Initial Construction Landlord shall fully construct the base Building in accordance with the preliminary base building plans, including, without limitation, floor plans, elevations and site plan(s) (collectively, the "PBBP") and Base Building Outline Specifications attached hereto as Exhibits B-1 and B-2, respectively (all of such work being collectively referred to as the "Landlord's Work"). In the event of differences between the PBBP or the Landlord's Plans (as hereinafter defined) and the Base Building Outline Specifications, the Base Building Outline Specifications shall govern and control until the Landlord's Plans (as hereinafter defined) are prepared. A complete set of final base Building plans and construction drawings and specifications, such drawings and specifications to include a detail schedule of core base Building finish items such as, but not limited to, carpets, doors, hardware, ceiling grids/tiles, lavatory fixtures, light fixtures, window blinds, lobby finishes and paint/wall coverings (collectively, the "Landlord's Plans") shall be prepared by Landlord, at its sole cost and expense. Landlord and Tenant agree to work together with Landlord's architect, Symmes Maini and McKex Xxxociates, Inc. in order to achieve a design that meets the standard set forth below. Furthermore, Landlord agrees to use good faith and diligent efforts to deliver the Landlord's Plans to Tenant on or before May 1, 2000. Upon receipt, Tenant shall have seven (7) business days to comment upon the Landlord's Plans. Landlord and Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the Landlord's Plans as soon thereafter as possible. In reaching agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall each approve portions of the Landlord's Plans that are in acceptable form and shall note their respective objections to the portions that are unacceptable to each of them so as to enable Landlord to continue construction and order materials in a timely manner. In the event that Landlord's Plans conform with the PBBP, but Tenant does not approve the Landlord's Plans within seven (7) business days of receipt thereof from Landlord, then the Outside Delivery Date (as hereinafter defined) shall be extended for a number of days equal to the number of Tenant Plan Delay Days, as such term is hereinafter defined. The number of Tenant Plan Delay Days are defined as and shall be calculated by determining the actual number of days as certified by Landlord and its architect that the Term Commencement Date was delayed by such Tenant's failure to approve the Landlord's Plans within the required seven (7) business days. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with written notice of such determination, such notice to include reasonable detail describing the cause of the delay and the number of Tenant Plan Delay Days as certified by Landlord and its architect. If Tenant and Tenant's Architect (as hereinafter defined)
Construction, Etc Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.
Completion Date Completion date" shall be the date on which the improvements erected and to be erected upon the leased premises shall have been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications described in article 6.00. The completion date shall constitute the commencement of the term of this Lease for all purposes, whether or not Lessee has actually taken possession. Lessor shall use its best efforts to establish the completion date as the date set forth in section 1.03. In the event that the improvements have not in fact been completed as of that date, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing of its objections. Lessor shall have a reasonable time after delivery of the notice in which to take such corrective action as may be necessary and shall notify Lessee in writing as soon as it deems such corrective action has been completed and the improvements are ready for occupancy. Upon completion of construction, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a letter accepting the leased premises as suitable for the purposes for which they are let and the date of such letter shall constitute the commencement of the term of this Lease. Whether or not Lessee has executed such letter of acceptance, taking possession of the leased premises by Lessee shall be deemed to establish conclusively that the improvements have been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications, are suitable for the purposes for which the leased premises are let, and that the leased premises are in good and satisfactory condition as of the date possession was so taken by Lessee, except for latent defects, if any.

Landlord’s failure to Substantially Complete the Landlord Work by the Target Commencement Date shall not be a default by Landlord or otherwise render Landlord liable for damages. Promptly after the determination of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a commencement letter agreement in the form attached as Exhibit D. If the Termination Date does not fall on the last day of a calendar month, Landlord and Tenant may elect to adjust the Termination Date to the last day of the calendar month in which Termination Date occurs by the mutual execution of a commencement letter agreement setting forth such adjusted date. The Landlord Work shall be deemed to be “Substantially Complete” on the date that all Landlord Work has been performed, other than any details of construction, mechanical adjustment or any other similar matter, the non-completion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. If Landlord is delayed in the performance of the Landlord Work as a result of the acts or omissions of Tenant, the Tenant Related Parties (defined in Section 13) or their respective contractors or vendors, including, without limitation, changes requested by Tenant to approved plans, Tenant’s failure to comply with any of its obligations under this Lease, or the specification of any materials or equipment with long lead times (a “Tenant Delay”), the Landlord Work shall be deemed to be Substantially Complete on the date that Landlord could reasonably have been expected to Substantially Complete the Landlord Work absent any Tenant Delay.
