Landlord’s Election If Tenant desires to assign its interest under the Lease or to sublet all or part of the Leased Premises (a “Proposed Transfer”), Tenant must first notify Landlord, in writing, of such Proposed Transfer, at least fifteen (15) business days in advance of the date it intends to close the Proposed Transfer, specifying (a) the size of the space to be so transferred, (b) the duration of the term of such Proposed Transfer and (c) the terms of the Proposed Transfer, including the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s intended use of the Leased Premises, current financial statements (including a balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) of such proposed assignee or sublessee, the form of documents to be used in effectuating such assignment or subletting and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have a period of fifteen (15) business days following receipt of such notice and the required information to consent or decline to consent to the Proposed Transfer. If Landlord does not respond within such fifteen (15) business day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Proposed Transfer. If Landlord declines to consent to the Proposed Transfer, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing, specifying the reasons under this Lease that such refusal is justified. During such fifteen (15) business day period, Tenant covenants and agrees to supply to Landlord, promptly upon request, all necessary or relevant information which Landlord may reasonably request respecting such proposed assignment or subletting and/or the proposed assignee or sublessee.
Landlord Delay Landlord’s (a) failure to comply with any time requirements expressly set forth in Paragraph 2.d. above with respect to Landlord’s obligation to provide notice of approval or disapproval of the Space Plan, Working Drawings or Change Orders, or (b) Landlord’s unreasonable interference with the completion of Tenant Improvements, including any failure or refusal of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or contractors to permit Tenant, its agents or contractors, access to and use of the Building or any Building facilities or services (including hoists, elevators, and loading docks) which access or use is reasonably required for the orderly and continuous performance of the work necessary to complete Tenant Improvements, are referred to collectively herein as “Landlord Delay” (provided that no Landlord Delay as described in clause (b) above will be deemed to have occurred unless and until Tenant has notified Landlord of the event which Tenant claims constitutes a Landlord Delay and Landlord has failed to cure such event within five (5) Business Days thereafter). Tenant will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages and/or construction delays in the event of an alleged Landlord Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 2, if and to the extent Tenant reasonably incurs a net increased cost (taking into account any cost saving Landlord might have facilitated by its actions, including any Landlord Delay) of design or construction of the Tenant Improvements as a direct result of any Landlord Delay (as reasonably evidenced by Tenant, with supporting documentation), Landlord will be responsible for such reasonable increased costs and Landlord’s Allowance will be increased by the amount of such reasonable increased cost. Further, when determining whether a particular Landlord Delay delayed Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, the subject Landlord Delay shall be offset by any action or response by Landlord that achieved a reduction in Tenant’s construction schedule (each day saved in Tenant’s construction schedule being a “Schedule Saving Day”) and any aggregate Landlord Delay as described in this Paragraph 2.f. shall first be offset against, and reduced on a day-for-day basis by, the aggregate number of Schedule Saving Days. In the event of a disagreement between Landlord and Tenant as to whether a Landlord Delay has occurred and/or as to the application of this grammatical paragraph, either party may submit the issue to the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Paragraph 2.j. below. This Paragraph 2.f. is inapplicable to delays in Delivery, whether caused by Landlord, Landlord’s Contractor or otherwise (such delays being expressly covered by Paragraph 2.a. above) and this Paragraph 2.f. only applies to delays in the commencement or Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements following Delivery.
Landlord’s Consent to Alterations Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may adversely affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment in more than a de minimis manner (e.g., the mere tying into Systems shall not be subject to the sole discretion standard) or which can be seen from outside the Building. Tenant shall pay (i) for Alterations performed by Tenant, Landlord’s reasonable third-party costs incurred in connection with reviewing such Alterations, and (ii) for Alterations for which Tenant has engaged Landlord to supervise and Landlord’s contractors to perform, a supervision fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the total cost of such Alteration (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing supervisory fee shall not be due or payable in connection with the Tenant Improvements and the Vivarium improvements and no supervisory fee shall be due or payable in connection with any capital improvements performed by Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Landlord approval shall be required (provided advance notice shall be provided to Landlord) for (a) installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to the Systems, (b) Alterations which could not reasonably be expected to affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment and which cost less than $150,000 for any one (1) job and no more than $300,000 in the aggregate in any calendar year during the Lease Term (excluding any costs for painting, carpeting, and similar purely cosmetic work), (c) Alterations which do not require a building permit, and (d) merely cosmetic work (such as painting and carpeting). The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
Landlord’s Termination Right Whether or not the Premises are affected, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, within 60 days following the date upon which Landlord receives notice of the Taking of all or a portion of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises, terminate this Lease, provided that Landlord elects to terminate leases (including this Lease) affecting at least 50% of the rentable area of the Building.
Landlord’s Contribution Landlord shall, in the manner hereinafter set forth, contribute the lesser of (i) the actual cost of Tenant’s Work or (ii) $1,698,800.00 (calculated on the basis of $40.00 per rentable square foot of the Relocation Premises) (“Landlord’s Contribution”) towards the costs of designing and constructing Tenant’s Work. 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.
