Plans and Specifications Tenant shall be solely responsible for the preparation of the final architectural, electrical and mechanical construction drawings, plans and specifications (called “plans”) necessary for Tenant to construct the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, which plans shall be subject to approval by Landlord’s architect and engineers and shall comply with their reasonable requirements to avoid aesthetic or other conflicts with the design and function of the balance of the Building. Landlord’s approval is solely given for the benefit of Landlord, and neither Tenant nor any third party shall have the right to rely upon Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans for any purpose whatsoever other than that Landlord does not object thereto under this Lease. Landlord’s architects and engineers shall respond (with approval or disapproval) to any plan submission by Tenant within 8 business days after Landlord’s receipt thereof. If Landlord fails to respond to any such submission within such 8 business day period, which failure continues for more than 2 business days after Tenant gives Landlord a written notice (the “Deemed Approved Notice”) advising Landlord that such plan submission shall be deemed approved within 2 business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Deemed Approved Notice, then such plan submission shall be deemed approved hereunder. The Deemed Approved Notice shall, in order to be effective, contain on the first page thereof, in a font at least twice as large as the font of any other text contained in such notice, a legend substantially as follows: “FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT HEREOF SHALL CONSTITUTE LANDLORD’S APPROVAL OF SUBMITTED PLANS.” In the event Landlord’s architect’s or engineers’ approval of Tenant’s plans is withheld or conditioned, Landlord shall send prompt written notification thereof to Tenant and include a reasonably detailed statement identifying the reasons for such refusal or condition, and Tenant shall promptly have the plans revised by its architect to incorporate all reasonable objections and conditions presented by Landlord and shall resubmit such plans to Landlord. Landlord’s architects and engineers shall respond (with approval or disapproval) to any plan re-submission by Tenant within 8 business days after Landlord’s receipt thereof. Such process shall be followed until the plans shall have been approved by Landlord’s architect and engineers without unreasonable objection or condition. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment), and Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design. Tenant agrees it shall be solely responsible for the timely preparation and submission of all such plans and for all elements of the design of such plans and for all costs related thereto. (The word “architect” as used in this Section 3.2 shall include an interior designer or space planner.) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred in connection with the review of Tenant’s plans.
APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS The Plans and Specifications will conform to the requirements and conditions set out by applicable law or any effective restrictive covenant, and to all governmental authorities which exercise jurisdiction over the Leased Premises or the construction thereon.
Maintenance Repairs and Alterations 6.01 Tenant's Obligations to Repair ------------------------------ Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense, maintain in clean and safe condition, and make all repairs and replacements to the Premises and every part thereof, structural and non-structural, so as to keep, maintain and preserve the Premises in first class condition and repair, including, without limitation, the roof, the foundation, the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system ("HVAC"), elevators, if any, all plumbing and sewage facilities, fire sprinklers, electrical and lighting facilities, systems, appliances, and equipment within the Premises, fixtures, interior and exterior walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, entrances, all interior and exterior glass (including plate glass), and skylights located within the Premises, and all sidewalks, service areas, parking areas and landscaping comprising part of the Premises. All repairs and replacements required to be made by Tenant shall be made promptly with new materials of like kind and quality to those used in the original construction of the Premises. If the repair or replacement work affects the structural parts of the Premises, or if the estimated cost of any item or repair or replacement exceeds $10,000, then Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's written approval of the scope of work, plans therefor, and materials to be used. Any such work shall be performed by Landlord's contractor or by such contractor as Tenant may choose from an approved list to be submitted by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to make any repairs or replacements which are not promptly made by Tenant and charge Tenant, as Additional Rent, for the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the Agreed Rate from the date of payment thereof by Landlord. Without limiting any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, during the Lease Term Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and keep in force an HVAC service contract and a roof maintenance program satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any statute now or hereafter in effect which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in good condition, order and repair. Tenant specifically waives all rights it may have under Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, and any similar or successor statute or law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall exercise its rights under any guaranties or warranties relating to the original construction of the Premises if the need to make repairs arises due to a defect therein; provided, however, Landlord shall not have any liability or be required to expend any funds if such guaranties or warranties are not honored by the makers hereof.
Construction of Improvements (A) Lessee warrants and agrees that the Building will be constructed on the Leased Premises, and all other improvements to the land, including the parking lot, approaches, and service areas, will be constructed in all material respects by Lessee substantially in accordance with the plot, plans, and specifications heretofore submitted to Lessor.
