ARTICLE 3 - TERM AND POSSESSION

3.01 Term.

This Lease shall be and will continue in full force and effect for the term set forth in Subsection 2.01(g). Subject to the remaining provisions of this Article, the Term shall commence on the Target Commencement Date shown in Subsection 2.01(h) and shall expire, without notice to Tenant, on the Target Expiration Date shown in Subsection 2.01(h); provided, however, that if the Commencement Date is other than the first (1st) day of the month, the Expiration Date shall nevertheless be the last day of the last month of the Term. Such term, as it may be modified, renewed and extended, pursuant to Exhibit G or by other written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, is herein called the “Term”.

3.02 Commencement.

(a) Subject to Section 3.03 hereof, if on the Target Commencement Date any of the work described in Exhibit C that is required to be performed by Landlord at Landlord’s expense to prepare the Leased Premises for occupancy has not been substantially completed, or if Landlord is unable to tender possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant on the specified date due to any other reason beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, the hereinafter defined Commencement Date (and commencement of installments of Base Rent) shall be postponed until the work to be performed in the Leased Premises at Landlord’s expense is substantially completed, and the postponement shall operate to extend the Expiration Date in order to give full effect to the stated duration of the Term.

(b) Provided Tenant signs and delivers this Lease to Landlord on or before December 14, 2016, if the Commencement Date is postponed beyond June 1, 2017, because the Leased Premises are not substantially complete due only to Landlord delays, Tenant has the right to the abatement of Base Rent one (1) day for each day that the Commencement Date is delayed beyond June 1, 2017. If the Leased Premises are not substantially complete on or before September 1, 2017, due only to delays caused by Landlord, Tenant may terminate this Lease, by giving Landlord notice of its intent to do so on or before September 10, 2017, and so long as the Leased Premises are not substantially complete prior to the date notice is given. If Tenant does not provide notice on or before September 10, 2017, Tenant has waived its right to terminate this Lease in accordance with this provision. The Leased Premises shall be deemed to be substantially complete the day after (i) the date that Landlord substantially completes all of the Tenant Improvements described on Exhibit C other than minor details of construction, mechanical adjustment or any other similar matter typically referred to as “punch list” items, the non-completion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises (and which shall be completed by Landlord within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date) and (ii) inspection and approval for occupancy for the intended use, whether permanent, conditional, or temporary, by the issuing municipality in North Carolina where the Leased Premises are located, provided the approval is subsequently evidenced by a certificate of occupancy, whether permanent, conditional, or temporary, issued by the municipality. The certificate of occupancy may be dated as of the date that it is actually processed by the municipality, rather than the date of the inspection and approval for occupancy.

(c) The deferment of installments of Base Rent created by the delay in the Rent Commencement Date and the right to terminate as provided above are Tenant’s exclusive remedies for postponement of the Commencement Date, and Tenant has no, and waives any, claim against Landlord because of delay.

 

3


3.03 Tenant’s Delay.

No delay in the completion of the Leased Premises resulting from delay or failure on the part of Tenant in furnishing information or other matters required in Exhibit C, and no delay resulting from any cause set forth in Paragraph 7 of Exhibit C, shall delay the Commencement Date, Expiration Date or commencement of payment of Rent (as defined in Subsection 4.02 below).

3.04 Tenant’s Possession.

(a) If, prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall enter into possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises for the conduct of its business, the Term, the payment of monthly installments of Base Rent and all other obligations of Tenant to be performed during the Term shall commence on, and the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be, the date of such entry; provided, no such early entry shall operate to change the Expiration Date.

(b) Effective as of the later of (i) January 1, 2017 or (ii) the day after Landlord receives a permit for the Tenant Improvements (defined in Exhibit C), Tenant is granted a license to occupy and use the approximately 2,655 square feet of space on the fourteenth (14th) floor not contained in the Leased Premises (the “Temporary Premises”, as shown on the attached Exhibit A-3) free of charge while Landlord completes the Tenant Improvements. Tenant’s right to use the Temporary Premises is conditioned upon Tenant and Landlord conducting a “walk through” of the space and documenting its condition prior to Tenant’s occupancy. Tenant will take the Temporary Premises “as is”. Tenant must vacate the Temporary Premises, and return the Temporary Premises in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and the license expires one day after substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements. If Tenant fails to vacate the Temporary Premises when required, Tenant shall pay Rent on its use of the Temporary Premises equal to 200% of the annual per square foot rate being charged for the Leased Premises. The terms of this Lease, except the obligation to pay Base Rent, applies to Tenant’s use of the Temporary Premises. Prior to Tenant’s entry into the Temporary Premises, Tenant must establish that it has obtained the insurance required and is in compliance with Section 8.04 of this Lease.

