Tenant’s Rights If a material portion of the Premises is damaged by Casualty such that Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Casualty and Landlord estimates that the damage caused thereby cannot be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days after the commencement of repairs (the “Repair Period”), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.
SUBLETTING OR ASSIGNING THE CONTRACT This provision is applicable to all Federal-aid construction contracts on the National Highway System.
1. The contractor shall perform with its own organization contract work amounting to not less than 30 percent (or a greater percentage if specified elsewhere in the contract) of the total original contract price, excluding any specialty items designated by the contracting agency. Specialty items may be performed by subcontract and the amount of any such specialty items performed may be deducted from the total original contract price before computing the amount of work required to be performed by the contractor's own organization (23 CFR 635.116).
a. The term “perform work with its own organization” refers to workers employed or leased by the prime contractor, and equipment owned or rented by the prime contractor, with or without operators. Such term does not include employees or equipment of a subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor, agents of the prime contractor, or any other assignees. The term may include payments for the costs of hiring leased employees from an employee leasing firm meeting all relevant Federal and State regulatory requirements. Leased employees may only be included in this term if the prime contractor meets all of the following conditions:
(1) the prime contractor maintains control over the supervision of the day-to-day activities of the leased employees;
(2) the prime contractor remains responsible for the quality of the work of the leased employees;
(3) the prime contractor retains all power to accept or exclude individual employees from work on the project; and
(4) the prime contractor remains ultimately responsible for the payment of predetermined minimum wages, the submission of payrolls, statements of compliance and all other Federal regulatory requirements.
b. Specialty Items" shall be construed to be limited to work that requires highly specialized knowledge, abilities, or equipment not ordinarily available in the type of contracting organizations qualified and expected to bid or propose on the contract as a whole and in general are to be limited to minor components of the overall contract.
2. The contract amount upon which the requirements set forth in paragraph (1) of Section VI is computed includes the cost of material and manufactured products which are to be purchased or produced by the contractor under the contract provisions.
3. The contractor shall furnish (a) a competent superintendent or supervisor who is employed by the firm, has full authority to direct performance of the work in accordance with the contract requirements, and is in charge of all construction operations (regardless of who performs the work) and (b) such other of its own organizational resources (supervision, management, and engineering services) as the contracting officer determines is necessary to assure the performance of the contract.
4. No portion of the contract shall be sublet, assigned or otherwise disposed of except with the written consent of the contracting officer, or authorized representative, and such consent when given shall not be construed to relieve the contractor of any responsibility for the fulfillment of the contract. Written consent will be given only after the contracting agency has assured that each subcontract is evidenced in writing and that it contains all pertinent provisions and requirements of the prime contract.
5. The 30% self-performance requirement of paragraph (1) is not applicable to design-build contracts; however, contracting agencies may establish their own self-performance requirements.
Landlord’s Rights (a) If this Lease is assigned or if all or any portion of the Premises is subleased or occupied by any person without obtaining Landlord’s prior consent when such consent is required, Landlord may collect Rent and other charges from such assignee or other person, and apply the amount collected to Rent and other charges payable under this Lease, but such collection and application shall not constitute consent or waiver of the necessity of consent to such assignment, sublease or occupancy, nor shall such collection and application constitute the recognition of such assignee, subtenant or occupant as Tenant under this Lease or a release of Tenant from the further payment and performance of all obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
(b) No consent by Landlord to any assignment or sublease by Tenant (and no assignment or sublease by Tenant, whether made with or without Landlord’s consent) shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be paid or performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether occurring before or after such consent, assignment or sublease, but rather Tenant and Tenant’s assignee or (to the extent of its obligations under its sublease) subtenant, as the case may be, shall be jointly and severally primarily liable for such payment and performance (including, without limitation, the provisions of this Lease limiting the use of the Premises), which shall be confirmed to Landlord in writing on Landlord’s standard form.
(c) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ and other fees and costs, not to exceed $2,000 per occurrence (assuming that Landlord is not asked to prepare the assignment or sublease agreement, or to negotiate or revise substantially Landlord’s standard form consent documents) incurred in connection with both determining whether to give consent and giving consent when such consent is required.
