Additional Improvements Common Area Operating Expenses shall not include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor's records and work sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Industrial Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other lessees. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.1 hereof, Lessee shall, however, pay to Lessor at the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph 4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed solely by reason of Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility Installations placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.

Tenant's Improvements If the Lessor is the Insuring Party, the Lessor shall not be required to insure Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations unless the item in question has become the property of Lessor under the terms of this Lease. If Lessee is the Insuring Party, the policy carried by Lessee under this Paragraph 8.3 shall insure Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations.
Lessee Improvements Lessee shall prepare final plans and ------------------- specifications for construction of the Lessee Improvements desired by Lessee and shall deliver to Lessor by July 1, 1999, two (2) copies of such plans and specifications and the names of two proposed contractors to construct the Lessee Improvements for Lessor approval. Lessor will promptly either approve of the plans and specifications and the contractors, or communicate its objections, and if Lessor has objections, the Lessor will work diligently with Lessee to resolve any objections such that approval of the plans and specifications and names of contractors is given within fifteen (15) days of receipt. Lessor shall be deemed to have approved the plans and specifications and the contractors unless Lessor shall have provided written notice to Lessee of Lessor's objections thereto within fourteen (14) days following the delivery thereof by Lessee to Lessor. The Lessor approved final plans and specifications for the Lessee Improvements are herein called the "Lessee Improvements Final Plans and Specifications". All reasonable costs involved in approving, drafting and preparing the Lessee Improvements Final Plans and Specifications shall be charged against the Improvement Allowance described below. Lessor shall apply for building permits to construct the Lessee Improvements and will submit bid requests to the two contractors selected by Lessee and the contractor for the Shell Building Improvements no later than two (2) days following approval of the Lessee Improvements Final Plans and Specifications. Contractors will be required to submit their bids no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of the bid request. Lessee shall have fifteen (15) days from receipt of all bids to select the contractor for the Lessee Improvements. Except for immaterial field changes, modifications to the Lessee Improvements Final Plans and Specifications must be made and accepted only by written change order or agreement signed by Lessor and Lessee and will constitute an amendment to this Lease. Lessee shall be responsible for payment in advance of all work and construction resulting from changes in the Lessee Improvements Final Plans and Specifications requested by Lessee if the additional cost attributable to the changes exceed the Improvement Allowance by more than $3.00 as described in subparagraph (c) below. The Lessee Improvements Final Plans and Specifications (when approved by Lessor and Lessee) are incorporated in this Lease by reference. For the purpose of this Section, an "immaterial field change" shall mean such field changes which are required by any governmental authority or changes which (i) do not affect the size, configuration, structural integrity, quality, character, architectural appearance and standard of workmanship contemplated in the Lessee Improvements Final Plans and Specifications, (ii) will not result in any default in any obligation to any person or violation of any governmental requirements, and (iii) the cost of or reduction resulting from any single field change or extra does not exceed $5,000.00.
