Building Renovations It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant and has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, Building, or any part thereof and that no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant except as specifically set forth herein or in the Work Letter. However, Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord is currently renovating or may during the Lease Term renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the “Renovations”) the Project, the Building and/or the Premises including without limitation the parking structure, common areas, systems and equipment, roof, and structural portions of the same, which Renovations may include, without limitation, (i) installing sprinklers in the Building common areas and tenant spaces, (ii) modifying the common areas and tenant spaces to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including regulations relating to the physically disabled, seismic conditions, and building safety and security, and (iii) installing new floor covering, lighting, and wall coverings in the Building common areas, and in connection with any Renovations, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the common areas, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord’s actions.
LESSOR'S ACCESS; SHOWING PREMISES; REPAIRS Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or lessees, and making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building, as Lessor may reasonably deem necessary. Lessor may at any time place on or about the Premises or Building any ordinary "For Sale" signs and Lessor may at any time during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs.

Additional Space Commencing on May 1, 2001, Sublessor herein grants unto the Sublessee a Right of First Refusal on any space that shall be and/or becomes available in the building during the remaining Term of this Sublease. Prior to May 1, 2001 and thereafter prior to the first day of May of any calendar year during the remaining Term hereof, Sublessor shall notify Sublessee by written notice of the availability of any such space in the building. Should Sublessee desire to exercise its Right of First Refusal and sublease such available space, Sublessee must notify Sublessor in writing of its desire to sublease the available space within seven (7) calendar days of Sublessee's receipt of Landlord's notice of availability.

Failure by Sublessee to exercise its Right of First Refusal within said seven (7) calendar day period, or if exercised, failure to enter into an amendment of this agreement within thirty (30) days of Sublessor's receipt of Sublessee's notice, shall be deemed a waiver of such right and Sublessor shall thereafter be free of any obligation under this Article 2.04 for a period of 12 months. Any exercise by Sublessee of this Right of First Refusal shall be for a minimum of 5,000 rental square feet.
CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION Construction and renovation projects for a state, local, territorial, or Tribal government’s principal Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as defined by the State Administrative Agency are allowable under the EMPG Program. Written approval must be provided by FEMA prior to the use of any EMPG Program funds for construction or renovation. Requests for EMPG Program funds for construction of an EOC must be accompanied by an EOC Investment Justification (located in the Related Documents tab of the EMPG xxxxxx.xxx posting) to their Regional EMPG Manager for review. Additionally, recipients are required to submit a SF-424C Form and Budget detail citing the project costs. When applying for funds to construct communication towers Sub-Recipients must submit evidence that the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Section 106 review process has been completed and submit all documentation resulting from that review to Grants Program Directorate (GPD) prior to submitting materials for EHP review. Sub-Recipients are also encouraged to have completed as many steps as possible for a successful EHP review in support of their proposal for funding (e.g., coordination with their State Historic Preservation Office to identify potential historic preservation issues and to discuss the potential for project effects, compliance with all state and EHP laws and requirements). Projects for which the Sub-Recipient believes an Environmental Assessment (EA) may be needed, as defined in as defined in DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Revision 01, FEMA Directive 108-1 and FEMA Instruction 108-1-1, must also be identified to the FEMA EMPG Regional Program Manager within six months of the award, and completed EHP review materials must be submitted no later than 12 months before the end of the period of performance. EHP review packets should be sent to xxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx. EMPG Program Sub-Recipients using funds for construction projects must comply with the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3141 et seq.). Grant Sub-Recipients must ensure that their contractors or subcontractors for construction projects pay workers no less than the prevailing wages for laborers and mechanics employed on projects of a character similar to the contract work in the civil subdivision of the state in which the work is to be performed. Additional information regarding compliance with the Xxxxx- Xxxxx Act, including Department of Labor (DOL) wage determinations, is available from the following website: xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/whd/govcontracts/dbra.htm In general, Sub-Recipients should consult with their Grant Manager prior to making any investment that does not clearly meet the allowable expense criteria established in this Guidance.
