• Alterations and Tenant’s Property Any alterations, additions, or improvements made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, including additional locks or bolts of any kind or nature upon any doors or windows in the Premises, but excluding installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems (other than removal of furniture systems owned or paid for by Landlord) not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to Building Systems (as defined in Section 13) (“Alterations”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion if any such Alteration affects the structure or Building Systems and shall not be otherwise unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant may construct nonstructural cosmetic Alterations in the Premises without Landlord’s prior approval if the aggregate cost of all such work in any 12 month period does not exceed $50,000 (a “Notice-Only Alteration”), provided Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of such intended Notice-Only Alteration, and such notice shall be accompanied by plans, specifications, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the Notice-Only Alteration as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, which notice and accompanying materials shall be delivered to Landlord not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction. If Landlord approves any Alterations, Landlord may impose such conditions on Tenant in connection with the commencement, performance and completion of such Alterations as Landlord may deem appropriate in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Any request for approval shall be in writing, delivered not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction, and accompanied by plans, specifications, bid proposals, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the alterations as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, including the identities and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials. Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to ensure that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, all Alterations to comply with insurance requirements and with Legal Requirements and shall implement at its sole cost and expense any alteration or modification required by Legal Requirements as a result of any Alterations. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on demand an amount equal to 5% of all charges incurred by Tenant or its contractors or agents in connection with any Alteration to cover Landlord’s overhead and expenses for plan review, coordination, scheduling and supervision. Before Tenant begins any Alteration, Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for, and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from, any expense incurred by Landlord by reason of faulty work done by Tenant or its contractors, delays caused by such work, or inadequate cleanup. Tenant shall furnish security or make other arrangements satisfactory to Landlord to assure payment for the completion of all Alterations work free and clear of liens, and shall provide (and cause each contractor or subcontractor to provide) certificates of insurance for workers’ compensation and other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction. Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and subcontractors who did the work and final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors; and (ii) “as built” plans for any such Alteration. Except for Removable Installations (as hereinafter defined), all Installations (as hereinafter defined) shall be and shall remain the property of Landlord during the Term and following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, shall not be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, at the time its approval of any such Installation is requested, or at the time it receives notice of a Notice-Only Alteration, notify Tenant that Landlord requires that Tenant remove such Installation upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, in which event Tenant shall remove such Installation in accordance with the immediately succeeding sentence. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove (i) all wires, cables or similar equipment which Tenant has installed in the Premises or in the risers or plenums of the Building, (ii) any Installations for which Landlord has given Tenant notice of removal in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and (iii) all of Tenant’s Property (as hereinafter defined), and Tenant shall restore and repair any damage caused by or occasioned as a result of such removal, including, without limitation, capping off all such connections behind the walls of the Premises and repairing any holes. During any restoration period beyond the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord as provided herein as if said space were otherwise occupied by Tenant. If Landlord is requested by Tenant or any lender, lessor or other person or entity claiming an interest in any of Tenant’s Property to waive any lien Landlord may have against any of Tenant’s Property, and Landlord consents to such waiver, then Landlord shall be entitled to be paid as administrative rent a fee of $1,000 per occurrence for its time and effort in preparing and negotiating such a waiver of lien.

• Tenant’s Property All movable non-structural partitions, business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, communications equipment and office equipment that are installed in the Premises by, or for the account of, Tenant and without expense to Landlord and that can be removed without structural damage to the Property, and all furniture, furnishings and other articles of movable personal property owned by Tenant and located in the Premises (collectively, the "TENANT'S PROPERTY") shall be and shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term, provided Tenant repairs or pays the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises or to the Property resulting from the installation and/or removal thereof. At or before the Expiration Date, or the date of any earlier termination, Tenant, at its expense, shall remove from the Premises all of Tenant's Property and any Alterations (except such items thereof as constitute Landlord's Property; or as Landlord shall have expressly permitted, in writing, to remain, which property shall become the property of Landlord), and Tenant shall repair (to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction) any damage to the Premises or the Property resulting from any installation and/or removal of Tenant's Property. Any other items of Tenant's Property that shall remain in the Premises after the Expiration Date, or following an earlier termination date, may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have been abandoned, and in such case, such items may be retained by Landlord as its property or be disposed of by Landlord, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion and without accountability, at Tenant's expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is in default under the terms of this Lease, Tenant may remove Tenant's Property from the Premises only upon the express written direction of Landlord.

• ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS Tenant shall make no alterations to the buildings or improvements on the Premises or construct any building or make any other improvements on the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any and all alterations, changes, and/or improvements built, constructed or placed on the Premises by Tenant shall, unless otherwise provided by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, be and become the property of Landlord and remain on the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

• Alterations, Additions, and Improvements Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, Lessee may make any alterations, additions, improvements or other changes to the Premises and the Relevant Assets as may be necessary or useful in connection with the operation of the Relevant Assets (collectively, the “Additional Improvements”). If such Additional Improvements require alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises or any of the Shared Access Facilities, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing in advance and the parties shall negotiate in good faith any increase to the fees paid by Lessee under the Site Services Agreement by Lessee or otherwise provide for reimbursement of any material increase in cost (if any) to Lessor under the Site Services Agreement that results from any modifications to the Premises or the Shared Access Facilities necessary to accommodate the Additional Improvements, or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Any alteration, addition, improvement or other change to the Premises, Relevant Assets or Additional Improvements (and, if agreed by Lessee and Lessor, to the Shared Access Facilities) by Lessee shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Laws. The Relevant Assets and all Additional Improvements shall remain the property of Lessee and shall be removed by Lessee within one (1) year after termination of this Lease (provided that such can be removed by Lessee without unreasonable damage or harm to the Premises) or, at Lessee’s option exercisable by notice to Lessor, surrendered to Lessor upon the termination of this Lease. Lessee shall not have the right or power to create or permit any lien of any kind or character on the Premises by reason of repair or construction or other work. In the event any such lien is filed against the Premises, Lessee shall cause such lien to be discharged or bonded within thirty (30) days of the date of filing thereof.

• Improvements and Alterations (a) The Lessee, at the Lessee’s own cost and expense, (i) shall make alterations, renovations, repairs, improvements and additions to the Leased Property or any part thereof and substitutions and replacements therefor (collectively, “Alterations”) which are (A) necessary to repair or maintain the Improvements or the Site in the condition required by Section 9.1 or (B) necessary or advisable to restore the Improvements and the Site to its condition existing prior to a Casualty or Condemnation to the extent required pursuant to Article XIII, and (ii) so long as no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, may undertake Alterations on the Leased Property so long as such Alterations comply in all material respects with Applicable Laws and are consistent and comply with Section 9.1 and subsection (b) of this Section 9.2. (b) The making of any Alterations pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above of this Section 9.2 must be in compliance with the following requirements: The Lessee shall not make any Alterations in violation of the terms of any restriction, easement, condition, covenant or other similar matter affecting title to or binding on the Improvements or the Site. (i) No Alterations shall be undertaken until the Lessee shall have procured and paid for, so far as the same may be required from time to time, all permits and authorizations relating to such Alterations of all municipal and other Authorities having jurisdiction over the Improvements or the Site. Lessor, at the Lessee’s expense, shall join in the application for any such permit or authorization and execute and deliver any document in connection therewith, whenever such joinder is necessary or advisable; provided that, however, such joinder shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute, any assumption or responsibility or liability whatsoever. (ii) The Alterations shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws then in effect and with the Insurance Requirements. (iii) All Alterations shall, when completed, be of such a character as to not materially diminish (A) the utility of the Improvements as a corporate office complex including a corporate office building and any uses ancillary thereto, (B) the then current Fair Market Value as determined by reference to the Appraisal, or (C) the Fair Market Value as determined by reference to the Appraisal as of the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term. (iv) The Lessee shall have made adequate arrangements for payment of the cost of all Alterations when due so that the Improvements and the Site shall at all times be free of Liens for labor and materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Improvements or the Site, other than Permitted Liens; provided, that the Lessee shall have the right to engage in Permitted Contests in accordance with Section 9.5. (v) The Alterations must be located solely on the Site.

• Removal of Tenant’s Property Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant's right of possession of the Premises only, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, for a period of fifteen ( 15) days thereafter to remove Tenant's Property, Distinctive Property and the Financed Personalty, respectively, from the Premises, provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent due under Article 3 hereof for the actual number of days which elapse during such fifteen (15) day period until the Tenant's Property, Distinctive Property and the Financed Personalty, as applicable, are removed from the Premises. If and to the extent that Tenant fails to remove any of such property by the expiration of said fifteen (15) day period, Landlord agrees that Tenant Lender, TE Lender and Franchisor each shall have the right for a period of forty (45) days thereafter to remove the same from the Premises, provided that Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent due hereunder for the actual number of days which elapse until Tenant Lender, TE Lender or Franchisor remove the same from the Premises during such forty five (45) day period. If and to the extent that any such property remains on the Premises on the sixtieth (60th) day after such termination, the same shall be deemed abandoned, and at Landlord's option shall become the property of Landlord and may be sold or disposed of as Land-lord may determine; provided, however, that Landlord shall not use, suffer or permit the use of any Distinctive Property unless the attributes or features thereof associated with Tenant or Franchisor are removed or obliterated. Any and all damage to the Building caused by or resulting from the removal of Tenant's Property, Distinctive Property or Financed Personalty shall promptly be repaired at no cost or expense to Landlord and Tenant shall be liable for such cost and expense unless such repairs are made by Tenant, Franchisor or TE Lender, as the case may be.

