Alterations and Improvements Tenant shall have the right at any time throughout the term of this Lease and any extensions hereof, to make or cause to be made, any alterations, additions, or improvements, or install or cause to be installed any trade fixture, signs, floor covering, interior or exterior painting or lighting, plumbing fixtures, shades or awnings, as Tenant may deem necessary or suitable with Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the option to remove such alterations, decorations, additions or improvements made by it, provided any damage to Premises resulting from such removal is repaired. Also, upon the expiration of the Initial Term of this Lease, Tenant if requested by Landlord shall remove any signs and repair any damages to the Premises resulting from such removal. During the term, Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, improvements, non-cosmetic changes or other material changes to the Premises without the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Minor Alterations (as defined below) without Landlord’s prior written consent. Minor Alterations, as used herein, shall be defined as any alterations, improvements, etc. made to the Premises (excluding the facade thereof) which do not affect the structure of the buildings, their systems or equipment. If Landlord approves any alterations, additions, improvements, etc., Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, along with Landlord’s approval notice, of whether Tenant shall, upon termination of this Lease, either: (i) remove any such alterations or additions and repair any damage to the Premises (or the buildings in which the Premises are located) occasioned by their installation or removal and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the time when any such alterations or additions were made, or (ii) reimburse Landlord for the cost of removing such alterations or additions and the restoration of the Premises.
Leasehold Improvements Except for Minor Work (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall not construct any Leasehold Improvements or otherwise alter the Leased Premises without Landlord’s prior approval, and not until Landlord shall have first approved the plans and specifications therefor, which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld. All such Leasehold Improvements and alterations (including Minor Work) shall be constructed and installed by Tenant at Tenant’s expense, using a licensed contractor first approved by Landlord (except such approval shall not be required for Minor Work), in substantial compliance with the approved plans and specifications therefor (if such plans and specifications are required hereunder) and in strict accordance with all Laws and Private Restrictions. All such construction and installation shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner using new materials (or such other materials as Landlord shall expressly permit in writing) of good quality. Tenant shall not commence construction of any Leasehold Improvements or alterations until (i) all required governmental approvals and permits shall have been obtained, (ii) all requirements regarding insurance imposed by this Lease shall have been satisfied, and (iii) Tenant shall have given Landlord at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of its intention to commence such construction. The term “Minor Work,” as used herein, shall mean any construction or Leasehold Improvements or alteration of the Leased Premises not involving any structural change or change in the character of the improvements, and involving a cost of less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), provided that, for purposes of determining such cost, multiple construction or alteration projects shall be aggregated to the extent they are related to each other, whether undertaken simultaneously or sequentially. Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s requests for approval under this Paragraph 5.1 promptly (and immediately in the event of emergency) and in any event within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such request. All Leasehold Improvements shall remain the property of Tenant during the Lease Term but shall not be damaged, altered or removed from the Leased Premises. At the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term, all Leasehold Improvements shall be surrendered to Landlord as a part of the realty and shall then become Landlord’s property, and Landlord shall have no obligation to reimburse Tenant for all or any portion of the value or cost thereof; provided, however, that if Landlord shall require Tenant to remove any Leasehold Improvements in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 15.1, then Tenant shall so remove such Leasehold Improvements prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term.
Building and Improvements Lessor shall obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy or policies in the name of Lessor, with loss payable to Lessor and to any Lender(s), insuring against loss or damage to the Premises. Such insurance shall be for full replacement cost, as the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by any Lender(s), but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and available insurable value thereof if, by reason of the unique nature or age of the improvements involved, such latter amount is less than full replacement cost. Lessee-Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures and Lessee's personal property shall be insured by Lessee pursuant to Paragraph 8.4. If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate, Lessor's policy or policies shall insure against all risks of direct physical loss or damage (except the perils of flood and/or earthquake unless required by a Lender), including coverage for any additional costs resulting from debris removal and reasonable amounts of coverage for the enforcement of any ordinance or law regulating the reconstruction or replacement of any undamaged sections of the Building required to be demolished or removed by reason of the enforcement of any building, zoning, safety or land use laws as the result of a covered loss, but not including plate glass insurance. Said policy or policies shall also contain an agreed valuation provision in lieu of any co-insurance clause, waiver of subrogation, and inflation guard protection causing an increase in the annual property insurance coverage amount by a factor of not less than the adjusted U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the city nearest to where the Premises are located.
Inventions and Improvements During the term of his employment, Executive shall promptly communicate to Company all ideas, discoveries and inventions which are or may be useful to Company or its business. Executive acknowledges that all ideas, discoveries, inventions, and improvements which are made, conceived, or reduced to practice by him and every item of knowledge relating to Company's business interests (including potential business interests) gained by him during his employment hereunder are the property of Company, and Executive hereby irrevocably assigns all such ideas, discoveries, inventions, improvements, and knowledge to Company for its sole use and benefit, without additional compensation. The provisions of this Section shall apply whether such ideas, discoveries, inventions, improvements or knowledge are conceived, made or gained by him alone or with others, whether during or after usual working hours, whether on or off the job, whether applicable to matters directly or indirectly related to Company's business interests (including potential business interests), and whether or not within the specific realm of his duties. It shall be conclusively presumed that ideas, inventions, and improvements relating to Company's business interests or potential business interests conceived during the two (2) years following termination of employment are, for the purposes of this Agreement, conceived prior to termination of employment. Executive shall, upon request of Company, but at no expense to Executive, at any time during or after his employment with Company, sign all instruments and documents requested by Company and otherwise cooperate with Company to protect its right to such ideas, discoveries, inventions, improvements, and knowledge, including applying for, obtaining, and enforcing patents and copyrights thereon in any and all countries.
