Negotiation Period Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any alleged breach hereof, will be subject to binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 7.11. If such a dispute, controversy or claim exists, the parties shall attempt for a 30-day period (the "Negotiation Period") from the date any party gives any one or more of the other parties notice (a "Dispute Notice") pursuant to this Section, to negotiate in good faith, a resolution of the dispute. The Dispute Notice shall set forth with specificity the basis of the dispute. During the Negotiation Period, representatives of each party involved in the dispute who have authority to settle the dispute shall meet at mutually convenient times and places and use their best efforts to resolve the dispute.
Joint Negotiation The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, the parties intend that this Agreement be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and that no presumption or burden of proof arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Agreement Negotiated The Members are sophisticated and have been represented by lawyers throughout the negotiation and execution of this Agreement who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not believe the presumption of California Civil Code Section 1654 and similar laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied in this case and therefore waive its effects.
Commencement Date Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the date (the “Delivery Date”) that Landlord’s Market Ready Improvements described on EXHIBIT C attached hereto and the Tenant Improvements to be completed by Landlord pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT D are substantially completed. For purposes of this Lease, Landlord’s Market Ready Improvements and the Tenant Improvements shall be deemed to be “substantially completed” when Landlord’s Market Ready Improvements and the Tenant Improvements have been completed in accordance with any plans and specifications therefor, subject only to the completion of any minor punch-list items, and the City of Sunnyvale has completed a final inspection of such work and issued a temporary certificate of occupancy or other written approvals permitting legal occupancy of the Premises. The term of this Lease (“Term”) shall be seventy-six (76) months commencing on the date (the “Commencement Date”) which is thirty (30) days from the Delivery Date. If the Delivery Date does not occur on or before May 1, 2018, for any reason other than (i) ArcTec’s failure to complete the Final Plans and Specifications (as such term is defined in the Work Letter attached as EXHIBIT D) and submit such Final Plans and Specifications (and any other documentation required by the City of Sunnyvale for the issuance of a building permit for the Tenant Improvements) to Landlord’s general contractor by January 8, 2018, (ii) the City requiring Landlord to stop construction due to its commencement of the Tenant Improvements before the permits therefor were issued or (iii) delays caused by the acts or omission of Tenant, as defined in Paragraph 3(c) below, then the date Tenant is otherwise obliged to commence payment of Rent shall be delayed by one (1) additional day for each day the Delivery Date is delayed beyond such date.
Base Term Commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, the defined term “Base Term” on page 1 of the Lease is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Termination Period This Option shall be exercisable for three (3) months after Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, unless such termination is due to Participant’s death or Disability, in which case this Option shall be exercisable for twelve (12) months after Participant ceases to be a Service Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in no event may this Option be exercised after the Term/Expiration Date as provided above and this Option may be subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.
Individual Negotiation This Agreement and each Transaction hereunder is subject to individual negotiation by the parties.
Expiration/Termination The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and expire at the end of the period specified in the “Term” Section of the Business Terms Exhibit, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 or extended by mutual written agreement of the parties (the “Term”). Civitas may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Consultant (a) at any time for Cause (as defined below) or (b) at any time after Consultant’s commencement of employment with a 3rd party for greater than twenty (20) hours per week. Consultant may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Civitas. Any expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any obligation of either party that has accrued prior to the effective date of expiration or termination, provided that, if Civitas terminates this Agreement without Cause, then all consulting fees that would have been paid during the Term had Civitas not terminated the Agreement without Cause, shall be paid to Consultant in one lump sum upon the effective date of the termination of this Agreement. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, neither Consultant nor Civitas will have any further obligations under this Agreement, except that (a) Consultant will terminate all Consulting Services in progress in an orderly manner as soon as practicable and in accordance with a schedule agreed to by Civitas, unless Civitas specifies in the notice of termination that Consulting Services in progress should be completed; (b) Consultant will deliver to Civitas all Work Product made through expiration or termination; (c) Civitas will pay Consultant any monies due and owing Consultant under this Agreement and all authorized expenses actually incurred; (d) Consultant will immediately return to Civitas all Civitas Materials and other Confidential Information and copies thereof provided to Consultant under this Agreement; and (e) the terms, conditions and obligations under Sections 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean Consultant’s conviction of, or guilty plea to, a felony, (ii) Consultant’s commission of a fraudulent, illegal or materially dishonest act in connection with Consultant’s engagement by Civitas, as reasonably determined by Civitas’ Board of Directors acting in good faith, or (iii) Consultant’s willful and repeated failure or refusal to attempt to perform Consultant’s duties to Civitas or material breach of this Agreement or any other agreement between Civitas and Consultant.
Rent Commencement Date The "Rent Commencement Date" shall be the date that Tenant first uses the Premises or any portion thereof for any purpose permitted under this lease. In the event this lease pertains to a building or building interior finish to be constructed, the "Rent Commencement Date" shall be the date upon which the buildings and other improvements erected and to be erected upon the premises shall have been substantially completed in accordance with the plans and specifications described on Exhibit "C" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, provided however, that if Landlord shall be delayed in such substantial completion as a result of: (i) Tenant's failure to agree to plans, specifications, and cost estimates, within a reasonable period of time; (ii) Tenant's request for materials, finishes or installations other than Landlord's standard; (iii) Tenant's changes in plans: the commencement date and the payment of rent hereunder shall be accelerated by the number of days of such delay, and provided further that if Landlord cannot substantially complete the premises as a result of any events (i) through (iii) above, Landlord may as its election complete so much of Landlord's work as may be practical under the circumstances and, by written notice to Tenant, establish the commencement date as the date of such partial completion, subject to any applicable accelerations due to delays resulting from events (i) through (iii) above. Taking possession by Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to establish that said buildings and other improvements have been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and that the premises are in good and satisfactory condition, as of when possession was so taken. Tenant acknowledges that no representations as to the repair of the premises have been made by Landlord, unless such are expressly set forth in the lease. After such "Rent Commencement Date" Tenant shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of delivery of the premises. In the event of any dispute as to substantial completion of work performed, execute or required to be performed by Landlord, the certificate of Landlord's architect or general contractor shall be conclusive.
Initial Term This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above (the “Start Date”) and shall continue thereafter throughout the period that ends two (2) years after the Start Date (the “Initial Term”).