3.05 Confirmation of Dates.

Tenant shall confirm its acceptance of the Leased Premises by execution of the Acceptance of Leased Premises Memorandum attached hereto as Exhibit B. If either the actual commencement date (“Commencement Date”) or actual expiration date (“Expiration Date”) are different from the Target Commencement Date and the Target Expiration Date, respectively, as set forth in Subsection 2.01(h), Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease setting forth such actual dates. If such amendment is not executed, the Commencement Date and Expiration Date shall be conclusively deemed to be the Target Commencement Date and the Target Expiration Date set forth in Subsection 2.01(h).

3.06 Holdover.

If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease without the execution of a new lease or an amendment to this Lease extending the Term, Tenant shall become a tenant-at-sufferance, and for a period of sixty (60) calendar days after such termination or expiration, as the case may be, shall pay daily rent at one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the per day Rent (as defined in Section 4.02) payable with respect to the last full calendar month immediately prior to the end of the Term or termination of this

 

4


Lease, but otherwise shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease, and such tenancy may be terminated at any time on seven (7) calendar days’ prior notice. After such sixty (60) day period Tenant shall continue to be a tenant-at-sufferance, terminable on one (1) day’s notice, and shall pay daily rent at double the per day Rent payable with respect to the last full calendar month immediately prior to the end of the Term or termination of this Lease, but otherwise shall be subject to all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord (i) against all claims for damages by any other tenant to whom Landlord may have leased all or any part of the Leased Premises effective upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, and (ii) for all other losses, costs and expenses, including consequential damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees, sustained or incurred by reason of such holding over. In the event of any holdover and failure of Tenant to pay the holdover rent set forth herein, Landlord shall have the right to immediately apply the Security (defined and set forth in Section 4.06) to the Rent, at the holdover rate set forth herein, for as many days as would be represented by the amount of the Security. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. This provision shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 4 - RENT AND SECURITY FOR THE LEASE

4.01 Base Rent.

Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord rent (“Base Rent”) throughout the Term in the amount of the Annual Base Rent set forth in Subsection 2.01(d). Base Rent shall be payable in monthly installments in the amount set forth in Subsection 2.01(d) (“Monthly Base Rent”) in advance and without demand, deduction or offset, on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, Tenant shall be required to pay on the Commencement Date a pro rata portion of the Monthly Base Rent for the first partial month of the Term, and any references to “month” shall refer to full month(s) of the Term. Base Rent is abated for the first four (4) full months of the Term, as shown in the chart in Subsection 2.01(d). Tenant’s right to abated Base Rent is conditioned upon it not being in monetary default beyond any applicable notice and cure period. Landlord will amortize the abated Base Rent over the Term on a straight line basis. If monetary default occurs beyond any applicable notice and cure period, the unamortized portion of the abated Base Rent will be owed and immediately due and payable by Tenant.

4.02 Payment of Rent.

(a) As used in this Lease, “Rent” means Base Rent, Additional Rent (defined below), late charges, and all other amounts required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

(b) Rent must be paid by electronic transfer (intrabank transfer, ACH or wire transfer). Tenant must provide Landlord with notice when it makes a transfer as a Rent payment. Electronic mail may be used to provide notice of the transfer. If electronic mail is used for transfer notices, the email address to use is: ***@*** or another address as provided by Landlord. The notice must provide information regarding the transfer, including the amount, date and details for the transfer (for example, rent, electricity, etc.), so that the funds can be applied appropriately. Landlord is not responsible for any default that may occur if a transfer is made without adequate notice from Tenant.

 

5


(c) Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent is independent of any obligation of Landlord under this Lease. Rent is to be paid without Landlord notice, demand, abatement, deduction or offset except as is expressly allowed in this Lease.

