Delay in Substantial Completion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, if the Substantial Completion Date is delayed by reason of Tenant Delay, the Substantial Completion Date shall be the date the Base Building Improvements would have been Substantially Complete absent any Tenant Delay. “Tenant Delay” shall mean any delay that Landlord encounters in the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Agreement or the Lease to construct the Base Building Improvements because of any act, neglect, failure or omission of any nature by Tenant, any employees of Tenants, or any of Tenant’s Agents, including, but not limited to # delay by Tenant in the submission of information or the giving of authorizations or approvals or the performance of any other obligations of Tenant under this Agreement or the Lease, and # any entry onto the Project by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, which delays Substantial Completion of the Base Building Improvements. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all additional costs incurred by Landlord arising out of or in any way related to the Tenant Delays and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from and against any and all liability for the delay in the Substantial Completion Date arising out of or in any way related to such Tenant Delays.

Substantial Completion of the Base Building Improvements. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Base Building Improvements that are required to permit Tenant to enter the Premises for purposes of performing the Tenant Improvement Work to be Substantially Complete on or before July 1, 2016, subject to Force Majeure Events and Tenant Delays. Tenant shall have the right to reasonably monitor and confirm Landlord’s completion of such Base Building Improvements substantially in conformance with the Building Plans. Landlord will give Tenant at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of the date on which such Base Building Improvements are anticipated to be Substantially Complete (the “Substantial Completion Date”). “Substantially Complete” or “Substantial Completion” shall mean that # the Base Building Improvements that are required to permit Tenant to enter the Premises for purposes of performing the Tenant Improvement have been completed in accordance with the Building Plans, the correction or completion of which items, collectively, will not substantially interfere with Tenant’s ability to commence the Tenant Improvement Work and # Tenant is legally permitted to enter the Premises for purposes of performing the Tenant Improvement Work. Landlord and Tenant shall then arrange a mutually convenient time, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the anticipated Substantial Completion Date specified in Landlord’s notice, for Tenant and/or Tenant’s Architect (as defined below) and Landlord and/or Landlord’s Architect to conduct a walk-through inspection of the Base Building Improvements.

Substantial Completion; Tenant Delay. For purposes of the Lease, as herein amended, “Substantially Complete” or “Substantial Completion” means full completion, except for minor punch list items or insubstantial details of construction, decoration or installation and shall be deemed to occur on the earlier of # the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy, # a final certificate of occupancy, # Tenant’s occupancy of the Expansion Space for the conduct of Tenant’s business, as set forth in [Section 2.3] of the Lease, or # the date that Substantial Completion would have occurred but for the occurrence of a Tenant Delay. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give Tenant prior notice of the date the Expansion Space will be Substantially Complete. “Tenant Delay” shall mean # a delay resulting from any direction by Tenant that Landlord suspend work or otherwise hold up construction of any portion of the Leasehold Improvements to the Expansion Space because of a possible change to be initiated by Tenant or for any other reason directed by Tenant; # delays which result directly or indirectly from Tenant’s requested changes in the Construction Drawings or Leasehold Improvements relating to the Expansion Space; # any delay caused by any “long-lead time” previously identified by Landlord, if possible, Leasehold Improvement item (e.g. millwork) which cannot be fabricated, delivered to the job, and completely installed within the same time frame as the remainder of the Leasehold Improvements shown on the Construction Drawings; # any delay resulting from the performance by Tenant of the Tenant Work; or # any other action or inaction of Tenant that directly or indirectly delays Landlord (or Landlord’s contractor) in completing the Leasehold Improvements to the Expansion Space.
