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. In addition, the Project shall at all times remain in substantial conformity with the original Plans and Specifications therefor (except to the extent specifically consented to by the FCRHA, in its sole but reasonable discretion).
(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.
(d) No construction of any Capital Improvement shall be commenced until Tenant shall have delivered to the FCRHA certificates of insurance and copies of the declaration page(s) for the insurance required by Exhibit D. Such insurance policies shall comply with the terms of Section 7.02 above.
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.
Notice to Proceed - Site Improvements The Recipient shall not commence, or cause to be commenced, any site improvements or other work on the Land until the Director has issued a Notice to Proceed to the Recipient. Such Notice to Proceed will not be issued until the Director is assured that the Recipient has complied with all requirements for the approval of a grant under Revised Code Sections 164.20 through 164.27 and has completed any land acquisition required by the Project. A Notice to Proceed shall be required for all Project prime contractors or direct procurement initiated by the Recipient following execution of this Agreement.
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.
Tenant Improvement Plans Any work proposed by Tenant (the “Tenant Improvements”) shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable prior approval and shall be subject to the other terms and conditions of this Exhibit C; provided that it will be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its approval or consent (as and when applicable under this Exhibit C) if Landlord’s Mortgagee has not consented to the matter that is the subject of such approval or consent. All architectural, engineering and other design fees shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall use its architect, engineers and other design professionals, all of whom shall comply with any applicable licensing or governmental requirements of the City of Seattle and the State of Washington; Tenant’s architect shall be approved by Landlord (“Tenant’s Architect”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall also be entitled to receive a copy of the agreement between Tenant and Tenant’s Architect (the “Architect Agreement”). Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to prepare a draft space plan (the “Space Plan”) for the Tenant Improvements and shall submit the proposed Space Plan to Landlord for the latter’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) in a time period to allow Tenant to timely complete its Tenant Improvements under this Lease. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any written objections, questions or comments of Landlord with regard to the Space Plan within ten (10) business days of receipt; Landlord’s consent thereto shall be deemed given if not denied in writing within said ten (10) business day period. If Landlord denies its approval, it shall specify the reasons for doing so in detail. Tenant shall cause the Space Plan to be revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said Space Plan to Landlord for approval. Such process shall continue until Landlord has approved the Space Plan. Tenant’s Architect shall then prepare working drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements, including architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and fire protection drawings as required, suitable for permit application (the “Working Drawings”) and shall submit the proposed Working Drawings to Landlord for the latter’s approval in a time period to allow Tenant to timely complete its Tenant Improvements under this Lease. The Space Plan and Working Drawings shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which Landlord agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Landlord shall not be deemed to have acted unreasonably if it withholds its approval thereof because, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the work, as described in any such item: (i) is likely to adversely affect Building Systems, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building and/or their occupants; (ii) might impair Landlord’s ability to furnish services to Tenant or other tenants in the Building; (iii) would materially increase the cost of operating the Building; (iv) would violate any governmental laws, rules or ordinances (or interpretations thereof); (v) contains or uses hazardous or toxic materials or substances; (vi) would negatively affect the appearance of the Building; (vii) is reasonably likely to adversely affect another tenant’s premises; or (viii) is prohibited by any ground lease affecting the Building or any mortgage, trust deed or other instrument encumbering the Building. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any written objections, questions or comments of Landlord with regard to the Working Drawings, within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Working Drawings; Landlord’s consent thereto shall be deemed given if not denied in writing within said ten (10) business day period. If Landlord denies its approval, it shall specify the reasons for doing so in detail. Tenant shall cause the Working Drawings to be revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said Working Drawings to Landlord for approval. Landlord may, when approving the Tenant Improvement Plans, elect to require Tenant to remove any Non-Standard Improvements which are made to the Premises. If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall, at its own cost, restore the Premises to the condition designated by Landlord in its election, before the last day of the Term. Such process shall continue until both parties have approved the Working Drawings. Landlord’s approval of the Space Plan and/or the Working Drawings shall not be deemed any representation or warranty that the same comply with applicable codes.

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.
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.
