Unless prior written agreement is reached between Tenant and Landlord, any such alterations, additions, improvements or construction shall become part of the Property and shall remain at the expiration of Tenant's Lease term. If Landlord approves of alterations, additions, improvements or construction in writing and Tenant intends to use contractors to undertake such work, the contractors must first be approved in writing by Landlord.

Tenant shall not be required to use union labor as a condition of receiving Landlord's approval hereunder. The Tenant Improvement Plans and Specifications shall be prepared in sufficient detail to allow General Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements. The Tenant shall contract directly with General Contractor for construction of the Tenant Improvements and shall cause the General Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with all Tenant Improvement Plans and Specifications. Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Tenant Improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. The Tenant Improvements (other than Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment and furnishings and other personal property of Tenant that can be removed without permanent damage to the Premises) shall not be removed or altered by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord as provided in Section 7. Tenant shall have the right to depreciate and claim and collect any investment tax credits in the Tenant Improvements during the Lease Term.

SIGNS
Plans and Specifications Tenant shall be solely responsible for the preparation of the final architectural, electrical and mechanical construction drawings, plans and specifications (called “plans”) necessary for Tenant to construct the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, which plans shall be subject to approval by Landlord’s architect and engineers and shall comply with their reasonable requirements to avoid aesthetic or other conflicts with the design and function of the balance of the Building. Landlord’s approval is solely given for the benefit of Landlord, and neither Tenant nor any third party shall have the right to rely upon Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans for any purpose whatsoever other than that Landlord does not object thereto under this Lease. Landlord’s architects and engineers shall respond (with approval or disapproval) to any plan submission by Tenant within 8 business days after Landlord’s receipt thereof. If Landlord fails to respond to any such submission within such 8 business day period, which failure continues for more than 2 business days after Tenant gives Landlord a written notice (the “Deemed Approved Notice”) advising Landlord that such plan submission shall be deemed approved within 2 business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Deemed Approved Notice, then such plan submission shall be deemed approved hereunder. The Deemed Approved Notice shall, in order to be effective, contain on the first page thereof, in a font at least twice as large as the font of any other text contained in such notice, a legend substantially as follows: “FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT HEREOF SHALL CONSTITUTE LANDLORD’S APPROVAL OF SUBMITTED PLANS.” In the event Landlord’s architect’s or engineers’ approval of Tenant’s plans is withheld or conditioned, Landlord shall send prompt written notification thereof to Tenant and include a reasonably detailed statement identifying the reasons for such refusal or condition, and Tenant shall promptly have the plans revised by its architect to incorporate all reasonable objections and conditions presented by Landlord and shall resubmit such plans to Landlord. Landlord’s architects and engineers shall respond (with approval or disapproval) to any plan re-submission by Tenant within 8 business days after Landlord’s receipt thereof. Such process shall be followed until the plans shall have been approved by Landlord’s architect and engineers without unreasonable objection or condition. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with 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), and Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design. Tenant agrees it shall be solely responsible for the timely preparation and submission of all such plans and for all elements of the design of such plans and for all costs related thereto. (The word “architect” as used in this Section 3.2 shall include an interior designer or space planner.) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred in connection with the review of Tenant’s plans.
Initial Improvements Landlord shall cause to be constructed, in a good workmanlike manner, the improvements (the “Initial Improvements”) in the Premises in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Tenant and Landlord (the “Plans”), which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Initial Improvements shall be performed at the Landlord’s cost. Landlord shall cause the Plans to be prepared by a professional architect, and mechanical and electrical engineer(s) and based upon the space plans as shown on Appendix C-1 attached hereto using building standard finishes. Within ten (10) business days after the later to occur of (i) the mutual execution of the Lease or (ii) Tenant’s providing to Landlord the preliminary space plans for the Premises and such other information reasonably required by Landlord to commence preparation of the Plans, Landlord shall furnish the initial draft of the Plans to Tenant for Tenant’s review and approval. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt, either provide comments to such Plans or approve the same. Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such Plans if it does not timely provide comments on such Plans. If Tenant provides Landlord with comments to the initial draft of the Plans, Landlord shall provide revised Plans to Tenant incorporating Tenant’s comments within one (1) week after receipt of Tenant’s comments. Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after receipt, then either provide comments to such revised Plans or approve such Plans. Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such revised Plans if Tenant does not timely provide comments on such Plans. The process described above shall be repeated, if necessary, until the Plans have been finally approved by Tenant and Landlord; provided, however, if Landlord and Tenant cannot, despite using good faith efforts, reach agreement with respect to the Plans by June 15, 2005, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease upon delivery of written notice to the other, whereupon (i) Landlord shall return to Tenant any prepaid Rent and (ii) the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Lease. Landlord hereby agrees that the Plans for the Initial Improvements shall comply with all applicable Governmental Requirements. Once the Plans have been finally approved, Landlord will promptly prepare all necessary construction drawings for the construction of the Initial Improvements. Upon the completion of such construction drawings, Landlord shall submit the same to Tenant for its approval. Tenant shall, within five (5) days after receipt, then either provide comments to such drawings or approve the same. Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such drawings if Tenant does not timely provide comments thereto. If Tenant timely provides any comments to such drawings, Landlord shall revise such drawings and resubmit the same to Tenant for its review and approval. Until such time as Landlord and Tenant mutually approve such construction drawings, the process described above shall be repeated as reasonably necessary, and both Landlord and Tenant agree to act in good faith in order to derive mutually acceptable construction drawings for the construction of the Initial Improvements. Once the Plans and all construction drawings relative thereto have been finalized and approved by Tenant and Landlord, Landlord shall promptly (i) submit the same to the appropriate governmental authorities for the issuance of all necessary building permits, and (ii) select a contractor to perform the construction of the Initial Improvements. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Improvements to be substantially completed, except for mechanical adjustments or minor details of construction (“Punch List Items”), on or before July 1, 2005 (the “Intended Completion Date”), subject to Tenant Delay (as defined in Section 4 hereof) and Force Majeure.
