The term " Drawings and Specifications " shall mean (i) the plan attached hereto as Exhibit "B-1" (the " Pricing Plans "), together with (ii) final construction drawings , specifications, finish schedules and the like necessary to commence construction of the Tenant Improvements consistent with the Pricing Plans, which are to be prepared by Landlord's architect (" Landlord’s Architect ") and approved by Landlord and Tenant (the " Construction Drawings "), such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to approve any of the improvements or work contemplated by the Drawings and Specifications which are structural in nature or affect the structural integrity, security or life safety systems of the Building or would require modification of the base Building systems. The Drawings and Specifi c ations, including any changes or modifications thereto, shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, as aforesaid, shall conform with the plans for the Building and shall comply with all applicable laws. 

(a)    Tenant desires to use Landlord’s Architect to prepare final working drawings, specifications, finish schedules, and the like necessary to commence construction of the Tenant Improvements. The cost of preparing the Drawings and Specifications (including only one further set of revisions to same if so requested by Tenant) as set forth in this Section 2.01, as well as fees and expenses for constru c tion management, shall be a part of the Tenant Improvement Costs. The cost of any further revisions to such drawings, specifications and finish s c hedules shall be part of Tenant’s Costs under Section 3.03, below. 

 

(b)    As soon as reasonably possible following the execution of this Second Amendment, Landlord shall cause Landlord’s Architect to prepare the Construction Drawings. During the preparation of the Construction Drawings, Tenant shall supply Landlord’s Architect, within two (2) business days following written request therefore, with any information necessary for the completion of the Construction Drawings.

The remainder of Landlord’s Allowance for Tenant Improvement Costs may be utilized by Tenant for cabling and wiring of the Expansion Space, moving expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with the expansion of the Premises as contemplated hereby, and any unused portion may be utilized by Tenant as a credit against Base Rental due under the Lease after such time as Landlord has completed construction of the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, that the maximum amount that may be utilized by Tenant as a credit against Base Rental hereunder shall be the sum of $3.52 per square foot of rentable area in the Expansion Space, or $13,648.75 based on 3,872 square feet of rentable area in the Expansion Space. For purposes of applying the credit against Base Rental referenced in the previous sentence, Tenant shall be entitled to apply such credit to the Base Rental next coming due for the first month or months immediately after the month in which Landlord and Tenant have executed the Tenant Acceptance Agreement with respect to the Expansion Space as contemplated by this Second Amendment.

The remainder of Landlord’s Allowance for Tenant Improvement Costs not utilized by Tenant pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be retained by Landlord. All improvements made from concrete slab to concrete deck shall be deducted from this allowance.

(c)    The cost of making any and all changes in and to the Drawings and Specifications and any and all increased costs in the Tenant Improvement Costs resulting therefrom; and in the event the aggregate of Tenant Costs, as defined above, exceeds Landlord’s Allowance for Tenant Improvement Costs, as specified in Section 3.02 above, then Tenant shall promptly pay the excess to Landlord as additional rent, as set forth in Section 3.04. 

 

Section 3.04    Payment Schedule for Tenant’s Costs . 

 

Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Tenant’s Costs within thirty (30) calendar days after Tenant’s receipt of invoices for the work of constructing and installing the Tenant Improvements from Landlord.

Once any and all changes and modifications are approved, Landlord shall promptly submit the same to Landlord’s Contractor for pricing.

Once the changes and the costs therefore have been approved, Tenant shall be deemed to have given full authorization to Landlord to proceed with the work of constructing and installing the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications, as changed and modified. Landlord, at its option, can require Tenant to pay in lump sum to Landlord any and all increases in the Tenant Improvement Costs which result from approved changes to the Drawings and Specifications.

Section 3.06    Failure to Pay Tenant's C osts . 

 

Failure by Tenant to pay Tenant’s Costs in accordance with this Section 3 will constitute a failure by Tenant to pay rent when due under the Lease and shall therefore constitute an event of default by Tenant under the Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the remedies available to it under this Lease and at law or in equity for nonpayment of rent. 

 

Section 3.07    Landlord's Disbursement Obligations . 

 

Landlord agrees to pay the Tenant Improvement Costs as and when the same become due and payable, subject to Tenant’s obligations to reimburse Landlord for Tenant’s Costs as provided in Section 3.04.