Tenant Improvement Plans Any work proposed by Tenant (the “Tenant Improvements”) shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable prior approval and shall be subject to the other terms and conditions of this Exhibit C; provided that it will be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its approval or consent (as and when applicable under this Exhibit C) if Landlord’s Mortgagee has not consented to the matter that is the subject of such approval or consent. All architectural, engineering and other design fees shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall use its architect, engineers and other design professionals, all of whom shall comply with any applicable licensing or governmental requirements of the City of Seattle and the State of Washington; Tenant’s architect shall be approved by Landlord (“Tenant’s Architect”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall also be entitled to receive a copy of the agreement between Tenant and Tenant’s Architect (the “Architect Agreement”). Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to prepare a draft space plan (the “Space Plan”) for the Tenant Improvements and shall submit the proposed Space Plan to Landlord for the latter’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) in a time period to allow Tenant to timely complete its Tenant Improvements under this Lease. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any written objections, questions or comments of Landlord with regard to the Space Plan within ten (10) business days of receipt; Landlord’s consent thereto shall be deemed given if not denied in writing within said ten (10) business day period. If Landlord denies its approval, it shall specify the reasons for doing so in detail. Tenant shall cause the Space Plan to be revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said Space Plan to Landlord for approval. Such process shall continue until Landlord has approved the Space Plan. Tenant’s Architect shall then prepare working drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements, including architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and fire protection drawings as required, suitable for permit application (the “Working Drawings”) and shall submit the proposed Working Drawings to Landlord for the latter’s approval in a time period to allow Tenant to timely complete its Tenant Improvements under this Lease. The Space Plan and Working Drawings shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which Landlord agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Landlord shall not be deemed to have acted unreasonably if it withholds its approval thereof because, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the work, as described in any such item: (i) is likely to adversely affect Building Systems, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building and/or their occupants; (ii) might impair Landlord’s ability to furnish services to Tenant or other tenants in the Building; (iii) would materially increase the cost of operating the Building; (iv) would violate any governmental laws, rules or ordinances (or interpretations thereof); (v) contains or uses hazardous or toxic materials or substances; (vi) would negatively affect the appearance of the Building; (vii) is reasonably likely to adversely affect another tenant’s premises; or (viii) is prohibited by any ground lease affecting the Building or any mortgage, trust deed or other instrument encumbering the Building. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any written objections, questions or comments of Landlord with regard to the Working Drawings, within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Working Drawings; Landlord’s consent thereto shall be deemed given if not denied in writing within said ten (10) business day period. If Landlord denies its approval, it shall specify the reasons for doing so in detail. Tenant shall cause the Working Drawings to be revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said Working Drawings to Landlord for approval. Landlord may, when approving the Tenant Improvement Plans, elect to require Tenant to remove any Non-Standard Improvements which are made to the Premises. If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall, at its own cost, restore the Premises to the condition designated by Landlord in its election, before the last day of the Term. Such process shall continue until both parties have approved the Working Drawings. Landlord’s approval of the Space Plan and/or the Working Drawings shall not be deemed any representation or warranty that the same comply with applicable codes.
Installation, Maintenance, Testing and Repair Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, to the extent required by Applicable Law, Interconnection provided by a Party shall be equal in quality to that provided by such Party to itself, any subsidiary, affiliates or third party. If either Party is unable to fulfill its obligations under this Section 14.2, it shall notify the other Party of its inability to do so and will negotiate alternative intervals in good faith. The Parties agree that to the extent required by Applicable Law, the standards to be used by a Party for isolating and clearing any disconnections and/or other outages or troubles shall be at parity with standards used by such Party with respect to itself, any subsidiary, affiliate or third party.
Landlord Improvements (a) On the Commencement Date, Landlord will deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant in a broom clean condition, and, along with the lighting, electrical (excluding the UPS system and the diesel generator), mechanical and plumbing fixtures, plumbing systems, dock doors and HVAC servicing the Leased Premises, hot water, doors and plate-glass, will be delivered to Tenant in good condition and repair, as defined in Section 5.05 above.
(b) After receipt of the Letter of Credit and any required building permit, Landlord will commence and diligently pursue to completion, the construction of the improvements to the Leased Premises (the “Landlord Improvements”), in accordance with plans and specifications as shown in Exhibit B, subject to approval by local regulatory authorities (the “Plans”), which Plans are made a part of this Lease by reference. Any changes or modifications to the Plans must be made and accepted by written change order or agreement signed by Landlord and Tenant and will constitute an amendment to this Lease. Any Landlord Improvements made by Landlord are the property of Landlord and must be surrendered to Landlord upon the termination of this Lease without credit to Tenant. Upon completion of any Landlord Improvements and issuance of a final certificate of occupancy (to be applied for by Landlord’s general contractor) and certification from Landlord’s general contractor certifying to Tenant that all Landlord Improvements have been completed in accordance with the Plans (the “General Contractor’s Certificate”), thereafter Landlord shall provide and Tenant shall acknowledge receipt and acceptance of “as-built plans” of all work done in accordance with this Section 6.01.
