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 Landlord, Agent and their respective agents, employees and representatives shall have the right to enter and/or pass through the Premises at any time or times upon reasonable prior notice (except in the event of emergency): (a) to examine and inspect the Premises and to show them to actual and prospective lenders, prospective purchasers or mortgagees of the Property or providers of capital to Landlord and its affiliates; and (b) to make such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements in or to all or any portion of either or both of the Premises and the Property, or the Property’s facilities and equipment as Landlord is required or desires to make. Landlord and Agent shall be allowed to take all materials into and upon the Premises that may be required in connection with any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, without any liability to Tenant and without any reduction or modification of Tenant’s covenants and obligations hereunder; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to limit interference with Tenant’s business operations and Tenant’s occupancy and use of the Premises. During the period of six months prior to the Expiration Date (or at any time, if Tenant has vacated or abandoned the Premises or is otherwise in default under this Lease), Landlord and its agents may exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants. Additionally, Landlord and Agent shall have the following rights with respect to the Premises, exercisable without notice to Tenant, without liability to Tenant, and without being deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises or giving rise to any claim for setoff or abatement of Rent: (i) to designate and approve, prior to installation, all types of signs; (ii) to have pass keys, access cards, or both, to the Premises; and (iii) to decorate, remodel, repair, alter or otherwise prepare the Premises for reoccupancy at any time after Tenant vacates or abandons the Premises for more than 30 consecutive days or without notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intention to reoccupy the Premises.
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.
Subleases of Tenant Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, as set forth in this Article 19, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. In the event of Landlord’s election to succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.
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 (a) Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments of this Lease, or to one or more sublettings of the Premises or any portion thereof, or collection of rent by Landlord from any assignee or sublessee, shall not operate to exhaust Landlord’s rights under this Article 11, nor constitute consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. No assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and no sublease shall relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder, notwithstanding any waiver or extension of time granted by Landlord to any assignee or sublessee, or the failure of Landlord to assert its rights against any assignee or sublessee, and regardless of whether Landlord’s consent thereto is given or required to be given hereunder. In the event of a default by any assignee, sublessee or other successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms or obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against any such assignee, sublessee or other successor. In addition, Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent from any subletting of all or a part of the Premises as permitted under this Lease, and Landlord, as Tenant’s assignee, or any receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent and to retain all sublease profits (subject to the provisions of Section 11.2(c), below),
(b) Upon any assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease for which Landlord’s consent is required under Section 11.1 hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof by Tenant from time to time, one-half ( 1/2) of all cash sums and other economic considerations received by Tenant in connection with or as a result of such assignment, after first deducting therefrom (i) any costs incurred by Tenant for leasehold improvements (including, but not limited to, third-party architectural and space planning costs) in the Premises in connection with such assignment, amortized over the remaining term of this Lease, (ii) any real estate commissions and/or reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment, and (iii) the unamortized cost (assuming straight-line amortization over the entire period from the Rent Commencement Date through the remainder of the initial term of this Lease) of any alterations, additions and improvements made to the Premises at Tenant’s expense and remaining in the Premises at the time of such assignment.
(c) Upon any sublease of all or any portion of the Premises for which Landlord’s consent is required under Section 11.1 hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof by Tenant from time to time, one-half ( 1/2) of all cash sums and other economic considerations received by Tenant in connection with or as a result of such sublease, after first deducting therefrom (i) the minimum rental due hereunder for the corresponding period, prorated (on the basis of the average per-square-foot cost paid by Tenant for the Premises for the applicable period under this Lease) to reflect the size of the subleased portion of the Premises, (ii) any costs incurred by Tenant for leasehold improvements in the subleased portion of the Premises (including, but not limited to, third-party architectural and space planning costs) for the specific benefit of the sublessee in connection with such sublease, amortized over the remaining term of this Lease, (iii) any real estate commissions and/or reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred by Tenant in connection with such sublease, amortized over the term of such sublease, and (iv) amortized over the term of such sublease, the portion allocable to the sublease term of the unamortized cost (assuming straight-line amortization over the entire period from the Rent Commencement Date through the remainder of the initial term of this Lease) of any alterations, additions and improvements made to the Premises at Tenant’s expense and reasonably allocable to the subleased portion of the Premises at the time of the sublease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph (c), in no event shall the economic considerations required to be shared by Tenant with Landlord hereunder include the reasonable, good faith value of any goods or services provided by Tenant to any sublessee in connection with any subletting, including, but not limited to, any shipping, receiving, security, reception, facilities management, laboratory, repair, maintenance, utilities and other similar goods and services provided to the sublessee in excess of the goods and services provided by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease.
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 7.1. Landlord and Landlord's agents and representatives shall have the right, when accompanied by a representative of Tenant, to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours and upon reasonable notice, as more particularly hereinafter described, for the following purposes: (i) performing maintenance, repairs, or alterations to the Premises but only in the event of default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease; (ii) showing the Premises to prospective new tenants during the last twelve (12) months of the Term; (iii) showing the Premises during the Term to any mortgagees or prospective purchasers of the Premises; or (iv) curing any default by Tenant in performing its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and grace period. All non-emergent work within the Premises shall be performed in accordance with a schedule and plan approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, but in no event shall Landlord be prohibited or unreasonably restricted from performing such work on a timely and commercially reasonable basis.
7.2. Landlord may enter upon the Premises at any time in case of emergency upon prior verbal notice if possible and with the accompaniment by a representative of Tenant to the extent Tenant makes such representative immediately available. Landlord shall advise Tenant of the date, time and nature of all such entries promptly following cessation of the emergency.
7.3. In connection with any entry by Landlord pursuant to this Article 7, Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption of Tenant's use of the Premises and all work performed by or on behalf of Landlord in or on the Premises pursuant to this Article 7 shall be performed with as little inconvenience to Tenant's business as is reasonably possible. Tenant shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to designate a representative to accompany Landlord, or any third parties, while they are on the Premises.
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 (which shall be prior written notice except in the event of a circumstance which Landlord in good faith believes to be an emergency) 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, during the last nine (9) months of the Lease Term or during any period that Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default beyond the applicable cure period, if any, expressly set forth in this Lease, tenants; (iii) making necessary alterations, additions or repairs; and (iv) performing any of Tenant’s obligations when Tenant has failed to do so after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period expressly set forth in this Lease. 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 Common Areas during normal business hours for purposes of (i) inspecting the exterior of the Building and the Common Areas; (ii) posting notices of nonresponsibility (and for such purposes Tenant shall provide Landlord at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of any work to be performed on the Leased Premises, as well as notice within one (1) day after the commencement of such work); and (iii) supplying any services to be provided by Landlord. Landlord shall also have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to access the Building’s vertical risers and the interstitial space above Tenant’s acoustical ceiling to connect new utility and communications lines from other floors to the base Building utility lines; all of such work shall be done after hours or on weekends. Any entry into the Leased Premises or the Common 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 shall conduct all of Landlord’s activities on the Leased Premises during such period of entry in a manner designed to cause minimal interference to Tenant and Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.
