Landlord’s Approval Tenant shall not make, or allow to be made, any alterations, physical additions, improvements or partitions, including without limitation the attachment of any fixtures or equipment, in, about or to the Premises (“Alterations”) without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to proposed Alterations which: (i) comply with all Applicable Laws; (ii) are, in Landlord’s opinion, compatible with the Building or the Project and the Base Building Systems , and will not cause the Building or Project or Base Building Systems to be required to be modified to comply with any Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act); and (iii) will not materially interfere with the use and occupancy of any other portion of the Building or Project by any other tenant or its invitees. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to approve all plans and specifications for the proposed Alterations, construction means and methods, all appropriate permits and licenses, any contractor or subcontractor to be employed on the work of Alterations, and the time for performance of such work, and may impose rules and regulations for contractors and subcontractors performing such work. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, specify engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, and architects to perform work affecting the Base Building Systems. Tenant shall also supply to Landlord any documents and information reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s consideration of a request for approval hereunder. No review or consent by Landlord of or to any proposed Alteration or additional work shall constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 12, nor constitute any warranty or representation that the same complies with all applicable Laws, for which Tenant shall at all times be solely responsible. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all out-of-pocket, reasonable costs which Landlord may incur in connection with granting approval to Tenant for any such Alterations, including any costs or expenses which Landlord may incur in electing to have outside architects and engineers review said plans and specifications. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord a fee for its review of plans and its management and supervision of the progress of the work in an amount equal to 3% of the cost of any Alterations (other than for Minor Alterations). The Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Agreement shall not be deemed to be Alterations hereunder.
Tenant’s Plans Tenant shall be solely responsible for the preparation of the final architectural, electrical and mechanical construction drawings, plans and specifications (called “Tenant’s Plans”) necessary to construct the Relocation Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, which plans shall be submitted to Landlord for approval by Landlord’s architect and engineers on or before June 1, 2012, and Tenant’s Plans shall comply with their requirements to avoid aesthetic or other conflicts with the design and function of the balance of the Building. Landlord’s architect and engineers shall respond to any plan submission by Tenant within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt thereof. In the event Landlord’s architect’s or engineers’ approval of Tenant’s Plans is withheld or conditioned (and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned), Landlord shall send written notification thereof to Tenant and include a reasonably detailed statement identifying the reasons for such refusal or condition, and Tenant shall have the plans revised by its architect to incorporate all reasonable objections and conditions presented by Landlord and shall resubmit such plans to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice of disapproval. Such process shall be followed until the plans shall have been approved by the Landlord’s architect and engineer without unreasonable objection or condition, except that after the initial five-(5)-Business-day period, any further submissions/resubmissions shall be made within three (3) Business Days. If Landlord fails to respond to submitted plans within the applicable period set forth above, then the September 10, 2012, date set forth in the table incorporated in Section III.A below shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day that any such failure continues. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Relocation Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment), and Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the timely preparation and submission of all such Tenant Plans and for all elements of the design of such Tenant’s Plans and for all costs related thereto. (The word “architect” as used in this Section II (C) shall include an interior designer or space planner.)
LESSEE'S IMPROVEMENTS Since Lessor is the Insuring Party, Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor under the terms of this Lease.
