Construction Allowance (a) Landlord shall provide to Tenant a construction allowance not to exceed $135.00 per rentable square foot in the Relocation Premises (the “Construction Allowance”) to be applied toward the Total Construction Costs, as adjusted for any changes to the Tenant Work. If the Total Construction Costs are estimated to exceed the Construction Allowance by more than $5.00 per rentable square foot of the Relocation Premises, then no advance of the Construction Allowance shall be made by Landlord until Tenant has first paid to the contractor from its own funds (and provided reasonable evidence thereof to Landlord) the anticipated amount by which the projected Total Construction Costs exceed the amount of the Construction Allowance. Thereafter, Landlord shall pay to Tenant (or at Tenant’s request directly to Tenant’s general contractor) the Construction Allowance in multiple disbursements (but not more than once in any calendar month) following the receipt by Landlord of the following items: (i) a request for payment and sworn statements of Tenant and contractor, (ii) final or partial lien waivers, as the case may be, from all persons performing work or supplying or fabricating materials for the Tenant Work, fully executed, acknowledged and in recordable form, which waivers may be conditioned upon receipt of payment, (iii) the Architect’s certification that the Tenant Work for which reimbursement has been requested has been finally completed, including (with respect to the last application for payment only) any punch-list items, on the appropriate AIA form or another form approved by Landlord, and, (iv) with respect to the disbursement of the last 10% of the Construction Allowance, (1) the permanent certificate of occupancy issued for the Relocation Premises, if required by applicable law, (2) the record drawing in CAD format, PDF format and hard copy required by Section 5 above, and (3) an estoppel certificate confirming such factual matters as Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee may reasonably request (collectively, a “Completed Application for Payment”). 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 shall promptly notify Tenant of the same and 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: (1) Landlord has received written notice of any unpaid claims relating to any portion of the Tenant Work or materials in connection therewith covered by previously funded applications for payment, (2) there is an unbonded lien outstanding against the Building or the Relocation 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 Relocation Premises, (3) the conditions to the advance of the Construction Allowance are not satisfied, or (4) Tenant is in Default under the Lease. (b) The Construction Allowance must be used on Tenant Work performed within the Relocation Premises and the Total Construction Costs and may not be used to pay for furniture, fixtures or equipment or as rent abatement, HOWEVER, notwithstanding the foregoing, provided Tenant is not in Default, Tenant may use a portion of the Construction Allowance, not to exceed an amount equal to $35.00 per rentable square foot of the Relocation Premises, to pay for furniture, fixtures or equipment, moving costs, cabling costs, and other soft costs associated with the Relocation Premises. Should Tenant elect to use a portion of the Construction Allowance to pay for such soft costs, at Landlord’s request Tenant shall execute and deliver a letter to Landlord confirming the exact amount of the Construction Allowance used to pay for such soft costs. Should Tenant elect to use a portion of the Construction Allowance to pay for such costs, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written request that includes copies of paid invoices or receipts for reimbursement of such costs, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such amounts within 30 days of receipt of Tenant’s request. Tenant shall provide lien waivers as appropriate. No portion of the Construction Allowance may be used as a credit against Rent due under the Lease. (c) The Construction Allowance must be used (i.e. work performed and invoices submitted to Landlord) by June 30, 2020, or the Construction Allowance shall be deemed forfeited with no further obligation by Landlord with respect thereto. (d) If Landlord defaults in Landlord’s obligation to pay the Construction Allowance pursuant to Section 9 of this Exhibit B-1, or any portion thereof, within five (5) days after the date the same is due, then Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord a second written notice (“Offset Exercise Notice”) requesting payment of such unpaid amounts and notifying Landlord that Tenant intends to offset against rent if not paid. In the event that Landlord fails to contest in good faith or fully pay such amounts within ten (10) business days after such Offset Exercise Notice is received by Landlord, then provided no Default exists Tenant may withhold and offset such unpaid sums from and against 25% of Base Rent next due until paid.
Vacation Allowance Employees in permanent positions are entitled to vacation with pay. Accrual is based upon straight time hours of working time per calendar month of service and begins on the date of appointment to a permanent position. Increased accruals begin on the first of the month following the month in which the employee qualifies. Accrual for portions of a month shall be in minimum amounts of one (1) hour calculated on the same basis as for partial month compensation pursuant to Section 5.6 of this MOU.

Education Allowance Provisions in existing Collective Agreements providing for educational allowances shall be continued in effect.
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.