Construction of the Tenant Improvements Landlord shall construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with this exhibit and the construction contract to be executed by Landlord and its contractor(s). The construction contract for constructing the Tenant Improvements and the contractor(s) to perform the work shall be approved and/or selected, as the case may be, by Landlord at its sole and absolute discretion without the consent of Tenant.
Construction of Tenant Improvements Promptly following approval of the Final TI Working Drawings, Landlord shall apply for and use reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to allow construction of Landlord’s TI Work. Upon receipt of such permits and approvals, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense (subject to the application of the Tenant Improvement Allowance provided in this Workletter, and subject to any other applicable provisions of the Lease or of this Workletter expressly making any specific item of expense or cost the responsibility of Landlord), diligently construct and complete Landlord’s TI Work substantially in accordance with the Approved TI Plans, subject to Unavoidable Delays and Tenant Delays (if any). Such construction shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and shall conform to all applicable governmental codes, laws and regulations in force at the time such work is completed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for compliance of Landlord’s TI Work with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and all similar or related requirements pertaining to access by persons with disabilities, but nothing in this sentence shall be construed to make Landlord responsible for bearing the cost of any such compliance, to the extent the compliance work is reasonably attributable to or related to the particular nature or design of the Tenant Improvements or is for any other reason expressly made Tenant’s cost or responsibility under any applicable provision of the Lease or of this Workletter. Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decide whether and to what extent to use union labor on or in connection with Landlord’s Work, and shall use the TI General Contractor to construct all of Landlord’s TI Work. Landlord and Tenant shall each have a right to approve all subcontractors engaged in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements and to review and approve all competitive bids for any elements of the Tenant Improvements, such approval in each instance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either party.
Construction Plans Tenant shall prepare final plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements that (a) are consistent with and are logical evolutions of the Approved Schematic Plans and (b) incorporate any other Tenant-requested (and Landlord-approved) Changes (as defined below). As soon as such final plans and specifications ("Construction Plans") are completed, Tenant shall deliver the same to Landlord for Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All such Construction Plans shall be submitted by Tenant to Landlord in electronic .pdf, CADD and full-size hard copy formats, and shall be approved or disapproved by Landlord within ten (10) business days after delivery to Landlord. Landlord's failure to respond within such ten (10) business day period shall be deemed approval by Landlord. If the Construction Plans are disapproved by Landlord, then Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its objections to such Construction Plans, and the parties shall confer and negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the Construction Plans. Promptly after the Construction Plans are approved by Landlord and Tenant, two (2) copies of such Construction Plans shall be initialed and dated by Landlord and Tenant, and Tenant shall promptly submit such Construction Plans to all appropriate Governmental Authorities for approval. The Construction Plans so approved, and all change orders approved (to the extent required) by Landlord, are referred to herein as the "Approved Plans."
Completion of Improvements Landlord, through its general contractor (“Contractor”), shall furnish and install within the Premises those items of general design, engineering and construction, shown on the final plans and specifications approved by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the Schedule of Approvals below, in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations and matters of record, and complete any construction required in the Common Areas of the Building when such construction is required by or arises out of completion of such work (collectively the “Improvements”). The contractor constructing the Improvements in the Premises shall be selected pursuant to a procedure whereby the final Plans and Specifications (as such term is defined in this Exhibit B) are submitted to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Builders, Inc. (“XXX”) and Pinnacle Contracting Corporation (collectively, the “Approved Contractors”), who shall be requested to each submit to Landlord and to Tenant a sealed contract bid using such forms reasonably acceptable to Landlord in order to provide an “apples to apples” bidding process. The sealed bids shall be delivered to Tenant and Landlord and opened jointly by Landlord and Xxxxxx. Tenant, in Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion, shall select the Contractor from the two Approved Contractors (regardless of which has the lower bid). Each bid from the contractors shall specify any allowances for exclusions and shall further provide that said bids are without overtime premiums or bonuses necessary to complete the Improvements in accordance with the terms hereof. The architect engaged by Xxxxxx to prepare the Space Plan and Plans and Specifications and related design work for the Improvements shall be Xxxxxxx (the “Architect”). Landlord shall disburse amounts of the Allowance (up to the maximum specified below) to Architect within thirty (30) days after receipt of paid invoices from Architect or Tenant for Architect’s services; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall pay $[***] for the Architect’s preparation of the Space Plan (as evidenced by the Architect’s invoice number 68045 dated October 15, 2010), at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (and without using the Allowance or any portion thereof). The definition of Improvements shall include all costs associated with completing the Improvements, including