The “Target Initial Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date” shall be August 15, 2017.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date may occur prior to the Target Initial Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date if Landlord’s Work in the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises is Substantially Completed prior to the Target Initial Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date.  

Except as set forth in the Fifth Expansion Premises Work Letter: (i) Tenant shall accept the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises in their condition as of the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date; (ii) Landlord shall have no obligation for any defects in the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises; and (iii) Tenant’s taking possession of the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises and that the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken.

Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to Deliver the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises to Tenant on or before the Target Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date with Landlord’s Work in the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises Substantially Completed.  If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and the Lease with respect to the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises shall not be void or voidable.  

The “Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date” shall be the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that Landlord delivers the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Work with respect to the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises Substantially Completed, (ii) the date that Landlord could have delivered to Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Work with respect to the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises Substantially Completed but for Tenant Delays, or (iii) the date that Tenant actually occupies the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises (i.e., employees of Tenant have been moved into offices and cubes in all or a portion of the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises).  The “Target Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date” shall be January 1, 2018.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord notifies Tenant prior to the Target Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date that Landlord’s Work with respect to the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises has been Substantially Completed, Tenant may elect, by written notice to Landlord, to have the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date occur prior to the Target Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date (provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to Substantially Complete Landlord’s Work in the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises prior to the Target Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date).

Within 10 days after Tenant’s receipt of the Pending Deal Notice, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice (the “Space Acceptance Notice”) if Tenant elects to lease the Identified Space.  Tenant’s right to receive the Pending Deal Notice and election to lease or not lease the Identified Space pursuant to this Section 14(a) is hereinafter referred to as the “Right of First Refusal.”  If Tenant elects to lease the Identified Space described in the Pending Deal Notice by delivering the Space Acceptance Notice within the required 10 day period, and such election is made within 120 days after the date of this Sixth Amendment, then Tenant shall be deemed to agree to lease the Identified Space on the same general terms and conditions as the Lease; provided, however, that (i) the commencement date of the Lease with respect to the Identified Space shall occur upon Landlord’s delivery of the Identified Space to Tenant with any work in the space to be performed by Landlord, if any, substantially completed (the “ROFR Space Commencement Date”), (ii) Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent for the then-existing Premises as provided in the Lease, and in addition thereto, beginning on the ROFR Space Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Identified Space at the rate of $52.00 per rentable square foot of the Identified Space per year, subject to increase pursuant to Section 4(b) of this Sixth Amendment, (iii) Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses shall be proportionately adjusted to include the Identified Space, (iv) Tenant shall commence paying Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses with respect to the Identified Space upon the ROFR Space Commencement Date, (v) the parties shall enter into a work letter reasonably acceptable to both parties for the construction of fixed and permanent improvements in the Identified Space which work letter shall provide for a tenant improvement allowance with respect to the Identified Space equal to $20.00 per rentable square foot of the Identified Space (the “ROFR Space Allowance”), which ROFR Space Allowance shall, if applicable, be decreased as provided in the immediately following paragraph, and (vi) the term of the Lease with respect to the Identified Space shall expire on the then-current Expiration Date (except to the extent Tenant has exercised its right to extend the Term of the Lease pursuant to Section 34 of the Lease, in which case the term of the Lease with respect to the Identified Space shall expire upon the expiration of the extended Term). If Tenant elects to lease the Identified Space by delivering the Space Acceptance Notice and such Space Acceptance Notice is delivered after the date that is 120 days after the date of this Sixth Amendment, then Tenant shall be deemed to agree to lease the Identified Space on the same general terms and conditions as the Lease except that the terms of the Lease shall be modified with respect to the Identified Space to reflect the terms of the Pending Deal.  The term of the Lease with respect to the Identified Space shall be the term reflected in the Pending Deal, which Tenant acknowledges and agrees may not be co-terminous with the Term of the Lease with respect to the then-existing Premises.

Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall be ongoing during the Base Term; provided, however that Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Right of First Refusal and the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall no longer apply after the date that is 9 months prior to the expiration of the Base Term if Tenant has not exercised its Extension Right pursuant to Section 34 of the Lease.

If Tenant exercises its Right of First Refusal with respect to at least 29,352 rentable square feet of the ROFR Space pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, then Tenant shall have the one-time right, subject to the provisions of this paragraph, to terminate the Lease (“Second Floor Early Termination Right”) with respect to the Original Premises, the Expansion Premises, the Second Expansion Premises and the Third Expansion Premises containing 18,562 rentable square feet in the aggregate (the “Second Floor Premises”) on the date that is 30 days after the ROFR Space Commencement Date (the “Early Second Floor Termination Date”) by delivery of written notice to Landlord concurrently with Tenant’s delivery of the Space Acceptance Notice to Landlord (an “Early Second Floor Termination Notice”).

If Tenant does not deliver to Landlord an Early Second Floor Termination Notice within the time period provided in this paragraph, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its Early Second Floor Termination Right and the provisions of this paragraph shall have no further force or effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sixth Amendment, if Tenant elects to exercise its Second Floor Early Termination Right pursuant to this paragraph within 120 days after the date of this Sixth Amendment, and any portion of the TI Allowance and/or the Existing Premises Allowance (as such terms are defined in the Fifth Expansion Premises Work Letter) have been expended for Tenant improvements in the Second Floor Premises, then the ROFR Space Allowance shall be reduced by an amount equal to any such TI Allowance and/or Existing Premises Allowance expended by Tenant in the Second Floor Premises.

b.Amended Lease.  If: (i) Tenant fails to timely deliver a Space Acceptance Notice, or (ii) after the expiration of a period of 30 days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a lease amendment for Tenant’s lease of the Identified Space, no lease amendment for the Identified Space acceptable to both parties each in their reasonable discretion, has been executed, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to lease such Identified Space.

Tenant shall not be obligated to respond to or act upon any request, approval, inquiry or other Communication from or on behalf of Landlord in connection with this Fifth Expansion Premises Work Letter unless such Communication is in writing from Landlord’s Representative.  Landlord may change either Landlord’s Representative at any time upon not less than 5 business days advance written notice to Tenant.

2.Tenant Improvements.

(a)Tenant Improvements Defined.  As used herein, “Tenant Improvements” shall mean all improvements to the Fifth Expansion Premises of a fixed and permanent nature as shown on the TI Construction Drawings, as defined in Section 2(c) below, which Tenant Improvements may, at Tenant’s election include, an internal communicating stairwell connecting the Second Floor Premises and the Fifth Expansion Premises (the “Communication Stairwell”).  If Tenant elects to include a Communicating Stairwell as part of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall (i) not be required to remove or restore the 


	
723422957.4
	
B-1
	





 



 

Communicating Stairwell to its original configuration at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, or (ii) be required to pay the cost for the removal or restoration of the same at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.  Other than Landlord’s Work (as defined in Section 3(a) below), Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever with respect to the finishing of the Fifth Expansion Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Tenant Improvements in the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises and the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises may be constructed in phases.

(b)Tenant’s Space Plans.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that that certain plan for the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the “Space Plan”) has been approved by Landlord and Tenant.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and the TI Architect schematic drawings and outline specifications (the “Subsequent Premises Space Plans”) detailing Tenant’s requirements for the Tenant Improvements in the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises on or before August 1, 2017.  Not more than 7 days thereafter, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the written objections, questions or comments of Landlord and the TI Architect with regard to the Subsequent Premises Space Plans.  Tenant shall cause the Subsequent Premises Space Plans to be revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said drawings to Landlord for approval within 7 days thereafter.  Such process shall continue until Landlord has approved the Subsequent Premises Space Plans.

