Improvement Allowance a. Landlord shall contribute the Improvement Allowance towards the Improvement Costs in accordance with the terms of this Section. All Improvement Costs incurred by Landlord shall be deducted from the Improvement Allowance, and applied by Landlord to pay the Improvement Costs, as such costs are incurred. The Improvement Allowance shall remain available to be used by Tenant through October 31, 2014 (the “Allowance Expiration Date”). Any portion of the Improvement Allowance remaining undisbursed after the Allowance Expiration Date shall be retained by Landlord and Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment, Rent reduction or offset for any unused part of the Improvement Allowance. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to expend more than the Improvement Allowance.
b. Prior to commencement of construction of any Initial Improvements, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a written estimate (the “Estimate”) of the Improvement Costs. The Estimate shall include “allowance(s),” defined as an estimate of cost for an item of work not sufficiently defined in the documents to allow a fixed price to be obtained by the general contractor for which the Improvement Costs are to be increased or decreased, respectively, by the precise amount that the actual cost of the allowance item is either in excess of or less than the amount of the allowance for that item. Tenant shall approve the Estimate in writing within five (5) business days of Tenant’s receipt thereof. If Tenant does not approve or disapprove the Estimate in writing within said period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Estimate. Landlord shall be under no obligation to construct any of the Initial Improvements until Tenant has expressly approved the Estimate.
c. If based on the Estimate, the Improvement Costs will exceed the Improvement Allowance, then prior to commencement of construction of any Initial Improvements, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of such projected excess amount. Landlord shall keep Tenant reasonably informed with respect to construction progress of the Initial Improvements, the occupancy of the Premises by Tenant and costs thereof. Landlord shall submit to Tenant monthly progress statements illustrating the cost to date of constructing the Initial Improvements. The statements of costs submitted to Landlord by Landlord’s contractors shall be conclusive for purposes of determining the actual cost of the items described therein. The amounts payable by Tenant hereunder constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure to timely pay same constitutes a Default by Tenant as if Tenant shall have failed to pay Rent. Within ten (10) days after submission by Landlord of the foregoing statement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount, as set forth in such notice, by which the Improvement Costs exceeds the Improvement Allowance plus any amount previously paid by Tenant to Landlord. Landlord shall not disburse the Improvement Allowance until after Landlord disburses funds paid by Tenant for excess costs and provided that the Improvement Allowance is estimated to be sufficient to pay all remaining costs. Landlord shall disburse first the funds paid by Tenant and then the Improvement Allowance directly to the general contractor and to suppliers and subcontractors as Landlord deems appropriate. As soon as reasonably practical upon completion of the Initial Improvements, Landlord shall prepare and submit to Tenant a statement showing, in reasonable detail an accounting for the Improvement Costs and the total amount payable hereunder by Landlord to Tenant or Tenant to Landlord. Within ten (10) days after submission by Landlord of the foregoing statement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount, as set forth in such notice, by which the Improvement Costs exceeded the Improvement Allowance and any funds previously paid by Tenant to Landlord. If the Improvement Costs are less than the Improvement Allowance and any funds previously paid by Tenant to Landlord, then the excess funds previously paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be used to offset Base Rent; and Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment, Rent reduction or offset for any unused part of the Improvement Allowance.
d. After the Improvement Allowance has been expended by Landlord, the principal amount of the Improvement Allowance, together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate, shall be amortized evenly over the Term, and so long as Tenant does not default in its monetary obligations under the Lease, and fail to cure such default within the applicable period of cure, if any, provided under this Lease, then the balance of the Improvement Allowance shall be reduced each month by the principal amount amortized each month, and upon Landlord’s receipt of the final payment of Rent due during the initial Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have no liability to Landlord for the repayment of any portion of the Improvement Allowance or the interest that accrued and was amortized over the initial Term of this Lease. In the event of an uncured Default by Tenant under this Lease, then in addition to all of Landlord’s other remedies available under this Lease, Tenant shalt also be liable to Landlord for the entire unreduced principal balance of the Improvement Allowance remaining as of the date of default, and interest on such balance shall accrue at the Default Rate.
Landlord’s Contribution Landlord shall contribute rent abatements up to the total amount of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($150,000.00) (“Landlord’s Contribution”) on account of the cost of refurbishing the Leased Premises including design and engineering costs. Landlord’s Contribution shall be available to Tenant only as follows:
(i) Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written request to utilize a portion of Landlord’s Contribution as an abatement of one or more monthly installments of Base Rent (as hereinafter defined) (each a “Contribution Request”); (ii) each Contribution Request shall include evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant has actually paid to contractors and other relevant professionals an amount at least equal to the amount sought in the Contribution Request in connection with construction, design and or other service and materials directly related to and necessary in connection with the Expansion Project (“Refit Expenses”); (iii) unless a Contribution Request is disputed by Landlord within ten (10) days from receipt by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to abatement of Base Rent monthly installment(s) first payable not less than thirty (30) days from submission of such Contribution Request to Landlord; (iv) in addition to the foregoing: (A) Tenant shall be limited to no more than three (3) contribution requests per year; (B) each Contribution Request shall be in an amount not less than the lesser of the remaining unused portion of Landlord’s Contribution and the Base Rent payable for one (1) month and shall specify how Tenant intends to apply the Base Rent abatements to upcoming monthly installment(s) of Base Rent; and (C) monthly abatements of Base Rent shall be applied to whole months and Tenant shall have no right to a partial abatement of monthly Base Rent other than with respect to the last Contribution Request.
Construction Costs Under no circumstances shall the Consultant be liable for extra costs or other consequences due to unknown conditions or related to the failure of contractors to perform work in accordance with the plans and specifications. Consultant shall have no liability whatsoever for any costs arising out of the Client’s decision to obtain bids or proceed with construction before the Consultant has issued final, fully-approved plans and specifications. The Client acknowledges that all preliminary plans are subject to substantial revision until plans are fully approved and all permits obtained.
