reasonable out-of-pocket costs in reviewing plans and specifications and for monitoring construction. Promptly after Tenant’s written request, Landlord agrees to provide a good faith estimate of such out of pocket costs prior to incurring such costs (and shall not incur such costs if Tenant gives notice to Landlord that Tenant is withdrawing its request for such Tenant-Made Alterations). Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to see that such plans and specifications or construction comply with Legal Requirements. Tenant shall cause, at its expense, all Tenant-Made Alterations to: (a) be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord using only good grades of materials, and (b) comply with Landlord’s insurance and Legal Requirements. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the names and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials, prior to beginning such construction, and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall cause its contractor to provide certificates of insurance for worker’s compensation, including a waiver of subrogation in favor of the Landlord Parties, and commercial general liability in an amount equal to USD$2,000,000 from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord, including a provision of additional insured status for the Landlord Parties, from any contractor completing work on Tenant-Made Alterations. Upon completion of any Tenant-Made Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all final lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors. Upon surrender of the Premises all Tenant-Made Alterations and any leasehold improvements constructed by Landlord or Tenant shall remain on the Premises as Landlord’s property, except to the extent Landlord requires removal, in which case, at Tenant’s expense, Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal. Upon Tenant’s prior written request, Landlord shall provide Tenant a list of which Tenant-Made Alterations Landlord will require Tenant to remove upon surrender of the Premises.
At any time during the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to notify Landlord of its desire to expand the size of the Building by up to 33,000 square feet. In such event, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to reach an agreement on such Building expansion, which such terms shall be approved by each party in such party’s sole discretion. The terms of any such Building expansion shall be memorialized by the parties in an amendment to this Lease.
Without Landlord’s prior approval, Tenant may erect shelves, racking, bins, machinery and trade fixtures (collectively “Trade Fixtures”) in the Premises provided that such items do not overload the Premises, may be removed without damaging the floor slab or the Premises, and installation thereof complies with all Legal Requirements. Such Trade Fixtures shall remain the sole property of Tenant and upon surrender of the Premises Tenant shall remove its Trade Fixtures and shall repair any damage to the floor slab or the Premises caused by such removal.
Subject to Landlord’s approval of the final plans and specifications for same as contemplated in the following paragraph, Landlord hereby approves those certain Tenant-Made Alterations to be completed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph and in accordance with the preliminary scope related thereto as described on Exhibit H (“Initial TI Work”).
Following the Effective Date, Tenant shall provide Landlord with final plans and specifications for the construction of such Initial TI Work (“Plans”). Within ten (10) business days of receipt of such Plans, Landlord shall either approve such Plans or provide a list of requested changes or deficiencies with respect to such Plans. If Landlord fails to respond within such ten (10) business day period, Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of such failure (“second notice”). In the event Landlord fails to respond to the Plans within five (5) business days of such second notice, such Plans shall be deemed approved. If Landlord provides a list of deficiencies with respect to such Plans, Tenant shall revise and resubmit such Plans for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The foregoing iterative process (and timing) shall continue until Landlord and Tenant approve the Plans. Throughout the approval process, each party shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to cooperate with the other and the other’s architect and professionals in responding to questions or requests for information or submissions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and provided that no Event of Default exists or would exist but for the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, Landlord shall contribute up to a maximum amount of $94,500.00 (the “TI Allowance”), towards the Initial TI Work which can be capitalized by Landlord (as opposed to repairs and maintenance to the Premises). Tenant may request the TI Allowance be paid in increments of not less than $20,000.00 (subject to the final request being in a lesser amount), which each such increment shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within 30 days following (i) a written request from Tenant setting forth the portion of the TI Allowance being requested, (ii) completion of the portion of the Initial TI Work corresponding to the requested TI Allowance amounts, as completion of such work is reasonably determined by Landlord’s construction manager, (iii) Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s invoice from Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors (“Tenant’s Contractors”) substantiating the costs related thereto, and (iv) Landlord’s receipt of conditional lien waivers from all Tenant’s Contractors who did work on the portion of the Initial TI Work for which Tenant is requesting a TI Allowance payment. Landlord shall be entitled to withhold the final $10,000 of the TI Allowance, which shall be released upon receipt of (A) a final Tenant invoice substantiating the final costs related to the Initial TI Work, and (B) final and unconditional lien waivers from Tenant’s Contractors who did work on the Initial TI Work. Landlord shall be under no obligation to pay for any Initial TI Work in excess of the TI Allowance. Further, such TI Allowance shall only be available for Tenant’s use through December 31, 2022, and Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to any unused portion of the TI Allowance remaining thereafter unless Landlord and Tenant agree in writing to extend such deadline; provided that such date shall be extended on a day for day basis as a result of delays caused by Force Majeure.
