"1.3.3 Delay in Remaining Landlord Work. Landlord anticipates causing substantial completion of the Remaining Landlord Work to occur by the respective dates set forth in the First Amendment to this Lease, or if no dates are set forth therein, then by July 20, 2019. When each portion of the Remaining Landlord Work is substantially complete, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing, and Landlord and Tenant shall set a mutually convenient time for Landlord, Landlord's architect and Tenant and Tenant's Architect to walk through the Premises and prepare a list of "punch-list" items. After such walk-through, Landlord shall diligently complete such punch-list items in a good workmanlike manner. Landlord's failure to substantially complete the Remaining Landlord Work by the respective dates specified herein, or if no dates are specified in the First Amendment to this Lease, then by July 20, 2019, other than as a result of Tenant Delay or Force Majeure, then such failure by Landlord shall constitute a Landlord Caused Delay to the extent such failure causes Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements to occur after July 20, 2019."
14.2.    Definition of Lease Commencement Date. The first sentence of Section 5.1 of the Tenant Work Letter is amended to read as follows: "The Lease Commencement Date shall occur as provided in Section 4 of the First Amendment to this Lease, provided that the Lease Commencement Date shall be extended by the number of days of delay of the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements (as defined below) to the extent caused by a "Lease Commencement Date Delay," as that term is defined below, but only to the extent such Lease

Commencement Date Delay causes the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements to occur after July 20, 2019."
15.    Modification to Lease Provision. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, the security contractor (if any) providing Tenant's Security Personnel to Tenant under the Lease shall comply with Landlord's reasonable insurance requirements, including carrying a liability policy with a limit of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), in lieu of the Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) requirement originally set forth in the Lease.
16.    Above Standard Tenant Improvements. Landlord hereby confirms that none of the Tenant Improvements approved by Landlord prior to the date hereof, nor the Pipe Work, constitute "Above Standard Tenant Improvements".
17.    Conflict; No Further Modification. In the event of any conflict between the Lease and this First Amendment, the terms and provisions of this First Amendment shall prevail.