Landlord’s Consent to Alterations Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may adversely affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment in more than a de minimis manner (e.g., the mere tying into Systems shall not be subject to the sole discretion standard) or which can be seen from outside the Building. Tenant shall pay (i) for Alterations performed by Tenant, Landlord’s reasonable third-party costs incurred in connection with reviewing such Alterations, and (ii) for Alterations for which Tenant has engaged Landlord to supervise and Landlord’s contractors to perform, a supervision fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the total cost of such Alteration (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing supervisory fee shall not be due or payable in connection with the Tenant Improvements and the Vivarium improvements and no supervisory fee shall be due or payable in connection with any capital improvements performed by Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Landlord approval shall be required (provided advance notice shall be provided to Landlord) for (a) installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to the Systems, (b) Alterations which could not reasonably be expected to affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment and which cost less than $150,000 for any one (1) job and no more than $300,000 in the aggregate in any calendar year during the Lease Term (excluding any costs for painting, carpeting, and similar purely cosmetic work), (c) Alterations which do not require a building permit, and (d) merely cosmetic work (such as painting and carpeting). The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
Tenant’s Work During the Term Tenant may not perform any work, alterations, installations, additions, improvements, structural repairs or restorations to the Property (“Tenant’s Work”) without the prior written consent of Landlord which (i) in the case of alterations, additions, installations or improvements of a structural nature or involving the Building systems, may be granted or withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion and (ii) in the case of alterations or improvements of a non-structural nature or not involving Building systems, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In connection with such consent, Tenant shall submit to Landlord such detailed plans, specifications, drawings and other materials reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant may make such non-structural alterations and perform work of a decorative nature without Xxxxxxxx’s prior written consent. At Tenant’s sole cost, Xxxxxxxx agrees to cooperate with Xxxxxx (including signing applications) in obtaining any necessary permits for any Tenant’s Work that Xxxxxx is permitted to make hereunder. In all cases the Tenant’s Work shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and by contractors selected by Xxxxxx. Tenant agrees that the Tenant’s plans and specifications shall be in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, that Tenant shall not commence construction until it obtains (if required) a building permit for Tenant’s Work, and that such Tenant’s Work shall be performed in accordance with the building permit, in compliance with applicable law and in accordance with the Tenant’s plans and specifications. As a condition of approving such Tenant's Work the Landlord may require the Tenant to maintain such additional insurance coverages (in addition to those required in Article 8 hereof) as the Landlord may reasonably require.
Tenant’s Alterations (a) The construction of the initial Leasehold Improvements (as defined in Exhibit C) shall be governed by the terms of Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof. Except for the Leasehold Improvements and as otherwise set forth below, Tenant shall not, and shall not permit any Tenant Agent to, cut, drill into, or secure any fixture, apparatus, or equipment, or make alterations, improvements, or physical additions of any kind to any part of the Premises (collectively, “Alterations”) without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. If Landlord fails to respond to a request for consent to a proposed Alteration within 10 business days after Landlord’s receipt of such request, the request shall be deemed denied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord fails to respond within such 10 business-day period, Tenant may thereafter send to Landlord a second written requesting approval of the proposed Alteration, which request must set forth in bold and 14-point capitalized type on the first page thereof the following statement: “SECOND AND FINAL REQUEST—LANDLORD HAS 10 BUSINESS DAYS TO RESPOND PURSUANT TO SECTION 9” (“Second Alteration Request”). If Landlord then fails to respond to the Second Alteration Request within 10 business days after receipt thereof (“Second Alteration Request Response Period”), Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to consent to the proposed Alteration, provided Tenant shall otherwise have complied with all provisions of this Lease relating to such Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord notifies Tenant in writing within the Second Alteration Request Response Period that Landlord requires additional time to review the request, then the Second Alteration Request Response Period shall be extended by an additional 10 business days. “
Alterations For purposes of this Lease, any physical improvement addition, enhancement or change with respect to all or any portion of the Premises is referred to as an "Alteration." Tenant or Franchisor shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to make or cause to be made any Alteration in or to the Premises (i) without Landlord's consent, if such Alteration is performed in order to comply with any of Tenant's agreements with Franchisor and such Alteration does not adversely affect any structural component of the Building and (ii) in the case of any Alteration other than those permitted under clause (i) above, with Landlord's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that such Alteration does not (A) diminish the value of the Premises (including, by way of example only, but without limitation, by diminishing the utility of the Improvements for use as a restaurant or diminishing the useful life of the Improvements), except to a de minimis extent, or (B) adversely affect any structural component of the Building. Every Alteration shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws, legal requirements and the Permitted Encumbrances. If Tenant shall submit a request to Landlord for Landlord's approval of an Alteration which requires Landlord's approval, Landlord shall (x) approve such Alteration proposed by Tenant within twenty-one (21) days of receiving Tenant's proposal and request for approval or (y) disapprove Tenant's proposal in writing with a detailed explanation of its objections within twenty-one (21) days of receiving Tenant's proposal and request for approval. If Tenant submits a proposal to Landlord and Landlord disapproves such proposal within the twenty-one (21) day time period, Tenant may submit another proposal with modifications thereto made in response to Landlord's objections and Landlord shall so approve or disapprove same within seven (7) days after submission of such modified proposal. If Landlord does not approve or disapprove any proposal or modified proposal in writing with a detailed explanation of its objections within the applicable seven (1) or twenty-one (21) day period, Tenant may submit to Landlord a reminder notice, which shall state that Landlord's failure to disapprove the applicable proposal within seven (7) days after receipt of such reminder notice shall be deemed to constitute Landlord's approval thereof. If Landlord does not disapprove such proposal or modified proposal in writing with a detailed explanation of Landlord's objections to Tenant's modifications within seven (7) days after receipt of Tenant's reminder notice, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Alterations proposed by Tenant.
