Acceptance of the Premises Tenant or its representatives may, at reasonable times, enter upon the Premises during the progress of the work to inspect the progress thereof and to determine if the work is being performed in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.1. Tenant shall promptly give to Landlord notices of any alleged failure by Landlord to comply with those requirements. Landlord’s Work shall be deemed approved by Tenant when Tenant occupies the Premises for the conduct of its business, except for items of Landlord’s Work which are uncompleted or do not conform to Exhibit C and the Final Plans and as to which Tenant shall, in either case, have given written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date as set forth in a punch-list as set forth below. A certificate of completion by Landlord’s architect or engineer and a Certificate of Occupancy shall be evidence that Landlord’s Work has been completed except for items stated in such certificate to be incomplete or not in conformity with Exhibit C and the Final Plans. Within five (5) days after the Town of Burlington issues a temporary Certificate of Occupancy, Landlord and Tenant shall meet for the purpose of determining the work remaining in order for Landlord to achieve a final Certificate of Occupancy, each acting reasonably and in good faith, and to select a subsequent date for a joint walk-through of the Premises in order to prepare a punch-list identifying items of Landlord’s Work which are incomplete (the “Punch-list Items”). Landlord shall cause such Punch-list Items to be completed within thirty (30) days after the preparation of the list by the parties, unless the parties agree upon any longer time periods. If Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of the existence of a latent defect in Landlord’s Work within one year following the Commencement Date, then Landlord at its expense subject to its General Contractor’s warranty will repair such defect. A “latent defect” is a defect in the construction of the Premises which defect would not ordinarily be observed during a walk-through inspection.
Acceptance of Leased Premises On or before the Possession Date, Tenant and Landlord shall each execute the letter agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Letter Agreement”). By its execution of the Letter Agreement or occupancy of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to represent and certify that it has examined the Leased Premises and that it thereby accepts the Leased Premises in its condition at the time, except for the list of defects and/or omissions identified in writing prior to the Possession Date (the “Punch-List”) and latent defects, but subject, in all cases, to Landlord’s repair, maintenance and replacement obligations set forth in this Lease and to the warranty related to the Tenant Improvements, as provided in the Work Letter Agreement. After the notice provided in Section 3.03 and prior to the Possession Date, the parties shall meet in the Leased Premises to establish the Punch-List. Landlord shall review the Punch-List items with Tenant and correct all undisputed Punch- List items within a reasonable time, not to exceed thirty (30) days after receipt of the Punch- List; provided that, if any Punch-List items cannot be corrected within such thirty (30) day period despite reasonable diligence by Landlord, then, so long as Landlord commences correction of such Punch-List items within such thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues such correction to completion, no default by Landlord shall be deemed to have occurred. Punch-List items for completion taking longer than six (6) months to complete (and not otherwise the result of Force Majeure, Tenant Delay, or the COVID-19 Condition) shall trigger a day for day prorated Minimum Monthly Rent abatement. The Tenant Improvements shall be subject to a two (2) year warranty, from the Possession Date, with regard to materials, design and workmanship, as provided in more detail in the Work Letter Agreement. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord in providing required information as needed for Landlord to pursue vendor warranties on a timely basis, as requested in writing by Landlord. Landlord will pursue any valid warranty claims against its contractor beyond the two (2) year warranty provided that any expenses incurred and/or any recovery obtained shall be treated as either additional Operating Costs or an offset to Operating Costs under Section 5.03(a).
Acceptance of the Work 19.1 No act of, or failure to act by, the Owner or the OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE during the course of the Work, nor any extension of time for the completion of the Work, shall be regarded as an acceptance of such Work or any part thereof, or of materials used therein, either wholly or in part. Acceptance shall be evidenced only by the Final Payment by the Owner to Contractor. Before any final certificate shall issue, Contractor shall execute an affidavit on the certificate that it accepts the same in full payment and settlement of all claims on account of Work done and materials furnished under this Contract, and that all claims for materials provided or labor performed have been paid or set aside in full. No waiver of any breach of this Contract by the Owner or anyone acting on Owner's behalf shall be held as a waiver of any other subsequent breach thereof.
19.2 Contractor agrees to guarantee all work under this Contract for a period of one year from the date of Final Payment by the Owner or within such longer period of time as may be prescribed by law or by the terms of any applicable special guarantee required under terms of Owner’s conditional acceptance of elements of the Work the Owner deems marginally substandard. If any unsatisfactory condition or damage develops within the time of this guarantee period due to materials or workmanship that are defective, inferior, or not in accordance with the Contract, as reasonably determined by the Owner or the OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE, then the Contractor shall, when notified by the Owner or OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE, immediately place such guaranteed Work in a condition satisfactory to the Owner or OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE. Such guarantee shall be in addition to any implied warranty under law or other manufacturer’s or product supplier’s warranty. The provisions of this Article apply to Work done by Subcontractors as well as to Work done by direct employees of the Contractor, and are in addition to any other remedies or warranties provided by law.

