In either case, Company will pay Service Provider such invoice amounts in full within ten (10) days of the date forwarded. From and after the date of this Agreement, to the extent that Company receives an invoice or other bill for services provided that relates to or includes expenses accrued or incurred for any period or portion of a period prior to the date hereof, (C) if such invoice relates in full to any period prior to the date hereof, Service Provider will forward such invoice to Company; and (D) if such invoice relates in part to any period prior to the date hereof and in part to any period subsequent to the date hereof, Company shall allocate responsibility for such invoice to periods before and after the date hereof with the Company being responsible for periods before the date hereof and Service Provider being responsible for periods after the date hereof.