(c) Landlord shall furnish an allowance of up to $172,800.00 (One hundred seventy-two thousand, eight hundred dollars) (“Landlord Improvement Allowance”) to be credited against the cost of the construction of the Landlord Improvements. If the actual cost of construction of the Landlord Improvements is less than the Landlord Improvement Allowance (“Allowance Overage”), Tenant shall have no right or claim to such difference; provided however, that if there is an Allowance Overage, Landlord, upon submission of supporting documentation by Tenant, will reimburse Tenant for any third party costs of low voltage wiring and laboratory benches for the Leased Premises, but such reimbursement shall not exceed the lesser of the Allowance Overage or 69,120.00 (Sixty-nine thousand, one hundred twenty & xx/100 dollars). If the actual cost of construction of the Landlord Improvements exceeds the Landlord Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall pay such excess cost to Landlord within ten (10) business days after receipt of supporting documentation and the General Contractor’s Certificate,.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6.01 (c) above, within 30 days after the issuance of the General Contractor’s Certificate, Landlord will determine the sum of (i) the actual cost of the Landlord Improvements, plus (ii) if any, the actual costs submitted by Tenant towards the Contingent Allowance, and the product of the calculation shall be rounded to the next $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars). If the resultant amount is less than the Landlord Improvement Allowance, Landlord shall reduce the monthly Base Rent by $20.25 (“Base Rent Reduction Factor”) for each whole $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars) of such amount effective January 1, 2012. If it is determined that the monthly Base Rent is to be reduced and if Tenant has already paid Base Rent in a pre-reduction amount, Landlord shall give Tenant credit for any such excess payment, and reduction in monthly Base Rent shall be memorialized in an amendment to this Lease. In the event that the monthly Base Rent is reduced in accordance with this Section 6.01(d), there shall be no reduction in the Security Deposit Amount or in the requirements set forth for the Letter of Credit. The following example illustrates the intentions of the parties hereto as to computation of any reduction of the monthly Base Rent: Assumptions:
1. Actual cost of the Landlord Improvements: $100,000.00
2. Actual cost of qualifying costs for Contingent Allowance: $50,500.00 Total cost of Landlord Improvements and Contingent Allowance Costs: ($100,000.00 + $50,500.00) = $150,500.00 Determination of reduction in monthly Base Rent: Total Landlord Improvement Allowance $ 172,800.00 Less total cost of Landlord Improvements and contingent costs 150,500.00 $ 22300.00 Rounded to next $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars) $ 23,000.00 Divided by $1,000.00 (One Thousand Dollars) 1,000.00 Base Rent Reduction Factor 20.25 Reduction in monthly Base Rent $ 465.75
(e) In addition to the Landlord Improvements, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, shall have the following additional work performed on the Leased Premises prior to delivery of possession to Tenant, such work to be coordinated with the construction of the Landlord Improvements:
(i) Replace all stained, damaged or missing ceiling tiles,
(ii) Paint all walls in the Leased Premises, the color to be designated by Tenant,
(iii) Replace all vinyl floor tiles in the open laboratory area as shown in Exhibit C,
(iv) Shampoo all carpets in the office areas and hallways and
(v) Any existing water supply or drainage pipes in the open lab area that are not initially utilized by Tenant shall be capped and made reasonably flush with the floor, but such capping shall allow for those pipes to be tapped by Tenant for future use.
(vi) Re-caulk all perimeter flashing; install new pads under all gas line blocking; repair any loose or open curb or wall flashing; repack all pitch pans; repair any open joints on gravel guard; repair any loose scupper flashing; clean, prime and install EPDM peel and stick tape to all roof side tilt wall joints; clean all debris from around drains and entire roof; install Xxxxxx 97 asbestos free aluminum coating to entire roof surface
(vii) Repair any existing alligator or pothole areas.