Tenant’s Space Plans Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and the TI Architect schematic drawings and outline specifications (the “TI Design Drawings”) detailing Tenant’s requirements for the Tenant Improvements within 5 business days of the date hereof. Not more than 2 days thereafter, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the written objections, questions or comments of Landlord and the TI Architect with regard to the TI Design Drawings. Tenant shall cause the TI Design Drawings to be revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said drawings to Landlord for approval within 2 days thereafter. Such process shall continue until Landlord has approved the TI Design Drawings.
Tenant Work Before commencing any repair or Alteration (“Tenant Work”), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, and obtain Landlord’s approval of, (a) names of contractors, subcontractors, mechanics, laborers and materialmen; (b) evidence of contractors’ and subcontractors’ insurance; and (c) any required governmental permits. Tenant shall perform all Tenant Work (i) in a good and workmanlike manner using materials of a quality reasonably approved by Landlord; (ii) in compliance with any approved plans and specifications, all Laws, the National Electric Code, and Landlord’s construction rules and regulations; and (iii) in a manner that does not impair the Base Building. If, as a result of any Tenant Work, Landlord becomes required under Law to perform any inspection, give any notice, or cause such Tenant Work to be performed in any particular manner, Tenant shall comply with such requirement and promptly provide Landlord with reasonable documentation of such compliance. Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications shall not relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Section 7.3. In performing any Tenant Work, Tenant shall not use contractors, services, labor, materials or equipment that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would disturb labor harmony with any workforce or trades engaged in performing other work or services at the Project.
Landlord’s Consent Required Subject to the remaining provisions of this Article 11, but notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall not assign, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease (either absolutely or collaterally) or sublease or allow any third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limitation, Tenant agrees that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (1) the proposed transferee’s financial condition does not meet the criteria Landlord uses to select Building tenants having similar leasehold obligations; (2) the proposed transferee is a governmental organization or present occupant of the Property, or Landlord is otherwise engaged in lease negotiations with the proposed transferee for other premises in the Property; (3) any uncured event of default exists under this Lease (or a condition exists which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would become an event of default); (4) any portion of the Building or Premises would likely become subject to additional or different Laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer; (5) the proposed transferee’s use of the Premises conflicts with the Permitted Use or any exclusive usage rights granted to any other tenant in the Building; (6) the use, nature, business, activities or reputation in the business community of the proposed transferee (or its principals, employees or invitees) does not meet Landlord’s standards for Building tenants; (7) either the Transfer or any consideration payable to Landlord in connection therewith adversely affects the real estate investment trust qualification tests applicable to Landlord or its Affiliates; or (8) the proposed transferee is or has been involved in litigation with Landlord or any of its Affiliates. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive monetary damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to a proposed Transfer and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action to enforce any such provision through specific performance or declaratory judgment. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Article is voidable at Landlord’s option.
