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.
Occupancy After Foreclosure Any sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof will divest all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to the property sold. Subject to applicable law, any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate possession of the property purchased. If Mortgagor retains possession of such property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Mortgagor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Mortgagor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.
Tenant’s Entry Into the Premises Prior to Substantial Completion Subject to the terms hereof and provided that Tenant and its agents do not interfere with, or delay, Contractor’s work in the Building and the Premises, at Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Contractor shall allow Tenant access to the Premises prior to the Substantial Completion of the Premises for the purpose of Tenant installing any necessary furniture, equipment or fixtures (including Tenant’s data and telephone equipment) in the Premises. Prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises as permitted by the terms of this Section 6.01, Tenant shall submit a schedule to Landlord and Contractor, for their approval, which schedule shall detail the timing and purpose of Tenant’s entry, and Landlord will reasonably cooperate with Tenant to coordinate Landlord’s Contractor’s work of constructing the Tenant Improvements with such access by Tenant for the installation of Tenant’s furniture, equipment and fixtures. In connection with any such entry, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees shall fully cooperate, work in harmony and not, in any manner, interfere with Landlord or Landlord’s Contractor, agents or representatives in performing work in the Building and the Premises, or interfere with the general operation of the Building and/or the Project; and such entry shall be subject to the site management rules of Landlord and Landlord’s Contractor. If at any time any such person representing Tenant shall not be cooperative or shall otherwise cause or threaten to cause any such disharmony or interference, including, without limitation, labor disharmony, and Tenant fails to immediately institute and maintain corrective actions as directed by Landlord, then Landlord may revoke Tenant’s entry rights upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any such entry into and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant or any person or entity working for or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the Lease, excluding only the covenant to pay Rent (until the occurrence of the Lease Commencement Date). Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s work made in or about the Premises in connection with such entry or to any property placed therein prior to the Lease Commencement Date, the same being at Tenant’s sole risk and liability. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any damage to any portion of the Premises, including the Tenant Improvement work, caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, consultants, workmen, mechanics, suppliers and invitees. If the performance of Tenant’s work in connection with such entry causes extra costs to be incurred by Landlord or requires the use of any Building services, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for such extra costs and/or shall pay Landlord for such Building services at Landlord’s standard rates then in effect. In addition, Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify, protect and defend Landlord against any loss or damage to the Building or Premises and against injury to any persons caused by Tenant’s actions pursuant to this Section 6.01.
Ready for Occupancy For purposes of Section 1.3.2 of this Agreement, the Premises shall be deemed “Ready for Occupancy” upon the substantial completion of the Tenant Improvement Work. Subject to Section 4.2 below, the Tenant Improvement Work shall be deemed to be “substantially complete” upon the completion of the Tenant Improvement Work pursuant to the Approved Construction Drawings (as reasonably determined by Landlord), with the exception of any details of construction, mechanical adjustment or any other similar matter the non-completion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.
Tenant’s Work After the Commencement Date, Tenant at its sole cost and expense intends to construct leasehold improvements in the Demised Premises (“Tenant’s Work”) as detailed in the plans and specifications to be prepared by Tenant’s architect (“TI Architect”). Tenant shall be allowed to select a general contractor to perform the Tenant’s Work, provided said general contractor shall be properly licensed, bonded and of a reputation reasonably acceptable to Landlord. An affiliate of Landlord, Minkoff Development Corporation (“MDC”), shall act as Landlord’s construction manager to review plans and oversee construction of the Tenant’s Work by the general contractor. MDC shall receive a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the cost of the Tenant’s Work, which fee shall not exceed $50,000. Tenant shall have the right to submit plans for the Tenant’s Work in stages for portions of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall cause the TI Architect to prepare and deliver to Landlord for Landlord’s or MDC’s review preliminary plans (architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural, if necessary) and specifications for the proposed leasehold improvements (the “Preliminary Plans”). Landlord shall have five (5) business days after its receipt thereof (or such additional time as may reasonably be necessary) to review the Preliminary Plans, request any changes it deems reasonably appropriate, and indicate on the Preliminary Plans which portions of the leasehold improvements are to be removed by Tenant prior to the expiration or termination of the Lease. The TI Architect shall modify the Preliminary Plans to accommodate Landlord’s changes, and resubmit the revised plans (the “Revised Preliminary Plans”) to Landlord for approval. If Tenant or the TI Architect elect not to make said changes to the Preliminary Plans, then Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to perform corresponding restoration work to