(c)Working Drawings.  Landlord shall cause the TI Architect to prepare and deliver to Tenant for review and comment construction plans, specifications and drawings for the Tenant Improvements (“TI Construction Drawings”), which TI Construction Drawings shall be prepared substantially in accordance with the Space Plan and the Subsequent Premises Space Plans, respectively.  Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the TI Construction Drawings reflect Tenant’s requirements for the Tenant Improvements with respect to the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises and the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, respectively.  Tenant shall deliver its written comments on the TI Construction Drawings to Landlord not later than 10 business days after Tenant’s receipt of the same; provided, however, that Tenant may not disapprove any matter that is consistent with the Space Plan or the Subsequent Premises Space Plans, respectively, without submitting a Change Request.  Landlord and the TI Architect shall consider all such comments in good faith and shall, within 10 business days after receipt, notify Tenant how Landlord proposes to respond to such comments, but Tenant’s review rights pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not delay the design or construction schedule for the Tenant Improvements with respect to the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises or the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises.  Any disputes in connection with such comments shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2(d) hereof.  Provided that the design reflected in the TI Construction Drawings is consistent with the Space Plan and the Subsequent Premises Space Plans, respectively, Tenant shall approve the TI Construction Drawings submitted by Landlord, unless Tenant submits a Change Request.  Once approved by Tenant, subject to the provisions of Section 4 below, Landlord shall not materially modify the TI Construction Drawings except as may be reasonably required in connection with the issuance of the TI Permit (as defined in Section 3(b) below).

(d)Approval and Completion.  It is hereby acknowledged by Landlord and Tenant that (i) the permit set of TI Construction Drawings for the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises must be completed and approved no later than May 1, 2017, in order for the Landlord’s Work in the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises to be Substantially Completed by the Target Initial Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date (as defined in the Sixth Amendment) and (ii) the permit set of TI Construction Drawings for the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises must be completed and approved no later than August 15, 2017, for Landlord’s Work in the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises to be Substantially Completed by the Target Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date (as defined in the Sixth Amendment).  Upon any dispute regarding the design of the Tenant Improvements, which is not settled within 10 business days after notice of such dispute is delivered by one party to the other, Tenant may make the final decision regarding the design of the Tenant Improvements, provided (i) Tenant acts reasonably and such final decision is either consistent with or a compromise between Landlord’s and Tenant’s positions with respect to such dispute, (ii) that all costs and expenses resulting from any such 


	
723422957.4
	
B-2
	





 



 

decision by Tenant shall be payable out of the TI Fund (as defined in Section 5(d) below), and (iii) Tenant’s decision will not affect the base Building, structural components of the Building or any Building Systems.  Any changes to the TI Construction Drawings following Landlord’s and Tenant’s approval of same requested by Tenant shall be processed as provided in Section 4 hereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Fifth Expansion Premises Work Letter, any failure of the permit set of TI Construction Drawings for the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises to be completed and approved by May 1, 2017, or any failure of the permit set of TI Construction Drawings for the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises to be completed and approved by August 15, 2017, shall constitute a Tenant Delay.

3.Performance of Landlord’s Work.

(a)Definition of Landlord’s Work.  As used herein, “Landlord’s Work” shall mean the work of constructing the Tenant Improvements.

(b)Commencement and Permitting.  Landlord shall commence construction of the Tenant Improvements upon obtaining a building permit (the “TI Permit”) authorizing the construction of the Tenant Improvements consistent with the TI Construction Drawings approved by Tenant.  The cost of obtaining the TI Permit shall be payable from the TI Fund.  Tenant shall assist Landlord in obtaining the TI Permit.  If any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the construction of Landlord’s Work or any portion thereof shall impose terms or conditions upon the construction thereof that:  (i) are inconsistent with Landlord’s obligations hereunder, (ii) increase the cost of constructing Landlord’s Work, or (iii) will materially delay the construction of Landlord’s Work, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably and in good faith seek means by which to mitigate or eliminate any such adverse terms and conditions.