4.03 Additional Rent.

The term “Additional Rent” shall mean the total of the “Operating Expense Adjustment”, as such term is defined below, and any other amounts in addition to Base Rent which Tenant is required to pay to Landlord under this Lease.

4.04 Operating Expense Adjustment.

Commencing January 1, 2018, if the Operating Expenses (defined below) for the Building for any calendar year, expressed on a per square foot basis, exceed the Base Operating Expense Factor specified in Subsection 2.01(e), Tenant shall pay to Landlord increased Rent (an “Operating Expense Adjustment”) in an amount equal to the product of such excess times the square feet of the Leased Premises as stated in Subsection 2.01(b). The Operating Expense Adjustment shall be payable in monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month based on Landlord’s good faith estimate of the Operating Expenses for the then current year. Landlord may at any time give Tenant notice specifying Landlord’s estimate of the Operating Expenses for the then current calendar year or the subsequent calendar year and specifying the Operating Expense Adjustment to be paid by Tenant for each such year, and Tenant shall adjust its payments accordingly beginning with the monthly installment immediately following Landlord’s notice. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant specifying the actual Operating Expenses for the prior calendar year and any necessary adjustment to the Operating Expense Adjustment paid by Tenant for that calendar year. Tenant shall pay any deficit amount to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice. Any excess payment by Tenant for the prior calendar year shall be applied as a Rent credit, or, if the Lease has expired or terminated, be returned to Tenant by Landlord within fifteen (15) calendar days of Landlord’s notice. For purposes of determining Tenant’s annual Operating Expenses, the Operating Expenses which are controllable by Landlord (the “Controllable OE”) shall not be more than five percent (5%) over Controllable OE for the prior year (or the Controllable OE for the Base Operating Expense Factor in the first year that Tenant is required to pay an Operating Expense Adjustment), compounded annually. The cap on Controllable OE does not apply to taxes, insurance, utilities, snow removal or other weather related cleanup, and any other Operating Expense item not within Landlord’s reasonable control for example expenses related to unexpected mechanical breakdowns, pipe rupture repair or damage, repair of a broken window or unforeseen repairs to parking decks. Tenant shall have the right, one (1) time per year, upon notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Operating Expense statement, to have Landlord’s books and records relating solely to Operating Expenses reviewed by a qualified accounting professional selected by Tenant. If Landlord’s calculation of Operating Expenses fails to comply with the requirements of this Section or contains any other material error or miscalculation, as determined by both Tenant’s and Landlord’s qualified accounting professionals, Tenant’s past payments of its proportionate share of Operating Expenses shall be adjusted in accordance with the results of the review, and appropriate payments shall be made by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, within forty-five (45) days after completion of the review. All books and records necessary to accomplish any review permitted under this Section shall be retained by Landlord for a period of one (1) year, and shall be made available to the person conducting the review at the Building or Project during normal business hours. All out-of-pocket costs of the review shall be paid by Tenant unless

 

6


the review reveals that total Operating Expenses controllable by Landlord were mis-stated by five percent (5%) or more in the calendar year reviewed, in which case Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of the review. The provisions of this Section shall survive the cancellation or termination of this Lease.

The term “Operating Expenses” shall mean, except as otherwise specified in this definition, all expenses, costs, and disbursements of every kind and nature, computed on an accrual basis, which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay because of or in connection with the ownership and operation of the Building, or Landlord’s efforts to reduce Operating Expenses, including, without limitation:

 

  (1)

wages and salaries of all employees to an extent commensurate with such employees’ involvement in the operation, repair, replacement, maintenance, and security of the Building, including, without limitation, amounts attributable to the employer’s Social Security Tax, unemployment taxes, and insurance, and any other amount which may be levied on such wages and salaries, and the cost of all insurance and other employee benefits related thereto;

 

  (2)

all supplies and materials used in the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement and security of the Building;

  (4)

the cost of all utilities, other than the cost of electricity supplied to tenants of the Building which is separately metered and reimbursed to Landlord by such tenants;

 

  (5)

  (6)

the cost of all insurance relating to the Building, including, without limitation, casualty and liability insurance applicable to the Building and Landlord’s personal property used in connection therewith;

 

  (7)

In addition to the foregoing, if any event of default by Tenant occurs as described in this Section 9.02 (even if the event of default is cured to the satisfaction of Landlord and the Lease is not terminated), then any option(s) which Tenant may have for the modification of the Term or of the Leased Premises or otherwise pursuant to this Lease shall terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Lease, as well as any invoices and notices relating thereto, constitutes evidence of an indebtedness within the meaning of North Carolina General Statutes section 6-21.2. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages upon a default under this Lease by Tenant.

