CONSTRUCTION RIDER

1. Suite 208 Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall with reasonable diligence through a general contractor designated by Tenant and approved by Landlord (which contractor may be an affiliate of Landlord) construct and install in the Suite 208 Expansion Premises the improvements and fixtures provided for in this Construction Rider (“Suite 208 Tenant Improvements”). All of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements shall be constructed and installed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and Landlord shall have no obligation to construct any tenant improvements or alterations in the Suite 208 Expansion Premises. Landlord and Tenant each shall designate in writing an individual authorized to act as a representative of each respective party with respect to all approvals, directions and authorizations pursuant to this Construction Rider.

1.1 Plans.

1.1.1 Space Plan: Construction Documents. The Suite 208 Tenant Improvements shall be constructed substantially as shown on the plans for the Suite 208 Expansion Premises prepared by the space planner retained by Tenant as the space planner for the Suite 208 Expansion Premises (“Space Planner”), which space plan shall be promptly delivered to Landlord for Landlord’s review and prior approval prior to the commencement of construction of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements (the “Space Plan”). Tenant shall also retain engineering consultants reasonably approved by Landlord (the “Engineers”) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), to prepare all plans and engineering construction documents relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety, and sprinkler work in the Suite 208 Expansion Premises. The plans and drawings to be prepared by the Engineers and the Space Plan to be prepared by the Space Planner may collectively be referred to as the “Construction Documents.” Tenant shall retain an electrical engineer, reasonably approved by Landlord, to prepare plans and engineering construction documents for the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements, and as part of the Construction Documents, the electrical engineer shall provide to Landlord written certification that all electrical work performed by Tenant as part of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements will not overload the Building’s electrical systems.

1.1.2 Construction Documents. Tenant shall promptly cause the Space Planner and the Engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Suite 208 Expansion Premises, and the Space Planner shall compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing Construction Documents in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the “Final Construction Documents”) and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval. Tenant shall supply Landlord with two (2) copies signed by Tenant of such Final Construction Documents. Landlord shall, within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Construction Documents, either (i) approve the Final Construction Documents, (ii) approve the Final Construction Documents subject to specified conditions to be satisfied by Tenant prior to submitting the approved Final Construction Documents for permits as set forth below, or (iii) disapprove and return the Final Construction Documents to Tenant with

 

8


requested revisions. Landlord shall not unreasonably require changes or modifications or withhold its approval of the Final Construction Documents; provided, however, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require changes or modifications or withhold its approval of the Final Construction Documents if (1) the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements will affect the Building’s structure or the Building systems, including but not limited to the electrical system, (2) any element of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements fails to comply with any applicable laws, or (3) the cost of removing the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements at the end of the Term would be excessive in Landlord’s reasonable estimation. If Landlord disapproves the Final Construction Documents, Tenant may resubmit the Final Construction Documents to Landlord at any time, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the resubmitted Final Construction Documents, based upon the criteria set forth in this Section 1.1.2 within three (3) business days after Landlord receives such resubmitted Final Construction Documents.

Once approved by Landlord as set forth above, the Final Construction Documents shall be referred to as the “Approved Construction Documents,” and such Final Construction Documents shall be so approved by Landlord prior to the commencement of construction of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements by Tenant. After approval by Landlord of the Final Construction Documents, Tenant shall cause the Space Planner to submit the Approved Construction Documents to the appropriate municipal authorities for all architectural and structural permits (the “Permits”), provided that (a) the Space Planner shall provide Landlord with a copy of the package that it intends to submit prior to such submission for Landlord’s review and prior approval, (b) Tenant and/or the Space Planner shall provide Landlord with any comments to any submitted plan documents made by any governmental authority immediately upon Tenant’s receipt of same, and copies of all Permits required for construction of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements upon issuance, and (c) if there are Building modifications required to obtain the Permits, then Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent to any such Building modifications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing. Tenant or the Space Planner shall obtain a Permit for all electrical work performed at the Suite 208 Expansion Premises. Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any certificate of occupancy (or other documentation or approval allowing Tenant to legally occupy the Suite 208 Expansion Premises) for the Suite 208 Expansion Premises and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord, at no cost to Landlord, shall cooperate with Tenant in performing ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such certificate of occupancy (or other documentation or approval allowing Tenant to legally occupy the Suite 208 Expansion Premises). No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Construction Documents may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold its consent to any changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Construction Documents that affect (1) the Building’s structure or the Building systems, including but not limited to the electrical system, (2) any element of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements fails to comply with any applicable laws, or (3) the cost of removing the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements at the end of the Term would be excessive in Landlord’s, reasonable estimation.

