Minimum Investment Prior to the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall refurbish, redecorate and modernize the interiors and exteriors of the Premises, and otherwise complete the initial improvements necessary and appropriate to commence operations in the Premises (the “Initial Improvements”), at a minimum cost of the Minimum Investment Amount or less than said amount provided Tenant complies with the Concessions Design Guidelines and receives Design Review Committee approval. As-Built drawings of fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems must be submitted to Building Inspection and Code Enforcement (“XXXX”) in AUTOCAD “.DWG” format within 30 days of issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO). Within ninety (90) days after substantial completion of the Initial Improvements, Tenant must provide to City an electronic PDF file and a hard copy set of as-built drawings and an affidavit, signed under penalty of perjury by both Tenant and Tenant’s general contractor, architect or construction manager, stating the hard construction costs paid by Tenant to complete the Initial Improvements, together with copies of paid invoices and lien waivers substantiating the costs stated in the affidavit. Such “hard construction costs,” which must equal or exceed the Minimum Investment Amount, may include architectural and engineering fees, provided the credit for such costs against the Minimum Investment Amount shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Minimum Investment Amount. The minimum investment may not include financial costs, interest, inventory, pre-opening expenses, inter-company charges related to construction, business interruption, overhead, or debt service on any construction loan, or any charges paid by Tenant to an affiliate. If Director disputes the amount of investment claimed by Tenant, Director may, at City’s expense, hire an independent appraiser to determine the cost of the investment. If the independent appraiser determines that the investment is less than the Minimum Investment Amount, the deficiency, as well as City’s costs of hiring such independent appraiser, will be paid to City by Tenant within sixty (60) days of City’s written notice of the appraiser’s determination. At any time, upon three (3) business days’ notice, City or its representatives may audit all of Tenant’s books, records and source documents related to the hard construction costs paid by Tenant to complete the Initial Improvements. If the audit reveals that the hard construction costs paid by Tenant were less than those stated in Tenant’s affidavit, then Tenant must pay City for the costs incurred by City in connection with the audit plus any additional deficiency discovered between the hard construction costs paid by Tenant and the Minimum Investment Amount. City, at City’s sole discretion, may require that Tenant comply with the terms of a Tenant Work Letter setting forth additional terms relating to Tenant’s construction of the Initial Improvements, and Tenant hereby agrees to comply with any such Tenant Work Letter.
