Tenant shall be entitled to use up to $424,700.00 (i.e., $10.00 per rentable square foot of the Relocation Premises) of Landlord’s Contribution towards the cost of architectural and engineering drawings, furniture, fixtures and equipment, permitting costs, cabling, wiring and moving costs, signage, third-party legal fees and consulting costs incurred by Tenant in the performance of Tenant’s Work. Provided no Default of Tenant exists at the time that Tenant submits any Requisition (as hereinafter defined) on account of Landlord’s Contribution, Landlord shall pay the cost of the work shown on each Requisition submitted by Tenant to Landlord within twenty-five (25) days of Landlord’s receipt thereof. For the purposes hereof, a “Requisition” shall mean written documentation showing in reasonable detail the costs of the Tenant’s Work then installed by Tenant in the Premises. Each Requisition shall be accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that all work covered by previous Requisitions has been fully paid. Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to inspect Tenant’s books and records relating to each Requisition in order to verify the amount thereof. Tenant shall submit Requisition(s) no more often than monthly. Landlord’s Contribution, less a 10% retainage (which retainage shall be payable as part of the final draw), shall be paid to the general contractor that performs Tenant’s Work, in periodic disbursements within twenty-five (25) days after receipt of the following documentation: (i) an application for payment and sworn statement of contractor substantially in the form of AIA Document G-702 covering all work for which disbursement is to be made to a date specified therein; (ii) a certification from an AIA architect substantially in the form of the Architect’s Certificate for Payment found in AIA Document G702, Application and Certificate of Payment; (iii) Contractor’s, subcontractor’s and material supplier’s waivers of liens which shall cover all Tenant’s Work for which disbursement is being requested and all other statements and forms required for compliance with the mechanics’ lien laws of the state in which the Relocation Premises is located, together with all such invoices, contracts, or other supporting data as Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee may reasonably require; (iv) a cost breakdown for each trade or subcontractor performing Tenant’s Work; (v) plans and specifications for Tenant’s Work, together with a certificate from an AIA architect that such plans and specifications comply in all material respects with all laws affecting the Building, Property and Relocation Premises; (vi) copies of all construction contracts for Tenant’s Work, together with copies of all change orders, if any; and (vii) a request to disburse from Tenant containing an approval by Tenant of the work done and a good faith estimate of the cost to complete Tenant’s Work. Upon completion of Tenant’s Work, and prior to final disbursement of Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with: (I) general contractor and architect’s completion affidavits, (2) full and final waivers of lien, (3) receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used, (4) as-built plans of the Tenant’s Work, and (5) the certification of Tenant’s architect that Tenant’s Work has been installed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the Tenant’s Plans, and in accordance with applicable laws, codes and ordinances. In no event shall Landlord be required to disburse Landlord’s Contribution more than one (1) time per month. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of Landlord’s Contribution during the continuance of an uncured Default by Tenant under the Lease, and Landlord’s obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such Default is cured. If Tenant does not submit a request for payment of the entire Landlord’s Contribution to Landlord in accordance with the provisions contained in this Section II (D) on or before the date that is twelve (12) months after the Relocation Date, any unused amount shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being understood that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, abatement or other concession in connection therewith. Tenant shall be responsible for all applicable state sales or use taxes, if any, payable in connection with Tenant’s Work and Landlord’s Contribution.

