3.2Additional Monetary Obligations.

4.2Payment of Additional Rent. Additional Rent shall be paid as follows:

 

(a)Prior to the beginning of a calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement showing the Estimated Costs for such calendar year. If Landlord fails to deliver such statement prior to January 1 of the applicable year, until the delivery of such statement, Tenant’s Estimated Costs shall be deemed to be the same amount of the Estimated Costs for the prior year; provided, however, if Landlord subsequently furnishes to Tenant a statement of such Estimated Costs, to the extent such Estimated Costs are greater than or less than the Estimated Costs paid on a year to date basis, Tenant shall either receive a credit or make a payment, in the amount of such difference on the next date on which Tenant makes a Basic Annual Rent payment hereunder.

 

(b)Concurrent with each monthly payment of Basic Annual Rent due pursuant to Section 3.1 above, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without offset or deduction, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Estimated Costs, plus all other amounts due and owing by Tenant under this Lease which are not included as part of Estimated Costs (e.g., late payment charges).

 

4.3Report of Basic Costs and Parking Garage Costs and Statement of Estimated Costs. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after each calendar year occurring during the Term, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written reconciliation statement (the “Landlord’s Statement”) comparing the actual Basic Costs and actual Parking Garage Costs payable during the previous calendar year against the amounts actually paid by Tenant during the previous calendar year pursuant to Section 4.2 above. If the annual reconciliation statement of costs indicates that the Estimated Costs paid by Tenant for any year exceeded the actual Basic Costs and the actual Parking Garage Costs, Landlord, at its election, shall within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of such reconciliation statement, either (a) pay the amount of such excess to Tenant, or (b) apply such excess against the next installment of Basic Annual Rental or Additional Rent due hereunder. If the annual reconciliation statement of costs indicates that Estimated Costs paid by Tenant for any year are less than the actual Basic Costs and the actual Parking Garage Costs for such calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any such deficiency within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of such reconciliation statement.

4.4Resolution of Disagreement. Every statement given by Landlord pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless within one hundred twenty (120) days after the receipt of such statement Tenant shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness thereof. During the period of 120 days after receipt of Landlord’s Statement, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a certified public accountant or Tenant’s in house accountants (as applicable, “Tenant’s CPA”), which shall not be compensated on a contingency basis, may, for the purpose of verifying Basic Costs and Parking Garage Costs, inspect the records of the material reflected in Landlord’s Statement, including such materials and statements for previous years, as applicable, at a reasonable time mutually-agreeable to Landlord and Tenant. The audit shall be concluded within thirty (30) days of the commencement of such audit and Tenant shall provide Landlord with the results of such audit within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of such audit. The parties recognize the confidential nature of Landlord’s books and records and hence agree that before Landlord shall afford Tenant’s CPA reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records, including the copying of said material in order to complete a thorough analysis of the expenses, Tenant and Tenant’s CPA shall enter into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby Tenant and Tenant’s CPA shall agree, as a condition precedent to their review of such books and records, not to disclose any of the information disclosed in connection with such review to any third party (subject to standard nondisclosure exceptions, including without limitation, disclosures ordered by a court or otherwise required to comply with applicable law). Failure of Tenant to challenge any item in Landlord’s Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Statement shall be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to challenge such item for such year and such determination shall be conclusive for both Landlord and Tenant. In the event Tenant’s audit of Landlord’s Statement discloses discrepancies, Tenant shall disclose the results of such audit to Landlord. Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days to review Tenant’s audit reports and determine if Landlord disputes such reports. If Landlord disputes the results of Tenant’s audit reports, Landlord shall give written notice of such disputes within such thirty (30) day period. Landlord and Tenant shall work in good faith to resolve any disagreements resulting from Tenant’s audit. If Landlord and Tenant cannot resolve such disputes within thirty (30) days of the date Landlord gives notice to Tenant of Landlord’s dispute, either party may refer the decision of the issues raised, if any, to a reputable, nationally-recognized independent firm of certified public accountants (or other organization whose core competency is deemed to be within this specialty area) selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The selected firm shall be deemed to be acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and a determination signed by the selected expert shall be final and binding on both Landlord and Tenant.  Landlord shall afford such accountants/specialists reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records to the extent such accountants/specialists deem necessary in order to reach their decision. In connection therewith, Tenant and such accountants/specialists shall execute and deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such parties shall agree not to disclose any of the information disclosed in connection with such review to any third party (subject to standard nondisclosure exceptions, including without limitation, disclosures ordered by a court or otherwise required to comply with applicable law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such certified public accountant/specialists shall determine that Landlord’s Statement for the subject year or any previous years, if applicable, has overcharged Tenant for Basic Costs and Parking Garage Costs (and such determination is not successfully challenged by Landlord), then (a) Landlord shall refund or credit to Tenant the amount of the overcharge, and (b) if Tenant has been overcharged by more than five percent (5%) of the amount that was actually was due, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable, out-of-pocket cost incurred by Tenant in connection with such audit.

