• Lessee's Improvements Since Lessor is the Insuring Party, Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor under the terms of this Lease.

• Construction of Lease This Lease has been prepared by Landlord and its professional advisors and reviewed by Tenant and its professional advisors. Landlord, Tenant, and their advisors believe that this Lease is the product of all their efforts, that it expresses their agreement, and agree that it shall not be interpreted in favor of either Landlord or Tenant or against either Landlord or Tenant merely because of their efforts in preparing it.

• Landlord Improvements (a) On the Commencement Date, Landlord will deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant in a broom clean condition, and, along with the lighting, electrical (excluding the UPS system and the diesel generator), mechanical and plumbing fixtures, plumbing systems, dock doors and HVAC servicing the Leased Premises, hot water, doors and plate-glass, will be delivered to Tenant in good condition and repair, as defined in Section 5.05 above. (b) After receipt of the Letter of Credit and any required building permit, Landlord will commence and diligently pursue to completion, the construction of the improvements to the Leased Premises (the “Landlord Improvements”), in accordance with plans and specifications as shown in Exhibit B, subject to approval by local regulatory authorities (the “Plans”), which Plans are made a part of this Lease by reference. Any changes or modifications to the Plans must be made and accepted by written change order or agreement signed by Landlord and Tenant and will constitute an amendment to this Lease. Any Landlord Improvements made by Landlord are the property of Landlord and must be surrendered to Landlord upon the termination of this Lease without credit to Tenant. Upon completion of any Landlord Improvements and issuance of a final certificate of occupancy (to be applied for by Landlord’s general contractor) and certification from Landlord’s general contractor certifying to Tenant that all Landlord Improvements have been completed in accordance with the Plans (the “General Contractor’s Certificate”), thereafter Landlord shall provide and Tenant shall acknowledge receipt and acceptance of “as-built plans” of all work done in accordance with this Section 6.01. (c) Landlord shall furnish an allowance of up to $172,800.00 (One hundred seventy-two thousand, eight hundred dollars) (“Landlord Improvement Allowance”) to be credited against the cost of the construction of the Landlord Improvements. If the actual cost of construction of the Landlord Improvements is less than the Landlord Improvement Allowance (“Allowance Overage”), Tenant shall have no right or claim to such difference; provided however, that if there is an Allowance Overage, Landlord, upon submission of supporting documentation by Tenant, will reimburse Tenant for any third party costs of low voltage wiring and laboratory benches for the Leased Premises, but such reimbursement shall not exceed the lesser of the Allowance Overage or 69,120.00 (Sixty-nine thousand, one hundred twenty & xx/100 dollars). If the actual cost of construction of the Landlord Improvements exceeds the Landlord Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall pay such excess cost to Landlord within ten (10) business days after receipt of supporting documentation and the General Contractor’s Certificate,. (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6.01 (c) above, within 30 days after the issuance of the General Contractor’s Certificate, Landlord will determine the sum of (i) the actual cost of the Landlord Improvements, plus (ii) if any, the actual costs submitted by Tenant towards the Contingent Allowance, and the product of the calculation shall be rounded to the next $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars). If the resultant amount is less than the Landlord Improvement Allowance, Landlord shall reduce the monthly Base Rent by $20.25 (“Base Rent Reduction Factor”) for each whole $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars) of such amount effective January 1, 2012. If it is determined that the monthly Base Rent is to be reduced and if Tenant has already paid Base Rent in a pre-reduction amount, Landlord shall give Tenant credit for any such excess payment, and reduction in monthly Base Rent shall be memorialized in an amendment to this Lease. In the event that the monthly Base Rent is reduced in accordance with this Section 6.01(d), there shall be no reduction in the Security Deposit Amount or in the requirements set forth for the Letter of Credit. The following example illustrates the intentions of the parties hereto as to computation of any reduction of the monthly Base Rent: Assumptions: 1. Actual cost of the Landlord Improvements: $100,000.00 2. Actual cost of qualifying costs for Contingent Allowance: $50,500.00 Total cost of Landlord Improvements and Contingent Allowance Costs: ($100,000.00 + $50,500.00) = $150,500.00 Determination of reduction in monthly Base Rent: Total Landlord Improvement Allowance $ 172,800.00 Less total cost of Landlord Improvements and contingent costs 150,500.00 $ 22300.00 Rounded to next $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars) $ 23,000.00 Divided by $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars) 1,000.00 Base Rent Reduction Factor 20.25 Reduction in monthly Base Rent $ 465.75 (e) In addition to the Landlord Improvements, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall have the following additional work performed on the Leased Premises prior to delivery of possession to Tenant, such work to be coordinated with the construction of the Landlord Improvements: (i) Replace all stained, damaged or missing ceiling tiles, (ii) Paint all walls in the Leased Premises, the color to be designated by Tenant, (iii) Replace all vinyl floor tiles in the open laboratory area as shown in Exhibit C, (iv) Shampoo all carpets in the office areas and hallways and (v) Any existing water supply or drainage pipes in the open lab area that are not initially utilized by Tenant shall be capped and made reasonably flush with the floor, but such capping shall allow for those pipes to be tapped by Tenant for future use. (vi) Re-caulk all perimeter flashing; install new pads under all gas line blocking; repair any loose or open curb or wall flashing; repack all pitch pans; repair any open joints on gravel guard; repair any loose scupper flashing; clean, prime and install EPDM peel and stick tape to all roof side tilt wall joints; clean all debris from around drains and entire roof; install Xxxxxx 97 asbestos free aluminum coating to entire roof surface (vii) Repair any existing alligator or pothole areas.
