The sealed bids shall be delivered to Tenant and Landlord and opened jointly by Landlord and Xxxxxx.

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.
