Related to Construction of Improvements General Covenants

• Construction of Improvements (A) Lessee warrants and agrees that the Building will be constructed on the Leased Premises, and all other improvements to the land, including the parking lot, approaches, and service areas, will be constructed in all material respects by Lessee substantially in accordance with the plot, plans, and specifications heretofore submitted to Lessor.

• Condition of Improvements The Improvements and the Tangible Personal Property (including but not limited to the mechanical systems, plumbing, electrical, wiring, appliances, fixtures, heating, air conditioning and ventilating equipment, elevators, boilers, equipment, roofs, structural members and furnaces) shall be in the same condition at Closing as they are as of the date hereof, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Prior to Closing, the Contributor shall not have diminished the quality or quantity of maintenance and upkeep services heretofore provided to the Real Property and the Tangible Personal Property and the Contributor shall not have diminished the Inventory. The Contributor shall not have removed or caused or permitted to be removed any part or portion of the Real Property or the Tangible Personal Property unless the same is replaced, prior to Closing, with similar items of at least equal quality and acceptable to the Acquiror.

• Completion of Improvements Landlord, through its general contractor (“Contractor”), shall furnish and install within the Premises those items of general design, engineering and construction, shown on the final plans and specifications approved by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the Schedule of Approvals below, in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations and matters of record, and complete any construction required in the Common Areas of the Building when such construction is required by or arises out of completion of such work (collectively the “Improvements”). The contractor constructing the Improvements in the Premises shall be selected pursuant to a procedure whereby the final Plans and Specifications (as such term is defined in this Exhibit B) are submitted to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Builders, Inc. (“XXX”) and Pinnacle Contracting Corporation (collectively, the “Approved Contractors”), who shall be requested to each submit to Landlord and to Tenant a sealed contract bid using such forms reasonably acceptable to Landlord in order to provide an “apples to apples” bidding process. The sealed bids shall be delivered to Tenant and Landlord and opened jointly by Landlord and Xxxxxx. Tenant, in Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion, shall select the Contractor from the two Approved Contractors (regardless of which has the lower bid). Each bid from the contractors shall specify any allowances for exclusions and shall further provide that said bids are without overtime premiums or bonuses necessary to complete the Improvements in accordance with the terms hereof. The architect engaged by Xxxxxx to prepare the Space Plan and Plans and Specifications and related design work for the Improvements shall be Xxxxxxx (the “Architect”). Landlord shall disburse amounts of the Allowance (up to the maximum specified below) to Architect within thirty (30) days after receipt of paid invoices from Architect or Tenant for Architect’s services; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall pay $[***] for the Architect’s preparation of the Space Plan (as evidenced by the Architect’s invoice number 68045 dated October 15, 2010), at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (and without using the Allowance or any portion thereof). The definition of Improvements shall include all costs associated with completing the Improvements, including but not limited to, fees payable to Xxxxxxx, space planning, design, architectural, and engineering fees, contracting, labor and material costs, municipal fees, plan check and permit costs, and document development and/or reproduction, and all costs and expenses for any construction manager(s) engaged by Xxxxxx (provided such soft costs for architectural and engineering services charged against the Allowance shall not exceed $[***] per square feet of Usable Area in the Premises) at Tenant’s sole option. The Space Plan and the Plans and Specifications (each as defined in Section 3 of this Exhibit B) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord’s approval of any iteration of a Space Plan or Plans and Specifications shall be deemed granted unless Landlord provides a reasonable disapproval or approval to Tenant prior to the sixth (6th) business day after Landlord’s receipt of the Space Plan or Plans and Specifications. Without limiting Landlord’s discretion to reasonably withhold its approval, Tenant agrees that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its approval of any aspect of Tenant’s Space Plan or Plans and Specifications (or, in either case, any proposed changes thereto) which (i) adversely affect Building systems, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building and/or its occupants, (ii) would violate any governmental laws, rules or ordinances; (iii) would require any changes that adversely impact the base, shell and core of the Building, and/or (iv) are inconsistent with the standards of first class office buildings in the vicinity of the Building, as reasonably determined by Landlord and the Contractor. Landlord shall provide a written statement of any disapproval of any Space Plan or Plans and Specifications stating the reasons for Xxxxxxxx’s disapproval. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any change in the scope of work or details of construction after Xxxxxx’s and Landlord’s approval of the Plans and Specifications shall constitute a “Change Order”, the costs of which may be charged against any available amounts of the Allowance under this Exhibit B. To the extent the Change Order delays construction of the Improvements, the same shall be a Tenant Delay.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THIS OMITTED INFORMATION.

Tenant shall maintain all its equipment, furniture and furnishings in good order and repair. If repairs are required to be made by Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof, Landlord may demand that Tenant make the same forthwith, and if Tenant refuses or neglects to commence such repairs and complete the same with reasonable dispatch after such demand, Landlord may (but shall not be required to do so) make or cause such repairs to be made and shall not be responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant’s stock or business by reason thereof. If Landlord makes or causes such repairs to be made, Tenant agrees that Tenant will forthwith on demand, pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the rate specified in Section 16.21, and if Tenant shall default in such payment, Landlord shall have the remedies provided for non-payment of rent or other charges payable hereunder.
