As such, Drawings and Specifications are intended to be fully cooperative and to agree. However, if Developer observes that Drawings and Specifications are in conflict with the Contract Documents, Developer shall promptly notify District and Architect in writing, and any necessary changes shall be made as provided in the Contract Documents. 9.6 Figured dimensions shall be followed in preference to scaled dimensions, and Developer shall make all additional measurements necessary for the work and shall be responsible for their accuracy. Before ordering any material or doing any work, each Developer shall verify all measurements at the building and shall be responsible for the correctness of same. 9.7 Should any question arise concerning the intent or meaning of the Contract Documents, including the Plans and Specifications, the question shall be submitted to the District for interpretation. If a conflict exists in the Contract Documents, these Construction Provisions shall control over the Facilities Lease, which shall control over the Site Lease, which shall control over Division 1 Documents, which shall control over Division 2 through Division 49 documents, which shall control over figured dimensions, which shall control over large-scale drawings, which shall control over small-scale drawings. In no case shall a document calling for lower quality and/or quantity of material or workmanship control. However, in the case of discrepancy or ambiguity solely between and among the Drawings and Specifications, the discrepancy or ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of the interpretation that will provide District with the functionally complete and operable Project described in the Drawings and Specifications. 9.8 Drawings and Specifications are intended to comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations of constituted authorities having jurisdiction, and where referred to in the Contract Documents, the laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations shall be considered as a part of the Contract Documents within the limits specified. 9.9 As required by Section 4-317(c), Part 1, Title 24, CCR: “Should any existing conditions such as deterioration or non-complying construction be discovered which is not covered by the DSA-approved documents wherein the finished work will not comply with Title 24, California Code of Regulations, a construction change document, or a separate set of plans and specifications, detailing and specifying the required repair work shall be submitted to and approved by DSA before proceeding with the repair work.”
Plans and Specifications After Landlord receives and approves Tenant’s Space Plan as provided above, Tenant will cause Tenant’s Architect to prepare the Plans and Specifications for the Tenant Improvements. Landlord will approve or disapprove (specifically describing any reasons for disapproval) the Plans and Specifications in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receiving them. If Landlord disapproves the Plans and Specifications, Tenant will provide appropriately revised Plans and Specifications to Landlord for approval (or disapproval) within five (5) Business Days on the same basis as set forth above. After Landlord’s approval, Tenant will submit the Plans and Specifications for permits and construction bids. No deviation from the Building Standard will be permitted in the Space Plan or the Plans and Specifications, provided reasonable deviations with respect to the ceiling, lighting, painting, flooring and wall covering may be permitted with Landlord’s approval. Landlord will not approve any deviations which Landlord believes (a) do not conform to applicable codes, ordinances and other Laws or are disapproved by any governmental agency, (b) require services beyond the level normally provided to other tenants in the Building, or (c) are of a nature or quality that are inconsistent with Landlord’s overall plan or objectives for the Building. No approval by Landlord of any deviation constitutes an acknowledgment by Landlord that such deviations are in conformance with applicable codes, ordinances and other Laws. In the event that Landlord’s approval shall be required in this Tenant Improvements Agreement, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, Landlord’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

For the avoidance of doubt, (A) the definition of “TI Allowance” in the Work Letter shall include the Tenant Improvement Allowance, the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance, the Suite 120 Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Additional Suite 120 Tenant Improvement Allowance, as applicable, and (B) in connection with the Tenant Improvements in the Suite 120 Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to Administrative Rent equal to 1.5% of the “hard” TI Costs incurred in connection with such Tenant Improvements and a fee shall be payable to Tenant’s third party project manager, Xxxxxxxxx XxxXxxx of Xxxxx Xxxx LaSalle, not to exceed 1.5% of the “hard” TI Costs of such Tenant Improvements, which amounts shall be payable out of the TI Fund.

Any outstanding and unamortized Suite 120 TI Rent remaining unpaid as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease shall be paid to Landlord in a lump sum at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Suite 120 TI Rent, if any, shall not be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Lease during the Term.