(c)Completion of Landlord’s Work.  Landlord shall (i) substantially complete or cause to be substantially completed Landlord’s Work in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the TI Permit subject, in each case, to Minor Variations and normal “punch list” items of a non-material nature that do not interfere with the use of the Fifth Expansion Premises, and (ii)  obtain a certificate or temporary certificate of occupancy (or an equivalent approval) for the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises and the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, respectively, permitting lawful occupancy of the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises and the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, respectively (but specifically excluding any permits, licenses or other governmental approvals required to be obtained in connection with Tenant’s operations in the Fifth Expansion Premises) (“Substantial Completion” or “Substantially Complete”).  Upon Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work in the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises and the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, respectively, Landlord shall require the TI Architect and the general contractor to execute and deliver, for the benefit of Tenant and Landlord, a Certificate of Substantial Completion in the form of the American Institute of Architects (“AIA”) document G704.  For purposes of this Fifth Expansion Premises Work Letter, “Minor Variations” shall mean any modifications reasonably required:  (i) to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and/or to obtain or to comply with any required permit (including the TI Permit); (ii) to comply with any request by Tenant for modifications to Landlord’s Work; (iii) to comport with good design, engineering, and construction practices that are not material; or (iv) to make reasonable adjustments for field deviations or conditions encountered during the construction of Landlord’s Work.  

(d)Selection of Materials.  Where more than one type of material or structure is indicated on the TI Construction Drawings approved by Landlord and Tenant, the option will be selected at Landlord’s sole and absolute subjective discretion.  As to all building materials and equipment that Landlord is obligated to supply under this Fifth Expansion Premises Work Letter, Landlord shall select the manufacturer thereof in its sole and absolute subjective discretion.

(e)Delivery of the Fifth Expansion Premises.  When Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete in the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises and the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, subject to the remaining terms and provisions of this Section 3(e), Tenant shall accept the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises and the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, respectively.  Tenant’s taking possession and acceptance of the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises and the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises shall not constitute a waiver of:  (i) any warranty with respect to workmanship (including installation of equipment) or material (exclusive of equipment provided directly by manufacturers), (ii) any non-compliance of Landlord’s Work with applicable Legal Requirements, or (iii) any claim that Landlord’s Work was not completed substantially in accordance with the TI Construction Drawings (subject to Minor Variations and such other changes as are permitted hereunder) (collectively, a “Construction Defect”).  Tenant shall have with respect to the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises, one year after Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises, and with respect to the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, one year after Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, within which to notify Landlord of any such Construction Defect discovered by Tenant, and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to remedy or cause the responsible contractor to remedy any such Construction Defect within 30 days thereafter.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be in default under the Lease if the applicable contractor, despite Landlord’s reasonable efforts, fails to remedy such Construction Defect within such 30-day period, in which case Landlord shall have no further obligation with respect to such Construction Defect other than to cooperate, at no cost to Landlord, with Tenant should Tenant elect to pursue a claim against such contractor. 

Tenant shall be entitled to receive the benefit of all construction warranties and manufacturer’s equipment warranties relating to equipment installed in the Fifth Expansion Premises.  If requested by Tenant, Landlord shall attempt to obtain extended warranties from manufacturers and suppliers of such equipment, but the cost of any such extended warranties shall be borne solely out of the TI Fund.  Landlord shall promptly undertake and complete, or cause to be completed, all punch list items.

(f)Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date Delay.  Except as otherwise provided in the Lease, Delivery of the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises and the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, respectively shall occur when Landlord’s Work in the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises and the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, respectively, has been Substantially Completed, except to the extent that completion of Landlord’s Work shall have been actually delayed by any one or more of the following causes (“Tenant Delay”):

(i)Tenant’s Representative was not available within 2 business day to give or receive any Communication or to take any other action required to be taken by Tenant hereunder;

(ii)Tenant’s request for Change Requests (as defined in Section 4(a) below) whether or not any such Change Requests are actually performed;