Construction Allowance (a) Landlord shall provide to Tenant a construction allowance not to exceed $135.00 per rentable square foot in the Relocation Premises (the “Construction Allowance”) to be applied toward the Total Construction Costs, as adjusted for any changes to the Tenant Work. If the Total Construction Costs are estimated to exceed the Construction Allowance by more than $5.00 per rentable square foot of the Relocation Premises, then no advance of the Construction Allowance shall be made by Landlord until Tenant has first paid to the contractor from its own funds (and provided reasonable evidence thereof to Landlord) the anticipated amount by which the projected Total Construction Costs exceed the amount of the Construction Allowance. Thereafter, Landlord shall pay to Tenant (or at Tenant’s request directly to Tenant’s general contractor) the Construction Allowance in multiple disbursements (but not more than once in any calendar month) following the receipt by Landlord of the following items: (i) a request for payment and sworn statements of Tenant and contractor, (ii) final or partial lien waivers, as the case may be, from all persons performing work or supplying or fabricating materials for the Tenant Work, fully executed, acknowledged and in recordable form, which waivers may be conditioned upon receipt of payment, (iii) the Architect’s certification that the Tenant Work for which reimbursement has been requested has been finally completed, including (with respect to the last application for payment only) any punch-list items, on the appropriate AIA form or another form approved by Landlord, and, (iv) with respect to the disbursement of the last 10% of the Construction Allowance, (1) the permanent certificate of occupancy issued for the Relocation Premises, if required by applicable law, (2) the record drawing in CAD format, PDF format and hard copy required by Section 5 above, and (3) an estoppel certificate confirming such factual matters as Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee may reasonably request (collectively, a “Completed Application for Payment”). Landlord shall pay the amount requested in the applicable Completed Application for Payment to Tenant within 30 days following Tenant’s submission of the Completed Application for Payment. If, however, the Completed Application for Payment is incomplete or incorrect, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of the same and Landlord’s payment of such request shall be deferred until 30 days following Landlord’s receipt of the corrected Completed Application for Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Exhibit, Landlord shall not be obligated to make any disbursement of the Construction Allowance during the pendency of any of the following: (1) Landlord has received written notice of any unpaid claims relating to any portion of the Tenant Work or materials in connection therewith covered by previously funded applications for payment, (2) there is an unbonded lien outstanding against the Building or the Relocation Premises or Tenant’s interest therein by reason of work done, or claimed to have been done, or materials supplied or specifically fabricated, claimed to have been supplied or specifically fabricated, to or for Tenant or the Relocation Premises, (3) the conditions to the advance of the Construction Allowance are not satisfied, or (4) Tenant is in Default under the Lease.
(b) The Construction Allowance must be used on Tenant Work performed within the Relocation Premises and the Total Construction Costs and may not be used to pay for furniture, fixtures or equipment or as rent abatement, HOWEVER, notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Tenant is not in Default, Tenant may use a portion of the Construction Allowance, not to exceed an amount equal to $35.00 per rentable square foot of the Relocation Premises, to pay for furniture, fixtures or equipment, moving costs, cabling costs, and other soft costs associated with the Relocation Premises. Should Tenant elect to use a portion of the Construction Allowance to pay for such soft costs, at Landlord’s request Tenant shall execute and deliver a letter to Landlord confirming the exact amount of the Construction Allowance used to pay for such soft costs. Should Tenant elect to use a portion of the Construction Allowance to pay for such costs, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written request that includes copies of paid invoices or receipts for reimbursement of such costs, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such amounts within 30 days of receipt of Tenant’s request. Tenant shall provide lien waivers as appropriate. No portion of the Construction Allowance may be used as a credit against Rent due under the Lease.
(c) The Construction Allowance must be used (i.e. work performed and invoices submitted to Landlord) by June 30, 2020, or the Construction Allowance shall be deemed forfeited with no further obligation by Landlord with respect thereto.
(d) If Landlord defaults in Landlord’s obligation to pay the Construction Allowance pursuant to Section 9 of this Exhibit B-1, or any portion thereof, within five (5) days after the date the same is due, then Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord a second written notice (“Offset Exercise Notice”) requesting payment of such unpaid amounts and notifying Landlord that Tenant intends to offset against rent if not paid. In the event that Landlord fails to contest in good faith or fully pay such amounts within ten (10) business days after such Offset Exercise Notice is received by Landlord, then provided no Default exists Tenant may withhold and offset such unpaid sums from and against 25% of Base Rent next due until paid.
Tenant Improvement Allowance Commencing as of January 1, 2011, Tenant shall be entitled to use the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”, as defined in Section 2 of this Amendment, for the costs relating to the design and construction of Tenant’s improvements or which are otherwise “Tenant Improvement Allowance items,” as that term is defined in Section 2.2.1, below (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”). In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter or otherwise in connection with Tenant’s construction of the Tenant Improvements or any Tenant Improvement Allowance Items, as defined below, in a total amount which exceeds the sum of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. All Tenant Improvements for which the Tenant Improvement Allowance has been made available shall be deemed Landlord’s property under the terms of the Lease; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given concurrently with Landlord’s approval of the “Final Working Drawings”, as that term is defined in Section 3.3, below, require Tenant, prior to the end of the Lease Term or promptly following any earlier termination of this Lease, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Tenant Improvements and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to a Building standard general office condition; provided, however, that Landlord shall not require Tenant to remove upon termination or expiration of this Lease, or condition its approval upon Tenant’s agreement to remove upon termination or expiration of this Lease, any Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter (including, without limitation, Larc improvements) which constitute standard, non-extraordinary improvements for ordinary office, laboratory and/or Larc uses in biotech facilities. Any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance that is not disbursed or allocated for disbursement by December 31, 2013, shall revert to Landlord and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect thereto.
