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.
Landlord’s Work The Landlord will provide and carry out, in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, including, without limitation, this Schedule, at the Tenant’s expense, all equipment and work other than Tenant’s Work required to be provided in order to render the Premises complete and suitable to open for business (the “Landlord’s Work”) including, but not limited to the following: • Connecting all utilities including, power to building and distribution panels to the Premises, including the requirement to provide via separate metering. • Connecting water, including without limitation hot water, to greenhouse area and distribution water tank(s). • Installation of a storage cooler. • All concrete work around the greenhouse and drive-way to the compost hut and floor for compost piles as designed. • Installation of necessary or required ventilation fans. • Installation or replacement of lighting, including without limitation any required high upper grow lights. • Installation of hand wash stations in the Premises. • Gas heaters and controls. • Any repairs or refurbishing of outer panels, germination room walls.

Upon completion of the Landlord’s Work, the Landlord shall provide the Tenant receipted invoices verifying the actual cost of completing the Landlord’s Work in the Premises. It is acknowledged and agreed that in consideration for the Tenant being responsible for all the costs associated with the Landlord’s Work as contemplated herein, the cost of the Landlord’s Work shall be included in total amount subject recoverable by the Tenant and to the Free Rent Period (as hereinafter defined) subject to the terms and conditions of this Schedule “D” and the Lease, generally.
Expansion Space As used in this paragraph, the term “Expansion Space” means any space in the Building which, at any time during the Lease Term, is occupied by a Person other than Landlord under a written lease with Landlord, and the term “Tenant’s Expansion Space” means Expansion Space which Tenant has elected to lease as provided in this paragraph. Landlord agrees to notify Tenant promptly after Landlord learns that any Expansion Space is or will become available. Subject to the prior rights of other tenants to whom Landlord has granted substantially similar rights, Tenant has the option to lease any Expansion Space which Landlord notifies Tenant is or will become available. If Tenant gives Landlord notice of its exercise of this option within thirty (30) days after notification from Landlord of the availability of the Expansion Space and if no Event of Default exists when Tenant’s notice is given, this Lease will be deemed to be amended to include Tenant’s Expansion Space as part of the Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term upon all of the same terms contained in this Lease except that (i) the Rentable Area of the Premises will be amended to include Tenant’s Expansion Space; (ii) Tenant’s Share will be increased to include the rentable area of Tenant’s Expansion Space; (iii) the Term Commencement Date with respect to Tenant’s Expansion Space will be the earlier of sixty (60) days after the date on which Tenant’s Expansion Space becomes vacant and ready for occupancy (provided that date is at least sixty (60) days after Tenant exercises its option to lease the Expansion Space), or the date on which the Expansion Space is first occupied by Tenant; (iv) if Tenant’s Expansion Space contains a rentable area of 10,000 square feet or more, and if there are less than three (3) Lease Years remaining in the Lease Term, the Lease Term will be extended to include three (3) full years from the Term Commencement Date with respect to Tenant’s Expansion Space; and (v) subject to adjustment during each Fixed Rental Period as provided in Exhibit E, Basic Rent for each year of the remaining Lease Term (as it may be extended) will be the greater of (a) the Basic Rent last paid by the Person most recently occupying Tenant’s Expansion Space or (b) Market Rent determined as provided in the Rent Rider attached as Exhibit E. If Tenant exercises this option, Tenant’s Expansion Space will be leased to Tenant in its “as is” condition and Tenant will, at its expense and in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.06, design and construct all Improvements desired by Tenant for its use and occupancy. Landlord and Tenant agree to execute such amendments to this Lease and other instruments as either of them considers necessary or desirable to reflect Tenant’s exercise of this option.
Expansion of Premises (a) Effective as of the Expansion Date the Premises (and the definition of the “Premises”) shall be modified to mean and include both the Initial Premises and the Expansion Premises. As a result of such expansion, effective upon the Expansion Date, the deemed square footage of the Premises shall be and become 31,684 square feet and Tenant’s Prorata Share and Tenant’s Share of Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall be one hundred percent (100.00%).
(b) If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant on before August 1, 2012 for the purpose specified in Section 3(c), this Amendment shall not be void or voidable, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay monthly Base Rent or Additional Charges with respect to the Expansion Premises until the day following the date on which possession of the Expansion Premises is delivered to Tenant (such date thereupon becoming the “Expansion Date” for purposes of this Amendment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is unable to deliver the Expansion Premises by August 1, 2012 (as extended day-for-day for each day of Force Majeure Delay) (the “Expansion Premises Outside Delivery Date”), then Tenant shall have the right, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Amendment to Lease by providing written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days following the Expansion Premises Outside Delivery Date, in which event the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if the parties had not entered into this Amendment and Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant the August, 2012 Base Rent for the Expansion Premises paid by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(d). For purposes hereof, the failure of the existing tenant of the Expansion Premises to vacate the Expansion Premises shall not be an event of Force Majeure Delay.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be entitled to early occupancy of the Expansion Premises at any time after the Expansion Premises Delivery Date for the sole purposes of (1) installing Tenant’s furniture and telephone and other communications cabling and (2) performing Tenant’s Expansion Work (defined below), provided that (i) Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors will cooperate with Landlord to coordinate the performance and completion of the Landlord’s Expansion Work concurrently with Tenant’s Expansion Work, (ii) Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for delays in completing the Landlord’s Expansion Work which result from, are caused by or arise out of the interference by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors in the performance of the Landlord’s Expansion Work, (iii) Tenant and Tenant’s employees, agents and contractors shall promptly comply with any and all requests made by Landlord or Landlord’s contractor(s) that Tenant remove its property from those areas in or around which Landlord is performing the Landlord’s Expansion Work, and (iv) Landlord shall not be liable for, Tenant hereby waives all claims which Tenant may have against the Landlord Parties, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and defend Landlord against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person or property in or about the Expansion Premises resulting from or arising out of or in connection with the performance of Tenant’s Expansion Work (except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord). Tenant’s early occupancy of the Expansion Premises for the sole purpose provided in this Section shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, provided that (x) the Premises shall not include the Expansion Premises until the Expansion Date, and (y) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay monthly Base Rent or Additional Charges with respect to the Expansion Premises for the period from the Expansion Premises Delivery Date until the Expansion Date.
(d) Within five (5) business days after the Expansion Date, the parties shall execute a letter confirming the Expansion Date and certifying that Tenant has accepted delivery of the Premises, in form substantially similar to EXHIBIT “D” attached to the Lease (the “Expansion Date Memorandum”). Either party’s failure to request execution of, or to execute, the Expansion Date Memorandum shall not in any way alter the Expansion Date.
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.