Construction of the Tenant Improvements Construction or installation of the Tenant Improvements shall be performed by a licensed general contractor or contractors selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “Tenant’s Contractor,” whether one or more), pursuant to a written construction contract negotiated and entered into by and between the Tenant’s Contractor and Tenant and approved by Landlord. Each such contract shall (i) obligate Tenant’s Contractor to comply with all reasonable rules and regulations of Landlord relating to construction activities in the Building, (ii) name Landlord as an additional indemnitee under the provisions of the contract whereby the Tenant’s Contractor holds Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses arising out of or resulting from the performance of such work, (iii) name Landlord as a beneficiary of (and a party entitled to enforce) all of the warranties of the Tenant’s Contractor with respect to the work performed thereunder and the obligation of the Tenant’s Contractor to replace defective materials and correct defective workmanship for a period of not less than one (1) year following final completion of the work under such contract, (iv) evidence the agreement of the Tenant’s Contractor that the provisions of the Lease shall control over the provisions of the contract with respect to distribution or use of insurance proceeds, in the event of a casualty during construction, and (v) evidence the waiver and release by the Tenant’s Contractor of any lien or right to assert a lien on all or any portion of the fee estate of Landlord in and to the Building as a result of the work performed or to be performed thereunder (and obligating the Tenant’s Contractor to include a substantially similar release and waiver provision in all subcontracts and purchase orders entered under or pursuant to the contract). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, union labor shall not be required to be used for construction of the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, Landlord shall be permitted to withhold its consent to a contractor proposed to be utilized by Tenant to the extent such contractor would create a labor dispute at the Building or Project that could impair or affect the Landlord’s ability to operate the Building or otherwise provide the services it is required to provide to its tenants. In the event there is any labor dispute as a result of Tenant’s contractor and such labor dispute is impairing or affecting Landlord’s ability to operate the Building or otherwise provide the services it is required to provide to its tenants, then Tenant shall immediately take such actions as may be required in order to cause such labor dispute to cease. Tenant and its contractors shall be required to comply with the constructions rules and regulations set forth Exhibit B-1 attached hereto (and the Tenant Improvement shall be required to incorporate all design elements set forth in such Exhibit B-1). Tenant acknowledges and understands that all roof penetrations involved in the construction of the Tenant Improvements must be performed by the Landlord’s Building roofing contractor. All costs, fees and expenses incurred with such contractor in performing such work shall be a cost of the Tenant Improvements (which such cost may be payable out of the Landlord’s Construction Allowance), in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit B. Tenant or Tenant’s Contractor shall be responsible for all water, gas, electricity, sewer or other utilities used or consumed at the Premises during the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant specifically agrees to carry, or cause the Tenant’s Contractor to carry, during all such times as the Tenant’s work is being performed, (a) builder’s risk completed value insurance on the Tenant Improvements, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Tenant Improvements, (b) a policy of insurance covering commercial general liability, in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage per occurrence (and combined single limit coverage of $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate), and automobile liability coverage (including owned, non-owned and hired vehicles) in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limit (each person, each accident), and endorsed to show Landlord as an additional insured, and (c) workers’ compensation insurance as required by law, endorsed to show a waiver of subrogation by the insurer to any claim the Tenant’s Contractor may have against Landlord. Tenant shall not commence construction of the Tenant Improvements until Landlord has issued to Tenant a written authorization to proceed with construction after Tenant has delivered to Landlord’s construction representative (i) certificates of the insurance policies described above, (ii) copies of all permits required for construction of the Tenant Improvements and a copy of the permitted Final Plans as approved by the appropriate governmental agency, and (iii) a copy of each signed construction contract for the Tenant Improvements (a copy of each subsequently signed contract shall be forwarded to Landlord’s construction representative without request or demand, promptly after execution thereof and prior to the performance of any work thereunder). All of the construction work shall be the responsibility of and supervised by Tenant.
Landlord’s Contribution Tenant shall be entitled to a landlord contribution toward the cost of preparing the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy and the construction of alterations and improvements therein in the amount of $3,408,910.00 (the “Landlord Contribution”), which shall be applied to the construction of the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the terms of this Work Letter. Provided and on condition that Tenant is not in material default beyond applicable notice and cure periods at the time of application, Tenant shall be entitled to apply any unused portion of the Landlord’s Contribution as a credit against Rent due under the Lease as amended by the Amendment. Tenant is not required to use any portion of the Landlord Contribution toward the Tenant Improvements, and may apply any portion of the Landlord Contribution toward either the Tenant Improvements or toward credit against Rent due under the Lease, at Tenant’s sole discretion. Should Landlord fail to disburse the Landlord Contribution as required herein, Tenant shall have the right to elect, by written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such default, to offset against monetary obligations owed by Tenant under the Lease, as amended by the Amendment, in the amount that Landlord was obligated to but did not disburse. Except as otherwise provided in this Work Letter or Section 4(a) of the Amendment, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Work Letter (i) in a total amount which exceeds the Landlord’s Contribution, or (ii) if Tenant fails to pay any portion of any “Over-Allowance Amount,” as that term is defined in Section 4.2.2 of this Work Letter.
Construction Period During the construction period, Redeveloper agrees to keep the construction area, including completed operations insured against loss or damage by fire, and such other risks, casualties, and hazards as are customarily covered by builders’ risk or extended coverage policies in an amount not less than the replacement value but allowing for reasonable coinsurance clauses and deductibles. In the event of any insured damage or destruction, Redeveloper agrees to use its good faith efforts to commence restoration of the Private Improvements to its prior condition within nine (9) months from the date of the damage or destruction, and shall diligently pursue the same to completion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Qualified Cost Estimate exceeds the Allowance, Tenant shall be entitled to payments with respect to any requisition in accordance with the terms hereof except that each individual disbursement of the Allowance by Landlord shall be in the same ratio to the amount properly requisitioned as the Allowance bears to the Adjusted Qualified Cost Estimate (hereinafter defined). “Adjusted
