In the event that Owner must incur an Extraordinary Expense, then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense which, if Borrower has the right to approve such expenditures pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, shall be subject to Lender’s approval, which approval may be granted or denied in Lender’s reasonable discretion.

The Over-Allowance Amount shall be disbursed by Landlord prior to the disbursement of any of the then remaining portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, and such disbursement shall be pursuant to the same procedure as the Tenant Improvement Allowance.
