Provided that Tenant delivers requisitions to Landlord no more than once every sixty (60) days, such progress payments shall be made within sixty (60) days after the delivery to Landlord of requisitions therefor (the date that each requisition is delivered to Landlord being referred to herein as the “Requisition Delivery Date”), signed by an officer of Tenant, which requisitions shall set forth the names of each contractor and subcontractor to whom payment is due, and the amount thereof, and shall be accompanied by (i) copies of partial waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers covering all work and materials which were the subject of previous progress payments by Landlord and Tenant, (ii) a written certification from Tenant that the work for which the requisition is being made has been completed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, (iii) copies of canceled checks from Tenant’s general contractor evidencing the payment in full of the work for which such requisition is being made, and (iv) such other documents and information as Landlord may reasonably request.

If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s requisition as set forth above within ten (10) business days after the Requisition Delivery Date, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second written notice requesting such approval. Said second written notice shall include in bold uppercase writing that “PURSUANT TO THE EIGHTH AMENDMENT OF LEASE, LANDLORD’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THE ENCLOSED REQUISITION WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER LANDLORD’S RECEIPT OF THIS REQUEST, SHALL BE DEEMED TO MEAN THAT THE ENCLOSED REQUISIITON IS APPROVED BY LANDLORD.” If Tenant provides the second notice in accordance herewith and Landlord fails to respond to the second notice within five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt thereof, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy, such requisition shall be deemed approved, subject only to any written comments from Landlord’s lender or said lender’s servicer. All requisitions shall be submitted on AIA Form G702 and G703. All requisitions must be submitted on or before May 31, 2019 (the “3, 4, 5 Floor Final Submission Date”), time being of the essence as to such date; provided, however, if the Delivery Date is after June 1, 2016, the 3, 4, 5 Floor Final Submission Date shall be extended by the number of days after June 1, 2016 that the Delivery Date occurs. The amounts requested under Tenant’s final requisition of the 3, 4, 5 Floor Work Contribution (which shall include, without limitation, the 5% Retainage (as hereafter defined)) shall not be disbursed until all documentation required under this Article 8, together with (A) proof of the satisfactory completion of all required inspections and issuance of any required approvals, permits and sign-offs for Tenant’s Initial 3, 4, 5 Floor Work and other alterations to the Premises by all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction thereover (it being acknowledged that a copy of the back of the building permit with “sign-offs” from the applicable inspectors shall satisfy the requirements of this subsection (A)). Notwithstanding anything set forth above to the contrary, the requirements set forth in this subsection (A) shall not be a prerequisite to payment by Landlord of the final requisition of the 3, 4, 5 Floor Work Contribution; provided, however, should Tenant fail to submit the items required by this subsection (A), Landlord shall have the absolute right to retain an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the 3, 4, 5 Floor Work Contribution (“5% Retainage”) until such time as Tenant submits the items required by this subsection (A), (B) final “as-built” plans and specifications for Tenant’s Initial 3, 4, 5 Floor Work, (C) the issuance of final lien waivers by all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers (in each case having contracts with a value over $10,000) covering all of Tenant’s Initial 3, 4, 5 Floor Work, and (D) copies of canceled checks from Tenant’s general contractor evidencing the payment in full of Tenant’s Initial 3, 4, 5 Floor Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, the 3, 4, 5 Floor Work Contribution shall be paid by Landlord in no less than five (5) installments with each installment other than the final installment constituting no more than twenty percent (20%) of the 3, 4, 5 Floor Work Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 8, if Tenant fails to pay when due any sums due and payable to any of Tenant’s contractors or material suppliers, and Tenant shall fail to remove or bond any lien within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord of such failure, such failure shall constitute an event of default under the Lease without the requirement of any other notice of any kind, and, without limitation of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to promptly pay to such contractor or supplier all sums so due from Tenant, and sums so paid by Landlord shall be deemed additional rent and shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant an invoice therefor. Under no circumstance shall Landlord be required pursuant to this Agreement to contribute in excess of the 3, 4, 5 Floor Work Contribution. Any costs in excess of the 3, 4, 5 Floor Work Contribution shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Tenant shall be entitled to receive a portion of the 3, 4, 5 Floor Work Contribution (which portion shall in no event exceed $278,730.00 (the “3, 4, 5 Floor Maximum Portion”)) not actually expended by Tenant in the performance of Tenant’s Initial 3, 4, 5 Floor Work or Tenant’s other alterations and/or Soft Costs and/or not paid by Landlord as required herein, as a credit against Fixed Rent for the 3, 4, 5 Floor Space, but not additional rent, for the period beginning June 1, 2018 and continuing thereafter until exhausted but only provided on the condition that at the time of application of such credit, (i) Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, and (ii) Tenant has completed Tenant’s Initial 3, 4, 5 Floor Work and has provided to Landlord reasonable proof that Tenant has paid in full the cost of Tenant’s Initial 3, 4, 5 Floor Work and Soft Costs. For the sake of certainty, in the event that as of June 1, 2018 (subject to extension as set forth above, i.e., the day immediately following the 3, 4, 5 Floor Final Submission Date) with time being of the essence, Tenant shall have failed to requisition (in accordance with the Lease) a portion of the 3, 4, 5 Floor Work Contribution which exceeds the 3, 4, 5 Floor Maximum Portion, Tenant shall forever waive Tenant’s right to receive (in every respect, including, without limitation as a credit and/or as a work contribution) such excess portion of the 3, 4, 5 Floor Work Contribution over and above the 3, 4, 5 Floor Maximum Portion. No portion of the 3, 4, 5 Floor Work Contribution may be assigned by Tenant prior to the actual payment thereof by Landlord.
