Substantial Completion “Substantial Completion” means the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work, or designated portions thereof, may still require minor modifications or adjustments but, in the Owner’s opinion, the Work has progressed to the point such that all parts of the Work under consideration are fully operational and usable for intended purposes, as evidenced by a Certificate of Substantial Completion approved by the Owner. If a Certificate of Occupancy is required by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work, said certificate shall be issued before the Work or any portion thereof is considered substantially complete. When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor shall notify Owner’s Designated Representative (sometimes referred to as the “ODR”) and request a determination as to whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the ODR does not consider the Work substantially complete, the ODR will notify the Contractor giving reasons therefore. Failure on the Owner’s part to list a reason does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. After satisfactorily completing items identified by Owner’s Designated Representative, the Contractor shall then submit another request for the ODR to determine Substantial Completion. If The ODR considers the Work substantially complete, The ODR will prepare and deliver a certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall include a punch list of items to be completed or corrected before final completion and final payment, shall establish the time within which the Contractor shall finish the punch list, and shall establish responsibilities of the Owner and the Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, warranty and insurance. Failure to include an item on the punch list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The certificate of Substantial Completion shall be signed by the Owner and the Contractor to evidence acceptance of the responsibilities assigned to them in such certificate. Substantial Completion (as defined in this agreement) for all stages of the Work shall be achieved on or before the following Substantial Completion date: DATE FOR SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION: TBD Under no circumstances will the time for Substantial Completion exceed this date without a written amendment to this Agreement. THE TIMES SET FORTH IN THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT. TIME LIMITS STATED IN THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS ARE OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Completion Date The Work under this Contract shall be completed by midnight of the date required in the Contract as the Material Completion and Occupancy Date unless extended by approved requests for extension of time.
Delay of the Substantial Completion of the Premises Except as provided in this Section 5.2, the Lease Commencement Date shall occur as set forth in the Lease and Section 5.1, above. If there shall be a delay or there are delays in the Substantial Completion of the Premises or in the occurrence of any of the other conditions precedent to the Lease Commencement Date, as set forth in the Lease, as a direct, indirect, partial, or total result of:
Final Completion The full and final completion of all Work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
Delivery; Acceptance of Premises; Commencement Date Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant on or before the Target Commencement Date, with Landlord’s Work Substantially Completed (“Delivery” or “Deliver”). If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and this Lease shall not be void or voidable except as provided herein. If Landlord does not Deliver the Premises within 45 days of the Target Commencement Date for any reason other than Force Majeure delays and Tenant Delays, this Lease may be terminated by Tenant by written notice to Landlord, and if so terminated by Tenant: (a) the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof (i.e., after deducting therefrom all amounts to which Landlord is entitled under the provisions of this Lease), shall be returned to Tenant, and (b) neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Lease, except with respect to provisions which expressly survive termination of this Lease. As used herein, the terms “Landlord’s Work,” “Tenant Delays” and “Substantially Completed” shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Work Letter. If Tenant does not elect to void this Lease within 10 business days of the lapse of such 45 day period, such right to void this Lease shall be waived and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant does not terminate this Lease pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Base Rent shall be abated 1 day for each day after such 45 day period (as extended by Force Majeure delays and Tenant Delays) that the Premises are not Delivered to Tenant.

Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to "Substantially Complete" the Landlord's Work not later than ________, 20________ (the "Substantial Completion Target Date"). For purposes of this lease, Landlord's Work shall be deemed to be "Substantially Complete" as of the date on which the general contractor or the architect employed by Landlord with respect to the construction and/or installation of Landlord's Work shall certify in writing to Landlord that: (i) Landlord's Work has been substantially completed in all material respects substantially in accordance with the approved plans and specifications therefor, if any; and (ii) a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy has been issued by the governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect to Landlord's Work or the governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect to Landlord's Work has otherwise evidenced its approval of Landlord's Work. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant in the event that Landlord shall fail for any reason whatsoever to Substantially Complete Landlord's Work on or before the Substantial Completion Target Date (including, without limitation, for any damages that Tenant may suffer as a result thereof or in connection therewith); provided, however, in such event, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete Landlord's Work as soon as possible thereafter. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete any portions or aspects of Landlord's Work which shall be incomplete as of the date of Substantial Completion of Landlord's Work as soon as possible thereafter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the construction and/or installation of Landlord's Work by Landlord shall not be deemed in any way to constitute a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Commencement Date (as such date is set forth in Paragraph 1.3 of this lease) or to the effectiveness of any of the agreements or obligations of Tenant set forth in this lease with respect to the demised premises (including, without limitation, the commencement of the obligation to pay Rent by Tenant as of the Commencement Date).
