PARTIAL OCCUPANCY OR USE 9.9.1 The Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the Work at any stage when such portion is designated by separate agreement with the Contractor, provided such occupancy or use is consented to by the insurer as required under Paragraph 11.3.1.5, the surety, and authorized by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Project. Such partial occupancy or use may commence whether or not the portion is substantially complete, provided the Owner and Contractor have accepted in writing the responsibilities assigned to each of them for payments, retainage, if any, security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work and insurance, and have agreed in writing concerning the period for correction of the Work and commencement of warranties required by the Contract Documents. When the Contractor considers a portion substantially complete, the Contractor shall prepare and submit a list to the Architect as provided under Paragraph 9.8.2. Consent of the Contractor to partial occupancy or use shall not be unreasonably withheld.
9.9.2 Immediately prior to partial occupancy or use, the Owner, Contractor and Architect shall jointly inspect the area to be occupied or portion of the Work to be used in order to determine and record the condition of the Work.
9.9.3 Partial occupancy or use of a portion or portions of the Work shall not constitute acceptance of Work not complying with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
Expansion Premises (a) In consideration of the rents, terms, provisions and covenants of this Amendment and the Lease, Landlord hereby leases unto Tenant and Tenant hereby rents and accepts from Landlord the Expansion Premises. The Expansion Premises is more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Expansion Premises is contiguous to the Replacement Premises.
(b) Tenant covenants, as a material part of the consideration for the Lease, as amended hereby, to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions for which Tenant is liable and that this Amendment is made upon the condition of such performance. On and after the Second Renewal Term Commencement Date, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease, as amended hereby, shall apply to both the Replacement Premises and the Expansion Premises. From and after the Second Renewal Term Commencement Date, each and every reference in the Lease and in this Amendment to “Premises” shall be and mean the Replacement Premises and the Expansion Premises, collectively. The Replacement Premises and Expansion Premises consist of a total of approximately 12,103 rentable square feet. The Expansion Premises shall be known as Suite 246.
(c) At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B acknowledging, among other things, the (i) Second Renewal Term Commencement Date, (ii) scheduled termination date of the Lease and (iii) Tenant’s acceptance of the Expansion Premises. Tenant’s failure to execute the Commencement Date Memorandum shall not affect Tenant’s liability hereunder.
Lease Commencement Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Lessor, for any reason whatsoever, including Lessor's negligence except as provided for in Article 27(b), cannot deliver possession of the Premises, as provided for in Article 27(a), to Lessee at the commencement of the agreed Term as set forth in Article 2, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but in that event, the Term shall be for the full term as specified above to commence from and after the date Lessor shall have delivered possession of the Premises to Lessee or from the date Lessor would have delivered possession of the Premises to Lessee but for Lessee's failure to timely supply to Lessor such drawings and/or information required by Exhibit C or for any other reason attributable to Lessee (herein the "Commencement Date") and to expire midnight of the day immediately preceding Term anniversary of the Commencement Date, and if requested by Lessor, Lessor and Lessee shall, ratify and confirm said Commencement and Expiration Dates by completing and signing Exhibit G attached hereto and made a part hereof.
Early Occupancy If Tenant occupies the Property prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant's occupancy of the Property shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease. Early occupancy of the Property shall not advance the expiration date of this Lease. Tenant shall pay Base Rent and all other charges specified in this Lease for the early occupancy period.
Ready for Occupancy For purposes of Section 1.3.2 of this Agreement, the Premises shall be deemed “Ready for Occupancy” upon the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvement Work. Subject to Section 4.2 below, the Tenant Improvement Work shall be deemed to be “substantially complete” upon the completion of the Tenant Improvement Work pursuant to the Approved Construction Drawings (as reasonably determined by Landlord), with the exception of any details of construction, mechanical adjustment or any other similar matter the non-completion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.
