Existing Improvements All improvements located on the Site as of the date of execution of the Construction Contract, whether above or below the surface of the ground, including but not limited to existing buildings, utilities, infrastructure improvements and other facilities.
Improvements and Alterations (a) Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant agrees to accept the Premises from Landlord in its existing “AS-IS”, “WHERE-IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” condition, and Landlord shall have no obligation to refurbish or otherwise improve the Premises throughout the Lease Term; provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary Landlord’s sole construction obligation under this Lease is set forth in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B. In addition, with respect to the area in the Suite 600 Space generally shown in Exhibit I attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes, Landlord at its sole cost and expense, agrees (i) to add five 12” Building standard cooling only VAV boxes, (ii) that a new supply air plenum will be added to the box and the supply air tap-outs will be cut in, (iii) that a total of four 12-inch supply air diffusers will be installed in a quadrant pattern, and (iv) that all thermostats will be relocated to their respective zones.
(b) Any alterations, additions, or improvements made by or on behalf of Tenant to the Premises (“Alterations”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, all Alterations to comply with insurance requirements and with Laws and shall construct, at its sole cost and expense, any alteration or modification required by Laws as a result of any Alterations. All Alterations shall be constructed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord and only good grades of materials shall be used. All plans and specifications for any Alterations shall be submitted to Landlord for its approval. Landlord may monitor construction of the Alterations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all out-of-pocket sums, if any paid by Landlord for third party examination of Tenant’s plans and specifications for any Alterations. In addition, Tenant shall be obligated to pay Landlord a coordination fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the actual costs of any of such Alterations, which coordination fee shall be paid to Landlord promptly following the completion of the construction of the Alterations. Such coordination fee will be deemed to cover all of Landlord’s costs and expenses for Landlord’s employees or contractors, including but not limited to management personnel, engineers and other consultants involved in review, approval coordination and/or supervision of the Alterations. Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable laws, codes, rules and regulations. Without limiting the other grounds upon which Landlord may refuse to approve any contractor or subcontractor Landlord may take into account the desirability of maintaining harmonious labor relations at the Project. Landlord may also require that all life safety related work and all mechanical electrical plumbing and roof related work be performed by contractors designated by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion to instruct Tenant to remove those improvements or Alterations from the Premises which (i) were not approved in advance by Landlord (ii) were not built in conformance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord or (iii) Landlord specified during its review of plans and specifications for Alterations would need to be removed by Tenant upon the expiration of this Lease. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall not be obligated to remove such Alterations at the expiration of this Lease. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval with respect to what improvements or Alterations Landlord may require Tenant to remove at the expiration of the Lease. If upon the termination of this Lease, Landlord require Tenant to remove any or all of such Alterations from the Premises, then Tenant, al Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall promptly remove such Alterations and improvements and Tenant shall repair and restore the Premises to its original condition as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Any Alterations remaining in the Premises following the expiration of the Lease Term or following the surrender of the Premises from Tenant to Landlord, shall become the property of Landlord unless Landlord notifies Tenant otherwise. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the identities and mailing addresses of
Improvements The buildings, structures, fixtures, additions, enlargements, extensions, modifications, repairs, replacements and improvements now or hereafter erected or located on the Land (collectively, the “Improvements”);
Improvement Plans A professional improvement plan is a clearly articulated assistance program for a teacher whose student growth measure dimension of the evaluation is below the expected level of student growth. For the purposes of this agreement, improvement plans shall be based on the individual student growth measure level, and not for overall subjects or classes taught.
ALTERATIONS & IMPROVEMENTS Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements or do any type of construction to the Property without first obtaining Landlord's written consent. Unless prior written agreement is reached between Tenant and Landlord, any such alterations, additions, improvements or construction shall become part of the Property and shall remain at the expiration of Tenant's Lease term. If Landlord approves of alterations, additions, improvements or construction in writing and Tenant intends to use contractors to undertake such work, the contractors must first be approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant must also place any funds to cover the amount of any alterations, additions, improvements or construction in an escrow account approved by Landlord before the commencement of the work. Landlord shall designate the times and manner of the work being done, exclusively.
Initial Improvements (a) On the Commencement Date, Tenant shall accept the Premises in its “as is” condition. All improvements, alterations and betterments (an “Alteration”) shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s expense in accordance with the terms of this Article 5.
(b) Tenant may improve the Premises for Tenant’s initial occupancy in accordance with detailed specifications and working drawings to be prepared by Tenant’s engineers and architects. The detailed specifications and working drawings are hereinafter referred to as “Tenant’s Plans”, and the work shown by the Tenant’s Plans is hereinafter referred to as “Tenant’s Initial Improvements”. Tenant’s Initial Improvements shall include, and Landlord shall have no liability to tenant for not performing, the work specified on Exhibit H.