1.2 Construction of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements.

1.2.1 Contractor: Tenant’s Representatives. Tenant shall retain a qualified and licensed general contractor selected by Tenant in Tenant’s reasonable discretion and approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld) (the “Contractor”) for the construction of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements, which Contractor shall be a qualified, reputable, general contractor experienced in class A office building tenant improvement construction in the greater Los Angeles area. The Space Planner, Engineers, Contractor, other contractors, subcontractors, consultants, laborers, vendors, and material suppliers retained and/or used by Tenant in connection with the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements shall be known collectively as “Tenant’s Representatives.” At least ten (10) business days prior to the date Tenant enters into any contract for construction of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for Landlord’s prior approval, the name of the Contractor, and those subcontractors whose work affects the Building structure, the Building systems, or the roof of the Building, and such additional information on such contractors as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have the right to review and approve or disapprove each contractor and’ subcontractor submitted by Tenant based upon such contractor’s or subcontractors qualifications, including (a) quality of work, (b) creditworthiness, (c) experience in general construction of tenant improvements, and in constructing improvements similar to the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements, and (d) references, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord, at least ten (10) business days prior to the date Tenant enters into any contract(s) for construction of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements, shall have the right to designate any subcontractor whose work affects the structure of the Building, the roof, any life safety systems, and any Building system. The contractor selected by Tenant, as reasonably approved by Landlord, is herein called the “Contractor”.

If the proposed design and construction of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements results in any such governmentally-required alterations or improvements being imposed as a condition to the issuance of applicable permits or approvals, then Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses relating to such additional governmentally-required alterations and improvements (which shall be constructed by Landlord) provided, however, that if the performance of such

 

10


governmentally-required alterations or improvements can be avoided by modifying the cost, design or manner of construction of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements, then, subject to Landlord’s prior approval, Tenant may elect to modify the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements in accordance with the provisions of this Construction Rider. Landlord shall notify Tenant of any such required alterations or improvements promptly after Landlord is notified of the same.

1.2.3 Construction.

Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws and with all recorded restrictions affecting the property. Upon prior written notice, Landlord shall have the right to suspend any construction activity by Tenant that detracts from harmonious labor relations at the property.

The Suite 208 Tenant Improvements shall be deemed to be “Substantially Completed” when they have been completed in accordance with the Approved Construction Documents except for finishing details, minor omissions, decorations and mechanical adjustments of the type normally found on an architectural “punch list.” (The definition of Substantially Completed shall also define the terms “Substantial Completion” and “Substantially Complete.”)

Following Substantial Completion of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall inspect the Suite 208 Expansion Premises and prepare a “punch list” of agreed items of construction remaining to be completed. Tenant shall complete the items set forth in the punch list as soon as reasonably possible.

1.2.4 Indemnity: Insurance. Tenant’s indemnity of Landlord as set forth in Article 10 of the Lease shall also apply with respect to any and all costs, losses, damages, injuries and liabilities related in any way to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or in connection with Tenant’s non-payment of any amount arising out of the Suite 208 Tenant Improvements. All of Tenant’s Representatives shall carry worker’s compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and shall also carry commercial general liability insurance, including property damage, all with limits, in form and with companies as are required to be carried by Tenant as set forth in Article 11 of the Lease, and the policies therefor shall insure Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may appear, as well as the Contractor and subcontractors.
