Excess Costs If the sum of the Permitted Costs exceeds the Finish Allowance, then Tenant shall pay all such excess costs (“Excess Costs”), provided, however, Landlord will, prior to the commencement of construction of Tenant’s Improvements, advise Tenant of the Excess Costs, if any, and the Contract Sum. Tenant shall have two (2) business days from and after the receipt of such advice within which to approve or disapprove the Contract Sum and Excess Costs. If Tenant fails to approve same by the expiration of the fourth such business day, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the proposed Contract Sum and Excess Costs. If Tenant disapproves the Contract Sum and Excess Costs within such two (2) business day period, then Tenant shall either reduce the scope of Tenant’s Improvements such that there shall be no Excess Costs or, at Tenant’s option, Landlord shall obtain two (2) additional bids, provided that each day beyond a four (4) business day period and until the rebid is accepted by Tenant shall constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder. Subject to the last sentence of this subsection, the foregoing process shall continue until a Contract Sum and resulting Excess Costs, if any, are accepted or deemed accepted by Tenant.