effect said changes prior to the expiration or termination of the Lease. Upon receipt of Landlord’s approval of the Revised Preliminary Plans, the TI Architect shall prepare a complete set of construction drawings and specifications for the construction of the proposed leasehold improvements (the “Working Drawings”). The Working Drawings shall be in sufficient detail for (i) Tenant’s general contractor to obtain bids from all trades for and to perform the work described on the Working Drawings; (ii) Tenant’s general contractor to secure building permits from the requisite governmental authorities having jurisdiction over same; and (iii) Landlord or MDC to indicate the portion of Tenant’s Work, if any, which Tenant is to remove by expiration or termination of the Lease. The Working Drawings shall conform to and be consistent with the Revised Preliminary Plans and comply with all applicable Laws and Insurance Requirements, as those terms are defined in the Lease. The Working Drawings shall be submitted to MDC for review and approval, which approval (or a request for changes to be made) shall be given within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Within five (5) business days after MDC’s approval of the Working Drawings, as modified by any revisions requested by MDC, Landlord and Tenant shall initial same to confirm their mutual approval thereof (the “Approved Working Drawings ”). The Approved Working Drawings will indicate which portions of the Tenant’s Work, if any, will have to be removed by Tenant prior to the expiration or termination of the Lease, and Tenant will timely comply with such requirement and repair any damage to the Land or the Building caused thereby at its own expense. Tenant will have no obligation to remove any other portion of the Tenant’s Work.
Budget For Tenant Improvements A preliminary detailed breakdown by trade of the costs incurred or that will be incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements is set forth on Schedule 3 attached hereto (the “Budget”). The Budget is based upon the TI Construction Drawings approved by Tenant and shall include a payment to Landlord of administrative rent (“Administrative Rent”) equal to 1.5% of the TI Costs, which Administrative Rent shall include, without limitation, all out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred by or on behalf of Landlord arising from, out of, or in connection with monitoring the construction of the Tenant Improvements and Changes, and shall be payable out of the TI Fund. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a final Budget promptly following approval of the TI Construction Drawings by Landlord and Tenant. The Budget shall be subject to Tenant’s review and approval which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to approve any use of the contingency in the Budget by Landlord; provided, however, that, Tenant’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the contingency shall not be available for use by Tenant for any Changes until all unforeseen conditions, changes to resulting from governmental agencies and the like have first been paid for out of the contingency.
Permits; Certificate of Occupancy Lender shall have received a copy of all Permits necessary for the use and operation of the Property and the certificate(s) of occupancy, if required, for the Property, all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Construction In First Offer Space Tenant shall take the First Offer Space in its “as is” condition, subject to any improvement allowance granted as a component of the Fair Rental Value, and the construction of improvements in the First Offer Space shall comply with the terms of Article 8 of this Lease.
Construction of the Tenant Improvements Landlord shall construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with this exhibit and the construction contract to be executed by Landlord and its contractor(s). The construction contract for constructing the Tenant Improvements and the contractor(s) to perform the work shall be approved and/or selected, as the case may be, by Landlord at its sole and absolute discretion without the consent of Tenant.
Tenant Improvements Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Landlord agrees, at its cost and expense to complete a “turnkey” interior build-out (“Tenant Improvements”) of the Leased Premises in accordance with the conditions stated in the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated hereby pursuant to the Approved Final Plans to be finalized and approved in accordance with the Work Letter and upon approval attached thereto. Any changes or modifications to the Approved Final Plans thereafter must be done in writing and signed by both Tenant and Landlord in accordance with the Work Letter. So long as in accordance with Article 19 of this Lease, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall be entitled to select, in its reasonable discretion and acting in good faith, all architects, engineers, contractors and material suppliers necessary to furnish the labor and materials for the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall be the sole contracting party with respect to the employment of contractors which perform the work necessary to construct the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall not be entitled to access to the Leased Premises prior to the Date of Substantial Completion and Tenant shall not interfere with or impair in any material way the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and any such interference or impairment shall be included within a Tenant Delay as defined in the Work Letter and shall entitle Landlord to all remedies provided herein for breach of this Lease. Prior to the Possession Date, Tenant shall not enter into any contract for construction of any improvements within the Leased Premises with any person other than Landlord without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall obtain and maintain any and all necessary permits and licenses to enable Tenant to conduct Tenant’s Permitted Use, and the failure of Tenant to obtain or maintain same shall not in any manner affect the Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Landlord shall be solely responsible, at its cost and expense, for obtaining all permits and approvals related to the Tenant Improvements.
