This document shall be read in conjunction with the CITIGROUP CENTRE House Rules which provides details on deliveries, lifting, parking, security access, and after hours air conditioning. INTRODUCTION The CITIGROUP CENTRE was completed in July 2000. CITIGROUP CENTRE has been designed to reflect a new working philosophy, which will carry businesses successfully into the 21st century. It is expected that any tenancy work will embrace this philosophy and thus benefit the designers, builders, tenants and building owners.
1.0
The key to successful fit out is a competent project manager co-ordinating between the tenant, services contractors, and CITIGROUP CENTRE management. The tenant is responsible for appointing the project manager, whose appointment shall be approved by the CITIGROUP CENTRE management. CITIGROUP CENTRE has a sophisticated suite of services for todays tenant, and to gain the optimum from these services, tenant fit outs must be correctly designed, installed, and commissioned. The majority of tenant complaints with services are due to modifications made during the fit out, which can be avoided by proper design and execution. C:\WINNT\Temporary Internet Files\OLK15F\Fit Out Guide 050104.doc 5
It is the responsibility of the project manager to chair co-ordination meetings between the tenant, CITIGROUP CENTRE management and relevant specialist service contractors on a regular basis to enable CITIGROUP CENTRE management to monitor the progress of the fit out and service modifications for the benefit of the tenant. The project manager shall appoint to remain on site for the duration of the fit out. A competent full time foreman or supervisor fully experienced in all aspects of the work. To be the project managers representative on the site. The foreman shall have the authority to take all necessary actions requested by the CITIGROUP CENTRE management in relation to quality, performance and over all control.

NOISE RESTRICTIONS
CITIGROUP CENTRE is a live structure and noise can become transmitted some considerable distance from its source. Tenants are entitled to quiet enjoyment of their tenancies, and under no circumstances are disruptive noise activities that affect other tenants to be carried out between the hours of 7.00am and 7.00pm Monday to Friday.

SAFETY
3.1 SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES
The project manager acknowledges and agrees that CITIGROUP CENTRE management shall exercise the overall co-ordination of safety matters. This does not relieve the project manager of their responsibilities relating to safety. Where work practices are deemed to be dangerous by the building manager, increasing the risk of personal injury or damage to property, the builder must provide a Risk Assessment and Work Method Statement. The statement should demonstrate the competency and ability of the individuals to perform such work and that they are adequately trained in accordance with the procedures in the statement.

At the project managers cost remove immediately materials which in CITIGROUP CENTRE managements opinion could constitute a health or safety risk or which are defective or inadequate for which they were required. Ensure that all electrical installation, aerials, extension cords, fittings and the like comply with the requirements of all relevant authorities. Provide a Fire Systems Isolation Request should any area of the fit out, during the fit out period, not comply with code. Take all reasonable precautions against fire. Prior to welding or cutting operations which use or generate heat, flame or sparks, the project manager shall obtain a hot work permit from CITIGROUP CENTRE management and comply with all associated requirements when welding.

6.0
SERVICES
CITIGROUP CENTRE offers a suite of sophisticated services to meet the demands oftodays tenant. It is important to understand that the installation of partitioning will almost certainly cause alternations to the air-conditioning, sprinkler system, and lighting layout as a minimum. Careful attention to the modification of tenancies during fit out shall ensure that the level of service is not compromised. Specific reference is made to air-conditioning where tenants complaints are invariably due to poor tenancy design and/or execution. Due to the substantial nature and sophistication of the services offered by CITIGROUP CENTRE, it is strongly recommended that preferred contractors be used for nominated services. In general these preferred contractors are either the supplier of existing electronic systems, or have performance obligations to CITIGROUP CENTRE management under maintenance agreements. Should alternative contractors be used, the project manager shall allow monies for the preferred contractor to review the design and installation of the alternative contractors work, and to certify when satisfied that the work is the required standard, that the work has not compromised the system and/or performance obligations under a maintenance agreement. The current preferred contractors are listed at Appendix A. 6.1 AIR-CONDITIONING AND CONTROLS
The air-conditioning system on a typical floor consists of a variable volume system around the perimeter and up to 30 variable air volume boxes located in the centre and perimeter zones. The master temperature sensors for the variable volume system are located on the perimeter columns and the temperature sensors for the VAV boxes are left C:\WINNT\Temporary Internet Files\OLK15F\Fit Out Guide 050104.doc 20
in the ceiling with a length of sensor cable to allow the temperature sensors to be drawn down into partition walls during the tenancy fit out. Ancillary fresh air and ancillary exhaust air systems are provided which have blanked off spigots for connection in the core area. The project manager shall obtain from the tenant a detailed plan showing location of all staff, equipment and lighting to determine the heat load, and the usages of all areas. These shall be provided to the air-conditioning contractor or consultant for tenancy design. The return air route from the tenanted space is through the ceiling plenum to the return air risers within the core.