but not limited to, fees payable to Xxxxxxx, space planning, design, architectural, and engineering fees, contracting, labor and material costs, municipal fees, plan check and permit costs, and document development and/or reproduction, and all costs and expenses for any construction manager(s) engaged by Xxxxxx (provided such soft costs for architectural and engineering services charged against the Allowance shall not exceed $[***] per square feet of Usable Area in the Premises) at Tenant’s sole option. The Space Plan and the Plans and Specifications (each as defined in Section 3 of this Exhibit B) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord’s approval of any iteration of a Space Plan or Plans and Specifications shall be deemed granted unless Landlord provides a reasonable disapproval or approval to Tenant prior to the sixth (6th) business day after Landlord’s receipt of the Space Plan or Plans and Specifications. Without limiting Landlord’s discretion to reasonably withhold its approval, Tenant agrees that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its approval of any aspect of Tenant’s Space Plan or Plans and Specifications (or, in either case, any proposed changes thereto) which (i) adversely affect Building systems, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building and/or its occupants, (ii) would violate any governmental laws, rules or ordinances; (iii) would require any changes that adversely impact the base, shell and core of the Building, and/or (iv) are inconsistent with the standards of first class office buildings in the vicinity of the Building, as reasonably determined by Landlord and the Contractor. Landlord shall provide a written statement of any disapproval of any Space Plan or Plans and Specifications stating the reasons for Xxxxxxxx’s disapproval. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any change in the scope of work or details of construction after Xxxxxx’s and Landlord’s approval of the Plans and Specifications shall constitute a “Change Order”, the costs of which may be charged against any available amounts of the Allowance under this Exhibit B. To the extent the Change Order delays construction of the Improvements, the same shall be a Tenant Delay. [***] = CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THIS OMITTED INFORMATION.
Improvements; Alterations Improvements to the Premises shall be installed at Tenant’s expense only in accordance with plans and specifications which have been previously submitted to and approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall be governed by the provisions set forth in this Section 8(a). No alterations or physical additions in or to the Premises may be made without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; however, Landlord may withhold its consent to any alteration or addition that would adversely affect (in the reasonable discretion of Landlord) the (1) Building’s Structure or the Building’s Systems (including the Building’s restrooms or mechanical rooms), (2) exterior appearance of the Building, (3) appearance of the Building’s common areas or elevator lobby areas, or (4) provision of services to other occupants of the Building. Tenant shall not paint or install lighting or decorations, signs, window or door lettering, or advertising media of any type visible from the exterior of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. All alterations, additions, and improvements shall be constructed, maintained, and used by Tenant, at its risk and expense, in accordance with all Laws; Landlord’s consent to or approval of any alterations, additions or improvements (or the plans therefor) shall not constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord, nor Landlord’s acceptance, that the same comply with sound architectural and/or engineering practices or with all applicable Laws, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring all such compliance.
Cost of Tenant Improvements Unless specified otherwise herein, Landlord shall bear and pay the cost of the Tenant Improvements (which cost shall include, without limitation, the costs of construction, the cost of permits and permit expediting, the costs of code compliance work, if such work is required as a result of, or is a condition imposed by appropriate governmental authorities for, construction of the Tenant Improvements, and all architectural and engineering services obtained by Landlord in connection with the Tenant Improvements, the Contractor's fees, Landlord's fee for construction administration in an amount which shall not exceed three percent (3%) of hard costs, utilities, and Landlord's Insurance Costs (including, without limitation, course of construction insurance), from the date of this Work Letter until the Lease Commencement Date up to a maximum of $450,000.00 (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance"). The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be utilized only for building improvements to the Building, and not for signage, furniture costs, any third party consulting or contracting fees, any telecom/cabling costs, or any other purpose. Tenant shall bear and pay the cost of the Tenant Improvements (including but not limited to all of the foregoing fees and costs) in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, if any. The cost of the Tenant Improvements shall exclude the cost of furniture, fixtures and inventory and other items of Tenant's Work (as defined below). Tenant shall have the right to elect to increase the Tenant Improvement Allowance by up to an additional $450,000.00 (the "Additional Allowance"), subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) Tenant shall make such election, if at all, no later than August 15, 1998; (ii) such amount shall be paid to Landlord in equal monthly installments over the seven (7) year Lease Term with interest at 10%, as additional Base Monthly Rent in the manner specified by Article 3 of the Lease; and (iii) the Additional Allowance shall otherwise constitute a part of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and shall be subject to the restrictions and conditions on such Tenant Improvement Allowance provided in this Work Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Lease, Landlord shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the incremental costs incurred by either Landlord or Tenant for asbestos removal within the interior of the Leased Premises required solely as a result of the construction of the Tenant Improvements. 5.