(b)In the event that any rent or additional consideration payable after a Transfer exceed the rents and additional consideration payable under this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall share equally in the amount of any excess payments or consideration. In the event that the rent and additional consideration payable under a Sublease exceed the rents and other consideration payable under this Lease (prorated to the space being subleased pursuant to the Sublease), Landlord and Tenant shall share equally in the amount of any excess payments or consideration.

14.1General Right. In the event of Landlord’s breach, default, or noncompliance hereunder, Tenant shall, before exercising any right or remedy available to it, give Landlord written notice of the claimed breach, default, or noncompliance. If prior to its giving  such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of notice of assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of a lender which has furnished any of the financing referred to in Part XV hereof, concurrently with giving the aforesaid notice to Landlord, Tenant shall, by certified mail, return receipt requested, transmit a copy thereof to such lender. For the thirty (30) days following the giving of the notice(s) required by the foregoing portion of this Section (or such longer period of time as may be reasonably required to cure a matter which, due to its nature, cannot reasonably be rectified within thirty (30) days), Landlord shall have the right to cure the breach, default, or noncompliance involved. If Landlord has failed to cure a default within said period, any such lender shall have an additional thirty (30)  days within which to cure the same or, if such default cannot be cured within that period, such additional time as may be necessary if within such thirty (30) day period said lender has commenced and is diligently pursuing the actions or remedies necessary to cure the breach default, or noncompliance involved (including, but not limited to, commencement and prosecution of proceedings to foreclose or otherwise exercise its rights under its mortgage or other security instrument, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated by Tenant so long as such actions or remedies are being diligently pursued by said lender.

If Tenant fails to comply with its obligations in the immediately preceding sentence within such ten (10) day period, Landlord may perform such obligations at Tenant’s expense, in which case all of Landlord’s costs and expenses in discharging shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 16.3 hereof. Tenant shall cause any person or entity directly or indirectly supplying work or materials to Tenant to acknowledge and agree, and Landlord hereby notifies any such contractor, that: (a) no agency relationship, whether express or implied, exists between Landlord and any contractor retained by Tenant; (b) all construction contracted for by Tenant is being done for the exclusive benefit of Tenant; and (c) Landlord neither has required nor obligated Tenant to make the improvements done by the contractor.

