EXHIBIT B
TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
WORK LETTER
•Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
Landlord shall construct the Tenant Improvements within the Premises
substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications prepared for and
approved by Tenant (the “Plans”), and approved by Landlord prior to the start of
construction, a summary of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B-l. It is agreed
that construction of the Tenant Improvements will be completed at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense using Landlord’s Building standard methods, materials and
finishes. Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for the Tenant
Improvements with a general contractor selected by Landlord after consultation
with Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to select and/or approve
any subcontractors used in connection with the Tenant Improvements. Landlord’s
supervision or performance of any work for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be
deemed a representation or warranty by Landlord that such Plans, or the
revisions thereto, comply with applicable insurance requirements or Applicable
Law, or that the improvements constructed in accordance with the Plans or any
revisions thereto will be adequate for Tenant’s use, it being agreed that Tenant
shall be responsible for all elements of the design of the Plans (including
compliance with Applicable Law, functionality of design, the structural
integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of
Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment).
The anticipated cost of the Tenant Improvements, including the cost of the Plans
borne by Landlord, if any, labor and materials, and contractor’s fees are Shown
in Exhibit B-2. Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord
will submit a final billing to Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord such
Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, within ten (10)
business days following Landlord’s demand.
If Tenant shall request any revisions to the Plans that are not substantially in
accordance with the Plans, Landlord shall have plans for such revisions prepared
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the
cost of preparing any such revisions to the Plans borne by Landlord, plus any
applicable state sales or use tax thereon, upon demand. Promptly upon completion
of the revisions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the increased cost
in the Tenant Improvements, if any, resulting from such revisions to the Plans.
Tenant, within three (3) business days after such notification from Landlord,
shall notify Landlord in writing whether it desires to proceed with such
revisions. In the absence of such timely written authorization, Landlord shall
have the option to continue work on the Premises disregarding the requested
revision. Tenant shall be responsible for any actual delay in completion of the
Premises resulting from any Tenant Delays (as defined below). If such revisions
result in an increase in the cost of the Tenant Improvements, such increased
costs, plus

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, shall be payable by Tenant upon
demand. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all revisions to the
Plans shall be subject to the approval of Landlord, but Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord’s review of the Plans and any revisions thereto is solely for
Landlord’s internal purposes and shall not be or be understood to be a
representation or warranty that such Plans or the revisions thereto comply with
applicable insurance requirements or Applicable Law, or that the improvements
constructed in accordance with the Plans or any revisions thereto will be
adequate for Tenant’s use, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for
all elements of the design of the Plans (including compliance with Applicable
Law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the
configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture,
appliances and equipment).
All necessary construction shall be commenced promptly and shall be
substantially completed in accordance with the Plans; provided, however, that
the time for substantial completion shall be extended for additional periods of
time equal to the time lost by Landlord or Landlord’s contractors,
subcontractors or suppliers due to strikes or other labor troubles, governmental
restrictions and limitations, acts of terrorism, riots, scarcity, unavailability
or delays in obtaining government approvals or permits, fuel, labor or material,
war or other national emergency, accidents, floods or defective materials, fire
damage or other casualties, weather conditions or any cause similar or
dissimilar to the foregoing beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or
Landlord’s contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers or Tenant Delays
(collectively, “Unavoidable Delays”). If the Commencement Date is a function of
the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements, then the Commencement
Date shall be the date upon which the substantial completion of the Tenant
Improvements would have occurred but for Unavoidable Delays.
Each of the following shall constitute a “Tenant Delay” (collectively, “Tenant
Delays”):
Delays caused by any delay in Tenant’s delivering the Plans to Landlord,
Tenant’s revisions to the Plans.
Tenant’s failure to furnish approvals or requests for modification within three
(3) business days after receipt from Landlord.
Delays in furnishing materials, services, supplies, labor or components caused
by the Tenant or Tenant’s preferred vendor.
Delays caused by the performance of any work or activity in the Premises by
Tenant or any of its employees, agents, or contractors.
In constructing the Tenant Improvements, Landlord may (a) make substitutions of
material or components of equivalent grade and quality when and if any specified
material or component shall not be readily or reasonably available, and (b) make
changes to the work necessitated by conditions met in the course of
construction, provided that if any change noted in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) or (b) above is material and substantial in nature, then Tenant’s approval
of such change shall first be obtained (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).
Landlord’s Contractor.
Landlord’s construction of the Tenant Improvement shall be performed by a
licensed contractor selected by Landlord.
With respect to the Tenant Improvements, the term “substantial completion” or
“substantially complete” shall mean the date when the following has occurred:
the Tenant Improvements have been completed to the state that will allow Tenant
to use the Premises for its intended purposes in compliance with Applicable Law,
without material interference to or impairment of Tenant’s business activities
by reason of any item of work remaining to be done to effect full completion of
the Tenant Improvements.
Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Substantial
Completion of the Tenant Improvements by April 30, 2018.
Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be allowed to install, prior to
the date of Substantial Completion, any and all data, telecommunications, and
Access Control systems, including all wiring, so long as the installation does
not delay or unreasonably interfere with Landlord’s contractors. All work done
by Tenant shall be performed by Landlord’s contractor or contractors approved by
Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Tenant may install Tenant’s furniture and fixtures prior to the
Commencement Date so long as Tenant does not unreasonably interfere with
Landlord’s contractors. Tenant and Tenant’s contractors shall provide
certificate of insurance that are reasonably acceptable to Landlord prior to
first entry to Premises.
The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the Plans
attached hereto as Exhibit B-l, subject to any changes as may be agreed to by
Landlord and Tenant, and in compliance with Applicable Law, in a good and
workmanlike manner, free of defects and using materials and equipment of good
quality. Tenant shall have the right to enter the Premises and inspect the
construction of the Tenant Improvements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Lease,
within thirty (30) days, if at all, following the date of Tenant’s acceptance of
the Premises, Tenant shall deliver a written “punch list” with respect to the
Tenant Improvements to Landlord setting forth any and all deviations from the
Plans in the Tenant Improvements, and Landlord shall repair any deviations set
forth in such “punch list” as soon as practicable thereafter.
