Cost Proposal After the Approved Working Drawings are approved by Landlord and Tenant, and the Contractor and subcontractors have been selected pursuant to Section 4.1 above, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings setting forth the reconciled bids and copies of all sub-bids, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to be incurred in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the "COST PROPOSAL"). The Cost Proposal shall reflect bids that will be priced by Contractor on an individual item-by-item or trade-by-trade basis. Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith in an attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable Cost Proposal as soon as reasonably possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, portions of the cost of the Tenant Improvements may be delivered to Tenant as such portions of the Tenant Improvements are priced by Contractor (on an individual item-by-item or trade-by-trade basis), even before the Approved Working Drawings are completed (the "PARTIAL COST PROPOSAL") for purposes of facilitating the early purchase of items and construction of the same. Tenant shall approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord within seven (7) business days of the receipt of the same, or, as to a Partial Cost Proposal within five (5) business days of receipt of the same, and upon receipt of the same by Landlord, Landlord shall be released by Tenant to purchase the items set forth in the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, as the case may be, and to commence the construction relating to such items. If Tenant disapproves the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a reasonably sufficient explanation, and in such event, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith, diligent efforts to work with each other and Contractor to address Tenant's reasons for disapproving the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, whichever is the case and a new Cost Proposal (or Partial Cost Proposal, as applicable) shall be prepared and the process described in this Section 4.2 shall be repeated. The date by which Tenant must approve and deliver the Cost Proposal or the last Partial Cost Proposal to Landlord, as the case may be, shall be known hereafter as the "COST PROPOSAL DELIVERY DATE". The total of all Partial Cost Proposals, if any, shall be known as the Cost Proposal.
