After obtaining the Estimate, Landlord and Tenant thereafter shall diligently consult to make such modifications to Landlord’s Work as Tenant determines are necessary to reduce the cost of Landlord’s Work. Within fifteen (15) business days after obtaining the Estimate, Landlord will obtain from the selected contractor final pricing for the Landlord’s Work (the “Final Pricing”) for Tenant’s approval.

The Final Pricing shall not be modified except by a change order approved by Landlord and Tenant.
