Restoration The Restoration Fund shall be disbursed by the Trustee in accordance with the following conditions:
(a) If the cost of Restoration will exceed the Threshold Amount, prior to commencement of the Restoration the architects, general contractor(s), and plans and specifications for the Restoration shall be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which approval shall be granted to the extent that the plans and specifications depict a Restoration which is substantially similar to the Improvements and Equipment which existed prior to the occurrence of the casualty or Taking, whichever is applicable. Landlord will not withhold its consent for variations to the Improvements required as a result of current zoning and building code requirements.
(b) At the time of any disbursement, no Event of Default shall exist and no mechanics’ or materialmen’s Liens shall have been filed and remain undischarged or unbonded or for which Tenant shall fail to provide affirmative title insurance coverage.
(c) Disbursements shall be made from time to time in an amount not exceeding the hard and soft cost of the work and costs incurred since the last disbursement upon receipt of (1) satisfactory evidence, including architects’ certificates of the stage of completion, of the estimated cost of completion and of performance of the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts and the plans and specifications, (2) partial releases of Liens or conditional Lien waivers, and (3) other reasonable evidence of cost and payment so that Landlord can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by work that is completed in place or delivered to the site and free and clear of mechanics’ Lien claims.
(d) Each request for disbursement shall be sent by Tenant to Landlord and to the Trustee, accompanied by a certificate of Tenant describing the work, materials or other costs or expenses, for which payment is requested and stating (i) the cost incurred in connection therewith, (ii) that no Event of Default exists and no mechanics’ or materialmen’s Liens shall have been filed and remain undischarged or unbonded, and (iii) that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work or expense; the certificate to be delivered by Tenant upon completion of the work shall, in addition, state that the work that is the subject of the request for disbursement has been substantially completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease. The Trustee shall not release funds from the Restoration Fund unless and until it has received a written authorization from Landlord approving such release, which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to promptly give if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has satisfied all of the requirements set forth in this Paragraph 15 in connection with such release.
(e) The Trustee shall retain a commercially reasonable retainage amount (but in no event less than 5% of the expected repair cost, other than general conditions, until the Restoration is 50% complete).
(f) The Restoration Fund shall be held by the Trustee and shall be invested as directed by Landlord. All interest shall become a part of the Restoration Fund.
(g) At all times the undisbursed balance of the Restoration Fund held by the Trustee, plus any funds contributed thereto by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, at its option, shall be not less than the cost of completing the Restoration (as reasonably estimated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, provided that Tenant shall provide to Landlord the basis for such estimate, in reasonable detail, promptly after Landlord’s request therefor), free and clear of all Liens.
(h) In addition, prior to commencement of Restoration and at any time during Restoration, if the estimated cost of Restoration, as reasonably determined by a contractor or architect mutually selected by Landlord and Tenant, exceeds the amount of the Net Proceeds or the Net Award, as applicable, and Tenant Insurance Payment available for such Restoration, either, at Tenant’s option and determination, the amount of such excess shall be paid by Tenant to the Trustee to be added to the Restoration Fund or Tenant shall fund at its own expense the costs of such Restoration until the remaining Restoration Fund is sufficient for the completion of the Restoration. Any sum in the Restoration Fund which remains in the Restoration Fund upon the completion of Restoration with respect to a casualty shall be paid to Tenant; any portion of a Net Award remaining after completion of Restoration with respect to a Taking shall be paid to Landlord.
Restoration of Premises Lessee shall conduct all operations on the Leased Premises in such a manner as not to unreasonably damage the portion of the Leased Premises where there will be no mining operations. Lessee shall conduct all operations in such a manner as to observe and comply with all Laws applicable to the Leased Premises and all Laws applicable to the conduct of Lessee’s operations. Lessee expressly agrees to dispose of all tailings and other mining wastes in accordance with all applicable Laws and shall reclaim all of disturbed perimeter portions of any lakes created by mining such that those perimeter portions shall be left at a slope no steeper than four feet horizontal to one foot vertical within three (3) months of termination of the Lease Agreement. By the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease Agreement, Lessee shall grade that portion of the Leased Premises which has been excavated by Lessee or on which Lessee has conducted operations so as to eliminate all unreasonable irregularities therein and so that such portion of the Leased Premises which has been excavated by Lessee conforms to the drawing set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto. Upon completion of the required grading, Lessee shall cover such area with sand, clay, or topsoil, or a mixture of any of the foregoing, from the resources then existing on the Leased Premises, and shall thereafter reseed the surface with a seed mixture approved by Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lessee be required to import any Materials, including but not limited to, sand, clay, or topsoil from off-site for purposes of complying with its restoration obligations in this Section 15. Should this obligation not be met by the end of the term of this Lease Agreement, it shall nevertheless survive and continue beyond the term of this Lease Agreement and shall be an obligation owed by Lessee to Lessor. This obligation is owed by Lessee in addition to any other obligation imposed upon Lessee by this Lease Agreement.
