the following conditions precedent:
i. Work Plan. Following execution of this Termination Agreement, Tenant
shall complete and provide to the Port a set of drawings and specifications
developed by the Tenant and its contractors detailing the Tenant Work to
be conducted in conformity with the scope identified in Section 3.a above
and all requirements of this Termination Agreement (collectively, the

deemed incorporated by reference herein and (b) Tenant shall promptly
commence performance of the Tenant Work in accordance with the
approved Work Plan and the terms and conditions of this Termination

- 4 -
a statement of compliance with all Legal Requirements and Tenant shall
remain fully responsible for ensuring that the Work Plan and completed
Tenant Work complies with all Legal Requirements.
ii. Performance and Completion. Upon completion of the Tenant Work as
detailed in the Work Plan, reaching substantial completion and with all
punch list items closed out, Tenant will provide the Port with written
notice certifying that all Tenant Work has been completed in accordance
with the Work Plan and the terms and conditions of this Termination
Agreement (“Final Completion”), together with a reproducible final copy
of the plans as-built for the Tenant Work along with electronic files in a
format compatible with the Port’s CAD Standards Manual, to enable the
Port to update its existing files to reflect the as-constructed changes made
by Tenant. Within ten (10) days of receiving Tenant’s written notice, the
Port will inspect the Tenant Work, and if determining that the Tenant Work
has reached Final Completion, in the Port’s commercially reasonable
discretion, the Port will issue written notice of its concurrence of Final
Completion, and confirmation of the Termination Date of the Lease
Agreement.
d. Contractor Insurance. Prior to commencement of any of Tenant Work in the
Premises, Tenant shall cause all persons and entities engaged by Tenant to perform the
Tenant Work, including general contractors and all subcontractors (Tenant's Contractors),
as a condition precedent to commencement of any of Tenant Work, to provide proof of
general liability insurance and auto mobile liability insurance substantially comparable to
those insurances, including minimum limits, required of Tenant under the Lease Agreement.
i. The Tenant’s Contractors’ general liability insurance shall be primary and
non-contributory with respect to any insurance the Port carries and apply
separately to each insured. The Port shall be named as an additional
insured for all work arising out of the Tenant Work, including “on-going”
and “completed operations” using ISO Endorsement Form CG 20 26 11 85
or an equivalent endorsement approved by the Port. Completed operations
coverage shall continue for three (3) years beyond project completion and
include the Port as an additional insured. The additional insured coverage

self-insurance the Port may carry. Evidence of coverage shall be provided
by means of a Certificate of Insurance and additional insured endorsement
during this timeframe.
ii. The Tenant’s Contractors’ automobile liability insurance shall insure
Tenant's Contractors against any and all claims for bodily injury, including
death, and damage to or destruction of property of any kind, arising from
their operations under their respective contracts. All such insurance shall
name the Port as additional insured.

under the Lease Agreement, including, without limitation, all Base Rent, up to and
