No Liability. Landlord has previously provided to Tenant a set of the Building Plans. Tenant’s Architect shall be responsible for performing all necessary field measurements and confirming the completeness and accuracy of such drawings. Landlord’s sole interest in reviewing and approving the Space Plan, the Preliminary Plans and Final Working Drawings is to protect the Building and Landlord’s interests, and no such review or approval by Landlord shall be deemed to # create any liability of any kind on the part of Landlord, including, but not limited to, liability for design, engineering or fitness for a particular purpose, or # constitute a representation on the part of Landlord or any person consulted by Landlord in connection with such review and approval that the Space Plan, the Preliminary Plans or Final Working Drawings are correct or accurate, or are in compliance with any Applicable Laws or the requirements of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring # that all elements of the design of the Final Working Drawings comply with Applicable Laws and are otherwise suitable for Tenant’s use of the Premises, and # that no Tenant Improvement impairs any Base Building Systems or Landlord’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Lease, and Landlord’s approval of the Final Working Drawings shall not relieve Tenant from such responsibility. Further, if Landlord incurs any cost as a result of any failure of the Final Working Drawings to comply with Applicable Laws or as a result of any impairment of any Base Building Systems or of Landlord’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Lease resulting from any defect in the Final Working Drawings, then Tenant, upon written notice and request from Landlord, shall, at Landlord’s option, either # assign to Landlord any right Tenant may have under the Design Professional Agreements (defined below) to recover such cost from Tenant’s Architect and/or Engineers, as the case may be, or # at Tenant’s expense, use reasonable efforts to enforce such right directly against Tenant’s Architect and/or Engineers, as the case may be, for Landlord’s benefit. As used herein, “Design Professional Agreements” means the agreements between Tenant and Tenant’s Architect and Engineers pursuant to which the Approved TI Construction Drawings have been or will be prepared.

Tenant Improvements Defined. As used herein, “Tenant Improvements” shall mean all improvements to the Premises of a fixed and permanent nature as shown on the Tl Construction Drawings, as defined in [Section 2(c)] below. Other than Landlord’s Work (as defined in Section 3(a) below), Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever with respect to the finishing of the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that a portion of the Premises, as reflected in the Space Plan, will not be improved as part of the Tenant Improvements as Tenant has indicated that it does not require that such portion of the Premises be improved in connection with its operations in the Premises. Upon request from Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice of planned meetings regarding the design and construction of the tenant improvements. Tenant shall have a right to have a representative present for all design and construction meetings relating to the Tenant Improvements.

Approved TI Plans: Plans and specifications prepared by the applicable Architect for the Tenant Improvements and approved by Landlord and Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 2 of this Tenant Work Letter, subject to further modification from time to time to the extent provided in and in accordance with such Paragraph 2.

Third Floor Alterations. Tenant has advised Landlord that Tenant desires to perform certain alterations to the Third Floor Additional Premises prior to commencing business therein, other than the work required by this Amendment to be performed by Landlord (the “Third Floor Alterations”). Prior to commencing construction of the Third Floor Alterations, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, for Landlord’s reasonable approval, working drawings that # show the lay-out of the alterations and finishes, # separately note any proposed structural work or extraordinary electrical, plumbing or HVAC requirements, # conform to Landlord’s base building requirements and construction requirements then applicable to the Building (the “Condition of Construction”) and applicable building codes and other local, state or federal law, ordinance, rule, regulation, code, or order of any governmental entity or insurance requirements (collectively, “Legal Requirements”), and # are in sufficient detail as to enable the selected contractor to obtain all necessary governmental permits for commencement of the Third Floor Alterations and to secure complete bids from qualified contractors to perform the work. (Landlord will, at Tenant’s request, review any interim space plans, prior to Tenant’s completion of the aforementioned working drawings.) The working drawings, as approved in writing by Tenant and Landlord, are hereinafter called the “Final Plans.” Any subsequent revisions to the Final Plans shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

EXHIBIT # -1- (k) Tenant Improvements: The improvements to or within the Building shown on the Approved TI Plans from time to time and to be constructed by Landlord pursuant to the Lease and this Tenant Work Letter. The term "Tenant Improvements" does not include the improvements existing in the Building and Premises on the Effective Date.