• Additions and Alterations After Substantial Completion of the Facility and Leased Premises, Lessee shall have the right to make, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, additions, alterations, and changes ("Alterations"), in or to the Leased Premises or the Improvements, provided Lessee shall not then be in default in the performance of any of Lessee's covenants or agreements in this Lease, subject, however, in all cases to the following: (1) No Alterations of any kind shall be made without the prior written consent of Lessor if the Alterations would tend to: (a) change the general character or structure of the Improvements on the Leased Premises, or (b) reduce or impair the value, rental, rental value, rentability, or usefulness of the Leased Premises or the Improvements or any part of same; (2) No Alterations shall be undertaken until Lessee shall have procured and paid for, to the extent the same may be required from time to time, all permits and authorizations of all municipal departments and governmental subdivisions having jurisdiction, and complied with all other laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, permits, or licenses relating to the Alterations; (3) Any structural Alterations involving in the aggregate an estimated cost of more than $ shall be conducted under the supervision of an architect or engineer selected by Lessee and approved in advance and in writing by Lessor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). No such structural Alterations shall be made, except in accordance with detailed plans and specifications and cost estimates prepared and approved in writing by such architect or engineer and approved in advance and in writing by Lessor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event of Lessor's disapproval, Lessor shall give to Lessee an itemized statement of reasons for the disapproval. If Lessor does not disapprove the plans and specifications provided for in this paragraph within fifteen (15) days after they have been submitted to Lessor, the plans and specifications shall be deemed to have been approved by Lessor. Prior to commencing any work under this Section 11, Lessee shall furnish Lessor, on demand, with a good and sufficient surety bond insuring the completion of the work and the payment of all bills in connection with the work. (4) Any Alterations shall be made promptly, subject to Force Majeure Delay, and in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, permits, or licenses, and all insurance policy provisions and requirements; (5) The cost of any such alterations shall be paid solely by Lessee in cash or its equivalent, including the cost of labor and materials supplied to the Leased Premises or the Improvements; (6) Workers' compensation insurance covering all persons employed in connection with the Alteration work and with respect to whom death or bodily injury claims could be asserted against Lessor, Lessee, or the Leased Premises or the Improvements, and commercial general liability insurance for the mutual benefit of Lessor and Lessee with limits of not less than $ in the event of bodily injury or death to one person and not less than $ in the event of bodily injury or death to any number of persons in any one accident, and with limits of not less than $ for damages or injury to property, with not more than a $ deductible, shall be maintained by Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense at all times when any substantial work is in progress in connection with any Alterations. All such insurance, if readily obtainable, shall be effected under standard form policies issued by insurers of recognized responsibility, which are duly licensed to issue such insurance in the State of Oklahoma and well rated by national rating organizations. SECTION TWELVE INSPECTIONS Lessee shall permit Lessor, Lessor’s agents, employees, and contractors to enter all parts of the Leased Premises and the Improvements during Lessee's regular business hours to inspect the same and to enforce or carry out any provisions of this Lease, provided Lessee is given reasonable advance notice, which may be verbal (except in an emergency, in which case no notice shall be necessary), and Lessee's Permitted Use shall not be unreasonably interfered with by Lessor during any entry authorized in this Section 12.

• Alterations and Repairs Lessee shall not make or permit to be made any other alterations, additions, improvements, or changes (collectively, “Alterations”), in the premises, without Lessor’s prior written approval, which approval Lessor may withhold in Lessor’s sole discretion. Subject to the services to be rendered by Lessor as set forth in the Schedule, Lessee shall, at Lessee’s expense, keep the premises generally consistent with the standard maintained by other tenants of premises in the Building during the tenancy. If Lessee does not make repairs promptly and adequately, Lessor may, but need not, make repairs, and Lessee shall pay promptly the reasonable cost thereof. At any time or times, Lessor, either voluntarily or pursuant to governmental requirement, may, at Lessor’s expense, make repairs, alterations, or improvements in or to the Building or any part thereof, including the premises, and, during such operations Lessor may close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators, or other facilities, all without any liability to Lessee or deduction of rent by reason of interference, inconvenience, or annoyance; provided that Lessee shall have access to the premises sufficient for conduct of Lessee’s business. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any expense, injury, loss, or damage resulting from work done in or upon, or the use of, any adjacent or nearby building, land, street, or alley, provided that Lessor makes a reasonable effort to minimize the disruption to Lessee’s business. In the event Lessee requests that repairs, alterations, decorating, or other work in the premises be made during periods other than ordinary business hours, Lessee shall pay Lessor for overtime and other additional expenses incurred because of such request.
