LEASE ALTERATIONS The Owner hereby gives power to the Agent to initiate, sign, renew, modify, or cancel rental agreements and leases for the Property, or any part thereof and collect and give receipts for rents, other fees, charges, and security deposits.
Tenant Alterations Tenant will not make or allow to be made any alterations in or to the Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; provided, however that such Landlord consent shall not be required for changes that are not to the exterior, or are not to the structure, or are not to Buildings systems, or which are merely cosmetic in nature. All Tenant alterations will be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner at Tenant’s sole expense, in conformity with all Applicable Laws by a licensed and bonded contractor approved in advance by Landlord, such approval of contractor not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All contractors performing alterations in the Premises shall carry workers’ compensation insurance, commercial general liability insurance, automobile insurance and excess liability insurance in amounts reasonably acceptable to Landlord and shall deliver a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverages to Landlord prior to commencing work in the Premises. Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with “as built” plans, copies of all construction contracts, and proof of payment for all labor and materials. All alterations or improvements, shall remain with the Premises upon Lease termination or expiration and will be surrendered to Landlord along with the Premises at such time and will be deemed owned by Landlord at all times from and after and upon completion thereof (but rights to the use of same and Tenant’s obligations to keep in good order, condition and repair and maintain same, as a part of the Premises, shall remain with Tenant pursuant to this Lease during the term of this Lease). Tenant will have no authority or power, express or implied, to create or cause any construction lien or mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien or claim of any kind against the Premises, the Property or any portion thereof. Landlord’s interest in the Premises is not and shall not be subject to any liens as a result of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises including specifically, without limitation, for improvements made by Tenant, and all such liens are expressly prohibited. Tenant will promptly cause any such liens or claims to be released by payment, bonding or otherwise within thirty (30) days after request by Landlord, and will indemnify Landlord against losses arising out of any such claim including, without limitation, legal fees and court costs. Landlord has the right, but not the obligation, to discharge any such lien. Any amount paid by Landlord for such purpose and Landlord’s related reasonable attorneys’ fees shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand and shall accrue interest from the date paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed therefor at the highest rate permitted by Law. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LANDLORD WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIAL FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO TENANT, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING THE PREMISES THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, AND THAT NO MECHANICS’ OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS WILL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PREMISES. TENANT WILL DISCLOSE THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS TO ANY CONTRACTOR ENGAGED BY TENANT PROVIDING LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIAL TO THE PREMISES.
Tenant Improvements Landlord shall cause the Core and Shell Contractor or another Contractor designated by Landlord and approved by Tenant, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (“TI Contractor”, and together with Core and Shell Contractor, “Contractor”) to commence and thereafter diligently prosecute the construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter (the “Tenant Improvements”); provided, however, that before performing the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall prepare in good faith an estimated budget for the construction of the Tenant Improvements and deliver such budget to Tenant for Tenant’s written approval prior the start of construction (the “Budget”). Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively and in good faith to achieve a mutually acceptable Budget. Landlord shall update the Budget for Tenant’s review and approval at reasonable intervals and shall notify Tenant in writing if the Budget is likely to be exceeded. If there is an indication that the Budget is likely to be exceeded, Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively, if required by Tenant, to modify the scope of the Tenant Improvements to bring the same in line with a budget reasonably acceptable to Tenant. The Tenant Improvements shall be performed in a workmanlike manner and shall substantially conform with Applicable Laws and the Approved TI Plans (as defined in the Work Letter). Tenant shall pay all TI Costs, except that Landlord shall pay for TI Costs that do not exceed the TI Allowance. The “TI Allowance” shall mean (a) One Hundred Twenty Five Dollars ($125.