Tenant Lobby Furnishings. Tenant may notify Landlord in writing, on or before , if Tenant elects to include any of the lobby reception desk, furniture or furnishings within the Tenant Improvements and exclude any of the foregoing items from the Base Building ImprovementsTenant Takeover Lobby Furnishings”). If Tenant elects to provide or construct any Tenant Takeover Lobby Furnishings as part of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall provide an allowance (in addition to the Tenant Improvement Allowance) to fully reimburse Tenant for its costs incurred in connection with the Tenant Takeover Lobby Furnishings in an amount equal to the corresponding costs of such items included in Landlord’s budget for the Base Building Improvements (“Additional Lobby Allowance”). Such Tenant Takeover Lobby Furnishings shall be included in the Preliminary Plans and Final Working Drawings, as and to the extent applicable, submitted to Landlord for approval pursuant to [Section 2.2] and the disbursement of the Additional Lobby Allowance shall be subject to the same conditions set forth in [Section 6.5] with respect to the disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance

Fees. Landlord will not charge Tenant a supervision, coordination or administrative fee in connection with construction of the Tenant Improvement Work, provided that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in reviewing the Space Plan, the Preliminary Plans, the Final Working Drawings and Plan Modifications, as set forth in [Section 2.2.7].

Construction of Landlord's TI Work. Following completion of the Approved TI Plans, Landlord shall apply for and use reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to allow construction of all Tenant Improvements; provided, however, at Tenant’s reasonable request, Landlord shall submit an earlier set of plans for plan check while the parties work to obtain the Approved TI Plans. Upon receipt of such permits and approvals, Landlord shall, at Tenant's expense (subject to Landlord's payment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and, to the extent requested by Tenant, the Additional TI Allowance), construct and complete the Tenant Improvements substantially in accordance with the Approved TI Plans, subject to Unavoidable Delays and Tenant Delays (if any). Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Tenant Improvements on or before May 15, 2023, subject to Unavoidable Delays and Tenant Delays (if any). Such construction of the Tenant Improvements and Landlord’s Work shall be performed in a neat, good and workmanlike manner, free of defects, using new materials and equipment of good quality, and shall materially conform to all applicable laws, rules, regulations, codes, ordinances, requirements, covenants, conditions and restrictions applicable thereto in force at the time such work is completed. Landlord shall cause Hathaway Dinwiddie (so long as obtaining such bid does not delay the completion of Landlord’s TI Work), Landmark Builders, Dome Construction, XL Construction and any other potential general contractors requested by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord to bid on general conditions and fee for construction of the Tenant Improvements. All bids will be opened together with Tenant selecting the general contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements, subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord. Tenant shall have the right to value engineer the proposed Tenant Improvements before the final bid is selected. Tenant shall also have the right to approve all subcontractors engaged by the General Contractor, which subcontractors shall be competitively bid, and which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall enter into a stipulated sum or guaranteed maximum price construction contract with the General Contractor as selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord in the amount of the construction costs approved by Landlord and Tenant.

If Landlord determines at any time that changes in the Final TI Working Drawings or in any other aspect of the Approved TI Plans relating to any item of Landlord's TI Work are required as a result of applicable law or governmental requirements, or are required as a result of unanticipated conditions encountered in the course of construction, then Landlord shall promptly # advise Tenant of such circumstances and # at Tenant's sole cost and expense, subject to Landlord's payment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and, to the extent requested by Tenant, the Additional TI Allowance, cause revised Final TI Working Drawings to be prepared by the Architect and submitted to Tenant, for Tenant's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Failure of Tenant to deliver to Landlord written notice of disapproval and specification of such required changes on or before any deadline reasonably specified by Landlord (which shall not be less than three (3) business days after delivery thereof to Tenant) shall constitute and be deemed to be a Tenant Delay to the extent Landlord is delayed in completing Landlord’s TI Work.

Ownership of Tenant Improvements. The Tenant Improvements (including, but not limited to, all partitioning, window and wall coverings, and plumbing, lighting, electrical, and HVAC fixtures installed by Tenant) shall be deemed, effective upon installation, to be a part of the Premises and the Building and shall be deemed to be the property of Landlord (subject to Tenant’s right to use the same during the Term of the Lease), and shall be surrendered at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, unless Landlord shall have reasonably conditioned its approval of the Final Working Drawings or any Plan Modification pursuant to [Section 2.2.1 or 2.2.6]6], as applicable, on Tenant’s agreement to remove any items thereof. The removal of such items and the restoration and repair work described above shall be paid for and performed in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 36 of the Lease.