Improvement Allowance Landlord shall be responsible for bearing --------------------- all costs and expenses of completing the Landlord's Work up to a maximum of [***] (the "Allowance"). All costs and expenses in excess of such Allowance ----- shall be at Tenant's sole expense and shall be paid in accordance with this Section 5. If Landlord at any time determines that the cost of the Landlord's Work is likely to exceed the amount of the Allowance (such excess, the "Excess Amount"), Tenant shall elect either, or a combination, of the following two options with respect to the entire Excess Amount:
(a) the payment by Tenant to Landlord of the Excess Amount concurrently with the performance of Landlord's Work in accordance with the terms of this Section 5, or (b) the election by Tenant to increase the Basic Monthly Rent under this Lease by an amount sufficient to fully amortize the Excess Amount over the Initial Term plus interest at 10 percent per annum. To the extent to which Tenant elects to pay the Excess Amount concurrently with the performance of Landlord's Work (pursuant to clause (a) above), Tenant shall advance fifty percent (50%) of such amount to Landlord prior to (and as a condition to) Landlord's commencing or completing the Landlord's Work and any failure by Tenant to pay such funds to Landlord within five (5) business days shall constitute a default under this Lease. Tenant shall pay the balance of such amount within ten (10) calendar days following its receipt of invoices therefor and Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute a default under this Lease. To the extent to which Tenant elects to amortize the Excess Amount through an increase to Basic Monthly Rent (pursuant to clause (b) above), Landlord and Tenant shall, prior to (and as a condition to) Landlord's commencing or completing the Landlord's Work, enter into an Amendment to this Lease setting forth such increased Basic Monthly Rent. Tenant's failure to execute and return such Amendment within 5 days after receipt shall constitute a default under this Lease. The Allowance shall include without limitation any and all costs of construction, city permits, space planning, engineering, blueprints, reimbursables, and Landlord's actual cost of administration and supervision of Landlord's Work and overhead attributable to Landlord's work up to a maximum amount of $0.25 per Rentable Square Foot. Landlord's Work shall use, whenever possible, the construction materials which currently exist at the Building and the fair market value of such materials shall be deducted from the Allowance. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the cost of window coverings for the Premises (estimated to total less than $20,000) shall be allocated 25 percent to each of Landlord, Tenant (and therefore paid through the Allowance), Landlord's broker (Xxxx Xxxxxxx), and Tenant's broker (Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Group).
Tenant’s Costs Whenever equipment or lighting (other than building standard lights or ordinary office equipment, including computers, copiers, lunch room refrigerators and microwaves) is used in the Premises by Tenant and such equipment or lighting affects the temperature otherwise normally maintained by the design of the Building’s air conditioning system, Landlord shall have the right to charge for supplementary air conditioning facilities in the Premises or otherwise modify the ventilating and air conditioning system serving the Premises; and the actual cost of such facilities, modifications and additional service (including an administrative fee) shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice. Should Tenant desire any additional service beyond that described in Article 13.2, above, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option upon reasonable advance notice from Tenant to Landlord, (i) refuse to consent to such services or (ii) consent to such services upon such conditions as Landlord elects (including the requirements that submeters be installed at Tenant’s expense, that Tenant pay directly to the provider of such service (in the case of submetered services) or to Landlord, as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice, Landlord’s additional expenses resulting therefrom, and that Tenant pay the cost of all alterations or additions made to accommodate such excess use, including the cost of a submeter and installation of the same). Landlord shall provide 40 tons of chilled water capacity to the Premises for Tenant’s server room and allow the installation of floor mounted air conditioning units and associated ductwork. The cost of installing connections and piping to new equipment shall be paid for out of the Cash Allowance. Tenant shall install metering to monitor use of the Building’s chilled water capacity and electricity. Installation may involve the addition of louvers to the North side of the building, and these louvers shall fit within the footprint of existing architectural louvers between structural grid lines 3 and 4, and shall be covered by the existing louver architectural skin as a visible surface.