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises (the “Initial TI Allowance”), together with (b) the Additional Allowance. The “TI Costs” shall mean all Tenant Core and Shell Costs (as defined in the Work Letter) and all costs and expenses of performing the TI Work, including without limitation the hard and soft costs of (i) construction, (ii) the Construction Management Fee (as such term is defined in the Work Letter) and any Project or construction management fees paid by Tenant to an unaffiliated third party (such fees not to exceed three percent (3%) of the TI Allowance), (iii) space planning, design, architect, engineering, data and phone cabling and other related services, (iv) costs and expenses for labor, material, equipment, data and phone cabling and fixtures (including, without limitation, any of the Attached Property (as defined in Section 18.5), (v) building permits and other taxes, fees, charges and levies by governmental and quasi-governmental agencies for permits or for inspections of the Tenant Improvements, and (vi) the Warm Shell Costs. In no event shall the TI Allowance be used for: (w) the purchase of any furniture, personal property or other non-building system equipment, (x) costs resulting from a Tenant Delay, (y) costs resulting from any default by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, or (z) costs that are recoverable or reasonably recoverable by Tenant from a third party (e.g., insurers, warrantors, or tortfeasors). In the event the estimated total TI Costs (as set forth in the Budget) exceed the TI Allowance, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord such overage (the “TI Allowance Excess”), within five (5) business days of receiving the Budget (the “TI Deposit”). In the event Landlord determines the estimate of the TI Costs set forth in the Budget underestimates the amount of TI Costs so that the TI Deposit will not be sufficient to cover the TI Allowance Excess, then Landlord shall communicate the same to Tenant and, if required by Tenant, the parties shall discuss revisions to the Budget and Tenant may make a TI Tenant Change Order Request to reduce TI Costs, and unless the TI Costs are reduced to be within the Budget and previously paid TI Deposit, Tenant shall promptly pay the additional amount to Landlord, and such additional amount shall be added to the TI Deposit. If the sum of the TI Allowance plus the TI Deposit is not sufficient to cover the TI Costs, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the difference between (a) the TI Costs and (b) the sum of the TI Allowance and the TI Deposit. However, Landlord shall be solely responsible for any costs related to the Tenant Improvements to the extent the same result from Landlord’s gross negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively at no cost or risk to Landlord to maximize Tenant’s ability, to the extent reasonably possible, to obtain the benefit of any applicable research and development tax credits with respect to the Tenant Improvements.
Demolition work (a) As of 1 October 2020 where Employees are directly performing demolition works that would require a demolition permit that allows the performance of such work, they will receive the amount of $8.35 per hour or the site allowance, whichever is the greater. This allowance will be adjusted annually in accordance with CPI (All Groups, Melbourne) movements measured in the twelve month period ending the previous December quarter effective as of 1 March 2021, rounded to the nearest 5 cents.
(b) As of 1 October 2020 where Employees are employed in connection with, and on work, with employees of demolition contractors (ie. working within the demolition zone and/or subject to the additional disabilities arising from that demolition), they will receive the amount of $7.50 per hour or the site allowance, whichever is the greater. This allowance will be adjusted annually in accordance with CPI (All Groups, Melbourne) movements measured in the twelve month period ending the previous December quarter effective as of 1 March 2021, rounded to the nearest 5 cents.
Tenant’s Alterations (a) Except as hereafter provided, Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements (“Tenant Alterations”) to the Leased Space without the consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. At the time of Landlord’s consent, Landlord shall designate whether Tenant shall be required to remove the proposed Tenant Alteration upon termination of this Lease, and the absence of such designation in Landlord’s written consent shall be deemed Landlord’s agreement that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove Tenant Alterations upon the termination of this Lease. Landlord also may impose such reasonable conditions as part of its consent as Landlord deems appropriate, taking into consideration the nature of the proposed Tenant Alteration, including, without limitation, requiring Tenant to furnish Landlord with security for the payment of all costs to be incurred in connection with such work, insurance, and copies of the plans, specifications and permits necessary for such work. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to obligate Tenant to construct any Tenant Alteration for which Landlord has given its consent.
(b) Landlord’s consent shall not be required for Tenant Alterations which (i) do not adversely impact the structural integrity of the Building or the systems serving the Building or their operation, (ii) are not visible from the Building exterior and (iii) qualify under the following:
(A) The Tenant Alteration is to be made to portions of the Leased Premises other than the laboratory areas and the cost thereof is $10,000 or less with respect to any Tenant Alteration project (or $20,000 or less in the aggregate with respect to Tenant Alteration projects undertaken over any twelve (12) consecutive month period); or
(B) The Tenant Alteration is to be made to the laboratory areas of the Leased Premises and the cost thereof is $50,000 or less with respect to any Tenant Alteration project (or $100,000 or less in the aggregate with respect to Tenant Alteration projects undertaken over any twelve (12) consecutive month period). Tenant Alterations described in this subsection (b) for which Landlord’s consent is not required hereinafter are called “Permitted Tenant Alterations.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, painting or carpeting of the interior of the Leased Space and like cosmetic improvements shall not be deemed Tenant Alterations regardless of the cost thereof. Tenant shall not be obligated to remove Permitted Tenant Alterations upon the termination of this Lease unless an Event of Default has occurred which is then continuing and Landlord so requires such removal.
