  • Additional Improvements Common Area Operating Expenses shall not include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor's records and work sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Industrial Center by other lessees or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other lessees. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.1 hereof, Lessee shall, however, pay to Lessor at the time Common Area Operating Expenses are payable under Paragraph 4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed solely by reason of Alterations, Trade Fixtures or Utility Installations placed upon the Premises by Lessee or at Lessee's request.

  • Initial Improvements It is currently contemplated that Tenant will construct prior to September 1, 2003, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, one or more Buildings, and all on and off site work, including landscaping (collectively referred to as "Initial Improvements"). The Initial Improvements, if constructed, shall in all events comply with the requirements of the PCP Permit ultimately issued by the City of Mountain View ("PCP"). Landlord hereby approves, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant's construction of the Initial Improvements so long as the exterior components thereof are generally in conformity with the PCP as such PCP is ultimately issued by the City of Mountain View. If Tenant desires to make any material changes to the exterior design of the Initial Improvements, then prior to submitting any application for amendment of the PCP to the City of Mountain View, Tenant shall deliver such proposed amendment to Landlord for Landlord's review and approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any such disapproval must be in writing stating with particularity the reasons for such disapproval and the actions Tenant may take to modify such proposal in a manner that Landlord would approve. Landlord's failure to deliver such written disapproval within five (5) business days after Tenant has delivered such request for approval to Landlord shall be deemed Landlord's approval of such proposed amendment to the PCP. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant as reasonably requested by Tenant with respect to any required governmental approvals, including, without limitation, any application for amendment of the PCP, in connection with the Initial Improvements, including the signing of any reasonable applications or requests which are required to be signed by the owner of the Project in order to obtain required approvals, provided that Landlord shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses or liability in connection therewith. Without limiting Landlord's discretion concerning its approval rights as to any amendments to the PCP that Tenant may reasonably request, the parties agree that (i) Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent, design or seek governmental approvals to construct more than 120,000 square feet of floor area (calculated as square footage is calculated by the City of Mountain View pursuant to the City of Mountain View Shoreline West Precise Plan) within the Initial Improvements, and (ii) the general design of the Initial Improvements shall be reasonably compatible, as reasonably determined by Landlord, with the design of the buildings to be constructed on the 13.48 acre parcel of property located on the opposite side of Amphitheater Parkway from the Project. Promptly following completion of the Initial Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord as built drawings thereof on original sepia drawn to 1/8" scale, prepared at Tenant's sole cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to substantially complete construction of the Initial Improvements on or before September 1, 2003, then Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant delivered at any time after such date and prior to substantial completion of the Initial Improvements, elect to terminate this Lease, which termination shall be effective ninety (90) days following the date of delivery of such written notice to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if Tenant substantially completes the construction of the Initial Improvements prior to the expiration of such ninety-day period, then such termination notice shall be deemed rescinded, and (ii) if Tenant delivers to Landlord an Exercise Notice of the Purchase Option to purchase the Premises as contemplated in Paragraph 34 of this Lease, prior to the expiration of such 90-day period, then such termination notice shall be deemed suspended until the date upon which the closing pursuant to the Purchase Option is scheduled to occur under the terms of this Lease. If Tenant thereafter fails to perform its obligations under the Purchase Option after Tenant's delivery of the Exercise Notice for any reason other than Landlord's failure to perform its obligations with respect to the Purchase Option, then the termination notice earlier delivered to Tenant by Landlord shall be deemed reinstated, effective as of the business day following the scheduled date for such closing which did not occur.

  • Capital Improvements The Department has identified the following possible opportunities for Capital Improvements:

  • Tenant Improvement Plans Any work proposed by Tenant (the “Tenant Improvements”) shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable prior approval and shall be subject to the other terms and conditions of this Exhibit C; provided that it will be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its approval or consent (as and when applicable under this Exhibit C) if Landlord’s Mortgagee has not consented to the matter that is the subject of such approval or consent. All architectural, engineering and other design fees shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall use its architect, engineers and other design professionals, all of whom shall comply with any applicable licensing or governmental requirements of the City of Seattle and the State of Washington; Tenant’s architect shall be approved by Landlord (“Tenant’s Architect”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall also be entitled to receive a copy of the agreement between Tenant and Tenant’s Architect (the “Architect Agreement”). Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to prepare a draft space plan (the “Space Plan”) for the Tenant Improvements and shall submit the proposed Space Plan to Landlord for the latter’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) in a time period to allow Tenant to timely complete its Tenant Improvements under this Lease. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any written objections, questions or comments of Landlord with regard to the Space Plan within ten (10) business days of receipt; Landlord’s consent thereto shall be deemed given if not denied in writing within said ten (10) business day period. If Landlord denies its approval, it shall specify the reasons for doing so in detail. Tenant shall cause the Space Plan to be revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said Space Plan to Landlord for approval. Such process shall continue until Landlord has approved the Space Plan. Tenant’s Architect shall then prepare working drawings and specifications for the Tenant Improvements, including architectural, structural, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and fire protection drawings as required, suitable for permit application (the “Working Drawings”) and shall submit the proposed Working Drawings to Landlord for the latter’s approval in a time period to allow Tenant to timely complete its Tenant Improvements under this Lease. The Space Plan and Working Drawings shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which Landlord agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Landlord shall not be deemed to have acted unreasonably if it withholds its approval thereof because, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the work, as described in any such item: (i) is likely to adversely affect Building Systems, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building and/or their occupants; (ii) might impair Landlord’s ability to furnish services to Tenant or other tenants in the Building; (iii) would materially increase the cost of operating the Building; (iv) would violate any governmental laws, rules or ordinances (or interpretations thereof); (v) contains or uses hazardous or toxic materials or substances; (vi) would negatively affect the appearance of the Building; (vii) is reasonably likely to adversely affect another tenant’s premises; or (viii) is prohibited by any ground lease affecting the Building or any mortgage, trust deed or other instrument encumbering the Building. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any written objections, questions or comments of Landlord with regard to the Working Drawings, within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Working Drawings; Landlord’s consent thereto shall be deemed given if not denied in writing within said ten (10) business day period. If Landlord denies its approval, it shall specify the reasons for doing so in detail. Tenant shall cause the Working Drawings to be revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said Working Drawings to Landlord for approval. Landlord may, when approving the Tenant Improvement Plans, elect to require Tenant to remove any Non-Standard Improvements which are made to the Premises. If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall, at its own cost, restore the Premises to the condition designated by Landlord in its election, before the last day of the Term. Such process shall continue until both parties have approved the Working Drawings. Landlord’s approval of the Space Plan and/or the Working Drawings shall not be deemed any representation or warranty that the same comply with applicable codes.
