Construction Costs Tenant shall pay for all construction costs, including, but not limited to permits, costs of materials and labor, sales tax, construction management fees and the like except to the extent of the Tenant Improvement Allowance which shall be paid by Landlord. The term “Tenant Improvement Allowance” shall mean the sum of $316,020.00 (or $15.00 per square foot of rentable area times 21,068 square feet of rentable area) which Landlord agrees to pay towards the construction costs. Landlord agrees to pay architectural fees and design services up to $1.25 per rentable square foot. Any services performed by the architect above the $1.25 per rentable square foot shall be the responsibility of the Tenant and may be paid out of the Tenant Improvement Allowance to the extent funds are available. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, provided there is any unused portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, up to 20% of the allowance can be used by the Tenant as a moving allowance or for communications costs for cabling and data. Tenant must submit invoices for such allowances for Landlord to pay. Xxxxxx Development will act as General Contractor for the construction of tenant improvements, competitively bidding each trade to at least three subcontractors, the typical five percent (5%) construction management fee will not be charged to Tenant or deducted from the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord shall obtain bids based on the Approved Pricing Plans and construct the Work as described in the Approved Pricing Plans. If after finalizing the Approved Working Drawings, it is determined that the construction costs will exceed the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (an “Excess”), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such Excess within ten (10) days of written request from Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Tenant fails to pay any Excess timely, Landlord shall not be obligated to commence construction of the Work and such delay shall constitute a Tenant Delay for each day beyond the ten (10) day period until the Excess is paid to Landlord. If Tenant elects not to use Xxxxxx Development as the General Contractor, Tenant understands that Landlord, or its designated agent, shall serve as construction manager for all of Tenant’s refurbishment and renovations in the refurbishment and renovations in the Premises and the fee for such service is 5% of the total cost of all work performed in connection with such refurbishment and renovations. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord in completing any such improvements on a timely basis and Tenant has approved the preliminary space plan and pricing documentation. Additional space on the 3rd floor which Tenant elects to lease pursuant [****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. to a right hereunder shall be finished out by Landlord pursuant to mutually agreed upon plans and Tenant shall receive an allowance of $15.00 per square foot of rentable area provided, however, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is improving the entire third (3rd) floor prior to commencement of the Lease and Tenant shall not be entitled to any additional tenant finish when Tenant leases the remainder of the third floor.
Repair Estimate If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Landlord shall use good faith efforts to deliver to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such Casualty a good faith estimate (the “Damage Notice”) of the time needed to repair the damage caused by such Casualty.
Tenant Improvement Costs The Tenant Improvements’ cost (the “Tenant Improvement Costs”) shall mean and include any and all costs and expenses of the Work, including, without limitation, all of the following:
Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses In addition, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (the “Estimated Direct Expenses”). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Direct Expenses under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Direct Expenses theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due that is at least thirty (30) days thereafter, a fraction of the Estimated Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
Tenant Improvement Allowance Items Except as otherwise set forth in this Tenant Work Letter, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord only for the following items and costs (collectively the “Tenant Improvement Allowance Items”):
Construction Contract; Cost Budget Prior to execution of a construction contract, Tenant shal] submit a copy of the proposed contract with the Contractor for the construction of the Tenant Improvements, including the genera] conditions with Contractor (the “Contract”) to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Following execution of the Contract and prior to commencement of construction, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a fully executed copy of the Contract for Landlord’s records. Prior to the commencement of the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and after Tenant has accepted all bids and proposals for the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a detailed breakdown, by trade, for all of Tenant’s Agents, of the final estimated costs to be incurred or which have been incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements to be performed by or at the direction of Tenant or the Contractor (the “Construction Budget”), which costs shall include, but not be limited to, the costs of the Architect’s and Engineers’ fees and the Landlord Coordination Fee.

In the event that an Over-Allowance Amount exists, then prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall supply Landlord with cash in an amount equal to the Over- Allowance Amount. The Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed by Landlord prior to the disbursement of any of the then remaining portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and such disbursement shall be pursuant to the same procedure as the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event that, after the total costs set forth in the Construction Budget have been delivered by Tenant to Landlord, the costs relating to the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall change, any additional costs for such design and construction in excess of the total costs set forth in the Construction Budget shall be added to the Over-Allowance Amount and the total costs set forth in the Construction Budget, and such additional costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord immediately as an addition to the Over-Allowance Amount or at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall make payments for such additional costs out of its own funds, but Tenant shall continue to provide Landlord with the documents described in items (1), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 2.2.2.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, above, for Landlord’s approval, prior to Tenant paying such costs.

Tenant shall remit to Landlord, on the first day of each calendar month, estimated payments on account of Operating Costs, such monthly amounts to be sufficient to provide Landlord, by the end of the calendar year, a sum equal to the Operating Costs, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time to time. The initial monthly estimated payments shall be in an amount equal to 1/12th of the Initial Estimate of Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Costs for the Calendar Year. If, at the expiration of the year in respect of which monthly installments of Operating Costs shall have been made as aforesaid, the total of such monthly remittances is greater than the actual Operating Costs for such year, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant, or credit against the next accruing payments to be made by Tenant pursuant to this subsection 4.2.3, the difference; if the total of such remittances is less than the Operating Costs for such year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within twenty (20) days from the date Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an itemized statement of the Operating Costs, prepared, allocated and computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Landlord shall pay the amount requested in the applicable Completed Application for Payment to Tenant within 30 days following Tenant’s submission of the Completed Application for Payment. If, however, the Completed Application for Payment is incomplete or incorrect, Landlord’s payment of such request shall be deferred until 30 days following Landlord’s receipt of the corrected Completed Application for Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Exhibit, Landlord shall not be obligated to make any disbursement of the Construction Allowance during the pendency of any of the following: (A) Landlord has received written notice of any unpaid claims relating to any portion of the Tenant’s Work or materials in connection therewith, other than claims which will be paid in full from such disbursement, (B) there is an unbonded lien outstanding against the Project or the Premises or Tenant’s interest therein by reason of work done, or claimed to have been done, or materials supplied or specifically fabricated, claimed to have been supplied or specifically fabricated, to or for Tenant or the Premises, (C) the conditions to the advance of the Construction Allowance are not satisfied, or (D) an Event of Default by Tenant exists.

The Construction Allowance must be used (that is, the Tenant’s Work must be fully complete and the Construction Allowance disbursed) within twenty-four (24) months following the Commencement Date or shall be deemed forfeited with no further obligation by Landlord with respect thereto, time being of the essence with respect thereto. The Construction Allowance may be used in Tenant’s discretion for Tenant’s Work with no stipulation from Landlord as to how much of the Construction Allowance is allocated within the various spaces in the Premises.