(c) All Tenant Alterations shall be done at Tenant’s expense by contractors approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall be deemed given unless Landlord notifies Tenant of its objections within ten (10) business days after delivery of Tenant’s request for approval. With respect to Tenant Alterations other than the Permitted Tenant Alterations, no work shall be performed until the plans therefore have been approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and shall be deemed approved unless Landlord notifies Tenant of objections to the proposed plans within ten (10) business days after delivery to Landlord of a complete set of the plans therefor. In connection with the review of plans submitted by Tenant, Landlord shall be reimbursed by Tenant for Landlord’s cost in reviewing such plans at the rate of $125.00 per hour; subject to reasonable increase to reflect the then current hourly charge imposed for such review by Landlord for its tenants in the Center generally, and prior to undertaking any such review, Landlord shall provide a statement of the maximum review hours to be dedicated to such review. With respect to Permitted Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of Tenant’s application for a building permit therefor, if applicable (together with all attachments thereto), and no review fee shall be charged to Tenant by Landlord in connection therewith nor shall Landlord’s approval of such application be required. Tenant shall provide copies of as-built plans and specifications for all Tenant Alterations to Landlord within a reasonable time of completion of the Tenant Alteration. All Tenant Alterations shall be done in a first class, workmanlike manner and shall comply with all insurance requirements then made available to Tenant and all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereover, and, where applicable, with all reasonable requirements of Landlord imposed as a condition of such consent.
(d) If, as a condition of Landlord’s consent, removal of a Tenant Alteration is required at termination of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly remove such Tenant Alterations and repair any damage occasioned by such removal. In default thereof, Landlord may effect said removal and repairs at Tenants expense. With respect to any Tenant Alterations which Tenant is not obligated to remove hereunder (including without limitation Permitted Tenant Alterations), such Tenant Alterations, if not removed by Tenant upon the termination of this Lease, shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant, and deemed a part of Landlord’s property, notwithstanding any provision of Section 16 to the contrary.
Alterations Tenant shall not make any alterations to the Premises, including any changes to the existing landscaping, without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant may make non-structural alterations costing less than $50,000 per event without Landlord's consent. Regardless of whether Landlord's consent for alteration is required, Tenant must provide Landlord at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the commencement of any alteration with a complete description of each such alteration including any building permit drawing(s) and specifications. Landlord may post notices regarding non-responsibility in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Premises are located. All alterations made by Tenant, whether or not subject to the approval of Landlord, shall be performed by Tenant and its contractors in a first class workmanlike manner and permits and inspections shall be obtained from all required governmental entities. Any alterations made shall remain on and be surrendered with the Premises upon expiration or termination of this Lease, except that Landlord may, in connection with Tenant's request for Landlord's approval of any such alteration, elect to require Tenant to remove some or all of the alterations which Tenant may have made to the Premises ("REQUIRED REMOVABLES"). If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall at its own cost restore the Premises to the condition designated by Landlord in its election or pursuant to any prior approval, before the last day of the Term. Should Landlord consent in writing to Tenant's alteration of the Premises, Tenant shall contract with a contractor approved by Landlord for the construction of such alterations, shall secure all appropriate governmental approvals and permits, and shall complete such alterations with due diligence in compliance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord (if required). Tenant shall pay all costs for such construction and shall keep the Premises free and clear of all mechanics' liens which may result from construction by Tenant. Tenant's property shall include, without limitation, Tenant's furniture, furnishings, business machines and equipment, computer conduits, communications equipment and such other property as may be required in the conduct of Tenant's business. Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation (except at the expiration or prior termination of the Term), to remove the same at any time, to finance the purchase thereof, to grant security interests therein and to otherwise encumber same.
Repairs and Alterations (14.1) Tenant shall keep and maintain the Leased Premises in good repair and condition; keep in good running order the heating and air conditioning systems, electric wiring, toilets, water pipes, water, gas and electric fixtures; replace all locks and deliver keys to Landlord after replacement of locks, trimmings, glass and plate glass broken during the tenancy, regardless of the manner in which same may have been broken, unstop all water fixtures that may become choked and repair all water pipes and plumbing that may burst. If any elevators, escalators, lifts, machinery or appliances (herein called "equipment") are situate on the Leased Premises, Tenant shall care for, maintain and repair same, and shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord from any liability or claims for damages or injuries to persons and property arising therefrom. Tenant shall not make any alterations of, additions to or changes in the Leased Premises or equipment without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and all alterations, changes and improvements, by whomsoever made, shall be the property of Landlord.