Substantial Completion The Tenant Improvements shall be deemed to be “Substantially Completed” on the date that (i) the Tenant Improvements are essentially and satisfactorily completed in accordance with the Final Plans to the extent that the Leased Premises may be occupied by Tenant for its Approved Use, subject only to completion of minor finishing, adjustment of equipment, and other minor construction aspects (“punch list items”) which do not, in the aggregate, cause interference (other than minor inconvenience) with the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises for the Approved Use, and (ii) a certificate of occupancy, whether conditional or final, has been issued by the proper governmental authority. Landlord shall give Tenant at least 30 days prior notice (written or oral) of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the date of Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall schedule with Landlord a mutually acceptable date, which will not be later than 3 business days after the date of Substantial Completion (but in no event earlier than the Landlord’s estimated date of Substantial Completion), for a walk-through inspection of the Leased Premises. In such walk-through, Landlord and Tenant will mutually and reasonably agree upon a punch list, and subject to Tenant Delay, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to cause such punch list work to be completed within 30 days after such walk-through. Landlord hereby warrants to Tenant, which warranty shall survive for one year following the date of Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, that (a) the materials and equipment furnished by Landlord and Landlord’s contractors in the completion of the Tenant Improvements will be of good quality and new, and (b) such materials and equipment and the work of such contractors shall be free from defects not inherent in the quality required or permitted hereunder. This warranty shall exclude damages or defects caused by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, improper or insufficient maintenance, improper operation or normal wear and tear under normal usage. Landlord shall use diligent and good faith efforts to cause the Tenant Improvements for the Fifth Floor Premises to be Substantially Completed by November 1, 2018. Subject only to Force Majeure (as defined in §11 hereof) and Tenant Delay, and provided that Landlord, using good faith efforts, obtains all required construction permits for the Tenant Improvements (the “Construction Permits”) by not later than June 30, 2018, then in the event that Landlord fails to cause the Tenant Improvements for the Fifth Floor Premises to be Substantially Completed on or before December 1, 2018, (the “Fifth Floor Substantial Completion Date”), Tenant shall be entitled to a day-for-day credit of Base Rent due as of the Commencement Date, for each day after the Fifth Floor Substantial Completion Date that the Tenant Improvements for the Fifth Floor Premises are not Substantially Completed; provided, however, that, for every day of delay which results from a Tenant Delay or a Force Majeure, the Fifth Floor Substantial Completion Date shall be moved back on a day-for-day basis. Such day-for-day credit of Base Rent shall commence upon the Commencement Date and shall continue until applied in full; provided that at no time may Tenant offset more than 50% of the Base Rent amount due each month until such abatement has been completed. Landlord shall use diligent and good faith efforts to cause the Tenant Improvements for the Fourth Floor Premises to be Substantially Completed by February 1, 2019. Subject only to Force Majeure (as defined in §11 hereof) and Tenant Delay, and provided that Landlord, using good faith efforts, obtains all required construction permits for the Tenant Improvements (the “Construction Permits”) by not later than June 30, 2018, then in the event that Landlord fails to cause the Tenant Improvements for the Fourth Floor Premises to be Substantially Completed on or before March 1, 2019, (the “Fourth Floor Substantial Completion Date”), Tenant shall be entitled to a day-for-day credit of Base Rent due as of the Commencement Date, for each day after the Fourth Floor Substantial Completion Date that the Tenant Improvements for the Fourth Floor Premises are not Substantially Completed; provided, however, that, for every day of delay which results from a Tenant Delay or a Force Majeure, the Fourth Floor Substantial Completion Date shall be moved back on a day-for-day basis. Such day-for-day credit of Base Rent shall commence upon the June 1, 2019, and shall continue until applied in full; provided that at no time may Tenant offset more than 50% of the Base Rent amount due each month until such abatement has been completed. Subject only to Force Majeure and Tenant Delay, and provided that Landlord, using good faith efforts, obtains all required Construction Permits by not later than June 30, 2018, if the Tenant Improvements for the Leased Premises are not Substantially Completed on or before April 1, 2019 (“Outside Completion Date”), then Tenant shall have the one-time right by not later than 10 days after the Outside Completion Date to terminate this lease by delivering written notice to Landlord, which notice shall be hand delivered to 0000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xx., and upon hand delivery of such termination notice to said address, this lease shall be deemed null and void and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except those that specifically survive the expiration or earlier termination of this lease. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant’s damages as a result of Landlord’s failure to cause the Tenant Improvements for the Fifth Floor Premises to be Substantially Completed by not later than the Fifth Floor Substantial Completion Date or the Fourth Floor Premises to be Substantially Completed by not later than the Fourth Floor Substantial Completion Date are difficult to ascertain, that such amounts set forth above are a reasonable pre-estimate of Tenant’s probable loss as a result thereof and that such damages constitute reasonable liquidated damages for Tenant’s loss and not a penalty.
Construction Period The term “Construction Period” shall mean the period from the date of this Lease to the date that Landlord completes construction of the Landlord’s Work (including any “Additional Base Building Items”, as defined in Section 3(f) of the Tenant Work Letter), and Common Areas, regardless of the occurrence of any Tenant Delay and without regard to the effect of any provision of this Lease pursuant to which the Premises are deemed to be Ready for Occupancy in advance of its actual occurrence.