Tenant Improvement Plans Any work proposed by Tenant (the “Tenant Improvements”) shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable prior approval and shall be subject to the other terms and conditions of this Exhibit C; provided that it will be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its approval or consent (as and when applicable under this Exhibit C) if Landlord’s Mortgagee has not consented to the matter that is the subject of such approval or consent. All architectural, engineering and other design fees shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall use its architect, engineers and other design professionals, all of whom shall comply with any applicable licensing or governmental requirements of the City of Seattle and the State of Washington; Tenant’s architect shall be approved by Landlord (“Tenant’s Architect”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall also be entitled to receive a copy of the agreement between Tenant and Tenant’s Architect (the “Architect Agreement”). Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to prepare a draft space plan (the “Space Plan”) for the Tenant Improvements and shall submit the proposed Space Plan to Landlord for the latter’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) in a time period to allow Tenant to timely complete its Tenant Improvements under this Lease. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any written objections, questions or comments of Landlord with regard to the Space Plan within ten (10) business days of receipt; Landlord’s consent thereto shall be deemed given if not denied in writing within said ten (10) business day period. If Landlord denies its approval, it shall specify the reasons for doing so in detail. Tenant shall cause the Space Plan to be revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said Space Plan to Landlord for approval. Such process shall continue until Landlord has approved the Space Plan. Tenant’s Architect shall then prepare working drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements, including architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and fire protection drawings as required, suitable for permit application (the “Working Drawings”) and shall submit the proposed Working Drawings to Landlord for the latter’s approval in a time period to allow Tenant to timely complete its Tenant Improvements under this Lease. The Space Plan and Working Drawings shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which Landlord agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Landlord shall not be deemed to have acted unreasonably if it withholds its approval thereof because, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the work, as described in any such item: (i) is likely to adversely affect Building Systems, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building and/or their occupants; (ii) might impair Landlord’s ability to furnish services to Tenant or other tenants in the Building; (iii) would materially increase the cost of operating the Building; (iv) would violate any governmental laws, rules or ordinances (or interpretations thereof); (v) contains or uses hazardous or toxic materials or substances; (vi) would negatively affect the appearance of the Building; (vii) is reasonably likely to adversely affect another tenant’s premises; or (viii) is prohibited by any ground lease affecting the Building or any mortgage, trust deed or other instrument encumbering the Building. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any written objections, questions or comments of Landlord with regard to the Working Drawings, within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Working Drawings; Landlord’s consent thereto shall be deemed given if not denied in writing within said ten (10) business day period. If Landlord denies its approval, it shall specify the reasons for doing so in detail. Tenant shall cause the Working Drawings to be revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said Working Drawings to Landlord for approval. Landlord may, when approving the Tenant Improvement Plans, elect to require Tenant to remove any Non-Standard Improvements which are made to the Premises. If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall, at its own cost, restore the Premises to the condition designated by Landlord in its election, before the last day of the Term. Such process shall continue until both parties have approved the Working Drawings. Landlord’s approval of the Space Plan and/or the Working Drawings shall not be deemed any representation or warranty that the same comply with applicable codes.
Tenant’s Work Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that certain work required for Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Premises, including but not limited to the procurement and installation of furniture, fixtures, equipment, artwork and interior signage are beyond the scope of the Tenant Improvements and shall be performed by Tenant or its contractors at Tenant's sole cost and expense. All such work ("Tenant's Work") shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval. Tenant shall adopt a construction schedule for Tenant's Work in conformance with the Contractor's schedule, and shall perform Tenant's Work in such a way as not to hinder or delay the operations of Landlord or the Contractor in the Building. Any costs incurred by Landlord as a result of any interference with Landlord's operations by Tenant or its contractors shall be promptly paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Landlord shall make all reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of any such interference of which Landlord has actual knowledge, but failure to provide such notice shall in no way limit Landlord's right to demand payment for such costs. Tenant's contractors shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, and to the administrative supervision of the Contractor. Tenant's Work shall comply with all of the following requirements: (a) Tenant's Work shall not proceed until Landlord has approved in writing: (i) Tenant's contractors, (ii) proof of the amount and coverage of public liability and property damage insurance carried by Tenant's contractors in the form of an endorsed insurance certificate naming Landlord, the Contractor, and the agents of Landlord and the Contractor as additional insureds, in an amount not less than two million dollars, and (iii) complete and detailed plans and specifications for Tenant's Work. (b) Tenant's Work shall be performed in conformity with a valid permit when required, a copy of which shall be furnished to Landlord before such work is commenced. In any event, all Tenant's Work shall comply with all applicable laws, codes and ordinances of any governmental entity having jurisdiction over the Building. Landlord shall have no responsibility for Tenant's failure to comply with such applicable laws. Any and all delay in obtaining a certificate of occupancy due to Tenant's vendors is the responsibility of Tenant and shall be a Tenant Delay. (c) In connection with Tenant's Work (e.g., delivering or installing furniture or equipment to the second floor of the Leased Premises), Tenant or its contractors shall arrange for any necessary hoisting or elevator service with Landlord and shall pay such reasonable costs for such services as may be charged by Landlord. (d) Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord upon demand for any extra expense incurred by Landlord by reason of faulty work done by Tenant or its contractors, by reason of damage to existing work caused by Tenant or its contractors, or by reason of inadequate cleanup by Tenant or its contractors.