Tenant Delay If the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvement Work is delayed (a “Tenant Delay”) as a result of (a) any failure of Tenant to approve the Construction Pricing Proposal pursuant to Section 2.6 above on or before Tenant’s Approval Deadline; (b) Tenant’s failure to timely approve any matter requiring Tenant’s approval; (c) any breach by Tenant of this Work Letter or the Lease; (d) any request by Tenant for a revision to the Approved Construction Drawings (except to the extent such delay results from any failure of Landlord to perform its obligations under Section 2.7 above); (e) Tenant’s requirement for materials, components, finishes or improvements that are not available in a commercially reasonable time given the anticipated date of Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvement Work as set forth in this Agreement; (f) any change to the base, shell or core of the Premises or Building required by the Approved Construction Drawings; or (g) any other act or omission of Tenant or any of its agents, employees or representatives, then, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, and regardless of when the Tenant Improvement Work is actually Substantially Completed, the Tenant Improvement Work shall be deemed to be Substantially Completed on the date on which the Tenant Improvement Work would have been Substantially Completed if no such Tenant Delay had occurred.
Landlord’s Work Landlord shall construct the base-building elements of the Building (the "Base Building Work"), the sitework on the Land, and the parking structure and surface parking areas on the Land, all in accordance with the Design Specifications attached hereto as Schedule I (collectively, "Landlord's Work"). All of Landlord's Work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with plans and specifications ("Landlord's Plans") mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant's approval of Landlord's Plans shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Tenant shall not be entitled to condition its approval of Landlord's Plans upon the inclusion therein of any design specifications that are inconsistent with the Design Specifications attached hereto as Schedule I (including requiring a higher performance standard than any performance standard expressly set forth in Schedule I). Tenant shall respond to any request for approval of Landlord's Plans, or any portion or progress set thereof, or any modifications thereto, as promptly as reasonably possible and in any event within ten (10) business days in the case of the original complete set of Landlord's Plans and any structural modifications thereto and within two (2) business days in the case of any nonstructural modifications to Landlord's Plans, and Tenant's failure to respond within such time periods shall be referred to herein and in the Lease as a "Tenant Delay." In the event Tenant disapproves Landlord's Plans or any portion thereof or any modifications thereto, Tenant's notice of disapproval shall specify in detail the reasonable basis for such disapproval. Landlord shall promptly make such revisions to Landlord's Plans as may be necessary to address Tenant's reasonable objections, and shall resubmit Landlord's Plans to Tenant for Tenant's approval. Tenant shall review such revised plans as promptly as reasonably possible and notify Landlord whether Tenant approves or reasonably disapproves Landlord's Plans as modified. This process shall be repeated, if necessary, until Tenant's reasonable objections to Landlord's Plans have been addressed and Tenant has approved Landlord's Plans. After approval of Landlord's Plans, Tenant shall have the right to initiate changes to Landlord's Plans or Landlord's Work, subject to (i) Landlord's approval of any such proposed change, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) Landlord's and Tenant's mutual agreement concerning (and execution of a change order or other written confirmation of) (A) any net increase in design or construction costs resulting from such change, all of which increased costs shall be borne solely by Tenant, and (B) any delay such change will cause in the completion of Landlord's Work or the achievement of any milestone date(s), which delay shall not extend the Lease Commencement Date or the commencement of Tenant's rental obligations under the Lease (but shall appropriately extend any affected milestone date(s)) and shall be deemed a "Tenant Delay" for purposes hereof and of the Lease. Landlord shall be responsible for causing Landlord's Work to comply with all applicable legal requirements, including (without limitation) requirements of building codes, environmental laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Landlord shall indemnify Tenant and hold it harmless with respect to any loss, cost, damage or liability resulting from Landlord's breach of this obligation (which indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease). In constructing the Base Building Work, Landlord shall perform and install all work and materials designated "Base Building" in Schedule II attached hereto. In performing the Base Building Work, Landlord shall use best efforts to achieve the milestone dates set forth in Schedule III attached hereto. In the event Landlord fails to achieve any of said milestone dates, except to the extent such failure is caused by any Tenant Delay, the December 29, 1995 date set forth in Section 3.2 of the Lease shall be extended by one (1) day for each day of delay in achieving the milestone date; provided, however, that such extension shall not occur if (and then only to the extent) Landlord and Tenant mutually agree and acknowledge in writing that the completion of the Tenant Work (as defined below) was not delayed by reason of the delay in achieving Landlord's milestone date. Tenant agrees to use good faith reasonable efforts to counter the effect of any delay by Landlord in achieving any milestone date; however, Tenant shall not be obligated to expend any additional amounts in such efforts (e.g., by employing overtime labor) unless Landlord agrees in advance to bear any incremental cost associated with such efforts (whether or not such efforts are ultimately successful).