(d) No assignment under this Lease requiring Landlord’s consent shall be effective unless and until Tenant provides to Landlord an executed counterpart of the assignment agreement concerned in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, in which the assignee has assumed and agreed to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease on and after the effective date of such assignment, and Landlord has executed and delivered a consent thereto on Landlord’s standard form. No subleasing under this Lease requiring Landlord’s consent shall be effective unless and until Tenant provides to Landlord an executed counterpart of the sublease agreement concerned in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and the Sublease Consent Agreement attached as Exhibit C (with such modifications thereto as shall be reasonably requested by Tenant’s subtenant and reasonably agreed to by Landlord), and Landlord has executed and delivered such Sublease Consent Agreement.
(e) Without affecting any of its other obligations under this Lease, if this Lease is assigned or all or any portion of the Premises is subleased (excluding any Non-Consent Transfer), and the rent, additional rent, compensation and other economic consideration received or to be received by Tenant in connection with such assignment or sublease (including, without limitation, any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to the assignee or subtenant or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment or furniture transferred by Tenant to the assignee or subtenant) exceeds Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease for the period concerned (calculated on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is subleased), then Tenant shall pay fifty percent (50%) of such excess to Landlord when received, after deducting reasonable advertising expenses, brokerage commissions, tenant improvement costs and attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Tenant and payable to non-affiliated third parties in connection with such assignment or subleasing, all of which must be amortized over the applicable assignment or sublease term. Prior to Landlord consenting to any such assignment or sublease, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a detailed written schedule of all rent, additional rent, compensation and other economic consideration received or to be received by Tenant in connection with such assignment or sublease, and all reasonable advertising expenses, brokerage commissions, tenant improvement costs and attorneys’ fees actually incurred or to be incurred by Tenant and payable to non-affiliated third parties in connection with such assignment or subleasing, which schedule shall be certified by Tenant to Landlord as true, correct and complete in all respects, with such certification executed by Tenant. As used in this subparagraph (e), the term “Tenant” refers to the assignor in the event of an assignment, and to the sublandlord in the event of a sublease.
No Air Rights No rights to any view or to light or air over any property, whether belonging to Landlord or any other person, are granted to Tenant by this Lease. If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily darkened or the light or view therefrom is obstructed by reason of any repairs, improvements, maintenance or cleaning in or about the Project, the same shall be without liability to Landlord and without any reduction or diminution of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
Landlord’s Right To Mortgage Tenant agrees to accept the premises subject to and subordinate to any existing or future mortgage or other lien, and Landlord reserves the right to subject premises to same. Tenant agrees to and hereby irrevocably grants Landlord power of attorney for Tenant for the sole purpose of executing and delivering in the name of the Tenant any document(s) related to the Landlord’s right to subject the premises to a mortgage or other lien.
Rights of Landlord Guarantor authorizes Landlord, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) extend, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for any payment provided for in the Lease, or any covenant, term or condition of the Lease, delay enforcing Landlord’s remedies or rights against Tenant in connection with the Lease, and consent to any assignment, subletting or reassignment of the Lease, (b) take and hold security for any payment provided for in the Lease or for the performance of any covenant, term or condition of the Lease, or exchange, waive or release any such security; and (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine. Landlord may without notice assign this Guaranty, the Lease, or the rents and other sums payable thereunder. Notwithstanding any termination, renewal, extension, or holding over of the Lease, or any assignment of the Lease by Landlord or Tenant, this Guaranty shall continue until all of Tenant’s Obligations have been fully and completely performed by Tenant. Guarantor shall not be released by any act or event which might, but for this provision of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety, or by reason of any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance or delay or other act or omission of the Landlord or its failure to proceed promptly or otherwise as against Tenant or Guarantor, or by reason or any action taken or omitted or circumstance which may or might vary the risk or affect the rights or remedies of Guarantor as against Tenant, or by reason of any further dealings between Tenant and Landlord, whether relating to the Lease or otherwise, and Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its liability hereunder based upon any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, or agreements. It is the purpose and intent of this Guaranty that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Guarantor shall be released and discharged of its obligations hereunder if and to the same extent as Tenant is released or discharged of its obligations under the Lease with the consent of Landlord or in accordance with the terms of the Lease. The foregoing sentence shall in no way affect any waivers or any bankruptcy provisions set forth herein. Guarantor further agrees that to the extent Tenant or Guarantor makes any payment to Landlord in connection with Tenant’s Obligations and all or any part of such payment is subsequent invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid by Landlord or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise (any such payment is hereinafter referred to as a “Preferential Payment”), then this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, and, to the extent of such payment or repayment by Landlord, Tenant’s Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied by such Preferential Payment shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such Preferential Payment had not been made.
