Tenant Improvements a. Tenant shall cause to be constructed certain tenant improvements (including those listed in Sections 7(e), 7(f) and 7(g) below) in the Additional Premises (“Tenant’s Work”) pursuant to the Work Letter attached as Exhibit E hereto (the “Work Letter”). Landlord shall provide Tenant with an improvement allowance in an amount not to exceed Nine Hundred Five Thousand Five Hundred Thirty-Five Dollars ($905,535) (based upon Forty-Five Dollars ($45) per rentable square foot) (the “TI Allowance”). The TI Allowance may be used to pay for the following costs related to Tenant’s Work: (i) construction, (ii) project oversight by Landlord (which fee shall equal three percent (3%) of the TI Allowance), (iii) space planning, architect, engineering and other related services performed by third parties unaffiliated with Tenant and (iv) building permits and other taxes, fees, charges and levies by Governmental Authorities for permits or for inspections of Tenant’s Work. In no event shall the TI Allowance be used for: (v) payments to Tenant or any affiliates of Tenant, (w) the purchase of any furniture, personal property or other non-building system equipment, (x) the cost of work that is not authorized by the Approved Plans or otherwise approved in writing by Landlord, (y) costs resulting from any default by Tenant of its obligations under the Amended Lease or (z) costs that are recoverable or reasonably recoverable by Tenant from a third party (e.g., insurers, warrantors, or tortfeasors). If the total cost of Tenant’s Work exceeds Forty-Five Dollars ($45) per rentable square foot of the Additional Premises, then Tenant shall pay the overage as and when due. Tenant shall have until December 31, 2008, to expend any unused portion of the TI Allowance, after which date Landlord’s obligation to fund such costs shall expire. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (Y) a certificate of occupancy for the Additional Premises suitable for the permitted use and (Z) a Certificate of Substantial Completion in the form of the American Institute of Architects document G704, executed by the project architect with respect to Tenant’s Work in the Additional Premises.
Landlord’s Work (a) For purposes of this lease, "Landlord's Work" means, collectively, the alterations and improvements to the demised premises to be constructed and/or installed by Landlord in accordance with the terms and conditions of this lease, as more particularly described in Exhibit ________ attached to and hereby made a part of this lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to "Substantially Complete" the Landlord's Work not later than ________, 20________ (the "Substantial Completion Target Date"). For purposes of this lease, Landlord's Work shall be deemed to be "Substantially Complete" as of the date on which the general contractor or the architect employed by Landlord with respect to the construction and/or installation of Landlord's Work shall certify in writing to Landlord that: (i) Landlord's Work has been substantially completed in all material respects substantially in accordance with the approved plans and specifications therefor, if any; and (ii) a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy has been issued by the governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect to Landlord's Work or the governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect to Landlord's Work has otherwise evidenced its approval of Landlord's Work. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant in the event that Landlord shall fail for any reason whatsoever to Substantially Complete Landlord's Work on or before the Substantial Completion Target Date (including, without limitation, for any damages that Tenant may suffer as a result thereof or in connection therewith); provided, however, in such event, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete Landlord's Work as soon as possible thereafter. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete any portions or aspects of Landlord's Work which shall be incomplete as of the date of Substantial Completion of Landlord's Work as soon as possible thereafter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the construction and/or installation of Landlord's Work by Landlord shall not be deemed in any way to constitute a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Commencement Date (as such date is set forth in Paragraph 1.3 of this lease) or to the effectiveness of any of the agreements or obligations of Tenant set forth in this lease with respect to the demised premises (including, without limitation, the commencement of the obligation to pay Rent by Tenant as of the Commencement Date).
Substantial Completion “Substantial Completion” means the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work, or designated portions thereof, may still require minor modifications or adjustments but, in the Owner’s opinion, the Work has progressed to the point such that all parts of the Work under consideration are fully operational and usable for intended purposes, as evidenced by a Certificate of Substantial Completion approved by the Owner. If a Certificate of Occupancy is required by public authorities having jurisdiction over the Work, said certificate shall be issued before the Work or any portion thereof is considered substantially complete. When the Contractor considers that the Work, or a portion thereof which the Owner agrees to accept separately, is substantially complete, the Contractor shall notify Owner’s Designated Representative (sometimes referred to as the “ODR”) and request a determination as to whether the Work or designated portion thereof is substantially complete. If the ODR does not consider the Work substantially complete, the ODR will notify the Contractor giving reasons therefore. Failure on the Owner’s part to list a reason does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. After satisfactorily completing items identified by Owner’s Designated Representative, the Contractor shall then submit another request for the ODR to determine Substantial Completion. If The ODR considers the Work substantially complete, The ODR will prepare and deliver a certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion, shall include a punch list of items to be completed or corrected before final completion and final payment, shall establish the time within which the Contractor shall finish the punch list, and shall establish responsibilities of the Owner and the Contractor for security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the Work, warranty and insurance. Failure to include an item on the punch list does not alter the responsibility of the Contractor to complete all Work in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The certificate of Substantial Completion shall be signed by the Owner and the Contractor to evidence acceptance of the responsibilities assigned to them in such certificate. Substantial Completion (as defined in this agreement) for all stages of the Work shall be achieved on or before the following Substantial Completion date: DATE FOR SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION: TBD Under no circumstances will the time for Substantial Completion exceed this date without a written amendment to this Agreement. THE TIMES SET FORTH IN THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT. TIME LIMITS STATED IN THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS ARE OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
