but there may be noise, dust and temporary interruption of some services. Residents may be required to temporarily or permanently relocate to facilitate construction or renovation to their residence area. There will be no compensation or reduction to your residence fees due to disruption and/or relocation.
Construction of Tenant Improvements Tenant shall install the Tenant Improvements (as described in Paragraph 2(a) below) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Work Letter. The quantities, character and manner of installation of all of the work related to the Tenant Improvements shall be subject to the limitations imposed by any applicable governmental regulations, laws, ordinances, codes and rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may at Landlord’s sole election itself (with Landlord’s contractor) construct the portion of the Tenant Improvements that consist of the restrooms and related improvements that will service Building 2 (the “Restroom Improvements”), at Tenant’s cost up to a maximum amount of $322,764 (subject to Section 9(b) below), provided that (a) Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of such election prior to Tenant’s commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, and (b) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not unreasonably interfere with or delay Tenant’s installation of the Tenant Improvements. If a certificate of occupancy or equivalent permit sign-off for the Premises is delayed beyond the Building 2 Scheduled Commencement Date solely as a result of Landlord’s failure to substantially complete the Restroom Improvements prior to such date, which failure does not result from Tenant Delays (as defined below) or Force Majeure, then the Building 2 Commencement Date shall be extended day for day by the number of days after the Building 2 Scheduled Commencement Date until the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or equivalent permit sign-off (but in no event shall the Building 2 Commencement Date be delayed beyond the date Tenant commences business in the Premises), provided, however, that Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord at such time as Tenant becomes aware that Landlord is in danger of causing such delay. “Tenant Delays” shall mean (i) Tenant’s delay in submittal of Tenant’s Plans and/or responses to Landlord’s comments to Tenant’s Plans beyond the time periods provided in this Work Letter, (ii) Tenant’s delay in any submittals for permits or other governmental approvals with respect to the Tenant Improvements (including without limitation the Restroom Improvements), (iii) changes in Tenant’s Plans as they relate to the Restroom Improvements after they have been submitted to governmental authorities for permits, (iv) delay in obtaining materials for reasons outside Landlord’s reasonable control, and (v) Tenant’s failure to provide reasonable access to the Premises to Landlord’s contractors to install the Restroom Improvements, or unreasonable interference with such installation by Tenant or its contractors or agents.
