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.
Building Permits All building permits required for the construction of the Improvements have been obtained prior to the commencement of the construction of the Improvements and copies of same will be delivered to Lessor.
Tenant’s Plans (i) Tenant shall diligently pursue the preparation of all drawings, plans and specifications for Tenant Improvements in accordance with this Paragraph 2(b). All such plans, drawings and specifications shall be performed by an architect and/or engineer (as applicable) reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, and shall include the following: (i) a space plan for the Premises; (ii) complete architectural, engineering and other plans for the Tenant Improvements; and (iii) a list of tenant improvement building standards for interior design, including a schedule (e.g. color palate, material board and spec sheets) of all interior color and finishes. Items (ii) and (iii) above are collectively referred to herein as “Working Drawings”. The space plan and Working Drawings shall comply with all applicable regulations, laws, ordinances, codes and rules. Tenant shall submit its space plan to Landlord, for review and approval in Landlord’s sole discretion. Within ten (10) business days after such submission, Landlord shall either approve or disapprove the space plan. Tenant shall make any changes necessary in order to correct any item identified by Landlord as grounds for its disapproval, and shall resubmit the correct space plan to Landlord within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s disapproval. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord received the revised space plan, Landlord shall approve or disapprove it. This procedure shall be repeated until the space plan is finally approved by Landlord and written approval has been delivered to Tenant. If Landlord fails to approve or disapprove any submission within the required time period Landlord shall be deemed to have disapproved such submission. Landlord has approved the space plan for Building 2, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule 2 (the “Building 2 Space Plan”), subject to Landlord’s right to review and approve the Working Drawings, interior color and finishes, materials, specifications, and other items pursuant to Paragraph 2(b)(ii) and (iii) below, and further subject to compliance and conformance with the Minimum Specifications (as defined in Paragraph 2(b)(iii) below).
(ii) Within twenty-one (21) days after Landlord has finally approved Tenant’s space plan, Tenant shall submit its Working Drawings and a pallet of interior colors and finishes to Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval, in Landlord’s sole discretion. Landlord’s approval or disapproval of such Working Drawings and pallet, and Tenant’s response thereto, shall follow the procedure (including deemed disapproval) described in Subsection (i) above with respect to the space plan. All items finally approved by Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph 2(b) are referred to herein collectively as “Tenant’s Plans”. Once approved by Landlord, no changes shall be made to Tenant’s Plans without the prior written approval of Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion.
(iii) Landlord has established a partial list of Minimum Building Specifications for Building 2 (the “Minimum Specifications”) which is attached to this Exhibit as Schedule 1, for use in the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements, provided that the Minimum Specifications is not a complete list of products, specifications and finishes to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements and accordingly, Tenant shall cause to be described in the Working Drawings all products, specifications and finishes to be used in the construction of the Tenant Improvements which are not otherwise listed on, or which deviate from, the Minimum Specifications, all of which shall be subject to Landlord’s approval in Landlord’s sole discretion. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Landlord, the portion of the Tenant Improvements pertaining to the products, specifications and finishes specified in the Minimum Specifications shall comply with the Minimum Specifications.
Leasehold Improvements a. Tenant accepts the Premises “AS IS” without any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any alterations, repairs or improvements except as expressly set forth in this Lease. ADDITIONALLY, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE, LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PREMISES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF SUITABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY NEGATED AND WAIVED.
b. Tenant agrees that it will make no exterior or structural alterations or additions to the Premises nor post or attach or affix to the exterior of the Premises, any signs, air conditioners or other objects without memorializing such proposed alterations, attachments, or fixtures in a Tenant work letter (in form acceptable to Landlord) and obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent to same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to make interior, non-structural alterations to the Premises without Landlord’s consent, so long as such alterations do not (i) affect the structure or electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems of the Premises; or (ii) decrease the value of the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of such alterations or signs. Tenant shall have the right to install its trade fixtures and equipment in, upon and about the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall remove the same on or before the expiration of this Lease, and if so requested by Landlord, promptly after any termination of this Lease; and provided, further, that Tenant shall promptly thereafter repair all damage caused to the Premises by reason of such installation or removal.
c. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit), losses, liabilities, or causes of action arising out of or relating to any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant to the Premises, including, but not limited to, work not completed in a workmanlike manner and any contractor’s, mechanics’ or materialman’s liens asserted in connection therewith. This indemnification obligation shall survive the Term of this Lease.
d. Should any contractor’s, mechanic’s or other liens be filed against any portion of the Premises by reason of Tenant’s acts or omissions or because of a claim against Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled or discharged of record by bond or otherwise within thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to cancel or discharge said lien or liens, within said thirty (30) day period, Landlord may, at its sole option, cancel or discharge the same and upon Landlord’s demand, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs incurred in canceling or discharging such liens, including attorney fees in connection with same.
Exterior Signage Subject to the other party’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and provided all signs are in keeping with the quality, design and style of the Building and Project, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, may install (i) identification signage on the existing monument sign located on the exterior of the Building, and (ii) standard exterior signage on the Building entrance and Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may install (a) in location(s) on the exterior of the Building consistent with the signage installed by existing tenants (subject to Landlord’s prior written approval), and (b) internal directional and lobby identification signage (collectively, “Tenant Signage”); provided, however, in no event shall Tenant’s Signage include an “Objectionable Name,” as that term is defined in Section 23.3, of this Lease. All such signage shall be subject to Tenant’s obtaining all required governmental approvals. All permitted signs shall be maintained by Tenant at its expense in a first-class and safe condition and appearance. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of its signs at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, illumination, specifications and exact location of Tenant’s Signage (collectively, the “Sign Specifications”) shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be consistent and compatible with the quality and nature of the Project. Tenant hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s Signage, Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the probability of obtaining all necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant’s Signage. In the event Tenant does not receive the necessary governmental approvals and permits for Tenant’s Signage, Tenant’s and Landlord’s rights and obligations under the remaining terms and conditions of this Lease shall be unaffected. Except as required by applicable law, Landlord shall not install any other signage on the Building. If Landlord elects to install a multi-tenant identification sign at the entrance to the Project, Tenant shall be entitled to install its name on such sign (subject to availability on a pro-rata basis based on the relative square footages leased by the tenants of the Project), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall remove or cause to be removed all existing tenant signage from the Building and surrounding area on or before the Lease Commencement Date.
Lessee's Improvements Since Lessor is the Insuring Party, 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.
ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS Tenant shall make no alterations to the buildings or improvements on the Premises or construct any building or make any other improvements on the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any and all alterations, changes, and/or improvements built, constructed or placed on the Premises by Tenant shall, unless otherwise provided by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, be and become the property of Landlord and remain on the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
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.
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.
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.
