Tenant shall provide Landlord with final invoices, lien releases and certificates of occupancy (if required) or other City of Boulder sign offs on a percent completion basis. Provided that no default by Tenant then exists, Landlord shall have thirty (30) days after receipt thereof to remit portions of the TI Allowance owed to Tenant, expect to the extant Landlord reasonably disputes the payment.

To the extent Landlord renders services on Tenant's behalf, Landlord shall charge a market rate-construction management fee for any services rendered. The preliminary revised space plan, with one revision, shall be provided at Landlord's sole cost and expense to Tenant (not as part of the TI Allowance).





C.
City of Boulder Upgrade. Should Tenant's tenant improvement work trigger the City of Boulder to require additional work to the Premises or Property, as a condition to issuance of any permit Tenant must obtain to complete its tenant improvements, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of such work regardless of whether such work relates to the scope of tenant improvement work contemplated by Tenant. Tenant shall inform Landlord of any additional required work the City of Boulder requires and shall coordinate the completion of such additional work with Landlord.

6.  Operating Expenses. Any cap on any component of the Operating Expenses established in Section 5 of the Fourth Amendment is lifted. The 2017 annual Operating Expenses are estimated to be $4.75 per rentable square foot, subject to change based upon actual cost.