(14.2) Tenant agrees that all additions and improvements and attached equipment and fixtures installed in or on the Leased Premises by the Tenant, including but not being limited to, electric wiring, electric fixtures, show window reflectors, screens, screen doors, awnings, awnings frames floor coverings, landscaping, furnaces and air conditioning machinery and equipment, shall immediately become the property of the Landlord and shall not be removed by Tenant at the termination of this Lease, unless requested to do so by the Landlord, in which event Tenant agrees to do so and to repair promptly any damage caused by such removal.
(14.3) Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as requiring Landlord to make any repairs, except of a structural nature. Landlord shall maintain and make all necessary structural repairs to the foundations, load bearing walls and roof. This does not include the repairing of any glass or moving parts such as passage and overhead doors. (The Tenant will maintain the ------ common areas as outlined in the Addendum.) alterations, rebuilding, replacements, changes or additions placed by Tenant thereon, in as good condition and repair as the same were in at the commencement of the original term, normal wear and tear excepted; provided, however, Tenant shall not be required to return the Leased Premises and equipment in as good condition as aforesaid if the same are damaged or destroyed by fire or otherwise, unless caused by Tenant's fault or negligence which is not adequately covered by insurance.
Tenant’s Work Section 5.1 Except as may be expressly provided in this lease, Tenant shall not replace any fixtures in the Premises or make any changes, improvements, alterations or additions (collectively, “Tenant’s Work”), to the Premises, the Real Property, the Building systems, or any part thereof, without Xxxxxxxx’s prior consent. Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if Tenant’s Work (a) is nonstructural, and (b) does not (i) affect any part of the Real Property outside the Premises (including the Building roof) or the exterior of the Premises, (ii) affect any structural element of the Building, (iii) adversely affect any Building system, or (iv) require an amendment of the certificate of occupancy for the Premises or the Building, ( c) is not visible outside the Premises and (d) is performed only by contractors and subcontractors first approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Tenant’s Work shall be performed, at Tenant’s expense, with diligence when started so as to promptly complete it in a good and worker-like manner using new materials of first class quality and in compliance with this lease, all Laws and Tenant’s Plans (as defined in Section 5.2) as approved by Landlord. As part of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall soundproof the Premises and install appropriate ventilation if required so that Tenant’s use of the Premises shall not result in noise and/or odors being transmitted outside the Premises. Tenant’s Work shall be fully paid for by Tenant when payment is due and shall not be financed with any conditional sales or title retention agreements or by the granting of any security interests, liens, encumbrances or financing statements. Tenant’s Work shall be deemed, upon installation, to be improvements and betterments that become the property of Landlord at installation, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises, at the expiration of the Term (or the sooner termination of this lease in accordance with its provisions) unless Landlord notifies Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article that Landlord relinquishes its rights thereto, in which case Tenant shall be obligated to remove such Tenant’s Work.
Section 5.2 Prior to commencing any Tenant’s Work other than purely Cosmetic Alterations, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, deliver to Landlord detailed plans and specifications, for Tenant’s Work, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, prepared, certified, signed and sealed by an architect or engineer licensed to practice in the State of New York, and suitable for filing with the applicable Authority, if filing is required by applicable Laws (such plans and specifications together with revisions thereto, collectively, “Tenant’s Plans”), and obtain Landlord’s approval of Xxxxxx’s Plans. Xxxxxxxx’s approval of Xxxxxx’s Plans shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed to the extent Xxxxxxxx’s consent to Xxxxxx’s Work shown on Tenant’s Plans is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed pursuant to this Article.

The Tenant may not make any alterations to the leased premises without the consent in writing of the Landlord. The Landlord shall be responsible for repairs to the interior and exterior of the building. If the Premises includes a washer, dryer, freezer, dehumidifier unit and/or air conditioning unit, the Landlord makes no warranty as to the repair or replacement of units if one or all shall fail to operate. The Landlord will place fresh batteries in all battery-operated smoke detectors when the Tenant moves into the premises. After the initial placement of the fresh batteries it is the responsibility of the Tenant to replace batteries when needed.