Tenant’s Termination Right If the part of the Buildings or the Real Property so acquired or condemned contains a substantial part of the total area of the portion of the Premises located in such Building immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation, or if, by reason of such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises, Tenant may terminate this Lease as to such portion of the Premises by notice to Landlord given within 60 days following the date upon which Tenant received notice of such acquisition or condemnation; provided, however, that if the portion of the Premises so affected shall be the Music Hall, then Tenant’s right of termination shall apply to the whole of the Premises. Furthermore, if by virtue of the nature of the space in the Music Hall which is acquired or condemned, the space remaining in the Music Hall after giving effect to such acquisition or condemnation cannot economically be used for its intended purpose, following the date upon which Tenant received notice of such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall terminate and the Term shall end and expire upon the date set forth in the notice as to the portion of the Premises covered thereby, which date shall not be more than 30 days following the giving of such notice. If a part of the Premises shall be so acquired or condemned and this Lease and the Term shall not be terminated in accordance with this Section, Landlord, at Landlord’s expense but without requiring Landlord to spend more than it collects as an award, shall, subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, restore such portion of the Premises not so acquired or condemned to a self-contained unit substantially equivalent (with respect to character, quality, appearance and services) to that which existed immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation, to the extent commercially practicable to do so, in which case Tenant shall be obligated to restore Tenant’s Property relating to such portion of the Premises to the condition which existed immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation.
Landlord’s Consent Required Subject to the remaining provisions of this Article 11, but notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall not assign, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease (either absolutely or collaterally) or sublease or allow any third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limitation, Tenant agrees that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (1) the proposed transferee’s financial condition does not meet the criteria Landlord uses to select Building tenants having similar leasehold obligations; (2) the proposed transferee is a governmental organization or present occupant of the Property, or Landlord is otherwise engaged in lease negotiations with the proposed transferee for other premises in the Property; (3) any uncured event of default exists under this Lease (or a condition exists which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would become an event of default); (4) any portion of the Building or Premises would likely become subject to additional or different Laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer; (5) the proposed transferee’s use of the Premises conflicts with the Permitted Use or any exclusive usage rights granted to any other tenant in the Building; (6) the use, nature, business, activities or reputation in the business community of the proposed transferee (or its principals, employees or invitees) does not meet Landlord’s standards for Building tenants; (7) either the Transfer or any consideration payable to Landlord in connection therewith adversely affects the real estate investment trust qualification tests applicable to Landlord or its Affiliates; or (8) the proposed transferee is or has been involved in litigation with Landlord or any of its Affiliates. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive monetary damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to a proposed Transfer and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action to enforce any such provision through specific performance or declaratory judgment. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Article is voidable at Landlord’s option.
Tenant Estoppel If a Tenant Estoppel is delivered by Sellers to Buyer, Buyer may nevertheless disapprove such Tenant Estoppel if and only if it does not contain such items as are required to be given in connection with an estoppel certificate pursuant to the Tenant’s Lease, or contains allegations of an uncured material default by a Seller or contains information that materially deviates from the facts and financial information contained in the Offering Memorandum, the Due Diligence Materials or in this Agreement. If Sellers are unable to obtain Tenant Estoppels from a sufficient number of Tenants to satisfy the ********** ******* (***) *********** set forth in this Section 7.2(b) on or before the Closing Date (or have not delivered Tenant Estoppels from the Required Tenants), then the Closing Date for any applicable Portfolio shall be adjourned for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days for Sellers to obtain the sufficient number of Tenant Estoppels (or Estoppel Certificates from the Required Tenants, as the case may be). In addition, if Sellers are unable to obtain Tenant Estoppels from a sufficient number of Tenants to satisfy the ********** ******* (***) *********** set forth in this Section 7.2(b) on or before the Closing Date (as may be extended hereunder), an individual Seller shall have the right to elect to execute and deliver to Buyer a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P attached hereto (each such certificate, a “Seller’s Estoppel”) with respect to such additional lease(s) at such individual Seller’s Building and selected by Seller as would satisfy the requirement; provided, however, that an individual Seller shall not have the right to deliver a Seller’s Estoppel in lieu of Tenant Estoppels from Required Tenants. In the event that an individual Seller elects to deliver such a Seller’s Estoppel, each statement therein made by such Seller shall constitute warranties and representations by such Seller hereunder which shall survive for a period terminating on the earlier of (i) December 28, 2006, or (ii) the date on which Buyer has received an executed Tenant Estoppel signed by the applicable Tenant under the Lease in question that is not inconsistent with Seller’s Estoppel. With respect to the rentable area of the Buildings leased to the GSA, each individual Seller shall, as applicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a supplemental lease agreement, novation agreement, statement of lease or similar instrument delivered by the GSA (a “GSA Estoppel”) for Leases to the GSA in excess of 10,000 rentable square feet (a “Material GSA Lease”); provided, however, the delivery of a GSA Estoppel shall not be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated hereunder; provided, further that Sellers shall execute and deliver to Buyer a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P attached hereto (each such certificate, a “Seller’s GSA Estoppel”) with respect to all Material GSA Leases at such individual Seller’s Building. In the event that an individual Seller elects to deliver such a Seller’s GSA Estoppel, each statement therein made by such Seller shall constitute warranties and representations by such Seller hereunder which shall survive for a period terminating on the earlier of (i) December 28, 2006, or (ii) the date on which Buyer has received an executed GSA Estoppel signed by the GSA under the Material GSA Lease in question.
