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. b. 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. Tenant shall have the right to install its trade fixtures and equipment in, upon and about the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall remove the same on or before the expiration of this Lease, and if so requested by Landlord, promptly after any termination of this Lease; and provided, further, that Tenant shall promptly thereafter repair all damage caused to the Premises by reason of such installation or removal. 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.
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).
Improvements and Alterations (a) The Lessee, at the Lessee’s own cost and expense, (i) shall make alterations, renovations, repairs, improvements and additions to the Leased Property or any part thereof and substitutions and replacements therefor (collectively, “Alterations”) which are (A) necessary to repair or maintain the Improvements or the Site in the condition required by Section 9.1 or (B) necessary or advisable to restore the Improvements and the Site to its condition existing prior to a Casualty or Condemnation to the extent required pursuant to Article XIII, and (ii) so long as no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, may undertake Alterations on the Leased Property so long as such Alterations comply in all material respects with Applicable Laws and are consistent and comply with Section 9.1 and subsection (b) of this Section 9.2. (b) The making of any Alterations pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above of this Section 9.2 must be in compliance with the following requirements: The Lessee shall not make any Alterations in violation of the terms of any restriction, easement, condition, covenant or other similar matter affecting title to or binding on the Improvements or the Site. (i) No Alterations shall be undertaken until the Lessee shall have procured and paid for, so far as the same may be required from time to time, all permits and authorizations relating to such Alterations of all municipal and other Authorities having jurisdiction over the Improvements or the Site. Lessor, at the Lessee’s expense, shall join in the application for any such permit or authorization and execute and deliver any document in connection therewith, whenever such joinder is necessary or advisable; provided that, however, such joinder shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute, any assumption or responsibility or liability whatsoever. (ii) The Alterations shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws then in effect and with the Insurance Requirements. (iii) All Alterations shall, when completed, be of such a character as to not materially diminish (A) the utility of the Improvements as a corporate office complex including a corporate office building and any uses ancillary thereto, (B) the then current Fair Market Value as determined by reference to the Appraisal, or (C) the Fair Market Value as determined by reference to the Appraisal as of the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term. (iv) The Lessee shall have made adequate arrangements for payment of the cost of all Alterations when due so that the Improvements and the Site shall at all times be free of Liens for labor and materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Improvements or the Site, other than Permitted Liens; provided, that the Lessee shall have the right to engage in Permitted Contests in accordance with Section 9.5. (v) The Alterations must be located solely on the Site.
Landlord Improvements (a) On the Commencement Date, Landlord will deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant in a broom clean condition, and, along with the lighting, electrical (excluding the UPS system and the diesel generator), mechanical and plumbing fixtures, plumbing systems, dock doors and HVAC servicing the Leased Premises, hot water, doors and plate-glass, will be delivered to Tenant in good condition and repair, as defined in Section 5.05 above. (b) After receipt of the Letter of Credit and any required building permit, Landlord will commence and diligently pursue to completion, the construction of the improvements to the Leased Premises (the “Landlord Improvements”), in accordance with plans and specifications as shown in Exhibit B, subject to approval by local regulatory authorities (the “Plans”), which Plans are made a part of this Lease by reference. Any changes or modifications to the Plans must be made and accepted by written change order or agreement signed by Landlord and Tenant and will constitute an amendment to this Lease. Any Landlord Improvements made by Landlord are the property of Landlord and must be surrendered to Landlord upon the termination of this Lease without credit to Tenant. Upon completion of any Landlord Improvements and issuance of a final certificate of occupancy (to be applied for by Landlord’s general contractor) and certification from Landlord’s general contractor certifying to Tenant that all Landlord Improvements have been completed in accordance with the Plans (the “General Contractor’s Certificate”), thereafter Landlord shall provide and Tenant shall acknowledge receipt and acceptance of “as-built plans” of all work done in accordance with this Section 6.01. (c) Landlord shall furnish an allowance of up to $172,800.00 (One hundred seventy-two thousand, eight hundred dollars) (“Landlord Improvement Allowance”) to be credited against the cost of the construction of the Landlord Improvements. If the actual cost of construction of the Landlord Improvements is less than the Landlord Improvement Allowance (“Allowance Overage”), Tenant shall have no right or claim to such difference; provided however, that if there is an Allowance Overage, Landlord, upon submission of supporting documentation by Tenant, will reimburse Tenant for any third party costs of low voltage wiring and laboratory benches for the Leased Premises, but such reimbursement shall not exceed the lesser of the Allowance Overage or 69,120.00 (Sixty-nine thousand, one hundred twenty & xx/100 dollars). If the actual cost of construction of the Landlord Improvements exceeds the