To the extent Landlord reasonably determines that the altered or unconstructed TI Item will delay the substantial completion of the Base, Shell and Core or otherwise delay the Delivery Date or Final Condition Date, in addition to notifying Tenant that such TI Item constitutes a Tenant Delay, Landlord may, upon prior notice to Tenant, modify such altered TI Item or construct the unconstructed TI Item, and deduct the cost thereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord) from the Improvement Allowance, in a manner necessary for Landlord to cause the substantial completion of the Base, Shell and Core.

If such Delay Notice is given later than two (2) business days after Landlord has actual knowledge of the existence of the Tenant Delay or Force Majeure Delay ("Date of Delay Knowledge"), then the Tenant Delay or Force Majeure Delay, as applicable, shall exclude the number of days from the third (3rd) business day following the Date of Delay Knowledge through the date the Delay Notice is given ("Delay Exclusion Period") but only to the extent that the consequence for the occurrence of a Tenant Delay or Force Majeure Delay continues during the Delay Exclusion Period.
