Future Alterations. Tenant shall not make or permit anyone to make any Alterations in or to the Premises or the Building, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or granted in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion with respect to Structural Alterations and those Alterations which are not Structural Alterations which adversely affect the architectural character of the Building (including, without limitation, any Alteration which is directly adjacent to any exterior window), and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to all other Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to make Cosmetic Changes within the Premises without requiring the consent of Landlord. Any Alterations made by Tenant shall be made: # in a good, workmanlike, first-class and reasonably prompt manner; # using new or comparable materials only (it being agreed that reclaimed or recycled products of a first class nature shall be permitted by the foregoing); # by a contractor reasonably approved in writing by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), # on days and at times reasonably approved in writing by Landlord; # for Alterations requiring a building permit which are customarily overseen by an architect, under the supervision of an architect designated by Tenant and reasonably approved in writing by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); # in substantial accordance with plans and specifications reasonably acceptable to Landlord, which plans and specifications shall be approved in writing by Landlord at Landlord’s standard charge (and with such acceptance by Landlord not to be unreasonably conditioned or delayed); # in accordance with all Laws and in compliance with the Master Deed, the Declaration of Trust and the Building rules and regulations described in Article XVI hereof and Landlord’s standard and reasonable operating procedures as adopted by Landlord from time to time by written notice to Tenant; # after having obtained any required consent of the holder of any Mortgage of whom Tenant has notice (which Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain where it has approved the Alterations in question); # after obtaining public liability, worker’s compensation and builder’s risk insurance policies (or the equivalent thereof) reasonably approved in writing by Landlord; # after having entered into a written agreement with any contractor, sub-contractor or sub-subcontractor whereby such entity shall be required to # indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all Claims claimed against Landlord by any third party, directly or indirectly, based on, arising out of, or resulting from any negligence or willful misconduct by such contractor, sub-contractor or sub-subcontractor with respect to such entity’s work, and # obtain and maintain insurance as set forth in [Exhibit H] to this Lease, which policies shall cover every person who will perform any work with respect to such Alteration under or through such entity; and # with the obligation for Tenant to obtain and deliver to Landlord written, unconditional full or partial (as applicable) waivers of mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens against the Premises, the Commercial/Garage Unit and the Building within ten (10) business days after the applicable portion of the Alterations are completed; and # obtain such payment, performance lien bonds as Landlord shall reasonably require taking into consideration the financial condition of Tenant, except Landlord agrees that the originally named Tenant under this Lease and any Permitted Transferee or Affiliate of such originally named Tenant to which this Lease has been assigned will not be required to obtain any payment, performance or lien bonds or other security for the performance of Alterations to the Premises. If any lien (or a petition to establish such lien) is filed in connection with any Alteration made by or on behalf of Tenant, such lien (or petition) shall be discharged by Tenant within fourteen (14) days thereafter, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, by the payment thereof or by the filing of a reasonably acceptable bond that complies with all applicable Laws. If Landlord gives its consent to the making of any Alteration, such consent shall not be deemed to be an agreement or consent by Landlord to subject its interest in the Premises or the Building to any liens which may be filed in connection therewith. Tenant acknowledges that any Alterations are accomplished for Tenant’s account, Landlord having no obligation or responsibility in respect thereof except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease. Landlord’s approval of any plans and drawings (and changes thereto) regarding any Alterations or any contractor or subcontractor performing such Alterations shall not constitute Landlord’s representation that such approved plans, drawings, changes or Alterations comply with all Laws. Any deficiency in design or construction, although same had prior approval of Landlord, shall be solely the responsibility of Tenant. Certain Alterations involving structural, electrical, mechanical or plumbing work, the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system of the Premises or the Building, fire and life safety system, the roof of the Building or any other areas outside the Premises shall, at Landlord’s election, be performed by Landlord’s designated contractor or subcontractor at Tenant’s expense (provided the cost therefor is competitive and such contractor is able to perform the applicable work within a reasonable time). In connection with any Alteration, if Tenant does not contract with Landlord to make such Alteration, the supervision fee shall be one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the total hard cost, other than furniture, fixtures and equipment. Except with respect to Cosmetic Alterations and other Alterations not requiring a building permit, promptly after the completion of such an Alteration, Tenant at its expense shall deliver to Landlord three (3) sets of accurate as-built (or record) drawings and CAD files showing such Alteration in place. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the performance of any Alterations pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX or of any other provisions of this Lease or the Exhibits hereto shall not be done in a manner which would violate any union contracts affecting the Building, or by which Landlord is bound, or create any work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption, disharmony or dispute or any interference with the business of Landlord or any tenant or occupant of the Building. Tenant shall immediately stop the performance of any Alterations or other activity if Landlord notifies Tenant that continuing such Alteration or activity would violate any union contracts affecting the Building, or by which Landlord is bound, or create any work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption, disharmony or dispute or any interference with the business of Landlord or any tenant or occupant of the Building.

Lessee may, at its sole expense, reimage the Premises and make such non-structural alterations and changes as Lessee shall deem necessary, provided, however, such alterations and changes shall neither impair the structural soundness nor diminish the value of the Premises provided Lessee first obtains the consent of the Lessor in writing. The Lessee may make structural alterations and additions to the Premises provided Lessee first obtains the consent of the Lessor in writing. The Lessor agrees that it shall not withhold such consents unreasonably. Any and all alterations shall be performed by a license contractor and with a city permit meeting their code.
