Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Landlord, the Contractor, and Landlord’s other consultants to provide any necessary approvals relating to the Work List, obtain the Permits, and complete the Tenant Improvement Work as soon as possible, and Tenant shall meet with Landlord, in accordance with a schedule determined by Landlord, to discuss the parties’ progress. Without limiting the foregoing, if (i) the Tenant Improvements include the installation of electrical connections for furniture stations to be installed by Tenant, and (ii) any electrical or other portions of such furniture stations must be installed in order for Landlord to obtain any governmental approval required for occupancy of the Premises, then (x) Tenant, upon five (5) business days’ notice from Landlord, shall promptly install such portions of such furniture stations in accordance with Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of the Lease, and (y) during the period of Tenant’s entry into the Premises for the purpose of performing such installation, all of Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement relating to the Premises shall apply, except for the obligation to pay Monthly Rent. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, if the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvement Work is delayed (for purposes of this Exhibit B, a “Tenant Delay”) as a result of (a) [Intentionally Omitted]; (b) [Intentionally Omitted]; (c) any failure of Tenant to timely approve any matter requiring Tenant’s approval; (d) any breach by

Tenant of this Suites 242 & 245 Work Letter or this Agreement; (e) any request by Tenant for any revision to, or for Landlord’s approval of any revision to, the Work List (except to the extent that such delay results from a breach by Landlord of its obligations under Section 2.7 above); (f) [Intentionally Omitted]; (g) [Intentionally Omitted]; or (h) 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.

This Suites 242 & 245 Work Letter shall not apply to any space other than the Premises.
