For the purposes hereof, a “Requisition” shall mean written documentation showing in reasonable detail the costs of the Tenant’s Work then installed by Tenant in the Premises. Each Requisition shall be accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that all work covered by previous Requisitions has been fully paid. Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to inspect Tenant’s books and records relating to each Requisition in order to verify the amount thereof. Tenant shall submit Requisition(s) no more often than monthly. Landlord’s Contribution, less a 10% retainage (which retainage shall be payable as part of the final draw), shall be paid to the general contractor that performs Tenant’s Work, in periodic disbursements within twenty-five (25) days after receipt of the following documentation: (i) an application for payment and sworn statement of contractor substantially in the form of AIA Document G-702 covering all work for which disbursement is to be made to a date specified therein; (ii) a certification from an AIA architect substantially in the form of the Architect’s Certificate for Payment found in AIA Document G702, Application and Certificate of Payment; (iii) Contractor’s, subcontractor’s and material supplier’s waivers of liens which shall cover all Tenant’s Work for which disbursement is being requested and all other statements and forms required for compliance with the mechanics’ lien laws of the state in which the Relocation Premises is located, together with all such invoices, contracts, or other supporting data as Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee may reasonably require; (iv) a cost breakdown for each trade or subcontractor performing Tenant’s Work; (v) plans and specifications for Tenant’s Work, together with a certificate from an AIA architect that such plans and specifications comply in all material respects with all laws affecting the Building, Property and Relocation Premises; (vi) copies of all construction contracts for Tenant’s Work, together with copies of all change orders, if any; and (vii) a request to disburse from Tenant containing an approval by Tenant of the work done and a good faith estimate of the cost to complete Tenant’s Work.

In no event shall Landlord be required to disburse Landlord’s Contribution more than one (1) time per month. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of Landlord’s Contribution during the continuance of an uncured Default by Tenant under the Lease, and Landlord’s obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such Default is cured. If Tenant does not submit a request for payment of the entire Landlord’s Contribution to Landlord in accordance with the provisions contained in this Section II (D) on or before the date that is twelve (12) months after the Relocation Date, any unused amount shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being understood that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, abatement or other concession in connection therewith.

All costs and expenses in excess of such Allowance ----- shall be at Tenant's sole expense and shall be paid in accordance with this Section 5. If Landlord at any time determines that the cost of the Landlord's Work is likely to exceed the amount of the Allowance (such excess, the "Excess Amount"), Tenant shall elect either, or a combination, of the following two options with respect to the entire Excess Amount: (a) the payment by Tenant to Landlord of the Excess Amount concurrently with the performance of Landlord's Work in accordance with the terms of this Section 5, or (b) the election by Tenant to increase the Basic Monthly Rent under this Lease by an amount sufficient to fully amortize the Excess Amount over the Initial Term plus interest at 10 percent per annum. To the extent to which Tenant elects to pay the Excess Amount concurrently with the performance of Landlord's Work (pursuant to clause (a) above), Tenant shall advance fifty percent (50%) of such amount to Landlord prior to (and as a condition to) Landlord's commencing or completing the Landlord's Work and any failure by Tenant to pay such funds to Landlord within five (5) business days shall constitute a default under this Lease. Tenant shall pay the balance of such amount within ten (10) calendar days following its receipt of invoices therefor and Tenant's failure to do so shall constitute a default under this Lease. To the extent to which Tenant elects to amortize the Excess Amount through an increase to Basic Monthly Rent (pursuant to clause (b) above), Landlord and Tenant shall, prior to (and as a condition to) Landlord's commencing or completing the Landlord's Work, enter into an Amendment to this Lease setting forth such increased Basic Monthly Rent. Tenant's failure to execute and return such Amendment within 5 days after receipt shall constitute a default under this Lease.
