For purposes of clarity, if Tenant fails to timely pay for its New Premises Parking Rights, such failure shall not permit Landlord to terminate Tenant’s parking rights otherwise set forth in the Lease for which Tenant is not required to pay a parking fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, provided Tenant is not in Default under the Lease (as amended by this Amendment) beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord shall xxxxx the parking fees due under this Amendment (x) for the Third Floor Premises Parking Rights, for the period commencing on the Third Floor Premises Rent Commencement Date and ending on April 30, 2021, (y) for the Fifth Expansion Premises Parking Rights, for the period commencing on the Fifth Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date and ending on November 30, 2021, and (z) for the 5 Spaces during the first twelve (12) months that the 5 Spaces are made available for Tenant’s use.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no more than twenty percent (20%) of the Construction Allowance may be utilized for soft costs in connection with the Fifth Expansion Premises Work (including, but not limited to, architectural and engineering services, signage, construction management and specialty consultant fees, cabling and wiring, and moving costs). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no more than fifteen (15%) percent of the Construction Allowance may be utilized for the costs of furniture, fixtures, and equipment.

In the event Tenant desires that a representative of Landlord participate in Tenant’s weekly construction progress meetings, the parties shall reasonably cooperate in scheduling the meetings and Landlord shall cause its representative to participate in such meetings, which participation may be telephonic. The Construction Allowance shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(c) below. Despite the foregoing, Tenant shall pay all costs of performing the Fifth Expansion Premises Work that are in excess of the Construction Allowance.
(c) Periodically (but not more often than once per calendar month), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an invoice from contractors or materialmen who have supplied labor or materials for the Fifth Expansion Premises Work for which disbursement is then being requested.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event that Landlord fails to timely make a disbursement of the Construction Allowance, and such disbursement (or portion thereof) is not subject to a legitimate good-faith dispute by Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to offset the subject disbursement of the Construction Allowance against the Rent next payable by Tenant under the Lease (after the rent abatement period set forth in the Amendment); provided, however, that Tenant first provides Landlord with an additional notice which shall set forth in bold capital letters the following statement: “IF LANDLORD FAILS TO DISBURSE FUNDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION ALLOWANCE WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THEN TENANT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO OFFSET THE SUBJECT DISBURSEMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION ALLOWANCE AGAINST RENT” and such failure by Landlord to make such disbursement of the Construction Allowance continues for more than ten (10) days after Landlord receives such additional notice. The foregoing provision shall be deemed null and void and shall be deemed deleted from this Amendment upon the full disbursement of the Construction Allowance as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event however shall Tenant offset an amount more than twenty percent (20%) of the payment due to Landlord, but Tenant may carry forward any excess to apply toward future payments until fully applied.