9.03 Non Waiver.

Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon occurrence thereof, or delay in taking any action in connection therewith, shall not waive such default and Landlord shall have the right to declare any such default at any time and take such action as might be lawful or authorized hereunder, either in law or in equity.

9.04 Attorney’s Fees.

Should either party hereto institute any action or proceeding in court to enforce any provision hereof or for damages by reason of any alleged breach of any provisions of this Lease or for any other judicial remedy, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the non-prevailing party all actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs in connection with said proceeding.

9.05 Subordination; Estoppel Certificate.

(a) This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to any and all ground or similar leases affecting the Building, and to all mortgages which may now or hereafter encumber or affect the Building and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such leases and mortgages; provided, at the option of any such landlord or mortgagee, this Lease shall be superior to the lease or mortgage of such landlord or mortgagee. The provisions of this Section shall be self-operative and shall require no further consent or agreement by Tenant. Tenant agrees, however, to execute and return any estoppel certificate, subordination agreement, consent or agreement reasonably requested by any such landlord or mortgagee, or by Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt of same, including, without limitation, an estoppel certificate. In the event Tenant does not execute and return such estoppel certificate within such ten (10) day period, Tenant will be deemed to have ratified such estoppel certificate, and the information contained therein shall be deemed to be correct and binding upon Tenant. Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord or any mortgagee of Landlord secured by a lien on the Building or any landlord to Landlord under a ground lease of the Building, furnish such mortgagee and/or landlord with notice of any default or breach by Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior to the exercise by Tenant of any rights and/or remedies of Tenant hereunder arising out of such default or breach.

(b) Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) from its lender on the lender’s standard form. Tenant is responsible for the payment of any lender fee associated with obtaining, negotiating or completing the SNDA. Landlord will not be in default of this Lease if it is unable to obtain an SNDA in accordance with this provision.

9.06 Attornment.

If any ground or similar lease or mortgage is terminated or foreclosed, Tenant shall, upon request, attorn to the landlord under such lease or the mortgagee or purchaser at such foreclosure sale, as the case may be, and execute instrument(s) confirming such attornment. In the event of such a termination or foreclosure and upon Tenant’s attornment as aforesaid, Tenant will automatically become the tenant of the successor to Landlord’s interest without change in the terms or provisions of this Lease; provided, such successor to Landlord’s interest shall not be bound by (i) any payment of rent for more than one month in advance except prepayments of Security for the Lease, if any, or (ii) any amendments or modifications of this Lease made without the prior written consent of such landlord or mortgagee.

9.07 Accord and Satisfaction.

No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less than is due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than payment towards or on account of the earliest portion of the amount then due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment in any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such amount or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord.

ARTICLE 10 - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE

10.01 Assignment or Sublease.

Tenant shall not, voluntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, or encumber this Lease or sublease the Leased Premises or any part thereof, or allow any person other than Tenant, its employees, agents, servants and invitees, to occupy or use the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, without the express prior written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing without such written consent shall be null and void and shall constitute a default under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant assign this Lease or sublease the Leased Premises to any entity engaged in the commercial real estate business, including, without limitation, property management or the brokerage, ownership or development of competitive properties. Landlord’s consent to any assignment or sublease hereunder does not constitute a waiver of its right to consent to any further assignment or sublease. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such desire at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date on which Tenant desires to make such assignment or sublease, together with a non-refundable fee of Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00) (the “Transfer Fee”). Landlord shall then have a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice within which to notify Tenant in writing that Landlord elects (a) to terminate this Lease as to the space so affected as of the date so specified by Tenant, in which event Tenant shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder as to such space, or (b) to permit Tenant to assign this Lease or sublet such space, or (c) to refuse to consent to Tenant’s assignment or subleasing such space and to continue this Lease in full force and effect as to the entire Leased Premises. If Landlord should fail to notify Tenant in writing of such election within the thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected option (b) above. If Landlord elects option

 