FINANCING; SUBORDINATION




 

15.1Subordination. Tenant acknowledges that it might be necessary for Landlord or its successors or assigns to secure mortgage loan financing or refinancing affecting the Leased Premises. Tenant also acknowledges that the lender interested in any given loan may desire that Tenant’s interest under this Lease be either superior or subordinate to the mortgage then held or to be taken by said Lender. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that at the request of Landlord at any time and from time to time Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument, in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, whereby Tenant subordinates its interest under this Lease and in the Leased Premises to such of the following encumbrances as may be specified by Landlord: Any mortgage or trust deed and customary related instruments are herein collectively referred to merely as a “Mortgage” and securing a loan obtained by Landlord or its successors or assigns for the purpose of enabling acquisition of the Building and/or construction of additional improvements to provide permanent financing for the Building, or for the purpose of refinancing any such construction, acquisition, standing or permanent loan. Provided, however, that any such instrument or subordination executed by Tenant shall provide that so long as Tenant continues to perform all of its obligations under this Lease its tenancy shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding Landlord’s default in connection with the Mortgage concerned or any resulting foreclosure or sale or transfer in lieu of such proceedings. Tenant shall not subordinate its interests hereunder or in the Leased Premises to any lien or encumbrance other than the Mortgages described in and specified pursuant to this Section 15.1 without the prior written consent of Landlord and of the lender interested under each mortgage then affecting the Leased Premises. Any such unauthorized subordination by Tenant shall be void and of no force or effect whatsoever.

 

15.2Attornment. Any sale, assignment, or transfer of Landlord’s interest under this Lease or in the Leased Premises including any such disposition resulting from Landlord’s default under a mortgage, shall be subject to this Lease and also Tenant shall attorn to Landlord’s successor and assigns and shall recognize such successor or assigns as Landlord under this Lease, regardless of any rule of law to the contrary or absence of privities of contract.

 

15.3Financial Information. As a condition to Landlord’s acceptance of this Lease, Tenant shall provide financial information sufficient to verify to Landlord the financial condition of Tenant. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that none of such information contains or will contain any untrue statement of material fact, nor will such information omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading or unreliable. Any financial information provided by Tenant shall be held in confidence and distributed only to Landlord’s investors or lenders for the Leased Premises.

(a)Tenant fails to pay any installment of Basic Annual Rent or Additional Rent or any other sum due hereunder within five (5) business days after such Rent is due; provided, however, that the first (1st) such failure in any twelve (12) month period shall not constitute a Default hereunder if Tenant makes such payment within five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord of such failure, but Tenant shall not be entitled to more than one (1) such written notice during any twelve (12) month period.

 

(b)Tenant fails to perform any other term, condition, or covenant to be performed by it pursuant to this Lease within ten (10) business days after written notice that such performance is due shall have been given to Tenant by Landlord or; provided, if cure of any nonmonetary default would reasonably require more than ten (10) days to complete, if Tenant fails to commence performance within the ten (10) business day period or, after timely commencing, fails to diligently pursue such cure to completion but in no event to exceed sixty (60) days.

 

(c)Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall become bankrupt or insolvent or file any debtor proceedings or have taken against such party in any court pursuant to state or federal statute, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, reorganization, or appointment of a receiver or trustee; or Tenant petitions for or enters into a voluntary arrangement under applicable bankruptcy law; or suffers this Lease to be taken under a writ of execution.

 

16.2Remedies. In the event of any default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may at any time, without waiving or limiting any other right or remedy available to it, terminate Tenant’s rights under this Lease by written notice, reenter and take possession of the Leased Premises by any lawful means (with or without terminating this Lease), or pursue any other remedy allowed by law. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the cost of recovering possession of the Leased Premises, all costs of reletting, and all other costs and damages arising out of Tenant’s default, including attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding any reentry, the liability of Tenant for the rent reserved herein shall not be extinguished for the balance of the Term, and Tenant agrees to compensate Landlord upon demand for any deficiency arising from reletting the Leased Premises at a lesser rent than applies under this Lease.

 

16.3Past Due Sums. If Tenant fails to pay, when the same is due and payable, any Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent, or other sum required to be paid by it hereunder, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Default Interest Rate”). In addition thereto, Tenant shall pay a sum of one percent (1%) of such unpaid amounts of Basic Annual Rent, Additional Rent, or other sum to be paid by it hereunder as a service fee.