Project Completion Part 1 – Material Completion
Landlord Work All of the work described to be performed by Landlord in this paragraph 1 is collectively referred to as the "Landlord Work". All Landlord Work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable laws and this Lease, in a good and workmanlike manner, as appropriate by engineers, surveyors, architects and consultants, who are bondable, licensed in the State and of good reputation. Landlord's general contractor shall be experienced in shopping center development and in coordinating construction schedules with major anchors and national retailers. In the event that Landlord defaults at any time in completion of any component of the Landlord Work and fails to correct such default such that an Event of Default occurs, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform at Landlord's sole cost and expense, all or any part of Landlord's Work. Tenant shall exercise this right by providing Landlord with written notice thereof, which notice shall reasonably detail those portions of the Landlord Work which Tenant elects to complete. Tenant may exercise the rights set forth in this paragraph 1(d) from time to time so long as Tenant provides Landlord notice specified herein (i) within a reasonable amount of time prior to the date upon which Landlord would otherwise commence that portion of the Landlord Work, or (ii) at such other time where it is feasible for Tenant to take over that portion of the Landlord Work from Landlord. In the event and to the extent that Tenant exercises its right hereunder, Landlord agrees to cooperate in good faith and provide Tenant with reasonable assistance so that Tenant can complete said portions of the Landlord Work. Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for any and all costs incurred by Tenant in connection with any portion of the Landlord Work which Tenant is in the process of completing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written request from Tenant, which request shall be reasonably supported by invoices and/or written description of the Landlord Work performed. In the event that the Landlord does not timely reimburse Tenant as hereinabove contemplated, Tenant shall be entitled to deduct the costs of such Landlord Work from rentals and other payments due under the Lease, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure by Tenant until paid or otherwise deducted in full.
Completion of Repairs Borrower will commence any Repairs as soon as practicable after the date of this Loan Agreement and will diligently proceed with and complete such Repairs on or before the Completion Date. All Repairs and Capital Replacements will be completed in a good and workmanlike manner, with suitable materials, and in accordance with good building practices and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, building setback lines and restrictions applicable to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower agrees to cause the replacement of any material or work that is defective, unworkmanlike or that does not comply with the requirements of this Loan Agreement, as determined by Lender.
Tenant’s Entry Into the Premises Prior to Substantial Completion Subject to the terms hereof and provided that Tenant and its agents do not interfere with, or delay, Contractor’s work in the Building and the Premises, at Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Contractor shall allow Tenant access to the Premises prior to the Substantial Completion of the Premises for the purpose of Tenant installing any necessary furniture, equipment or fixtures (including Tenant’s data and telephone equipment) in the Premises. Prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises as permitted by the terms of this Section 6.01, Tenant shall submit a schedule to Landlord and Contractor, for their approval, which schedule shall detail the timing and purpose of Tenant’s entry, and Landlord will reasonably cooperate with Tenant to coordinate Landlord’s Contractor’s work of constructing the Tenant Improvements with such access by Tenant for the installation of Tenant’s furniture, equipment and fixtures. In connection with any such entry, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees shall fully cooperate, work in harmony and not, in any manner, interfere with Landlord or Landlord’s Contractor, agents or representatives in performing work in the Building and the Premises, or interfere with the general operation of the Building and/or the Project; and such entry shall be subject to the site management rules of Landlord and Landlord’s Contractor. If at any time any such person representing Tenant shall not be cooperative or shall otherwise cause or threaten to cause any such disharmony or interference, including, without limitation, labor disharmony, and Tenant fails to immediately institute and maintain corrective actions as directed by Landlord, then Landlord may revoke Tenant’s entry rights upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such entry into and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant or any person or entity working for or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease, excluding only the covenant to pay Rent (until the occurrence of the Lease Commencement Date). Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s work made in or about the Premises in connection with such entry or to any property placed therein prior to the Lease Commencement Date, the same being at Tenant’s sole risk and liability. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to any portion of the Premises, including the Tenant Improvement work, caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees. If the performance of Tenant’s work in connection with such entry causes extra costs to be incurred by Landlord or requires the use of any Building services, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for such extra costs and/or shall pay Landlord for such Building services at Landlord’s standard rates then in effect. In addition, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify, protect and defend Landlord against any loss or damage to the Building or Premises and against injury to any persons caused by Tenant’s actions pursuant to this Section 6.01.