(c) Tenant shall proceed forthwith to cause Tenant’s Plans to be prepared by an architect licensed as such in the State of New York. Tenant’s Plans, including structural and mechanical drawings and specifications, shall be prepared at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall submit five (5) sets of Tenant’s Plans and two (2) CAD discs which shall contain such Tenant’s Plans in CAD format to Landlord for Landlord’s approval. Landlord agrees to review Tenant’s Plans and to approve the same or make written exceptions thereto within fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of the submission of the plans. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of Tenant’s Plans, and failure by Landlord to provide the written exceptions within the fifteen (15) Business Day period aforesaid shall be deemed approval of Tenant’s Plans; provided, however, that five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Tenant shall send a second notice to Landlord with the phrase “FAILURE TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE TENANT’S PLANS WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE DATE HEREOF SHALL RESULT IN THE DEEMED APPROVAL OF TENANT’S PLANS” in bold lettering at the top of such notice. If Landlord disapproves Tenant’s Plans, Tenant shall revise them and re-submit them to Landlord for approval. Any disapproval given by Landlord shall be accompanied by a statement in reasonable detail of the reasons for such disapproval, itemizing those portions of the plans so disapproved. Landlord shall advise Tenant within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of Tenant’s revised plans of Landlord’s approval or disapproval of the revised plans or portions thereof, and shall set forth its reasons for any such further disapproval in writing and in reasonable detail. If Landlord fails to approve or disapprove such revised plans within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such revised plans or such portions thereof; provided, however, that five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Tenant shall send a second notice to Landlord with the phrase “FAILURE TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE TENANT’S PLANS, AS REVISED, WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE DATE HEREOF SHALL RESULT IN THE DEEMED APPROVAL OF TENANT’S PLANS, AS REVISED” in bold lettering at the top of such notice. Any dispute regarding the reasonableness of Landlord’s withholding of its consent to Tenant’s Plans shall be submitted to expedited arbitration pursuant to Section 9.19 hereof. Upon approval by Landlord of Tenant’s Plans, Tenant shall submit the same to the New York City Department of Buildings for approval and for issuance of a building permit to perform the Improvements. Landlord agrees, at Tenant’s cost and expense, to reasonably cooperate with Tenant and Tenant’s independent licensed architect and engineer in providing information needed for the preparation of Tenant’s Plans, the application for a building permit and all other permits required for the Improvements, and to promptly execute all documents reasonably necessary to be signed by Landlord.
(d) Tenant agrees to hire a reputable general contractor, construction manager or subcontractors and materialmen (hereinafter “Contractor(s)”) to be approved by Landlord such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (other than with respect to Contractors performing connections to any Building systems which Contractors shall be those designated by Landlord provided such Contractors shall perform such work at market prices). For purposes of Tenant’s Initial Improvements, Xxxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Consulting Engineers are deemed approved by Landlord. Tenant shall cause its Contractor(s) to perform Tenant’s Initial Improvements in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with (x) the approved Tenant’s Plans and any material amendments or additions thereto approved by Tenant and Landlord and all municipal authorities having jurisdiction; provided, however, that, with respect to any subsequent amendments, additions, change orders or modifications after Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Plans, Landlord shall approve or disapprove of such changes within fifteen (15) Business Days of the receipt of such changes from Tenant and (y) all provisions of Laws and any and all permits and other requirements specified by any ordinance, law or public regulation. If Landlord fails to approve or disapprove such subsequent amendments, additions, change orders or modifications within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such subsequent amendments, additions, change orders or modifications or such portions thereof; provided, however, that five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) Business Day period, Tenant shall send a second notice to Landlord with the phrase “FAILURE TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE TENANT’S PLANS, AS REVISED, WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE DATE HEREOF SHALL RESULT IN THE DEEMED APPROVAL OF TENANT’S PLANS, AS REVISED” in bold lettering at the top of such notice. Tenant shall cause the Contractor(s) to obtain and maintain throughout the work, Workers’ Compensation Insurance and New York State Disability Insurance in the amounts required under any applicable Laws and comprehensive general liability insurance, including contractual liability coverage, in an amount of not less than $2 million combined single limit for bodily injury or death for any one occurrence, and for property damage, plus a $10 million umbrella policy; provided, however, that any subcontractor or materialman shall only be required to carry such liability insurance as is being carried by prudent subcontractors or materialmen within such trade at the time such subcontractor or materialman is being employed by Tenant or its Contractors. The liability coverage shall name Landlord and Overlandlord as additional insured parties, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord proper certificates of insurance confirming the coverages described above prior to commencement of Tenant’s Initial Improvements. If Tenant acts as its own General Contractor or Construction Manager, Tenant shall obtain and maintain such insurance. All Contractor(s) shall be members of a union affiliated with the building trades in the City of New York that has jurisdiction over the Building and Tenant’s Initial Improvements. Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor, the actual out of pocket fees and disbursements paid by Landlord to architects, engineers and other technical advisors, other than the regular staff of Landlord for reviewing Tenant’s Plans, provided such fees are commercially reasonable.