Landlord may not in any event raise the rent above 120% of the last month’s rent.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES




 

In the event that at any time during the term of this Lease either Landlord or the Tenant institutes any action or proceeding against the other relating to the provisions of this Lease or any default hereunder, then the unsuccessful party in such action or proceeding agrees to reimburse the successful party for the reasonable expenses of such action including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred therein by the successful party.

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE




 

19.1Landlord’s Right to Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s request, execute and deliver to Landlord a written declaration, in form and substance similar to Exhibit “D”, in recordable form: (1) ratifying this Lease; (2) expressing the Commencement Date and termination date hereof; (3) certifying that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended (except by such writing as shall be stated); (4) that, to the knowledge of Tenant, if true, all conditions  under this Lease to be performed  by Landlord have been satisfied; (5) that, to the knowledge of Tenant, there are no defenses or offsets against the enforcement of this Lease by the Landlord, or stating those claimed by Tenant; (6) the amount of advance rental, if any, (or none if such is the case) paid by Tenant; (7) the date to which rental has been paid; (8) the amount of security deposited with Landlord; and (9) such other information as Landlord may reasonably request.

Landlord shall further have the right to designate the number of parking stalls required by law as “Handicapped Parking” or other similar designation. (For clarity, the 600 parking stalls that Tenant has the right to use will include a reasonable number of the parking stalls reserved for visitors and “Handicapped Parking” or other similar designation.) Automobiles of Tenant and all employees, agents, servants, patients, customers, and other invitees associated with Tenant (“Occupants”) shall be parked only within the Parking Garage. Landlord or its agents shall, without any liability to Tenant or its Occupants, have the right to cause to be removed any automobile that may be wrongfully parked in a prohibited or reserved parking area, and Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, demands, damages and liabilities asserted or arising with respect to or in connection with any such removal of an automobile.

Tenant shall not place or suffer to be placed or maintained on any exterior door, wall, or window of the Leased Premises, or elsewhere in the Building, any sign, awning, marquee, decoration, lettering, attachment, or canopy, or advertising matter or other thing of any kind, and will not place or maintain any decoration, lettering, or advertising matter on the glass of any window or door of the Leased Premises without obtaining the proper authorization from Salt Lake County prior to installing.

XXII.
	
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS




 

22.1No Partnership. Landlord does not by this Lease, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner or joint venture of Tenant in the conduct of its business or otherwise.

22.3No Waiver. Failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the strict performance of any provision or to exercise any option hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach by Landlord or Tenant.

25



 

22.4Notice. Any notice, demand, request, or other instrument which may be or is required to be given under this Lease shall be (i) given by facsimile, (ii) delivered in person or (iii) sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and shall be addressed (a) if to Landlord, at the place specified for payment of rent, and (b) if to Tenant, either at the Leased Premises or at any other current address for Tenant which is known to Landlord.

22.8Broker’s Commissions. Tenant and Landlord represent and warrant to each other that there are no claims for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees in connection with this Lease and agree to indemnify each other against and hold them harmless from all liabilities arising from such claim, including any attorneys’ fees connected therewith.

If there is more than one person or organization set forth on the signature line as the Tenant, their liability hereunder shall be joint and several. If there is more than one Tenant, any notice required or permitted by the terms of this Lease may be given by or to any one thereof, and shall have the same force and effect as if given by or to all thereof. The use of the neuter singular pronoun to refer to Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed a proper reference even though Landlord or Tenant may be an individual, a partnership, a corporation, or a group of two or more individuals or corporation.

22.11Entire Agreement, Etc. This Lease and the Exhibits, Riders, and/or Addenda, if any, attached hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties. All Exhibits, riders, or addenda mentioned in this Lease are incorporated herein by reference. Any prior conversations or writings are merged herein and extinguished. No subsequent amendment to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed. Submission of this Lease for examination does not constitute an option for the Leased Premises and becomes effective as a lease only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord to Tenant. If any provision contained in the rider or addenda is inconsistent with a provision in the body of this Lease, the provision contained in said rider or addenda shall control. The captions and Section numbers appearing herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and are not intended to define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or intent of any section or paragraph.

