WORK LETTER AGREEMENT

[Tenant Constructed Improvements]

 

Tenant’s improvements for Suite 300 (the “Tenant’s Work”) shall be constructed in accordance with the terms set forth below:

 

  1. Tenant’s Work shall be constructed in accordance with Section 14 of the Lease, provided that Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s plans shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall coordinate permits, use of hoists, utilities, etc., and Tenant shall pay Landlord a construction management fee of five percent (5%) of the cost of construction. Tenant shall instruct Tenant’s contractor to comply with Landlord’s rules and regulations for performing construction work in the Building. Landlord shall be entitled to post notices of non-responsibility prior to the commencement of the Tenant’s Work, and Tenant shall notify its contractor that the work is being performed on behalf of Tenant and not on behalf of Landlord.

 

  2. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a tenant improvement allowance of up to Eighty Four Thousand One Hundred Seventy Five Dollars ($84,175) (the “T.I. Allowance”) for Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket expenses paid to unaffiliated third parties for design and construction of permanent tenant improvements to the Premises. The T.I. Allowance shall not be applicable to the cost of design, construction or purchase of furniture, supplies, artwork, trade fixtures or other equipment. Any portion of the T.I. Allowance not used in the construction of Tenant’s initial improvements shall be retained by Landlord. [Are these exclusions to the use of the T.I. Allowance acceptable to Corus Pharma?]

 

  3. The T.I. Allowance shall be payable within thirty (30) days after completion of all work (excepting only punch list work) and invoice by Tenant, which invoice shall contain back up reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and lien releases or conditional lien releases from Tenant’s contractor(s) and their subcontractors and suppliers. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has no obligation to inspect or approve the work, and that Landlord’s approval of draw requests does not constitute any representation by Landlord that the work has been performed or is in accordance with the contract documents.

 

  4. Any costs incurred by Tenant that do not qualify for or are in excess of the T.I. Allowance shall be paid by Tenant as and when due. Before commencing any improvements to the Premises that are to be funded in whole or in part with the T.I. Allowance, Tenant shall obtain a bid or estimate of the cost of such work and shall provide a copy of such bid or estimate to Landlord. If the bid or estimate is in excess of the available T.I. Allowance, then each draw request shall be prorated in the ratio that the T.I. Allowance bears to the total bid or estimate, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying (at each draw) the difference between the T.I. Allowance as so funded and the contractor’s invoice.
