Allowance Landlord shall contribute to the costs and expenses of all costs for the planning and design of Tenant Improvements, including all permits, licenses and construction fees and constructing Tenant Improvements in an amount not to exceed the Allowance. If the final costs for Tenant Improvements exceed the Allowance, Tenant shall be responsible for such excess costs. If the total cost of performing Tenant Improvements is less than the Allowance, portions of the Allowance may be used towards Tenant's soft costs and existing Lease or Amendment obligations in accordance with Section 1 of this Work Letter. Landlord shall pay the Allowance to Tenant consistent with the terms and conditions of this Section. After Tenant Improvements are complete (as provided under Section 11 hereof), Tenant’s Representative may submit to Landlord’s Representative a request in writing (“Draw Request”) for the Allowance which request shall include: (a) “as-built” drawings showing all of Tenant Improvements; (b) a detailed breakdown of Tenant's final and total construction costs, together with receipted invoices showing payment thereof; (c) a certified, written statement from the Architect that all of Tenant Improvements has been completed in accordance with the Drawings; (d) all required AIA forms, supporting final lien waivers, and releases executed by the Architect, General Contractor, the Major Subcontractors and all subcontractors and suppliers in connection with Tenant Improvements; (e) a copy of a certificate of occupancy or amended certificate of occupancy required with respect to the Expansion Premises, if applicable, together with all licenses, certificates, permits and other government authorizations necessary in connection with Tenant Improvements and the operation of Tenant's business from the Expansion Premises; and (f) proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord’s Representative that Tenant has complied with all of the conditions set forth in this Work Letter and has satisfactorily completed Tenant Improvements. Upon Landlord's Representatives receipt and approval of the Draw Request, Landlord shall pay the balance of the Allowance. Payment by Landlord shall be made within thirty (30) days, unless Landlord’s Representative notifies Tenant’s Representative, in writing, of its rejection (and the reasons therefor) of any or all of the Draw Request. To the extent Landlord does not so reject any portion of said Draw Request, Landlord shall timely pay the Draw Request. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, but subject to Section 1 of this Work Letter, Landlord will pay the amount of the Allowance to Tenant in progress payments (not more often than monthly). Such progress payments will be made not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord’s Representative from Tenant’s Representative of copies of Tenant’s invoices from its Architect or General Contractor together with a certificate from Tenant’s Representative indicating that the work to which such invoices relate has been substantially completed and/or the materials to which such invoices relate have been installed in, or delivered to, the applicable portion of the Expansion Premises. Such progress payments will be made payable to Tenant and will be for the undisputed amount of the submitted invoices, less a ten percent (10%) retainage (which shall not be released until such time as Landlord’s Representative has received the Draw Request). As a condition precedent to Landlord’s issuing any such progress payment subsequent to the first such progress payment, Tenant’s Representative will deliver to Landlord’s Representative an original lien waiver from its General Contractor waiving any claim for a mechanic’s or materialman’s lien with respect to the labor and materials reflected in the invoices submitted for the immediately preceding progress payment.
