EXHIBIT B WORK LETTER

1. This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect  to  the preparat ion of the Expansion Premises for Tenant's occupancy. All improvements described in this Work Letter to be constructed in and upon the Expansion Premises by Landlord are hereinafter referred to as the "Landlord's Work." Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Plans (hereinafter defined) for the Landlord's Work have not yet been prepared and, therefore, it is impossible to determine the exact cost of the Landlord's Work at this time. Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord's obligation to pay for the cost of Landlord 's Work shall be limited to $35,418.44 (the "Construction Allowance") and that Tenant shall be responsible for the reasonable cost of Landlord' s Work to the extent that it exceeds the Construction Allowance, as provided in this Work Letter. If the actual cost of Landlord's Work is less than the Construction Allowance,  Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, payment or abatement on account thereof. Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for Landlord's Work with a properly licensed general contractor selected by Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall have  the  right  to  select  and/or approve of any subcontractors used in connection with the Landlord's Work. Tenant shall pay Landlord, within ten (I 0) days after receipt of Landlord's written demand therefor, a construction fee equal to 3% of the Construct ion Allowance to compensate for its construction management services in connection with Landlord's Work. Landlord reserves the right to deduct such fee from the Construction Allowance. The Construction Allowance must be used within six (6) months after the Expansion  Effective Date or any remaining portion shall be forfeited by Tenant.

 

2. Space planning, architectural and engineering (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) drawings for the Landlord's Work shall be prepared at Tenant's sole cost and expense, subject to funding through the Construction Allowance. The space planning, architectural and mechanical drawings are collectively referred to herein as the "Plans".

 

3. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any information reasonably requested by Landlord and shall deliver to Landlord Tenant's approval or disapproval of any  preliminary  or  final  layout,  drawings,  or plans prompt ly after receipt of written request therefor. Any disapproval shall be in writing and shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval. Tenant and Landlord's Architect shall use commercially reasonable efforts to devote such time in consultation with Landlord  and  Landlord's engineer as may reasonably be required to provide all information reasonably necessary in order to enable Landlord's Architect and engineer to promptly complete,  and  obtain Tenant's written  approval  of, the Plans for Landlord's Work. Tenant acknowledges that the Expansion Effective Date is a fixed date, regardless of whether or not Landlord's Work in the Expansion Premises  has been  completed.  Both parties agree to work together i n  good faith to the end that Landlord's Work may commence and be substant ially completed as promptl y as possible, but a failure to so complete shall not be a default or Event of Default for either party. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord 's Work will be conducted during business hours, and agrees that no interference with Tenant's business or inconvenience to Tenant shall be a default by Landlord or constitute a constructive evict ion of Tenant. Landlord agrees to use  its commercia lly reasonable efforts to minimize inconvenience and interference. Neither the approva l of the Plans nor the supervision of Landlord 's Work by Landlord shall constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord as to the accuracy, adequacy, sufficiency and propriety  of the Plans or  the  quality  of workman ship or compliance of Landlord's Work with applicable law.

 

4. Prior to commencing any construct ion of Landlord's Work, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a written estimate sett ing forth the ant icipated cost of the Landlord 's Work, including but not limited to labor and material s, architect' s fees, contractor's fees and permit fees. Promptly thereafter , Tenant sha ll either notify Landlord in writing of its approval of the cost estimate, or specify its objections thereto in

reasonable detail and any desired changes to the proposed Landlord's Work. In the event Tenant notifies Landlord of such objections and desired changes, Tenant shall work with Landlord in good faith to alter the scope of Landlord 's Work in order to reach a mutually acceptable alternative cost estimate.

 

5. If Landlord 's estimate which is approved by Tenant shall exceed the maximum Construction Allowance (such excess being herein referred to as the "Excess Costs"), Tenant shall pay to Landlord such Excess Costs within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Landlord's written demand therefor. Landlord shall not be required to proceed with Landlord 's Work until Tenant pays such Excess Costs. Excess Costs constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure to timely pay same constitutes an Event of Defau lt under the Lease.

 

6. If Tenant shall request any changes to Landlord 's Work that are approved by Landlord ("Change Orders"), Landlord shall have any necessary revisions to the Plans prepared, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for the cost of preparing such revisions. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the estimated increased cost, if any, which will be chargeable to Tenant by reason of such Change Orders, which increased cost shall be deemed Excess Costs hereunder and shall be subject to the provisions of Para2:raph 5 above. Tenant shall, within two (2) Business Days after receiving Landlord's estimate of the cost of the Change Order, notify Landlord in writing whether it desires to proceed with such Change Order. In the absence of such written authorization , Landlord shall have the option to continue work on the Expansion Premises disregarding the requested Change Order, or Landlord may elect to discontinue work on the Expansion Premises until it receives notice of Tenant's decision.

 

7. Following approval of the Plans and the payment by Tenant of the required portion of the Excess Costs, if any, Landlord shall cause Landlord's Work to be constructed substantially  in accordance with the approved Plans, so long as no default (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) shall occur under the Lease. Landlord shall notify Tenant upon substantial completion of Landlord's  Work.  The phrase "substantial completion" shall mean that Landlord's Work has been completed  except  for such minor "punch list" items as would not materially interfere with the use of all or any portion of the Expansion Premises for the permitted use outlined in Section  I . I of the Original Lease.

 

8. This Work Letter shall only be applicable to the Expansion Premises and shall not be deemed applicable to any add itional space added to the Expansion Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion  of  the  original  Expansion Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Lease Term, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease. All capitalized terms used in this Work Letter but not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease.