Repair Concessionaire shall, prior to the commencement of the Concession Operation under this Agreement, provide to Department a type-written concession equipment maintenance plan for the State-owned equipment located on the Concession Premises, together with a schedule for preventative maintenance and a report on maintenance completion and equipment condition. Failure to comply with this preventative maintenance schedule shall result in Concessionaire being responsible for all repairs and/or replacement of equipment. The review and Department inspection of the Concession Premises and its equipment will be conducted during routine inspection of the Concession Premises and as a part of the Mandatory Compliance and Performance Evaluation Meetings.
Construction of the Improvements (a) Prior to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s execution of the construction contract (the “Contract”) with a general contractor to be selected by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and approved by Landlord (“Contractor”), Tenant shall submit the Contract to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall advise Tenant as soon as reasonably practical, and in all events, within ten (10) business days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s receipt of the Contract if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s commercially reasonable discretion. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly revise the Contract in accordance with such review and any such disapproval of Landlord in connection therewith. Prior to the commencement of the construction of the Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids for the Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed breakdown, by trade, of the final costs to be incurred or which have been incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Improvements to be performed by or at the direction of Contractor, Tenant or the Construction Manager, which costs form a basis for the amount of the Contract and any other architectural, engineering, design, construction or procurement contracts entered into by or on behalf of Tenant for the design, construction or fit-out of any portion of the Improvements (the “Final Costs”). Prior to the commencement of construction of the Improvements, Tenant shall supply Landlord with cash, an irrevocable letter of credit, or such other financial assurance that is satisfactory to the Landlord in an amount (the “Over- Allowance Amount”) equal to the difference between the amount of the Final Costs and the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. The Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed by Landlord prior to the disbursement of any of the then remaining portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and such disbursement shall be pursuant to the same procedure as the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event that, after the Final Costs have been delivered by Tenant to Landlord, the costs relating to the design and construction of the Improvements shall change, unless, even with such change, the Final Costs are less than the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, any additional costs necessary to such design and construction in excess of the Final Costs, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately as an addition to the Over-Allowance Amount or at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall make payments for such additional costs out of its own funds, but Tenant shall continue to provide Landlord with the documents described in Section 3.3 below, for Landlord’s approval, prior to Tenant paying such costs. If the total actual costs relating to the design and construction of the Improvements shall be less than the sum of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and the Over-Allowance Amount, and if the Tenant delivered the Over-Allowance Amount in cash, then the Landlord shall reimburse the Tenant for the amount of such difference, but not more than the Over-Allowance Amount. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 3 to the contrary, construction of the Improvements shall not commence until (a) Landlord has approved the Contract, (b) Tenant has procured and delivered to Landlord a copy of all Permits and Approvals, (c) Tenant has delivered to Landlord the Over-Allowance Amount, and (d) MLB PDL shall have provided written confirmation that the Improvements as shown on the Approved Working Drawings would cause the Ballpark to be in compliance with the PDL Facility Standards; provided that the Ballpark’s compliance with the PDL Facility Standards shall only be confirmed after an official audit has been completed of the Ballpark and the Improvements.
(b) The parties agree that, for the purpose of achieving cost savings, except for structural alterations to the Ballpark, Tenant may seek bids for and procure the Improvements listed on Exhibit D directly rather than under the Contract through the Contractor and involving the Architect.
(c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Construction Manager, Contractor, and all subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant (such subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers, and the Contractor and Construction Manager to be known collectively as “Tenant’s Agents”) shall construct the Improvements in strict accordance with the Approved Working Drawings. Tenant shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Improvements to be completed prior to the 2026 Baseball Season. The Improvements shall comply in all respects with the following: (i) all applicable building codes, and other state, federal, city or quasi-governmental laws, codes, ordinances and regulations, as each may apply according to the rulings of the controlling public official, agent or other person; (ii) applicable standards of the American Insurance Association (formerly, the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and the National Electrical Code; and
Alterations, Additions, and Improvements Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements which affect the structure of the Building or which decrease the square footage of the Building or which reduce the value of the Premises, in each case without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the above, and provided Tenant complies with all Legal Requirements in connection therewith, Tenant shall have the right at all times to make all other alterations, additions or improvements to the Building without Landlord’s prior written approval. Tenant shall not be required to restore any alterations or additions permitted under this paragraph to the Premises or remove improvements at the end of the Term. All alterations, additions and improvements permitted under this paragraph or consented to in writing by Landlord are referred to as “Permitted Alterations”. All alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant which are permanently attached to and made part of the Premises shall become the property of Landlord at the expiration of the Term, except for signs, trade fixtures, furnishings, machinery and equipment used in or on the Premises and furnished by Tenant which Tenant may remove, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises caused thereby (reasonable and ordinary wear and tear excepted). For federal income tax purposes, Tenant’s signs, trade fixtures and furnishings are defined herein as equipment. Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant for use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien against the Premises or any interest therein.
