Commencement and Permitting. Landlord shall commence construction of the Tenant Improvements upon obtaining a building permit (the “Tl Permit”) authorizing the construction of the Tenant Improvements consistent with the Tl Construction Drawings approved by Tenant. The cost of obtaining the Tl Permit shall be payable by Landlord. Tenant shall reasonably assist Landlord in obtaining the Tl Permit. If any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the construction of Landlord’s Work or any portion thereof shall impose terms or conditions upon the construction thereof that: # are inconsistent with Landlord’s obligations hereunder, # materially increase the cost of constructing Landlord’s Work, or # will materially delay the construction of Landlord’s Work, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably and in good faith seek means by which to mitigate or eliminate any such adverse terms and conditions.

Permits. Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to promptly submit the Approved TI Construction Drawings to the appropriate authorities to obtain all city, county and state permits, authorizations and approvals (the “Permits”) which may be required to allow Tenant’s Contractor to commence and fully complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements described in the Approved TI Construction Drawings. Neither Landlord nor Landlord’s Architect shall be responsible for obtaining any Permits or the certificate of occupancy for the Premises, and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord will cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such Permit or certificate of occupancy. Any changes or modifications to the Approved TI Construction Drawings that may be necessary to obtain any such Permits, or which may be required by city officials or inspectors to comply with code rulings or interpretations, shall be prepared by Tenant’s Architect, at Tenant’s expense (provided that to the extent funds are available, such expense may be reimbursed from the Tenant Improvement Allowance), and submitted to Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval as a Plan Modification under [Section 2.2.6]. The procedure in [Section 2.2.5] for approval shall be pursued until Landlord approves the Plan Modification and all Permits have been obtained for the Approved TI Construction Drawings, as so amended.