21


(b) above and approves the assignment or sublease, then (i)) if the rent agreed upon between Tenant and subtenant is greater than the Monthly Base Rent that Tenant is obligated to pay to Landlord under this Lease, fifty percent (50%) of the excess rent (exclusive of Tenant’s reasonable, documented costs of subleasing the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, commissions, legal fees, marketing costs and tenant improvements), shall be deemed Additional Rent owed by Tenant and payable to Landlord in the same manner that Tenant pays the Rent hereunder; and (ii) Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, including but not limited to, additional fit-up work required due to any changes in the building, fire or other municipal, state, or federal codes after the date of this Lease, together with all costs of providing any additional certificate of occupancy required for the subleased space or assigned premises. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord’s actual reasonable attorney’s fees (not to exceed $5,000.00) associated with Landlord’s review and documentation of any requested assignment or sublease hereunder regardless of whether Landlord consents to any such assignment or sublease. No assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligations under this Lease, and Tenant shall remain fully liable hereunder. If Tenant is not a public company that is registered on a national stock exchange or that is required to register its stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 12(g) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, any change in a majority of the voting rights or other controlling rights or interests of Tenant shall be deemed an assignment for the purposes hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, subject to the conditions contained in this Section 10.01, including providing Landlord with prior notice of the assignment or sublease (but without the need for obtaining Landlord’s prior approval and consent or the payment of the Transfer Fee) to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Leased Premises to (i) any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant; (ii) any entity succeeding to the business and assets of Tenant; (iii) any subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant; and (iv) any entity which is part of or affiliated with Tenant (any of the foregoing shall be deemed an “Affiliate”), so long as the Affiliate is at least as credit-worthy as Tenant, in Landlord’s sole discretion, at the time of the transfer or has a net worth equal to or greater than Tenant’s at the time of transfer or as of the date of this Lease. Tenant shall not be released from liability under this Lease upon the assignment or sublease of the Lease to an Affiliate. In conjunction with any Tenant debt or equity financing, Landlord agrees that it shall endeavor to review and respond to any consent request from Tenant within five (5) business days of receipt of such request. In connection with Landlord’s review of any non-public documents and information furnished by Tenant in connection with a proposed Transfer, Landlord agrees to hold such information in confidence and not to disclose such information to third parties, other than its attorneys, accountants, prospective purchasers of the Building, partners in the Landlord entity and current or prospective mortgagees or the attorneys of any of them, or as required by law. Landlord further agrees to inform any such attorneys, accountants, prospective purchasers of the Building, partners in the Landlord entity and current or prospective mortgagees or the attorneys of any of them that such information is confidential.

10.02 Assignment by Landlord.

Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all its rights and obligations hereunder and in the Building and all other property referred to herein, and in such event and upon such transfer (any such transferee to have the benefit of, and be subject to, the provisions of Section 6.06 and Section 8.07 hereof) no further liability or obligation shall thereafter accrue against Landlord under this Lease.

EXHIBIT C

WORKLETTER AGREEMENT

1) Existing Condition and Tenant Improvements. The condition of the Leased Premises as of the date of this Lease, as is and with all faults, shall be deemed the “Existing Condition”. All demolition of and improvements made to the Existing Condition of the Leased Premises in accordance with the Schematic Space Plan and Plans (both defined below) shall be deemed the “Tenant Improvements”.

2) Allowance. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a tenant improvement allowance in the amount not to exceed [***] (or [***] per square foot) (the “Allowance”), to pay for the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord for the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements. The costs and expenses shall include, but not be limited to, the costs and expenses of any (i) design and construction services related to architectural, plumbing, mechanical and electrical trades, (ii) demolition work, and (iii) construction administration services provided by Landlord’s architect and consulting engineers. Costs and expenses shall also include a construction management fee for Landlord of five percent (5%) of the total cost of the Tenant Improvements and all costs associated with any contractor’s general conditions, permits (including any new or changes to development, facility or transportation impact fees), taxes, insurance and fees.

