Tenant shall be allowed to make any material structural alterations, additions or improvements to the Leased Property with the prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed and shall be deemed given if not denied in writing with specific reasons therefor within fifteen (15) days after written request therefor. Any alteration, addition or improvement made by Tenant after such consent shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations. Except as otherwise set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant may make any other alterations, additions or improvements to the Leased Property as Tenant may elect, all at its sole cost and expense, provided that Tenant does so in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations. All alterations, additions and improvements made pursuant to this Section 9(a) shall be surrendered with the Leased Property upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term and shall thereupon become the property of Landlord without any compensation to Tenant.

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.

Landlord's Consent to Alterations. Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises or any mechanical, plumbing or HVAC facilities or systems pertaining to the Premises (collectively, the "Alterations") without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than ten (10) business days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord, provided it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration which adversely affects the structural portions or the systems or equipment of the Building or is visible from the exterior of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to make Alterations following ten (10) business days' notice to Landlord (as to Alterations costing more than $10,000 only), but without Landlord's prior consent, to the extent that such Alterations # do not affect the building systems or equipment (other than minor changes such as adding or relocating electrical outlets and thermostats), # are not visible from the exterior of the Building, and # cost less than $100,000.00 for a particular job of work. The construction of the Tenant Improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.

Tenant shall not make, or allow to be made, any alterations, physical additions, improvements or partitions, including without limitation the attachment of any fixtures or equipment, in, about or to the Premises (“Alterations”) without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to proposed Alterations which: # comply with all applicable Regulations (defined below); # are, in Landlord’s opinion, compatible with the Building or the Project and its mechanical, plumbing, electrical, heating/ventilation/air conditioning systems, and will not cause the Building or Project or such systems to be required to be modified to comply with any Regulations (including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act); and # will not interfere with the use and occupancy of any other portion of the Building or Project by any other tenant or its invitees. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant must obtain Landlord’s written consent for all plans and specifications for the proposed Alterations, construction means and methods, all appropriate permits and licenses, any contractor or subcontractor to be employed on the work of Alterations, and the time for performance of such work, and may impose rules and regulations for contractors and subcontractors performing such work. Tenant shall also supply to Landlord any documents and information requested by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s consideration of a request for approval hereunder. Tenant shall cause all Alterations to be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner, and to comply with all applicable Regulations. Tenant shall at Tenant’s sole expense, perform any additional work required under applicable Regulations due to the Alterations hereunder. No review or consent by Landlord of or to any proposed Alteration or additional work shall constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 8.1. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs which Landlord may incur in connection with granting approval to Tenant for any such Alterations, including any costs or expenses which Landlord may incur in electing to have outside architects and engineers review said plans and specifications. All such Alterations shall remain the property of Tenant until the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, at which time they shall be and become the property of Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, require that Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, remove any or all Alterations made by Tenant and restore the Premises by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, to their condition existing prior to the construction of any such Alterations. All such removals and restoration shall be accomplished in a first- class and good and workmanlike manner so as not to cause any damage to the Premises or Project whatsoever. If Tenant fails to remove such Alterations or Tenant’s trade fixtures or furniture or other personal property, Landlord may keep and use them or remove any of them and cause them to be stored or disposed of in accordance with applicable law, at Tenant’s sole expense.
