Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, no such prior written consent shall be required for interior, non-structural Alterations that do not affect the Building systems or structure (including the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems, curtainwall, and roof system) (collectively, “Building Systems and Structure”) and which cost less than $100,000.00, provided that Tenant delivers a copy of the plans and specifications for the same to Landlord in advance of undertaking such Alterations. Tenant shall provide Landlord reasonable prior notice of Alterations prior to commencing any Alterations (the “Alteration Notice”), whether or not prior consent is required. Except as set forth below, the Finish Work shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises. All fixtures, partitions (other than demountable walls) and items of personal property that are permanently affixed to the Premises or the Building systems, railings and like installations, installed in the Premises at any time, either by Tenant or by Landlord, such that removal of the same shall cause more than a de minimis amount of damage to the Premises or Building (“Fixtures”) shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises.

Alterations. Tenant, at its sole cost, may install necessary trade fixtures, equipment and furniture in the Premises (it being agreed that such installation shall not be deemed an Alteration), provided that the installation and removal of them will not adversely affect any structural portion of the Property, any Building System or any other equipment or facilities serving the Building. Except for any Alterations or Tenant Maintenance work that, in either instance, # does not exceed $50,000.00 in any one instance, # does not require a building permit or other similar instrument issued by the applicable governmental authority having jurisdiction, and # does not affect any Building System or any structural components of the Building, Tenant shall not construct, nor allow to be constructed, any Alterations or Tenant Maintenance work in the Premises or on the Property or the Project without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Landlord may impose any reasonable conditions to its consent, including, without limitation: # prior approval of the plans and specifications and contractor(s) with respect to the Alterations (provided that Landlord may designate specific contractors with respect to Building systems provided such contractors charge commercially competitive rates); # supervision by Landlord’s representative, at Tenant’s expense, of the Alterations, not to exceed three percent (3%) of the hard and soft costs of the Alteration; # proof of worker’s compensation insurance and commercial general liability insurance carried by Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors in such amounts and meeting such requirements as reasonably requested by Landlord; # delivery to Landlord of written and unconditional waivers of mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens as to the Project for all work, labor and services to be performed and materials to be furnished, signed by all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen and laborers participating in the Alterations; # delivery of permits, certificates of occupancy, “as-built” plans, and equipment manuals; and # in the case of Alterations that exceed $200,000 in the aggregate during a 12-month period, any security for performance or payment that is reasonably required by Landlord.

Section 1926.1001, et seq.) and shall be performed in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease and all warranties in effect and in a good and workmanlike manner using material of a quality that is at least equal to the quality designated by Landlord as the minimum standard for the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s consent, to perform in the Premises any nonstructural Alteration; provided that Tenant has provided Landlord with at least ten (10) business days prior written notice of such Alteration and such Alteration # does not affect the other tenants of the Building or the Building’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC or fire, life safety systems or the roof, foundations, exterior walls or structural portions of the Building; # does not require any other alteration, addition, or improvement to be performed in or made to any portion of the Building or Project other than the Premises; # does not materially or negatively impact the future marketability of the Building or increase the Building’s assessed value for tax purposes; # does not alter the architectural or structural integrity of the Building; # does not require a building permit; # is not visible from the exterior of the Premises; # do not include any deviations from the Specifications or any light fixtures, entry doors, interior doors, HVAC diffusers or demountable walls; and # together with any other Alterations, does not exceed a cost of $200,000 in any one Calendar Year, unless such Alterations are comprised of carpet and paint only, in which case no such limit shall not apply (provided that Tenant shall not perform such Alterations in stages in order to subvert this provision).

If Landlord requires the removal of all or part of the Alterations pursuant to this Section 12.3, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair any damage to the Premises or the Project caused by such removal and restore the Premises and the Project to its condition prior to the construction of such Alterations, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

If Landlord fails to respond to any request for consent within the 10 day period set forth in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second request for consent. Tenant’s second request for consent must specifically state that Landlord’s failure to respond within a period of 5 days shall be deemed to be an approval by Landlord. In connection with its removal of Required Removables, Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises arising from that removal and shall restore the affected area to its pre- existing condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

Tenant will not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises which will contravene Landlord’s policies insuring against loss or damage by fire or other hazards, including but not limited to commercial general liability, or which will prevent Landlord from securing such policies in companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord. If any such alterations, additions or improvements cause the rate of fire or other insurance on the Premises by companies acceptable to Landlord to be increased beyond the minimum rate from time to time applicable to the Premises for permitted uses thereof (as reasonably documented by Landlord), Tenant will pay as Additional Rent the amount of any such increase promptly upon demand by Landlord. Within thirty (30) days receipt of reasonable documentation from Landlord following the completion of any alteration, addition, or improvement at the Premises by Tenant that requires the prior consent of Landlord, Landlord will be reimbursed for any reasonable outside consultant or design professional costs actually incurred by Landlord to review any plans or supervise construction work (not to exceed the lesser of $1,500.00 or 5% of Tenant’s “hard” construction costs).