3) Design. Landlord shall cause an architect and one or more engineers, each of whom shall be designated by Landlord in its commercially reasonable discretion, to consult with Tenant and to prepare architectural, plumbing, mechanical and electrical plans that are (i) consistent with the “Schematic Space Plan” for the Leased Premises, which is attached hereto as Exhibit C-l, (ii) sufficiently detailed for pricing, approval and construction of the Tenant Improvements, and (iii) subject to Landlord’s approval, in its sole discretion (the “Detailed Plans”). All millwork, partitions, doors, hardware, ceiling tile, window coverings, plumbing, HVAC, lighting fixtures, switches, outlets and life safety items shall be designed in Landlord’s standard manner. Carpet and paint shall be selected and designed in Landlord’s standard manner and from Landlord’s standard finishes, unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord, in accordance with Section 4 herein. Landlord intends to reuse existing materials to the extent possible, including doors, frames, hardware, lights, ceiling tile and millwork. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord all other information and technical data reasonably necessary for the preparation of the Detailed Plans within two (2) business days of Landlord’s request therefor, or as otherwise agreed to by Tenant and Landlord, so as not to delay the design, pricing, approval and construction of the Tenant Improvements by the Target Commencement Date. Tenant has authorized Sarah Kohut (“Tenant’s Representative”) to represent Tenant for all purposes related to the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements, including approval of the Plans and any Change Orders (as defined below), and approval by Tenant’s Representative shall constitute approval by Tenant.

4) Approval of Plans and Cost. Landlord shall cause a general contractor or contractors designated by Landlord, at its sole discretion, to prepare detailed pricing of construction of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to the Detailed Plans. Landlord shall submit to Tenant for Tenant’s approval (i) the Detailed Plans and (ii) an itemized cost statement of all design and construction costs related to the Tenant Improvements (the “Cost Statement”). Within five (5) business days after its receipt of the Detailed Plans and Cost Statement, Tenant shall approve the Detailed Plans

 

32


and the Cost Statement in writing, subject to any modifications or changes in the Detailed Plans requested by Tenant, Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall retain final approval rights for the Detailed Plans. After Tenant’s approval of the Detailed Plans and the Cost Statement, or in the event Tenant does not respond to Landlord within such five (5) business day period, the Detailed Plans and the Cost Statement shall be deemed to be approved by Tenant, and such approved Detailed Plans shall be thereafter deemed the “Plans”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the costs and expenses of the Tenant Improvements as approved by Tenant exceed the Allowance, then Tenant shall be obligated to pay for all such excess costs. Landlord shall submit an invoice to Tenant for such excess costs at the time the Detailed Plans and Cost Statement are approved or deemed approved by Tenant, and Tenant shall pay such excess costs immediately upon receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor. If the cost of designing and constructing the Tenant Improvements as approved by Tenant is less than the Allowance, Tenant shall not be entitled to any refund of the unused portion of the Allowance.

5) Change Orders and Additional Costs. After approval of the Cost Statement by Tenant, additional costs will likely be incurred by Landlord. These costs may include, without limitation, design costs that may not yet have been billed, design costs for selection of finishes, costs for construction clarifications and other construction administration by the architect or engineers, construction changes required by governmental inspectors, and changes to the Plans or actual construction initiated by Tenant. From time to time, Landlord shall update the previously approved Cost Statement to account for the subsequent changes in cost, and Tenant shall immediately pay any cost in excess of the Allowance and not previously paid by Tenant. For changes initiated by Tenant that will revise the previously approved Cost Statement or the construction schedule, a change order (“Change Order”) shall be prepared by Landlord, its architect, or general contractor. Each Change Order shall include information regarding any revisions to the cost and construction schedule, and shall provide sufficient information for evaluation by Landlord, its architect, and Tenant. Before the work detailed on the Change Order proceeds, Tenant’s Representative must approve the Change Order, including any change in cost and time. Tenant shall have two (2) business days to approve each Change Order, unless Landlord grants Tenant more time. If Tenant does not approve the Change Order within the approval period, the Change Order shall be deemed disapproved by Tenant. If the Change Order is not approved or deemed disapproved, Landlord shall not proceed with the work contemplated in the Change Order. If the Change Order is approved and the additional cost exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) and is in excess of the Allowance, and if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall pay the cost of any such Change Order before Landlord proceeds with the work that is the subject of the Change Order.

6) Construction. After Tenant (i) approves the Detailed Plans and the Cost Statement, (or if Tenant does not respond to Landlord regarding the Detailed Plans and the Cost Statement, as set forth in Section 4 herein), and (ii) pays any and all costs in excess of the Allowance as set forth in Section 4 herein, then Landlord shall be entitled to cause, and shall cause, the general contractor designated by Landlord to construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Plans and the Cost Statement. Landlord shall ensure that the Tenant Improvements are constructed in a first-class and professional manner and in accordance with the Plans.

