permit the employment of any contractor, mechanic or laborer, or permit any
materials in the Demised Premises, or the Additional Demised Premises as the
case may be, if the use of such contractor, mechanic or laborer would, in

jurisdictional dispute with other contractors, mechanics or laborers employed by
Tenant, Landlord or others, or would in any way disturb, interfere with or delay
any work being performed by Landlord or any other Tenant or their respective
contractors in the Building, and (g) to pay any additional expense of Landlord

performed in compliance with the standard construction regulations for the
Building, as amended by the provisions set forth on Schedule D attached hereto.
3.02. Article 12.01 of the Lease shall govern the construction of Tenant's
Work except as herein modified. ...
3.08. (A) If a delay shall occur in the completion of Tenant's Work as the
direct or indirect result of (i) any failure of Landlord to approve when due
Tenant's plans and specifications or revisions thereto in accordance with
Section 12.02 of the Lease, (ii) the quality of, performance or completion of
Landlord's Work, (iii) the breach of a representation or covenant of Landlord in
this Agreement or the Lease, (iv) direction by Landlord that Tenant hold up a
segment of Tenant's Work for any reason, (v) any other act or omission of
Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, including any delay in giving

other reason whatsoever arising in connection with Landlord's Work or any other
work done by or on behalf of Landlord in the Building.
(B) If a delay in the completion of Tenant's Work, or any portion of
such delay, is the result of strikes or labor troubles or accident, adjustment
of insurance or any cause whatsoever beyond Tenant's reasonable control in the
ordinary course of Tenant's business, including, but not limited to, Laws or
governmental preemption in connection with a national emergency, or by reason of
any laws and/or requirements of public authorities or the conditions of supply
and demand which have been or are affected by war or other emergency, then any

upon request therefore, up to $50.00 per rentable square foot ($ 1,493,100.00
with respect to the Demised Premises and approximately $450,000.00 with respect

reimbursement, Tenant shall submit to Landlord copies of invoices for completed
work, partial lien waivers from the contractors performing that portion of
Tenant's Work which is the subject of a previous requisition and such other
information and documentation as Landlord, in its good faith judgment, deems
necessary. Any balance of the Allowance not so depleted shall be paid to Tenant
or credited against Fixed rent at Landlord's election. If the balance of the
Allowance is credited against Fixed Rent, the Allowance shall earn interest as
provided in Section 3.10 hereof until exhausted.
3.10. In the event Landlord fails or is unable to reimburse Tenant for
Tenant's Work in the full amount of the Allowance in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, Tenant may unilaterally elect to abate the
payment of Fixed Rent as a set-off against that portion of the Allowance that
remains unreimbursed to Tenant. In the event Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant
and Tenant makes the aforementioned election, the balance of the Allowance
remaining unreimbursed and not set-off shall earn interest at the annual
interest rate of ten (10%) percent until such time as the Allowance is either
fully paid to Tenant or fully setoff against the Fixed Rent abatement.
