In addition, Tenant’s entrance to the New Premises shall be directly in front of the elevators to achieve maximum elevator identification. Following this meeting, Landlord’s Architect will prepare initial schematic design documents and design development documents (the “Design Documents”) and submit to Tenant’s Representative, Tenant’s Consultant (if any) and Landlord for review and approval, whereupon Landlord, Tenant’s Representative and Tenant’s Consultant shall each provide its comments and feedback concerning the Design Documents to Landlord’s Architect within ten (10) business days following receipt thereof (the parties acknowledging that email delivery of Design Documents is deemed delivery for this purpose).

If Tenant’s Representative or Tenant’s Consultant do not attend such Inspections and/or attends such Inspections and do not raise any discrepancy to Landlord regarding the performance of the Landlord’s Work, then Tenant is deemed to have waived its right to object to the portion of the work that was included as part of the Inspection List.

condition substantially complete and ready for use and occupancy by Tenant. The New Premises shall be deemed substantially complete upon the occurrence of all of the following: (i) Landlord’s delivery to Tenant’s Representative and Tenant’s Consultant of self-certification letters by Landlord’s Architects and engineers certifying that the Landlord’s Work built pursuant to Tenant’s Plans and Specifications is substantially complete in accordance with industry standard and that Tenant can use all of the New Premises for the permitted uses therein; and only minor and insubstantial details of decoration and mechanical adjustment remain (subject to industry accepted Punch List items defined below); and (ii) the thorough and professional cleaning of the New Premises and corridor so that each are ready for Tenant’s use and occupancy; and (iii) walk-through of the New Premises by Landlord, Tenant’s Representative and Tenant’s Consultant confirming the substantial completion of the Landlord’s Work and identifying any punch list items of Landlord’s Work to be performed by Landlord following Tenant’s occupancy of the New Premises (a “Punch List”). The foregoing (i) through (iii) inclusive shall be deemed “Substantial Completion”. Landlord will provide fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Tenant’s Representative and Tenant’s Consultant of the estimated date of Substantial Completion and during such fifteen (15) day period, Landlord, Tenant’s Representative and Tenant’s Consultant will perform a walk-through of the New Premises for the purpose of establishing the Punch List.

Landlord shall perform Landlord’s New Premises Work and the Relocation Work at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, which the parties anticipate will be Two Hundred and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($200.00) per rentable square foot of the New Premises or Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand and 00/100 U.S. Dollars ($2,700,000.00) (the “Landlord’s Contribution”). The Landlord’s Contribution does not include sums necessary to perform the Landlord’s Corridor Work, which shall also be performed at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall apply the Landlord’s Contribution to all of the actual costs incurred as part of Landlord’s New Premises Work and Relocation Work as the same become due and payable (but not to the Landlord’s Corridor Work). If the actual costs of the Landlord’s New Premises Work and Relocation Work exceeds the Landlord’s Contribution, then Landlord shall nonetheless be obligated to bear the cost therefor unless the increase in costs is due to a change requested by Tenant in writing after Tenant’s final approval or deemed approval of the Tenant’s Plans and Specifications (the “Tenant’s Changes”) in which case

Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of the Tenant’s Changes. In order for Tenant to be responsible for the cost of the Tenant’s Changes, Tenant must approve the cost of said change in advance in writing to Landlord. Tenant shall pay the cost of the Tenant’s Changes within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s written request therefor.

Landlord and Tenant each agree to cause its consultants to cooperate and coordinate with each other to achieve the most efficient design and construction schedule necessary to achieve the common goals for all parties. Landlord agrees that in addition to the Landlord Contribution, Landlord will provide an allowance of up to One Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($100,000.00) to pay for the actual costs incurred for such Tenant’s Consultant as and when said costs become due and payable throughout the process (the “Consultant Allowance”). Landlord shall send written notice to Tenant if Landlord reasonably believes that the Tenant’s Consultant is causing unreasonable delay in the project schedule and Tenant shall have five (5) business days to correct the same.

If the actual costs of Landlord’s New Premises Work and Relocation Work as evidenced by final invoices by all of Landlord’s contractors, vendors, materialmen, agents, movers, architects and engineers is less than the Landlord’s Contribution, then Landlord shall pay the difference to Tenant in a lump sum payment within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s calculation of the actual costs (which shall be no later than thirty (30) days after the New Premises Commencement Date).

(i) Early Entry By Tenant. Landlord agrees to allow Tenant entry and access to the New Premises up to thirty (30) days prior to the date of the anticipated substantial completion of the New Premises for the purpose of Tenant’s installation of any items of personal property, furniture, fixtures and equipment, if any such items are to be installed by Tenant and not Landlord, at appropriate times as reasonably determined by Landlord.