(iii)Construction of any Change Requests;

(iv)Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations requiring unusually long lead times, provided that promptly after Landlord learns of such long lead times, Landlord informs Tenant that the requested items will require unusually long lead times;

(v)Tenant’s delay in reviewing, revising or approving plans and specifications beyond the periods set forth herein;

(vi)Tenant’s delay in providing information critical to the normal progression of the Project.  Tenant shall provide such information as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event longer than one week after receipt of any request for such information from Landlord;


	
723422957.4
	
B-4
	





 



 

(vii)Tenant’s delay in making payments to Landlord for Excess TI Costs (as defined in Section 5(b) below); or

(viii)Any other act or omission by Tenant or any Tenant Party (as defined in the Lease), or persons employed by any of such persons.

If Delivery of the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises or the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises is delayed for any of the foregoing reasons, then Landlord shall cause the TI Architect to certify the date on which the Tenant Improvements would have been Substantially Completed in the Initial Fifth Expansion Premises or the Subsequent Fifth Expansion Premises, as applicable, but for such Tenant Delay and such certified date shall be the date of Delivery.

4.Changes.  Any changes requested by Tenant to the Tenant Improvements after the delivery and approval by Landlord of the Space Plan shall be requested and instituted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 and shall be subject to the written approval of Landlord and the TI Architect, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(a)Tenant’s Request For Changes.  If Tenant shall request changes to the Tenant Improvements (“Changes”), Tenant shall request such Changes by notifying Landlord in writing in substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “Change Request”), which Change Request shall detail the nature and extent of any such Change.  Such Change Request must be signed by Tenant’s Representative.  Landlord shall, before proceeding with any Change, respond to Tenant as soon as is reasonably possible with an estimate of:  (i) the time it will take, and (ii) the architectural and engineering fees and costs that will be incurred, to analyze such Change Request (which costs shall be paid from the TI Fund to the extent actually incurred, whether or not such change is implemented).  Landlord shall thereafter submit to Tenant in writing, within 5 business days of receipt of the Change Request (or such longer period of time as is reasonably required depending on the extent of the Change Request), an analysis of the additional cost or savings involved, including, without limitation, architectural and engineering costs and the period of time, if any, that the Change will extend the date on which Landlord’s Work will be Substantially Complete.  Any such delay in the completion of Landlord’s Work caused by a Change, including any reasonable suspension of Landlord’s Work while any such Change is being evaluated and/or designed, shall be Tenant Delay.

(b)Implementation of Changes.  If Tenant: (i) approves in writing the cost or savings and the estimated extension in the time for completion of Landlord’s Work, if any, and (ii) deposits with Landlord any Excess TI Costs required pursuant to Section 5(b) below in connection with such Change, Landlord shall cause the approved Change to be instituted.  Notwithstanding any approval or disapproval by Tenant of any estimate of the delay caused by such proposed Change, the TI Architect’s determination of the amount of Tenant Delay in connection with such Change shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant.

5.Costs.

(a)Budget For Tenant Improvements.  Before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall obtain a detailed breakdown by trade of the costs incurred or that will be incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements (the “Budget”).  

(b)TI Allowance.  Landlord shall provide to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance (the “TI Allowance”) in the amount o $1,665,040 in the aggregate.  The TI Allowance shall be disbursed in accordance with this Work Letter.


	
723422957.4

Tenant shall have no right to the use or benefit (including any reduction to or payment of Base Rent) of any portion of the TI Allowance not required for the construction of (i) the Tenant Improvements described in the TI Construction Drawings approved pursuant to Section 2(d) or (ii) any Changes pursuant to Section 4.  

