WORK LETTER
TO
SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE BUILDING LEASE
BETWEEN
TURTLE CREEK XXXXX, XX
AND
STUDY ISLAND, LLC, D/B/A STUDY ISLAND TEXAS, LLC
TO
SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE BUILDING LEASE
BETWEEN
TURTLE CREEK XXXXX, XX
AND
STUDY ISLAND, LLC, D/B/A STUDY ISLAND TEXAS, LLC
This Rider sets forth the respective obligations of, and the procedures to be followed by,
Landlord and Tenant in the design and construction of those improvements that will prepare the
Second Expansion Premises described in Exhibit A of this Amendment for Tenant’s use and occupancy.
1. The Work.
The “Work” will consist of leasehold improvements described in the floor plan and
specifications attached to this Amendment as Rider 2 (“Final Plan”).
A. From the Final Plan, Landlord will cause Landlord’s architects and/or engineers, to
prepare any required engineering and architectural drawings and specifications (all such
engineering and architectural drawings and specifications are referred to collectively as the
“Preliminary Working Drawings”), and will submit the same to Tenant for Tenant’s written approval.
Tenant will not unreasonably withhold approval of the Preliminary Working Drawings, and will have
no right to withhold approval if the Preliminary Working Drawings are substantially consistent
with the Final Plan. Failure by Tenant to deliver written objections to Landlord within five (5)
days after receipt of the Preliminary Working Drawings will be deemed to be approval of same. Any
disapproval by Tenant must include specific suggestions for making the same acceptable. If Tenant
disapproves the Preliminary Working Drawings, Landlord will have the Preliminary Working Drawings
revised to incorporate Tenant’s reasonable suggestions and objections, which suggestions and
objections will be binding upon Tenant and may be relied upon by Landlord in revising the Working
Drawings. Preliminary Working Drawings which are approved in the foregoing manner will become
Final Working Drawings.
B. Landlord will pay all costs and fees incurred in connection with preparation of the Final
Plan and Preliminary and Final Working Drawings needed to implement the Work and construction of
the leasehold improvements as described in the Final Working Drawings up to a cost of $15.00 per
square foot of Rentable Area in the Second Expansion Premises (which cost shall include a
construction management fee of 5% of all construction costs) (“Tenant’s Allowance”). Tenant will
pay all costs and fees incurred in connection with preparation of plans and working drawings or
construction resulting from a change requested by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Rider and
any amount in excess of $15.00 per square foot of Rentable Area in the Second Expansion Premises
incurred by Landlord in connection with the design and construction of the Work (collectively,
“Tenant’s Cost”). Tenant’s Cost hereunder will be deemed additional rent under the Lease.
2. Changes.
A. If Tenant desires any changes, alterations or additions to the Final Plan or the Final
Working Drawings, Tenant must submit a detailed written request to Landlord (“Change Order”). If
reasonable and practicable and generally consistent with the Final Plan or Working Drawings
previously approved, Landlord will comply with the Change Order, but all costs in connection
therewith, including without limitation any additional plans, drawings and engineering reports or
opinions or modifications of such existing items, will be paid for by Tenant. Landlord may at any
time reasonably estimate Tenant’s Cost for a Change Order, in advance, and, Tenant will deposit the
estimated amount with Landlord within ten (10) days after requested by Landlord. If such estimated
amount exceeds the actual amount of Tenant’s Cost, Tenant will receive a refund of the difference,
and if the actual amount exceeds the estimated amount, Tenant will pay the difference to Landlord
within ten (10) days after requested by Landlord. If any additional plans, drawings or
specifications, or modifications of such items, are required to construct a Change Order, the same
will be prepared (at Tenant’s cost by Landlord’s architect) and approved in the manner described
above. Under no circumstances will any Change Orders serve to xxxxx the rentals under the Lease.
3. Substantial Completion.
A. Landlord will be deemed to have “substantially completed” the Work for the purposes
thereof if Landlord has caused all of the Work to be completed substantially except for so called
“punchlist items,” e.g., minor details of construction or decoration or mechanical adjustments
which do not substantially interfere with Tenant’s occupancy of the Second Expansion Premises to
be made by Tenant. If there is any dispute as to whether Landlord has substantially completed the
Work, the good faith decision of Landlord’s architect will be final and binding on the parties.
B. If Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that the Work is substantially completed, and
Tenant fails to object thereto in writing within seven (7) days thereafter specifying in
reasonable detail the items of Work needed to be performed in order for substantial completion,
Tenant will be deemed conclusively to have agreed that the Work is substantially completed, for
purposes of commencing rental under the Lease.
C. Substantial completion will not prejudice Tenant’s rights to require full completion of
any remaining items of Work. However, if Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that the Work is
fully completed, and Tenant fails to object thereto in writing within fifteen (15) days thereafter
specifying in reasonable detail the items of work needed to be completed and the nature of work
needed to complete said items, Tenant will be deemed conclusively to have accepted the Work as
fully completed (or such portions thereof as to which Tenant has not so objected).
4. Construction.
A. Landlord reserves the right to substitute comparable or better materials and items for
those shown in the attached plans and specification and Working Drawings.
B. Tenant will be solely responsible for determining whether or not Tenant is a public
accommodation under The Americans with Disabilities Act and Texas Architectural Barriers Act and
whether or not the Final Working Drawings comply with such laws and the regulations thereunder.
5. Liability.
The parties acknowledge that Landlord is not an architect or engineer, and that the Work will
be designed and performed by independent architects, engineers and contractors. Accordingly,
Landlord does not guarantee or warrant that the plans or Workings Drawings will be free from
errors or omissions, nor that the Work will be free from defects, and Landlord will have no
liability therefor. In the event of such errors, omissions, or defects, Landlord will cooperate in
any action Tenant desires to bring against such parties.
6. Incorporation Into Lease: Default.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS RIDER ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED BY THIS REFERENCE
INTO THE LEASE FULLY AS THOUGH SET FORTH THEREIN. In the event of any express inconsistencies
between the Lease and this Rider, the latter will govern and control. Any default by Tenant
hereunder will constitute a default by Tenant under the Lease and Tenant will be subject to the
remedies and other provisions applicable thereto under the Lease.