Landlord Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall pay such excess cost to Landlord within ten (10) business days after receipt of supporting documentation and the General Contractor’s Certificate,. (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6.01 (c) above, within 30 days after the issuance of the General Contractor’s Certificate, Landlord will determine the sum of (i) the actual cost of the Landlord Improvements, plus (ii) if any, the actual costs submitted by Tenant towards the Contingent Allowance, and the product of the calculation shall be rounded to the next $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars). If the resultant amount is less than the Landlord Improvement Allowance, Landlord shall reduce the monthly Base Rent by $20.25 (“Base Rent Reduction Factor”) for each whole $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars) of such amount effective January 1, 2012. If it is determined that the monthly Base Rent is to be reduced and if Tenant has already paid Base Rent in a pre-reduction amount, Landlord shall give Tenant credit for any such excess payment, and reduction in monthly Base Rent shall be memorialized in an amendment to this Lease. In the event that the monthly Base Rent is reduced in accordance with this Section 6.01(d), there shall be no reduction in the Security Deposit Amount or in the requirements set forth for the Letter of Credit. The following example illustrates the intentions of the parties hereto as to computation of any reduction of the monthly Base Rent: Assumptions: 1. Actual cost of the Landlord Improvements: $100,000.00 2. Actual cost of qualifying costs for Contingent Allowance: $50,500.00 Total cost of Landlord Improvements and Contingent Allowance Costs: ($100,000.00 + $50,500.00) = $150,500.00 Determination of reduction in monthly Base Rent: Total Landlord Improvement Allowance $ 172,800.00 Less total cost of Landlord Improvements and contingent costs 150,500.00 $ 22300.00 Rounded to next $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars) $ 23,000.00 Divided by $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars) 1,000.00 Base Rent Reduction Factor 20.25 Reduction in monthly Base Rent $ 465.75 (e) In addition to the Landlord Improvements, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall have the following additional work performed on the Leased Premises prior to delivery of possession to Tenant, such work to be coordinated with the construction of the Landlord Improvements: (i) Replace all stained, damaged or missing ceiling tiles, (ii) Paint all walls in the Leased Premises, the color to be designated by Tenant, (iii) Replace all vinyl floor tiles in the open laboratory area as shown in Exhibit C, (iv) Shampoo all carpets in the office areas and hallways and (v) Any existing water supply or drainage pipes in the open lab area that are not initially utilized by Tenant shall be capped and made reasonably flush with the floor, but such capping shall allow for those pipes to be tapped by Tenant for future use. (vi) Re-caulk all perimeter flashing; install new pads under all gas line blocking; repair any loose or open curb or wall flashing; repack all pitch pans; repair any open joints on gravel guard; repair any loose scupper flashing; clean, prime and install EPDM peel and stick tape to all roof side tilt wall joints; clean all debris from around drains and entire roof; install Xxxxxx 97 asbestos free aluminum coating to entire roof surface (vii) Repair any existing alligator or pothole areas.
Additional Premises Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to expand the Premises to include an additional fifteen thousand four hundred ten (15,410) square feet of Rentable Area located on the first (1st) floor, as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Additional Premises”) on July 1, 2012 (the “Additional Premises Delivery Date”). In the event Landlord determines the Additional Premises will be ready for delivery to Tenant in the Required Condition on the Additional Premises Delivery Date, within ten (10) business days prior to the Additional Premises Delivery Date, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written amendment to the Lease, which amendment shall provide, unless otherwise agreed in writing, (a) that the commencement date of the Additional Premises shall be the Additional Premises Delivery Date (the “Additional Premises Commencement Date”), (b) that, as of the Additional Premises Commencement Date, the Premises under the Lease shall be increased to include the Additional Premises for a total of sixty-one thousand four hundred forty-four (61,444) square feet of Rentable Area (together, the Premises and the Additional Premises shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Total Premises”), (c) the new Basic Annual Rent applicable to the Total Premises, which shall commence on the Additional Premises Commencement Date and shall be as further described in Section 4.2 of this Amendment, (d) Tenant’s new Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses as of the Additional Premises Commencement Date, which Pro Rata Share shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Building and thirty-three and 51/100 percent (33.51%) of the Project and (e) that, in addition to the parking which Tenant is entitled to under the terms of the Lease with respect to the original Premises, Tenant, for so long as Tenant leases the Additional Premises, shall have a non-exclusive license to use the parking facilities serving the Building in common on an unreserved basis with other tenants of the Building and the Project at a ratio of 3.3 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of Additional Premises, which amounts to fifty-one (51) additional parking spaces, which number shall include three (3) additional Reserved Spaces. In the event the Additional Premises is not ready for delivery to Tenant in the Required Condition on the Additional Premises Delivery Date, then (x) this Amendment and the Lease shall not be void or voidable, (y) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom and (z) the new Basic Annual Rent applicable to the Premises shall be as further described in Section 4.3 of this Amendment.
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.