Expansion Space As used in this paragraph, the term “Expansion Space” means any space in the Building which, at any time during the Lease Term, is occupied by a Person other than Landlord under a written lease with Landlord, and the term “Tenant’s Expansion Space” means Expansion Space which Tenant has elected to lease as provided in this paragraph. Landlord agrees to notify Tenant promptly after Landlord learns that any Expansion Space is or will become available. Subject to the prior rights of other tenants to whom Landlord has granted substantially similar rights, Tenant has the option to lease any Expansion Space which Landlord notifies Tenant is or will become available. If Tenant gives Landlord notice of its exercise of this option within thirty (30) days after notification from Landlord of the availability of the Expansion Space and if no Event of Default exists when Tenant’s notice is given, this Lease will be deemed to be amended to include Tenant’s Expansion Space as part of the Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term upon all of the same terms contained in this Lease except that (i) the Rentable Area of the Premises will be amended to include Tenant’s Expansion Space; (ii) Tenant’s Share will be increased to include the rentable area of Tenant’s Expansion Space; (iii) the Term Commencement Date with respect to Tenant’s Expansion Space will be the earlier of sixty (60) days after the date on which Tenant’s Expansion Space becomes vacant and ready for occupancy (provided that date is at least sixty (60) days after Tenant exercises its option to lease the Expansion Space), or the date on which the Expansion Space is first occupied by Tenant; (iv) if Tenant’s Expansion Space contains a rentable area of 10,000 square feet or more, and if there are less than three (3) Lease Years remaining in the Lease Term, the Lease Term will be extended to include three (3) full years from the Term Commencement Date with respect to Tenant’s Expansion Space; and (v) subject to adjustment during each Fixed Rental Period as provided in Exhibit E, Basic Rent for each year of the remaining Lease Term (as it may be extended) will be the greater of (a) the Basic Rent last paid by the Person most recently occupying Tenant’s Expansion Space or (b) Market Rent determined as provided in the Rent Rider attached as Exhibit E. If Tenant exercises this option, Tenant’s Expansion Space will be leased to Tenant in its “as is” condition and Tenant will, at its expense and in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.06, design and construct all Improvements desired by Tenant for its use and occupancy. Landlord and Tenant agree to execute such amendments to this Lease and other instruments as either of them considers necessary or desirable to reflect Tenant’s exercise of this option.
Rent Commencement Date The "Rent Commencement Date" shall be the date that Tenant first uses the Premises or any portion thereof for any purpose permitted under this lease. In the event this lease pertains to a building or building interior finish to be constructed, the "Rent Commencement Date" shall be the date upon which the buildings and other improvements erected and to be erected upon the premises shall have been substantially completed in accordance with the plans and specifications described on Exhibit "C" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, provided however, that if Landlord shall be delayed in such substantial completion as a result of: (i) Tenant's failure to agree to plans, specifications, and cost estimates, within a reasonable period of time; (ii) Tenant's request for materials, finishes or installations other than Landlord's standard; (iii) Tenant's changes in plans; the commencement date and the payment of rent hereunder shall be accelerated by the number of days of such delay, and provided further that if Landlord cannot substantially complete the premises as a result of any events (i) through (iii) above, Landlord may as its election complete so much of Landlord's work as may be practical under the circumstances and, by written notice to Tenant, establish the commencement date as the date of such partial completion, subject to any applicable accelerations due to delays resulting from events (i) through (iii) above. Taking possession by Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to establish that said buildings and other improvements have been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and that the premises are in good and satisfactory condition, as of when possession was so taken. Tenant acknowledges that no representations as to the repair of the premises have been made by Landlord, unless such are expressly set forth in the lease. After such "Rent Commencement Date" Tenant shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of delivery of the premises. In the event of any dispute as to substantial completion of work performed, execute or required to be performed by Landlord, the certificate of Landlord's architect or general contractor shall be conclusive.
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.
Lease Commencement Date The earlier to occur of (i) the date upon which Tenant first commences to conduct business in the Premises, and (ii) the later to occur of (A) November 1, 2018 and (B) the date upon which the Premises are Ready for Occupancy (as that term is defined in Section 5.1 of the Tenant Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Tenant Work Letter”)).
Licence to Occupy Premises A5.1 Any land or Premises made available to the Contractor by the Authority in connection with the Contract, shall be made available to the Contractor on a non-exclusive licence basis free of charge and shall be used by the Contractor solely for the purpose of performing its obligations under the Contract. The Contractor shall have the use of such land or Premises as licensee and shall vacate the same on completion, termination or abandonment of the Contract.
