As soon as such final plans and specifications (“Alteration Plans”) are completed, Tenant shall deliver the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that Tenant shall not commence any such Alterations that require Landlord’s consent unless and until Tenant has received the written approval of Landlord of the Alteration Plans and any and all Lenders whose consent is required under any applicable Loan Document.