 

33


7) Delay. The Commencement Date, Expiration Date, and commencement of installments of Monthly Base Rent shall not be postponed or delayed as a result of any of the following:

 

  a)

Tenant’s failure to furnish information or consult with Landlord or Landlord’s architects or engineers when requested in order to prepare the Detailed Plans;

 

  b)

Tenant’s failure to approve the Detailed Plans and/or Cost Statement or to pay any excess cost as provided in Sections 4 and 5 herein;

 

  c)

Tenant’s failure during construction to furnish information or consult with Landlord or Landlord’s architects, engineers or contractors when requested in order to complete construction;

 

  d)

Additional time necessary to consider changes, revise the Plans, obtain pricing, and/or prepare other documentation for a Change Order initiated by Tenant, whether or not such Change Order is approved by Tenant, and to construct approved Change Orders; or

 

  e)

Any other delay from any other cause attributable to Tenant, its agents, consultants, contractors, subcontractors or employees.

8) Tenant’s Access to Leased Premises. Landlord shall permit Tenant and its agents reasonable access to the Leased Premises during normal business hours at least two (2) weeks prior to the Commencement Date for the purpose of installing telephone and computer cabling and equipment and fixtures. Tenant’s right to install equipment and fixtures does not include a general right to move personal property into the Leased Premises before the Leased Premises is inspected for purposes of obtaining a certificate of occupancy. Therefore the right to install equipment and fixtures only is granted to the extent the installation does not interfere or hinder Landlord’s ability to obtain a certificate of occupancy for the Leased Premises. Tenant’s entry of the Leased Premises for installation shall not constitute acceptance of the Leased Premises nor Tenant’s acknowledgment of the Commencement Date of the Lease, unless Tenant commences the operation of any portion of its business therein. This right Page 27 Two Hannover Square of entry onto the Leased Premises is a license from Landlord to Tenant and is subject to revocation in the event that Tenant or its employees, contractors or agents indirectly or directly causes or is the cause of any code or governmental violation, labor dispute, delay or damage or otherwise becomes in default of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease as provided in Section 9.02. Prior to Tenant’s access, Tenant shall demonstrate to Landlord that it has obtained the insurance required and is in compliance with Section 8.04 of the Lease. Tenant’s early access shall be subject to the Section 8.05 of the Lease (Hold Harmless) and Section 8.06 of the Lease (Waiver of Subrogation Rights). Therefore, Tenant agrees to assume all risk of loss or damage to any telephone and computer cabling, equipment and fixtures installed pursuant to this provision and to indemnify and hold Landlord, its contractors, employees or agents harmless for any damage or injury indirectly or directly caused by Tenant’s entry.

9) Warranties. Landlord shall cause the repair or replacement of any defects in material or workmanship in the Tenant Improvements installed by Landlord for a period of one (1) year after the date of substantial completion of the Leased Premises, or the duration of any manufacturer’s warranty, whichever is longer, provided Tenant notifies Landlord of such defect as soon as reasonably practicable after the date Tenant discovers such defect. LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED

 

34


WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IN CONNECTION WITH THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 9. Tenant’s sole remedy for the breach of any applicable warranty shall be the remedy set forth in this Section 9. Tenant agrees that no other remedy, including without limitation, incidental or consequential damages for lost profits, injury to person or property or any other incidental or consequential loss, shall be available to Tenant.

10) Compliance with Certain Requirements. At any time before, during, and after construction, Landlord shall have the right to require changes to the Plans and construction in order to comply with applicable building codes, other governmental requirements, and insurance requirements. Neither Landlord’s nor Tenant’s approval of the Plans is a warranty that the Plans comply with applicable building codes, other governmental requirements, and insurance requirements.

11) Liability. The architects and engineers are responsible for completing the Plans in accordance with applicable, laws, rules and regulations, including the local building code, and in a manner that is consistent with Tenant’s intended use. The contractor is responsible for completing the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Plans. The architects and engineers and contractor are responsible if the Tenant Improvements are not completed in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations or Tenant’s intended use.