(e) Landlord shall pay to Tenant pursuant to Section 5.01(f) hereof Construction Costs and Softs Costs (as hereinafter defined) in an amount (the “Construction Allowance”) which shall not exceed $1,638,850.00, provided, however, that payments in respect of Soft Costs shall not in the aggregate exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Construction Allowance. Tenant shall pay from its own funds, and Landlord shall have no obligation with respect to, (y) any and all costs which are not Construction Costs or Softs Costs and/or (z) any and all Construction Costs in excess of the Construction Allowance or Soft Costs in excess of the limitation described in the foregoing sentence. As used in this Lease, the term “Construction Costs” means amounts actually incurred and paid by Tenant and Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors and vendors in connection with Tenant’s Initial Improvements solely for the documented, bona fide cost of (i) construction supplies and materials which are physically installed in and made a part of the Premises, including the documented, bona fide costs of carpeting, wall coverings, partitions, any electric meter or submeter, and permit fees, and (ii) labor actually performed within the Premises. The term “Soft Costs” means amounts actually incurred and paid by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s Initial Improvements solely for the documented, bona fide cost of accounting, legal, architectural, engineering and other professional or consulting services.
Capital Improvements From and after Final Completion, Tenant shall not replace or materially alter the Project, or any part thereof (except as provided to the contrary with respect to Fixtures in Article 13), or make any addition thereto, whether voluntarily or in connection with repairs required by this Lease (collectively, “Capital Improvements”), unless Tenant shall comply with the following requirements and, if applicable, with the additional requirements set forth in Section 11.10:
(a) No Capital Improvements shall be undertaken, as applicable, until Tenant shall have procured from all Governmental Authorities and paid for all permits, consents, certificates and approvals for the proposed Capital Improvements which are required to be obtained prior to the commencement of the proposed Capital Improvements (collectively, “Improvement Approvals”). The FCRHA shall not unreasonably refuse to join or otherwise unreasonably refuse to cooperate in the application for any such Improvement Approvals, provided such application is made without cost, expense or liability (contingent or otherwise) to the FCRHA. True copies of all such Improvement Approvals shall be delivered by Tenant to the FCRHA prior to commencement of the proposed Capital Improvements.
(b) The Premises after completion of such Capital Improvements, shall have a value at least equal to the value of the Premises immediately before construction of such Capital Improvements.

(c) All Capital Improvements shall be made with reasonable diligence and continuity (subject to Unavoidable Delays) and in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with (i) all Improvement Approvals, (ii) if required pursuant to Section 11.10(a) or (b), in substantial accordance with the plans and specifications for such Capital Improvements as approved by the FCRHA, and (iii) all Applicable Laws.

Leasehold Improvements a. Tenant accepts the Premises “AS IS” without any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any alterations, repairs or improvements except as expressly set forth in this Lease. ADDITIONALLY, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE, LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PREMISES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF SUITABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY NEGATED AND WAIVED.

Tenant agrees that it will make no exterior or structural alterations or additions to the Premises nor post or attach or affix to the exterior of the Premises, any signs, air conditioners or other objects without memorializing such proposed alterations, attachments, or fixtures in a Tenant work letter (in form acceptable to Landlord) and obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent to same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to make interior, non-structural alterations to the Premises without Landlord’s consent, so long as such alterations do not (i) affect the structure or electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems of the Premises; or (ii) decrease the value of the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of such alterations or signs.

c. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), losses, liabilities, or causes of action arising out of or relating to any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant to the Premises, including, but not limited to, work not completed in a workmanlike manner and any contractor’s, mechanics’ or materialman’s liens asserted in connection therewith. This indemnification obligation shall survive the Term of this Lease.
d. Should any contractor’s, mechanic’s or other liens be filed against any portion of the Premises by reason of Tenant’s acts or omissions or because of a claim against Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled or discharged of record by bond or otherwise within thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to cancel or discharge said lien or liens, within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord may, at its sole option, cancel or discharge the same and upon Landlord’s demand, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs incurred in canceling or discharging such liens, including attorney fees in connection with same.
Public Improvements To the best knowledge of the Transferor Partnership, there are no written or proposed plans to widen, modify, or realign any street or highway or any existing or proposed eminent domain proceedings which would affect the Property in any way whatsoever. To the best knowledge of the Transferor Partnership, there are no presently planned public improvements which would result in the creation of a special improvement or similar lien upon the Property.