Copies of all building permits/occupancy permits are to be forwarded to Landlord. The Construction Allowance may be used by Tenant to comply with requirements of this Section 11.
12. Contractor Insurance. Tenant’s general contractor shall be required to provide the following types of insurance:
(a) Builder’s Risk Insurance. At all times during the period between the commencement of construction of the Fifth Expansion Premises Work and the date on which Tenant opens the Fifth Expansion Premises for business with the public with a valid certificate of occupancy in place, Tenant shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, casualty insurance in Builder’s Risk Form covering Landlord, Landlord’s architects, Landlord’s contractor or subcontractors, Tenant and Tenant’s contractors, as their interest may appear, against loss or damage by fire, vandalism, and malicious mischief and other such risks as are customarily covered by the so-called “broad form extended coverage endorsement” upon all Fifth Expansion Premises Work in place and all materials stored at the site of the Fifth Expansion Premises Work, and all materials, equipment, supplies and temporary structures of all kinds incident to the Fifth Expansion Premises Work and builder’s machinery, tools and equipment, all while forming a part of, or on the Fifth Expansion Premises, or when adjacent thereto, while on drives, sidewalks, streets or alleys, all on a completed value basis for the full insurable value at all times. Said Builder’s Risk Insurance shall contain an express waiver of any right of subrogation by the insurer against Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors.
(b) Worker’s Compensation. At all times during the period of construction of the Fifth Expansion Premises Work, in addition to the insurance requirements under Section 15(c) of the Original Lease, Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall maintain in effect statutory worker’s compensation as required by the jurisdiction in which the Building is located.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 12 shall be applicable to the making of any Alterations to the Existing Premises and/or the Fifth Expansion Premises.
13. Contractor Liability. Tenant assumes the responsibility and liability for any and all injuries or death of any or all persons, including Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors, and their respective employees, and for any and all damages to property caused by, or resulting from or arising out of any act or omission on the part of Tenant in connection with the Fifth Expansion Premises Work. Tenant’s contractors or subcontractors, in the prosecution of the Fifth Expansion Premises Work, and with respect to such work, agree to indemnify and save free and harmless Landlord from and against all losses and/or expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses which they may suffer or pay as the result of claims or lawsuits due to, because of, or arising out of any and all such injuries or death and/or damage, whether real or alleged; and Tenant and Tenant’s contractors and/or subcontractors or their respective insurance companies shall assume and defend at their own expense all such claims or lawsuits. Tenant agrees to insure this assumed liability in its policy of Broad Form Commercial General Liability insurance and the certificate of insurance or copy of the policy that Tenant will present to Landlord shall so indicate such contractual coverage.
14. Coordination. The Fifth Expansion Premises Work shall be coordinated with any other work being performed by Landlord and other tenants in the Building so that the Fifth Expansion Premises Work will not unreasonably interfere with or delay the completion of any other construction work in the Building.
15. Loads. No item shall be mounted on or hung from the interior or exterior of the Building by Tenant without Landlord’s prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed if mounted inside the Fifth Expansion Premises. If Tenant desires to mount or hang anything, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the loads involved and shall pay all costs involved (subject to application of the Construction Allowance as permitted by this Exhibit B).
16. Ducts. Tenant shall permit Landlord or its agent to install, maintain, repair and replace in the ceiling space and/or under the concrete slab, adjacent to demising partitions and free standing columns, electrical, water or other lines and/or ducts that may be required to serve the common areas or others in the Building.
17. Contractor Responsibilities. As between Landlord and Tenant, it shall be Tenant’s responsibility to cause each of Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors to:
(a) Maintain continuous protection of any premises adjacent to the Fifth Expansion Premises in such a manner (including the use of lights, guardrails, barricades and dust-proof partitions where required) as to prevent any damage to the Building or any adjacent premises by reason of the performance of the Fifth Expansion Premises Work.
Page 9
(b) Secure all parts of the Fifth Expansion Premises Work against accident, storm, and any other hazard. However, no barricades or other protective device shall extend more than two (2) feet beyond the Fifth Expansion Premises. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant’s barricade or other protective device, if any, shall be attractive in appearance, shall extend across the frontage and full height of the Fifth Expansion Premises and shall be of materials approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
(c) Comply strictly with the Rules and Regulations and Procedures set forth in Exhibit A Schedule I, and Tenant agrees to be responsible for any violations thereof. Remove and dispose of, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, at least daily and more frequently as Landlord may reasonably direct, all debris and rubbish caused by or resulting from the Fifth Expansion Premises Work, and upon completion, to remove all temporary structures, surplus materials, debris and rubbish of whatever kind remaining on any part of the Building or in proximity thereto which was brought in or created in the performance of the Fifth Expansion Premises Work (including stocking refuse). If at any time Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall neglect, refuse or fail to remove any debris, rubbish, surplus materials, or temporary structures in accordance with this paragraph, Landlord at its sole option may remove the same at Tenant’s expense without prior notice.
(d) Use only the Fifth Expansion Premises for the performance of the Fifth Expansion Premises Work. Entry into areas unrelated to the performance of the Fifth Expansion Premises Work is prohibited.
(e) Warrants that the work done by it will be free from any defects in workmanship and materials for a period of not less than one (1) year from the date of completion thereof, except for those inherent in the quality of the Fifth Expansion Premises Work that the Final Construction Drawings require or permit. Tenant shall also require that any such contractors and subcontractors shall be responsible for the replacement or repair without charge for any and all work done or furnished by or through such contractors or subcontractors which becomes defective within one (1) year after completion; provided, however, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant elects to perform the required replacement or repair. The contractor’s warranty may exclude remedy for damage or defect caused by abuse, alterations to the Fifth Expansion Premises Work not executed by the contractor, improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation, or normal wear and tear and normal usage. Replacement or repair of such work shall include, without charge, all expenses and damages in connection with such removal, replacement, or repair of all or any part of such work, or any part of the Building which may have been damaged or disturbed thereby. All warranties or guarantees in connection with the Fifth Expansion Premises Work (to the extent such warranties or guarantees are for items which are to remain the property of Landlord following the expiration of the term of the Lease or earlier termination of the Lease) shall be contained in the contract or subcontract, which shall provide that said guarantees or warranties either shall be issued in the name of Tenant and Landlord, or shall be transferable to Tenant and Landlord. Tenant covenants to give to Landlord any commercially reasonable assignment or other assurance necessary to provide a right of direct enforcement.

EXHIBIT “A”
SCHEDULE I
The following are rules and procedures to be followed by contractors when working in or around the Fifth Expansion Premises or Building:
1. Provide a trash can with a lid to dispose of lunches and food. Trash must not be allowed to accrue in the open lease spaces. This is to avoid fire and rodent hazards.
2. Access into spaces under construction must be limited to one door. If an unfinished lease space has two doors, one must be locked. Passage can occur through the door most convenient to the freight elevator and should have a temporary foot mat.
3. No access to the Building’s interior lobby or corridors will be permitted at any time.
4. All unused entry doors to vacant areas must be closed at all times and locked.
5. Construction employees must conduct themselves as mature gentlemen and ladies when working in tenant occupied spaces and all public spaces.
6. Loud radios are prohibited in all work areas.
7. Noisy operations such as chopping, etc. are to be done after hours, unless prior consent is given.
8. All work performed outside of normal working hours must be coordinated with the Building manager for security reasons. No one will be allowed access without prior permission.
9. Every effort must be made to avoid unreasonable disturbance of any other tenant’s normal business operations. Punch list corrections must be performed only with the Tenant’s permission, in advance. If an operation underway is unreasonably disturbing a tenant of the Building, it must be discontinued immediately and performed outside of normal business hours.
