ALTERATIONS & IMPROVEMENTS Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements or do any type of construction to the Property without first obtaining Landlord's written consent. Unless prior written agreement is reached between Tenant and Landlord, any such alterations, additions, improvements or construction shall become part of the Property and shall remain at the expiration of Tenant's Lease term. If Landlord approves of alterations, additions, improvements or construction in writing and Tenant intends to use contractors to undertake such work, the contractors must first be approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant must also place any funds to cover the amount of any alterations, additions, improvements or construction in an escrow account approved by Landlord before the commencement of the work. Landlord shall designate the times and manner of the work being done, exclusively.
School Improvement The parties do hereby mutually agree that the school improvement process currently in effect will continue. Any plan developed by the committees shall not be in conflict with the master agreement or board policy.
Initial Improvements (a) The final space plan (the “Space Plan”) for the Premises, mutually approved by the Parties is attached as Appendix 1.
(b) Landlord shall cause the Base Building Improvements (the “Base Building Improvements”) described on Appendix 2 to be completed in accordance with the plans and specifications (the “Building Plans”) prepared by Landlord, the Building Standards and Specifications (the “Building Standards”) attached as Appendix 3 and Laws. The Base Building Improvements shall be made, and the Building Plans shall be prepared, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, except that any changes, alterations, modifications or upgrades to:
(i) the Base Building Improvements or the Building Plans requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord; or
(ii) the Tenant Improvements or the Tenant Improvement Plans (both defined below) that result in changes, alterations, modifications or upgrades to the Base Building Improvements or the Building Plans, shall be made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.
(c) Landlord shall also cause the Tenant Improvements (the “Tenant Improvements”) described on Appendix 2 to be completed in accordance with the Space Plan, the plans and specifications (including the tenant finishes) (the “Tenant Improvement Plans”) approved by the Parties, the Building Standards and Laws. Subject to the last sentence of this subparagraph (c), the Tenant Improvements shall be made, and the Tenant Improvement Plans shall be prepared, at Landlord’s cost and expense, except to the extent that, at Tenant’s direction, the Tenant Improvements vary from the Space Plan or the Building Standards. To the extent that, at Tenant’s direction, the Tenant Improvements vary from the Space Plan or the Building Standards, such variance shall be made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs incurred or payable by Landlord in making the Balconies accessible and usable by Tenant within ten (10) business days after the receipt of an invoice therefor, accompanied by such detail as may reasonably be requested by Tenant, which invoice may be delivered prior to the commencement of construction. (The Base Building Improvements and the Tenant Improvements are referred to in this Exhibit collectively as the “Initial Improvements.”) The Initial Improvements shall be completed free of any mechanics’ liens, except to the extent of any dispute in connection therewith, in which case Landlord shall adequately protect the Property from the foreclosure of any such lien.
(d) Landlord shall cause the Tenant Improvement Plans to be prepared by a registered professional architect and mechanical and electrical engineer(s). Landlord shall furnish the initial draft of the Tenant Improvement Plans to Tenant for Tenant’s review and approval. Tenant shall within three (3) business days after receipt either provide comments to such Tenant Improvement Plans or approve the same. Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such Tenant Improvement Plans if Tenant does not timely provide comments on such Tenant Improvement Plans. If Tenant provides Landlord with comments to the initial draft of the Tenant Improvement Plans, Landlord shall provide revised Tenant Improvement Plans to Tenant incorporating Tenant’s comments within three (3) business days after receipt of Tenant’s comments. Tenant shall within three (3) business days after receipt then either provide comments to such revised Tenant Improvement Plans or approve such Tenant Improvement Plans. Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such revised Tenant Improvement Plans if Tenant does not timely provide comments on such Tenant Improvement Plans. The process described above shall be repeated, if necessary, until the Tenant Improvement Plans have finally been approved by Tenant.
(e) Landlord shall provide project management services in connection with the construction of the Initial Improvements and the Change Orders (defined below). Such project management services shall be performed without cost to Tenant, except for Change Orders, which shall be performed for a fee of five percent (5%) of all costs related to the construction of the Change Orders. Tenant may, at Tenant’s discretion and sole cost and expense, engage a representative to oversee construction activities on Tenant’s behalf. Said representative shall coordinate its efforts with Landlord’s project manager and/or contractor, shall have full access to all information and documentation with respect to the Tenant Improvements and may be engaged throughout the design and construction process of the Tenant Improvements.

All Tenant Improvements (other than, if applicable, the Restroom Improvements) shall be constructed by Tenant’s Contractor (and/or its subcontractors), and Tenant shall be responsible for project management with respect to construction of the Tenant Improvements. During construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant and its contractors and subcontractors (i) shall not interfere with the access to, use of, or business conducted within any other portions of the Project by other tenants or occupants, (ii) shall use diligent efforts to coordinate the timing of work, deliveries and other construction matters with tenants or occupants of the Project that could be adversely impacted by such work, deliveries and construction matters, including, without limitation, by scheduling work that would create noise, vibrations, dust or other similar annoyances to other tenants or occupants of the Project outside normal business hours, notwithstanding any additional cost (for overtime or otherwise) that Tenant may incur, (iii) shall clean and secure construction and staging areas daily, (iv) shall stage all construction and store all construction materials and equipment in a location designated by Landlord (in Landlord’s sole discretion) on the Project, and (v) shall otherwise abide by all rules and requirements established or imposed by Landlord relating to the performance of the Tenant Improvements, including rules relating to any required shutdown of utilities (including life-safety systems), storage of materials, and coordination of work with other tenant’s or occupant’s contractors. Tenant shall not be charged any construction management fee for Landlord’s review of Tenant’s Plans or any oversight of the construction of the Tenant Improvements.