Alterations, Additions, and Improvements Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, Lessee may make any alterations, additions, improvements or other changes to the Premises and the Relevant Assets as may be necessary or useful in connection with the operation of the Relevant Assets (collectively, the “Additional Improvements”). If such Additional Improvements require alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises or any of the Shared Access Facilities, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing in advance and the parties shall negotiate in good faith any increase to the fees paid by Lessee under the Site Services Agreement by Lessee or otherwise provide for reimbursement of any material increase in cost (if any) to Lessor under the Site Services Agreement that results from any modifications to the Premises or the Shared Access Facilities necessary to accommodate the Additional Improvements, or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Any alteration, addition, improvement or other change to the Premises, Relevant Assets or Additional Improvements (and, if agreed by Lessee and Lessor, to the Shared Access Facilities) by Lessee shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Laws. The Relevant Assets and all Additional Improvements shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee within one (1) year after termination of this Lease (provided that such can be removed by Lessee without unreasonable damage or harm to the Premises) or, at Lessee’s option exercisable by notice to Lessor, surrendered to Lessor upon the termination of this Lease. Lessee shall not have the right or power to create or permit any lien of any kind or character on the Premises by reason of repair or construction or other work. In the event any such lien is filed against the Premises, Lessee shall cause such lien to be discharged or bonded within thirty (30) days of the date of filing thereof.
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.
Landlord Improvements Landlord shall substantially complete the Landlord Improvements prior to Tenant’s taking occupancy of the Expansion Space. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Landlord Improvements by May 1, 2014. “Substantial Completion” shall mean the Landlord Improvements have been constructed in material accordance with the above referenced drawing, save and except for minor “punch list” items such that Tenant can occupy the Expansion Space and conduct its business, Landlord has obtained all approvals from the applicable governmental authorities for the legal occupancy of the Expansion Space and Landlord has delivered possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant in the required condition, which date is currently anticipated to be May 1, 2014. Upon Substantial Completion, Landlord shall deliver possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant in good, vacant, broom clean condition, with all building systems in good working order and the roof water-tight, and in compliance with all laws applicable to Landlord or Tenant. In the event that construction of the Landlord Improvements is not substantially completed by May 1, 2014, then the Expansion Space Commencement Date shall be automatically amended to be that date the Expansion Space is delivered to Tenant with the Landlord Improvements substantially complete. Upon Substantial Completion of the Landlord Improvements, Landlord shall give Tenant (i) written notice (“Notice of Completion”) that the Expansion Space are ready for occupancy. Within seven (7) days following Landlord’s giving of the Notice of Completion, Landlord and Tenant shall meet at a mutually convenient time to perform a walk-through of the Expansion Space to inspect the Landlord Improvements and to prepare a punch list of minor items needing correction and Landlord shall promptly cause such items to be corrected.
Lessee Improvements Lessee shall not make or allow to be made any alterations or physical additions in or to the leased premises without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any alterations, physical additions or improvements to the leased premises made by Lessee shall at once become the property of Lessor and shall be surrendered to Lessor upon the termination of this Lease provided that Lessee shall be entitled to retain the property listed on Exhibit A attached hereto, and provided further that, Lessor, at its option, may require Lessee to remove any physical additions and/or repair any alterations in order to restore the leased premises to the condition existing at the time Lessee took possession, reasonable wear and tear excepted, all costs of removal and/or alterations to be borne by Lessee. This clause shall not apply to moveable equipment of furniture owned by Lessee, which may be removed by Lessee at the end of the term of this Lease if Lessee is not then in default and if such equipment and furniture are not then subject to any other rights, liens and interests of Lessor.
Landlord's Improvements All fixtures, improvements or equipment which are installed, constructed on or attached to the Premises or Common Area by Landlord shall be a part of the realty and belong to Landlord.
Improvements to Premises Lessee shall take the Premises in its "as-is" condition for the Extended Term except for certain Leasehold Improvements (herein so called) to the Premises which shall be completed in accordance with the specifications attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Approved Plans"), which have been approved by both Lessor and Lessee. Lessor shall cause the Leasehold Improvements to be installed or constructed in accordance with the Approved Plans by Lessor's contractor. So long as no Event of Default (or event which with notice or lapse of time could become an Event of Default) has occurred under the Lease, Lessor agrees to provide Lessee an allowance equal to One Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand One Hundred Nineteen and No/100 Dollars ($153,119.00) (the "Improvement Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for completion of the Leasehold Improvements in accordance with the Approved Plans, and an additional allowance equal to Three Thousand Two Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,200.00) (the "Architectural Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for space planning and design services for the Premises. In the event that any alterations or modifications to the Premises are required in order to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the State of Texas equivalent laws and regulations, the cost of any such alterations or modifications shall be satisfied out of the Improvement Allowance. The cost of the Leasehold Improvements and the space planning and design fees is to be paid by Lessor out of the Improvement Allowance and the Architectural Allowance, respectively. Any completed work (labor or materials) outside the scope of the Approved Plans or the cost of which is in excess of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance, as the case may be, shall be at Lessee's sole cost and will be billed to Lessee by Lessor and will be due and payable within ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of an invoice therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will not be liable for work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs over the amount of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance unless Lessee has consented in writing to such work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs prior to the commencement of such work or the incurring of such excess costs. Any portion of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance remaining upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements shall be deemed forfeited by Lessee. Lessor further acknowledges and agrees that Section 4.07 of the Lease is hereby amended to provide that Lessee shall not be required to surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor "in the same condition as when received", but rather shall be entitled to surrender possession of the Premises in the same condition as exists upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements described in Paragraph 3 above, subject to any and all other requirements set forth in Section 4.07 of the Lease.