Construction of Tenant Improvements Tenant shall install the Tenant Improvements (as described in Paragraph 2(a) below) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Work Letter. The quantities, character and manner of installation of all of the work related to the Tenant Improvements shall be subject to the limitations imposed by any applicable governmental regulations, laws, ordinances, codes and rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may at Landlord’s sole election itself (with Landlord’s contractor) construct the portion of the Tenant Improvements that consist of the restrooms and related improvements that will service Building 2 (the “Restroom Improvements”), at Tenant’s cost up to a maximum amount of $322,764 (subject to Section 9(b) below), provided that (a) Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of such election prior to Tenant’s commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, and (b) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not unreasonably interfere with or delay Tenant’s installation of the Tenant Improvements. If a certificate of occupancy or equivalent permit sign-off for the Premises is delayed beyond the Building 2 Scheduled Commencement Date solely as a result of Landlord’s failure to substantially complete the Restroom Improvements prior to such date, which failure does not result from Tenant Delays (as defined below) or Force Majeure, then the Building 2 Commencement Date shall be extended day for day by the number of days after the Building 2 Scheduled Commencement Date until the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or equivalent permit sign-off (but in no event shall the Building 2 Commencement Date be delayed beyond the date Tenant commences business in the Premises), provided, however, that Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord at such time as Tenant becomes aware that Landlord is in danger of causing such delay. “Tenant Delays” shall mean (i) Tenant’s delay in submittal of Tenant’s Plans and/or responses to Landlord’s comments to Tenant’s Plans beyond the time periods provided in this Work Letter, (ii) Tenant’s delay in any submittals for permits or other governmental approvals with respect to the Tenant Improvements (including without limitation the Restroom Improvements), (iii) changes in Tenant’s Plans as they relate to the Restroom Improvements after they have been submitted to governmental authorities for permits, (iv) delay in obtaining materials for reasons outside Landlord’s reasonable control, and (v) Tenant’s failure to provide reasonable access to the Premises to Landlord’s contractors to install the Restroom Improvements, or unreasonable interference with such installation by Tenant or its contractors or agents.
Construction of the Tenant Improvements 3.1 The Leased Premises consists of two existing, contiguous spaces which were previously leased to other tenants. Tenant is taking the Leased Premises in its “as is” condition, subject to modifications as shown on the Plans (as hereafter defined) to be prepared by Tenant (“Tenant Improvements”). The Landlord shall provide all necessary labor and materials and perform all the work required to complete the Tenant Improvements in order to ready the same for Tenant’s occupancy. Tenant’s designated representative for all work pertaining to the Tenant Improvements shall be Xxxx Xxxxxxxx or such other person as is designated in writing by Tenant (“Representative”). The Landlord shall supervise and direct the work on the Tenant Improvements using Landlord’s best skill and attention, and Landlord shall be solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the work on the Tenant Improvements. Landlord warrants to the Tenant that all materials and equipment incorporated in the Tenant Improvements will be new unless otherwise specified, and that all work on the Tenant Improvements will be of good quality, free from known faults and defects, and in substantial conformity with the Plans.
(a) Landlord shall complete the Tenant Improvements in a good and workmanlike manner and in substantial accordance with plans and specifications (“Plans”) to be prepared by Tenant’s architect, CUH2A. The Plans shall be provided to Landlord on or before September 1, 2003 and shall be in sufficient detail to permit Landlord to apply for a building permit for the Tenant Improvements (which Landlord shall promptly do), and to prepare a construction budget for the construction of the Tenant Improvements (“Construction Budget”). In the event Tenant does not deliver the Plans to Landlord by the date set forth above, such failure shall not delay the date for commencement of the rent, which shall be presumed to be the projected Commencement Date set forth in paragraph 2. The Construction Budget shall set forth the lump sum amount payable by Tenant to Landlord for the construction of the Tenant Improvements, which amount shall include Landlord’s standard xxxx-up for general conditions, overhead and profit, which total in the aggregate 20%. The only exception to the lump sum amount shall be the actual fees charged by the Township of South Brunswick for construction permits in connection with the Tenant Improvements, which sums shall be paid by Tenant as set forth hereafter. Landlord shall submit the Construction Budget to Tenant for its approval. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord within five business days of receipt, as to whether or not the Construction Budget is acceptable. If Tenant does not accept the Construction Budget during such five business day period, then the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement on the Construction Budget. Landlord shall not be obligated to order any equipment or commence work until Tenant has approved the Construction Budget. A complete set of the agreed upon Plans, and the agreed upon Construction Budget, shall be initialed by and distributed to Landlord and Tenant.
(b) Neither the Construction Budget nor the Plans shall be changed or altered in any way except by change order approved in writing by Landlord and Tenant (“Change Order”). All Change Orders shall be valid and binding upon Landlord and Tenant only if authorized by written Change Order signed by Landlord and Tenant’s Representative prior to commencement of the work on the Tenant Improvements reflected thereby. The cost or credit to the Tenant due to any Change Order shall be determined per the terms of such Change Order. In the event the Change Order increases the cost set forth in the Construction Budget, then Landlord shall submit an invoice to Tenant and Tenant shall pay the invoice upon completion of work or upon the ordering of any equipment, whichever is applicable. The Landlord shall have the right to substitute for the materials and equipment required by the Plans, materials and equipment of equal quality and standard, provided said substitutions conform with applicable building codes and are the subject of a Change Order. Each and every Change Order shall state whether the change will entail a delay in the date of Substantial Completion. Any Change Order requested by Tenant which results in a delay to the date of Substantial Completion shall not delay the date for the commencement of the payment of rent.
