Completion
and Access to
Premises
during
Construction
7. Lessor shall notify the State in writing by certified mail of the date the leased premises will
be completed and ready for occupancy at least thirty (30) days prior thereto. Such notice shall
be a condition precedent to the accrual of rental hereunder, except however, that if the State

period of such notice, rental shall commence to accrue as of the date of occupancy.
Following execution of this lease, and not more than sixty (60) days prior to completion of
construction and occupancy under this lease, State or its contractors or other representatives
shall have the right to enter the premises for the purpose of installing certain equipment such as,

enter the premises prior to State's acceptance and occupancy of the premises, to the extent
authorized by Government Code section 14662.5. Lessor agrees to indemnify and hold State
and its agents, contractors or other representatives harmless from and against any claims,
damages, injury or other harm suffered by reason of the negligence or other wrongful act of Lessor
or any of Lessor's agents, contractors, or other representatives.
In no event shall the exercise of this right of entry be construed so as to cause an acceleration

Lessor and State shall each make all reasonable efforts to ensure that the respective
construction and installation work is scheduled in such a manner so as to not interfere with or

it may have, terminate this lease and be relieved of any further obligations hereunder, providing
that a fair and reasonable allowance for the following delays shall be added to said time for
completion:
A. Acts of the State, its agents or employees, or those claiming under agreement with or

until such time that the Punch List work is completed in full and that such completion of work is
inspected and accepted by the State. The portion of the rent specified for amortization of tenant

specified condition, at its option and in addition to any other remedy the State may have, withhold

square feet" shall mean actual inside dimensions and shall not include public corridors, stairwells,
elevators, and restrooms.