22.12Governing Law. The interpretation of this Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah. The parties hereto expressly and irrevocably agree that either party may bring any action or claim to enforce the provisions of this Lease in the State of Utah, County of Salt Lake, and each party irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction in the State of Utah for the purposes of any such action or claim. Each party further irrevocably consents to service of process in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the State of Utah.

The Ground Lessor and Tenant shall execute any nondisturbance and attornment agreement that may be reasonably requested by Tenant to memorialize and effectuate the provisions of this Section. This written nondisturbance and attornment agreement may be included in the text of the Ground Lease if Tenant is a named beneficiary of the provision.

CONSTRUCTION AND/OR FINISHING OF

IMPROVEMENTS TO LEASED PREMISES

 

In accordance with the provisions of the body of the Lease to which this Exhibit “C” is attached, the improvements to the Leased Premises shall be constructed and/or finished (as the case may be) in the manner described, and upon all of the terms and conditions contained in the following portion of this Exhibit “C”.

 

I.CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING:

 

A.Landlord agrees to erect at its sole cost and expense, the Building on the Property described in Exhibit “A” in accordance with plans and specifications to be prepared by Landlord and approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as the Approved Building Plans (i) provide for a completely finished building, of a type and quality that is consistent with newly constructed first-class office buildings in the Salt Lake City, Utah area, (ii) provide for the Building to have five floors and contain approximately 125,155 gross rentable square feet, (iii) include site plans showing all driveways, sidewalks, and parking areas that provide approximately 600 parking stalls, landscaping and other site improvements, and (iv) are consistent with the Conceptual Plans attached to the Lease as Exhibit “B”. Tenant shall within seven (7) days after preliminary plans for the Building (the “Preliminary Plans”) are submitted to Tenant, either approve the Preliminary Plans in writing or submit to Landlord a written itemization of all objections which Tenant may have to such plans. If Tenant approves the Preliminary Plans, such plans shall be deemed final. If Tenant submits to Landlord a written itemization of objections to the Preliminary Plans, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to resolve Tenant’s objections to their mutual satisfaction. If Landlord and Tenant are able to resolve all of Tenant’s objections to their mutual satisfaction, then Landlord and Tenant shall each approve the Preliminary Plans as modified to incorporate the resolution of Tenant’s objections. The final and approved Preliminary Plans are referred to herein as the “Approved Building Plans”. The work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to the Approved Building Plans is sometimes referred to herein as “Landlord’s Work”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Approved Plans shall be prepared and approved within a time period necessary for Landlord to complete Landlord’s Work prior to the Target Date defined in the Lease.

 

B.Landlord may require changes in the Approved Building Plans only if Landlord and Tenant sign a change order. The cost of any change orders that are necessary to comply with applicable building codes and other laws shall be borne by Landlord, unless such change orders are necessitated only because of (1) other change orders requested by Tenant; (2) the Tenant Finish Plans; (3) changes to the Tenant Finish Plans; or (4) Tenant’s early occupancy to the Building prior to substantial completion of Landlord’s Work. Any change order shall be effective only when set forth on a written change order executed by Landlord, Tenant, and the General Contractor (as defined below). By approving a change order, Tenant and Landlord shall agree to a delay in the Target Date, as specified in such change order, if any.

32



 

 

C.Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a written list of Tenant’s authorized construction representatives for purposes of this Exhibit “C”. Only such construction representatives are authorized to sign any change order, receipt, or other document on behalf of Tenant, and without the signature of any one of such authorized construction representatives, no such document shall be binding upon Tenant. Tenant may, from time to time, change or add to the list of authorized construction representatives by giving Landlord written notice of the addition or change. Landlord’s authorized representative for purposes of this Exhibit “C” shall be B. Greg Gardner, and until changed by written notice from Landlord to Tenant, only B. Greg Gardner shall be authorized to sign change orders, receipts, or other documents on behalf of Landlord.