(a) The Landlord may secure and advance payment for the construction permits and for all other permits and governmental fees, licenses and inspections necessary for the proper execution and completion of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall pay such amounts to Landlord not later than 10 business days after receipt of an invoice therefore Landlord shall not, however, be responsible for securing any environmental or operating permits or certifications which are required in order for Tenant to actually conduct its business.
(b) Tenant shall be responsible for providing Landlord with, and bearing the cost of sufficient copies of the Plans, and sufficient copies of any revisions made to the Plans, in order to obtain the permits and efficiently manage the construction of the Tenant Improvements. In the event any Change Orders are required during construction, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs related to the preparation and reproduction of plans therefore, unless the Change Order was solely initiated by Landlord, in which case Landlord shall be responsible for such costs. After construction is complete, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs related to the reproduction of “as built” Plans. In all instances where Plans are required, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a reproducible set. Landlord will also be provided with a current plot file containing the Plans at no cost to Landlord. Tenant agrees to have its Architect execute Exhibit “A” affirming Landlord’s right to the Plans.
(a) Tenant shall pay Landlord directly for the construction costs of Tenant Improvements in accordance with the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit “B”. The only exception to Tenant’s responsibility to pay for all construction costs shall be for the work necessary to upgrade the existing HVAC reheat system currently in the space previously occupied by Biomira, Inc. (currently known as 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx), which cost is estimated to be $150,000 and will he divided equally between the parties. In the event Tenant fails to pay to Landlord any sum set forth on Exhibit “B” when it is due, Landlord shall not be obligated to commence or continue work on the Tenant Improvements. Such failure to pay shall constitute a default under this Lease, but shall not delay the Commencement Date of this Lease, which shall be presumed to be the projected Commencement Date set forth in paragraph 2; or any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay all Rent. In the event that Tenant fails to pay to Landlord, upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, a sum equal to the remaining balance then due, such failure shall constitute a default under this Lease; and Tenant shall not be permitted to occupy the Leased Premises; and Tenant shall commence payment of all Rent; and Landlord shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available hereunder, at law or in equity, which rights shall be cumulative. All sums so owing to Landlord shall constitute Additional Rent and shall be subject to the imposition of late charges as provided in this Lease.
(b) Apart from extensions of time for delays and extensions of the date for the payment of rent, no payment or allowance of any kind shall be claimed by Tenant, or made to the Landlord as compensation for damages on account of any delay from any cause in the completion of the Tenant Improvements, whether such delay be avoidable or unavoidable, anything in this Agreement inconsistent herewith or to the contrary notwithstanding.
3.5 Tenant shall be responsible for the design and installation of its own phone, data and communication systems which systems shall be installed in a manner not to interfere with Landlord’s construction efforts. During construction of Tenant Improvements, a representative of Tenant shall inspect the site no less frequently than once a week and verify and agree that the work in progress has been completed in a manner acceptable to Tenant.
3.6 The Tenant Improvements shall be commenced upon issuance of the building permit by governmental entities having jurisdiction therefor and, subject to authorized adjustments, Substantial Completion is estimated to be achieved on or about January 15, 2004. As used herein the term “Substantial Completion” shall mean that the Leased Premises have been built and completed in substantial conformity with the Plans, and a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy or a temporary or permanent certificate of acceptance (“CO/CA”) has been issued permitting Tenant to use and occupy the Leased Premises, even though minor details, adjustments or punch list items which shall not materially impair Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises may not have been finally completed, but which work Landlord agrees shall be diligently pursued to final completion. Tenant shall allow Landlord and its contractors to enter the Leased Premises during normal working hours after issuance of the CO/CA to complete remaining minor work or punch list items, provided Landlord gives advance notice and makes reasonable efforts not to interfere with Tenant’s operations. It is agreed that for the purpose of this Lease, wherever and whenever the term Substantial Completion is used, it shall not include items of maintenance, service, punch list, or guarantee. If the date of Substantial Completion occurs on a day other than the first day of a month, rent from such day until the first day of the following month shall be prorated (at a rate of 1/30th of the monthly rent per day). During said period of partial monthly occupancy, all other terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply.
