requirements, complies with Tenant's Plans, or is suitable or acceptable to

cost of the Work. The Allowance shall be paid in one lump sum payment by
Landlord to Tenant within ten (10) business days following Tenant's
submission to Landlord of a contract or contracts evidencing that the cost
of the Work equals or exceeds the amount of the Allowance. As the Work
progresses, Tenant shall require and collect, and submit copies to Landlord
of, general contractor's statements, architect certificates (as to
substantial completion of the stages of the Work as payments are being made
therefor) and partial and final lien waivers, as the case may be, covering
all Work (including design costs) for which the Allowance is being used to
pay costs thereof. Tenant shall be responsible for collecting and
submitting to Landlord the final lien waivers from all contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen involved in the Work. If any mechanic lien
is filed with respect to the Work, Tenant shall cause such lien to be
discharged and removed from public record within thirty (30) days after
such filing, or insure or bond over such lien to Landlord's reasonable
satisfaction within such thirty (30) day period, failing which Landlord may

cost and expense.