 

D.Landlord’s Work shall be performed by a general contractor selected by Landlord (“General Contractor”).

 

E.Landlord will cause General Contractor to provide, at General Contractor’s expense, an Owner’s Protective Liability (OPL) Policy acceptable to Tenant. The Owner’s Protective Liability Policy shall name Myriad Genetics, Inc. as the Named Insured. The policy will be provided by an insurance company rated A, Class XV or better by Best’s Key Rating Guide system. The policy will maintain a limit of liability of not less than five million dollars ($5,000,000.00). Such insurance policy must be in force prior to the commencement of construction operation of any kind. The General Contractor will also insure the Building at General Contractor’s expense during the course of construction in an amount equal to or greater than the value of the construction. Insurance coverage shall be provided by an insurance company rated A, Class XV or better by Best’s Key Rating Guide system. Insurance coverage shall be provided on a coverage form equal to or more comprehensive than Insurance Services Office (U.S.A.) Special form. Such insurance policy must be in force prior to construction operations of any kind.

 

II.TENANT FINISH PLANS:

 

A.Landlord shall build-out and finish the Leased Premises according to Tenant’s Finish Plans (as defined below) at Tenant’s cost and expense. The Building and the Leased Premises shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, with any change orders thereto approved by Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises pursuant to Paragraph C below, and in compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances. The build-out and interior finish work within the Leased Premises shall be in accordance with plans and specifications (“Tenant Finish Plans”) prepared by Landlord’s architect, MHTN Architects (“Architect”). The Tenant Finish Plans shall be prepared in accordance with the time periods set forth to meet the Target Date defined in the Lease. The Target Date shall be extended by any period of Tenant’s delay in providing decisions that need to be made in connection with the preparation of the Final Plans. The work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to the Final Plans is sometimes referred to herein as the “Landlord’s Work”.

 

33



 

B.Landlord shall cause the Architect to prepare the Tenant Finish Plans for the interior improvement of the Building and the Leased Premises as necessary to render the Leased Premises in first-class condition and suitable for the conduct of Tenant’s business (such improvements set forth in the Tenant Finish Plans being referred to herein as the “Tenant Finish”). Landlord shall require the Architect to meet periodically with Tenant in connection with the preparation of the Tenant Finish Plans and, upon Landlord’s approval thereof (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), to incorporate Tenant’s requested features and specifications into the Tenant Finish Plans. Landlord shall submit, subject to any delays caused by Tenant, a complete draft of the Tenant Finish Plans to Tenant by October 1, 2019. Tenant shall within seven (7) days after the Tenant Finish Plans are submitted to Tenant, either approve the plans in writing or submit to Landlord a written itemization of all objections which Tenant may have to the plans. If Tenant approves the Tenant Finish Plans, such plans shall be deemed final. If Tenant submits to Landlord a written itemization of objections to the Tenant Finish Plans, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to resolve Tenant’s objections to their mutual satisfaction. If Landlord and Tenant are able to resolve all of Tenant’s objections to their mutual satisfaction, then Landlord and Tenant shall each approve the Tenant Finish Plans as modified to incorporate the resolution of Tenant’s objections and the plans as so modified shall be deemed final.

 

C.Changes to Plans. After the Tenant Finish Plans are deemed final, the plans shall not be subject to further change except as provided under this Paragraph. If either Landlord or Tenant desires any change to the Tenant Finish Plans after they are deemed final, it shall submit to the other for approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) a proposed change order, in writing, setting forth the change. Thereupon the other party shall either approve the proposed change order or notify the party submitting the proposed change order of its reason for withholding such approval, within two (2) business days after receipt of the proposed change order for approval. Without limiting the reasons for which approval of any proposed change order may be reasonably withheld, approval shall be deemed to have been reasonably withheld if the proposed change (1) would result in additional construction maintenance repair or replacement costs which could not be fully borne by the party proposing the change, (2) would result in a violation of any applicable law, regulation, ordinance, code or the Ground Lease, or (3) in the case of a change proposed by Landlord would materially reduce the usable area of the Building or would materially adversely affect the aesthetics of the Leased Premises or the usability thereof for the conduct of Tenant’s business. Upon approval of any proposed change order pursuant to this Paragraph, Landlord shall cause the Tenant Finish Plans and related construction contracts to be modified or amended as necessary to reflect such change order.