Lessor's Right to Perform for Lessee If Lessee fails to make any payment of Rent required to be made by it hereunder or fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, then (but in each case, except in the case of failure to pay Rent or in the case of failure to maintain insurance as required hereunder, no earlier than the fifteenth day after the occurrence of such failure, whether or not it shall yet constitute an Event of Default hereunder) Lessor may itself make such payment or perform or comply with such agreement but shall not be obligated hereunder to do so, and the amount of such payment and the amount of the reasonable expenses of Lessor incurred in connection with such payment or the performance of or compliance with such agreement, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Past Due Rate, shall be deemed Supplemental Rent, payable by Lessee upon demand.
LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ENTRY Tenant agrees to permit Landlord and the authorized representatives of Landlord and of Lender to enter upon the Demised Premises at all reasonable times for the purposes of inspecting the Demised Premises and Tenant's compliance with this Lease, and making any necessary repairs thereto; provided that, except in the case of an emergency, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable prior notice of Landlord's intended entry upon the Demised Premises. Nothing herein shall imply any duty upon the part of Landlord to do any work required of Tenant hereunder, and the performance thereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default in failing to perform it. Landlord shall not be liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance or other damage to Tenant by reason of making such repairs or the performance of such work in the Demised Premises or on account of bringing materials, supplies and equipment into or through the Demised Premises during the course thereof, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not thereby be affected; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to disturb or otherwise interfere with Tenant's operations in the Demised Premises in making such repairs or performing such work. Landlord also shall have the right upon reasonable notice to enter the Demised Premises at all reasonable times to exhibit the Demised Premises to any prospective purchaser or mortgagee thereof, or, during the last six (6) months of the Term, to any prospective tenant thereof.
Landlord’s Right to Enter Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises during normal business hours after giving Tenant reasonable notice and subject to Tenant’s reasonable security measures for the purpose of (i) inspecting the same; (ii) showing the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants; (iii) making necessary alterations, additions or repairs; and (iv) performing any of Tenant’s obligations when Tenant has failed to do so. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises during normal business hours (or as otherwise agreed), subject to Tenant’s reasonable security measures, for purposes of supplying any maintenance or services agreed to be supplied by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to enter the Outside Areas during normal business hours for purposes of (i) inspecting the exterior of the Building and the Outside Areas; (ii) posting notices of nonresponsibility (and for such purposes Tenant shall provide Landlord at least thirty days’ prior written notice of any work to be performed on the Leased Premises); and (iii) supplying any services to be provided by Landlord. Any entry into the Leased Premises or the Outside Areas obtained by Landlord in accordance with this paragraph shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Leased Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive of Tenant from the Leased Premises or any portion thereof.
Landlord’s Right to Perform Tenant’s Covenants Tenant covenants and agrees that, if it shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, then Landlord, in its sole discretion may after due notice to, or demand upon, Tenant and subject to the limitations set forth below, make any payment or perform any other act on the part of Tenant to be made and performed as in this Lease provided, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable, and in exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses, employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. The making of any such payment or the performing of any other act by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall not waive, or release Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonably necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord shall, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, be payable to Landlord on demand, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums promptly, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the Base Rent. Whenever practicable, Landlord, before proceeding as provided in this Section 12.4, shall give Tenant notice in writing of the failure of Tenant which Landlord proposes to remedy, and shall allow Tenant such length of time as may be reasonable in the circumstances, consistent with any grace periods contained herein, but not exceeding 30 days from the giving of notice, to remedy the failure itself and, if Tenant shall not remedy the failure in the time so allowed, Landlord shall be deemed to have given “due notice” and may proceed as provided in this Section 12.4; provided that nothing in this Section shall prevent Landlord from acting without notice to Tenant in case of any emergency wherein there is danger to property or person or where there may exist any violation of legal requirements including but not limited to the presence of Hazardous Materials, in which event no notice shall be required.
