As used in this Article, the term “modifications, alterations and/or improvements” shall include, without limitation, the installation of additional electrical outlets, overhead lighting fixtures, drains, sinks, partitions, doorways, or the like. If Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to remove any alterations or modifications at the end of the Lease Term, and the cost of such removal and restoration together with the cost of removal and restoration of all other alterations and modifications which Landlord may require Tenant to remove exceeds $25,000.00, then as a condition to granting its consent, Landlord may require Tenant to increase the amount of its Security Deposit hereunder to cover such costs to the extent they exceed $25,000.00.