 

D.Landlord’s Construction Responsibilities. Landlord shall be fully responsible for the installation and construction of Tenant Finish, including, without limitation, the following: (1) the obtaining of all building and sign permits, licenses and other approvals required to construct the Tenant Finish; (2) the management and supervision of all architects, contractors, subcontractors and material providers participating in the construction of the Tenant Finish; (3) all necessary coordination with governmental entities having jurisdiction over the Lease Premises and utility companies; (4) enforcement of construction contracts; (5) security with respect to the Leased Premises during the construction period; (6) quality control and inspection of work; (7) construction clean up and refuse disposal; (8) construction timetables and deadlines as necessary to comply with the Lease; (9) compliance with applicable laws, regulations, 

34



 

ordinances and codes; and (10) all other matters relating to the construction of the Tenant Finish, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease. Landlord represents and covenants that upon the completion of the Tenant Finish, the Leased Premises shall conform to the Tenant Finish Plans and shall be in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, and codes, including, without limitation, applicable building codes and environmental laws. Tenant shall be entitled at any time during the construction period to inspect the construction of the Tenant Finish, provided that such inspection does not unreasonably interfere with the construction of the Tenant Finish. No failure of Tenant to conduct such inspections or to discover or assert any defect in connection therewith shall constitute a waiver by Tenant of, or preclude Tenant from thereafter asserting, any rights it may have with respect to any representation, warranty or covenant made by Landlord with respect to the Leased Premises or the Tenant Finish.

 

E.Construction Contracts. Landlord shall act as general contractor with respect to, or install and construct using its own personnel, all or portions of the Tenant Finish, provided, however, Landlord shall contract with and use licensed, qualified and reputable companies or persons for the performance of all such work to the extent Landlord is not licensed and fully qualified to perform the same. Landlord shall be entitled to select all contractors and material providers to perform work with respect to the Tenant Finish which Landlord does not elect to perform directly and to negotiate the terms and conditions of the contracts with such contractors and material providers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may choose its own contractor to perform the Tenant Finish pursuant to this Part II.

 

F.Warranty. Unless Tenant substitutes the contractor pursuant to Paragraph E above, Landlord warrants to Tenant for one (1) year after the Commencement Date of the Lease, that Tenant Finish shall be completed by Landlord in a good and workmanlike manner, free from faulty materials, in accordance with all applicable legal requirements, and sound engineering standards, and in accordance with the Tenant Finish Plans. Such warranty includes, without limitation, the repair or replacement (including labor), for one (1) year at Landlord’s sole cost, of all materials, fixtures and equipment which are defective or which are defectively installed by Landlord or its agents in connection with Landlord’s performance of the Tenant Finish. In addition, Landlord shall obtain manufacturer’s warranties, including, without limitation, for air conditioner, compressors, and the roof of the Building.

 

G.Commencement Date Agreement. When the Commencement Date has been determined, Landlord and Tenant shall execute Exhibit “D” to the Lease expressly confirming the Commencement Date and the expiration date of the term of this Lease and confirming, to the best knowledge of Tenant and Landlord, that substantial completion of Landlord’s Work and the Tenant Finish has occurred.

 

H.Tenant’s Construction Obligations. Tenant shall be fully responsible for the installation of all of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, furnishings or decorations, except to the extent such installation is contemplated or provided for in the Tenant Finish Plans. Landlord shall provide Tenant reasonable access to the Leased Premises for such purposes.