Initial Improvements Subtenant may, at its option and subject to the provisions of the Prime Lease, including, without limitation, Article 8 thereof, complete certain initial improvements to prepare the Demised Premises for Subtenant’s occupancy thereof as described in the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B (the “Initial Improvements”), at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense without any contribution or improvement allowance from Sublandlord described in the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B); provided, however, Subtenant shall not make or permit anyone to make any Initial Improvements without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and of Prime Landlord in accordance with the Prime Lease. In connection with the foregoing, Subtenant shall submit to Sublandlord, for prior written approval by Sublandlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Prime Landlord, complete plans and specifications for any and all Initial Improvements; including, without limitation, schematic designs and work drawings. Any and all costs and expenses associated with the acquisition of cabling, equipment, furniture, security systems, or other personal property for Subtenant or the Demised Premises or the installation or placement of any of the foregoing within the Demised Premises or with the project management for the performance of the Initial Improvements (collectively, “Subtenant’s Personal Property and Services”), shall be paid for by and be the sole responsibility of Subtenant. Sublandlord acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant shall not be required to remove any Initial Improvements upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease unless the removal is required by Prime Landlord or Sublandlord is otherwise obligated to pay Prime Landlord the costs of any removal of any Initial Improvements pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Prime Lease.
Adjacent Premises If the Premises are part of a larger building, or of a group of buildings owned by Lessor which are adjacent to the Premises, the Lessee shall pay for any increase in the premiums for the property insurance of such building or buildings if said increase is caused by Lessee's acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises.
Tenant Improvements Landlord shall cause the Core and Shell Contractor or another Contractor designated by Landlord and approved by Tenant, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (“TI Contractor”, and together with Core and Shell Contractor, “Contractor”) to commence and thereafter diligently prosecute the construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter (the “Tenant Improvements”); provided, however, that before performing the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall prepare in good faith an estimated budget for the construction of the Tenant Improvements and deliver such budget to Tenant for Tenant’s written approval prior the start of construction (the “Budget”). Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively and in good faith to achieve a mutually acceptable Budget. Landlord shall update the Budget for Tenant’s review and approval at reasonable intervals and shall notify Tenant in writing if the Budget is likely to be exceeded. If there is an indication that the Budget is likely to be exceeded, Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively, if required by Tenant, to modify the scope of the Tenant Improvements to bring the same in line with a budget reasonably acceptable to Tenant. The Tenant Improvements shall be performed in a workmanlike manner and shall substantially conform with Applicable Laws and the Approved TI Plans (as defined in the Work Letter). Tenant shall pay all TI Costs, except that Landlord shall pay for TI Costs that do not exceed the TI Allowance. The “TI Allowance” shall mean (a) One Hundred Twenty Five Dollars ($125.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises (the “Initial TI Allowance”), together with (b) the Additional Allowance. The “TI Costs” shall mean all Tenant Core and Shell Costs (as defined in the Work Letter) and all costs and expenses of performing the TI Work, including without limitation the hard and soft costs of (i) construction, (ii) the Construction Management Fee (as such term is defined in the Work Letter) and any Project or construction management fees paid by Tenant to an unaffiliated third party (such fees not to exceed three percent (3%) of the TI Allowance), (iii) space planning, design, architect, engineering, data and phone cabling and other related services, (iv) costs and expenses for labor, material, equipment, data and phone cabling and fixtures (including, without limitation, any of the Attached Property (as defined in Section 18.5), (v) building permits and other taxes, fees, charges and levies by governmental and quasi-governmental agencies for permits or for inspections of the Tenant Improvements, and (vi) the Warm Shell Costs. In no event shall the TI Allowance be used for: (w) the purchase of any furniture, personal property or other non-building system equipment, (x) costs resulting from a Tenant Delay, (y) costs resulting from any default by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, or (z) costs that are recoverable or reasonably recoverable by Tenant from a third party (e.g., insurers, warrantors, or tortfeasors). In the event the estimated total TI Costs (as set forth in the Budget) exceed the TI Allowance, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord such overage (the “TI Allowance Excess”), within five (5) business days of receiving the Budget (the “TI Deposit”). In the event Landlord determines the estimate of the TI Costs set forth in the Budget underestimates the amount of TI Costs so that the TI Deposit will not be sufficient to cover the TI Allowance Excess, then Landlord shall communicate the same to Tenant and, if required by Tenant, the parties shall discuss revisions to the Budget and Tenant may make a TI Tenant Change Order Request to reduce TI Costs, and unless the TI Costs are reduced to be within the Budget and previously paid TI Deposit, Tenant shall promptly pay the additional amount to Landlord, and such additional amount shall be added to the TI Deposit. If the sum of the TI Allowance plus the TI Deposit is not sufficient to cover the TI Costs, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the difference between (a) the TI Costs and (b) the sum of the TI Allowance and the TI Deposit. However, Landlord shall be solely responsible for any costs related to the Tenant Improvements to the extent the same result from Landlord’s gross negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively at no cost or risk to Landlord to maximize Tenant’s ability, to the extent reasonably possible, to obtain the benefit of any applicable research and development tax credits with respect to the Tenant Improvements.