(c)Costs Includable in TI Fund.  The TI Fund shall be used solely for the payment of design, permits and construction costs in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, the cost of electrical power and other utilities used in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, the cost of preparing the Space Plan, the Subsequent Premises Space Plan and the TI Construction Drawings, all costs set forth in the Budget, including Landlord’s out-of-pocket expenses, costs resulting from Tenant Delays and the cost of Changes (collectively, “TI Costs”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the TI Fund shall not be used to purchase any furniture, personal property or other non-Building system materials or equipment, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s voice or data cabling, non-ducted biological safety cabinets and other scientific equipment not incorporated into the Tenant Improvements.

(d)Excess TI Costs.  Landlord shall have no obligation to bear any portion of the cost of any of the Tenant Improvements except to the extent of the TI Allowance.  If at any time the remaining TI Costs under the Budget exceed the remaining unexpended TI Allowance (“Excess TI Costs”), Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, as a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligation to complete the Tenant Improvements, 50% of the then current TI Costs in excess of the remaining TI Allowance, and the remaining 50% of the Excess TI Costs upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements.  If Tenant fails to deposit any Excess TI Costs with Landlord, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies set forth in the Lease for nonpayment of Rent (including, but not limited to, the right to interest at the Default Rate and the right to assess a late charge).  For purposes of any litigation instituted with regard to such amounts, those amounts will be deemed Rent under the Lease.  The TI Allowance and Excess TI Costs are herein referred to as the “TI Fund.”  Funds deposited by Tenant shall be the first disbursed to pay TI Costs.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5(d), Tenant shall be fully and solely liable for TI Costs and the cost of Minor Variations in excess of the TI Allowance.  If upon completion of the Tenant Improvements and the payment of all sums due in connection therewith there remains any undisbursed portion of the TI Fund, Tenant shall be entitled to such undisbursed TI Fund solely to the extent of any Excess TI Costs deposit Tenant has actually made with Landlord.  

6.Tenant Access.

(a)Tenant’s Access Rights.  Landlord hereby agrees to permit Tenant access, at Tenant’s sole risk and expense, to the Fifth Expansion Premises (i) 14 days prior to the Fifth Expansion Premises Commencement Date to perform any work (“Tenant’s Work”) required by Tenant other than Landlord’s Work, provided that such Tenant’s Work is coordinated with the TI Architect and the general contractor, and complies with the Lease and all other reasonable restrictions and conditions Landlord may impose (except the obligation to pay Base Rent or Operating Expenses with respect to the Fifth Expansion Premises), and (ii) prior to the completion of Landlord’s Work, to inspect and observe work in process; all such access shall be during normal business hours or at such other times as are reasonably designated by Landlord.  Any entry by Tenant shall comply with all established safety practices of Landlord’s contractor and Landlord until completion of Landlord’s Work and acceptance thereof by Tenant.

(b)No Interference.  Neither Tenant nor any Tenant Party (as defined in the Lease) shall interfere with the performance of Landlord’s Work, nor with any inspections or issuance of final approvals by applicable Governmental Authorities, and upon any such interference, Landlord shall have the right to exclude Tenant and any Tenant Party from the Fifth Expansion Premises until Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work.

B-6
	





 



 

(c)No Acceptance of Fifth Expansion Premises.  The fact that Tenant may, with Landlord’s consent, enter into the Fifth Expansion Premises prior to the date Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete for the purpose of performing Tenant’s Work shall not be deemed an acceptance by Tenant of possession of the Fifth Expansion Premises, but in such event Tenant shall defend with counsel reasonably acceptable by Landlord, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss of or damage to Tenant’s property, completed work, fixtures, equipment, materials or merchandise, and from liability for death of, or injury to, any person, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any Tenant Party.

7.Miscellaneous.

(a)Consents.  Whenever consent or approval of either party is required under this Fifth Expansion Premises Work Letter, that party shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent or approval, unless expressly set forth herein to the contrary.

(b)Modification.  No modification, waiver or amendment of this Fifth Expansion Premises Work Letter or of any of its conditions or provisions shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.

(c)Default.  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein or in the Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not have any obligation to perform any work hereunder or to fund any portion of the TI Costs during any period that there is a Default by Tenant under the Lease.
