Improvement Allowances Clause Samples

The Improvement Allowances clause defines the amount and terms under which a landlord provides funds to a tenant for making improvements or alterations to leased premises. Typically, this clause specifies the maximum allowance available, the types of improvements covered (such as interior build-outs or upgrades), and the process for obtaining reimbursement or direct payment. Its core practical function is to clarify financial responsibility for property enhancements, ensuring both parties understand the scope and limits of the landlord’s contribution and reducing disputes over improvement costs.
Improvement Allowances. To help pay for those costs which are incurred by Tenant in designing and constructing those improvements which Tenant desires to make to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Spaces (the “Fourth Amendment Improvements”), Landlord shall make each Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance available to Tenant. Landlord shall disburse each Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance on a monthly basis in accordance with customary construction disbursement procedures and upon receipt of a sworn construction statement and draw requests, with supporting invoices for actual costs incurred and lien waivers from all material contractors and subcontractors delivered one month in arrears; it being agreed, however, that Landlord shall not be required to disburse any portion of a Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance if Tenant is then in default of its obligations under the Lease. If the actual cost of the Fourth Amendment Improvements for any Fourth Amendment Expansion Space exceeds the amount of the Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance for such Fourth Amendment Expansion Space, Tenant shall pay the excess costs without reimbursement from Landlord as and when such excess costs become due and payable. If Tenant has not submitted requisitions covering all of the Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance for any Fourth Amendment Expansion Space on or before the Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance Expiration Date for such Fourth Amendment Expansion Space, then up to, but not more than, $5.00 per square foot of any unused portion of the Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance may be applied as a credit against the next installments of Rent due under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Tenant may pool the Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowances for use in paying the costs of designing and constructing improvements to any one or more of the Fourth Amendment Expansion Spaces, but Tenant shall not be entitled to draw upon a Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance prior to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space Delivery Date for such Fourth Amendment Expansion Space, or after the Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance Expiration Date. Landlord shall be permitted to offset against any Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance any amounts past due to Landlord by Tenant under this Lease. Each Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance shal...
