Changes and Alterations Except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein, Tenant shall have no authority, without the express written consent of Landlord to alter, remodel, reconstruct, demolish, add to, improve or otherwise change the Leased Premises, except that Tenant shall have such authority, without the consent of Landlord, to build substructures; add, remove, or modify internal wiring; erect or remove non-load bearing walls; add or remove internal doors; construct internal clean room(s); make repairs to the Leased Premises and do such other things as are appropriate to comply with the obligations imposed on Tenant under other provisions of this Lease. Except as otherwise outlined herein, Tenant shall not construct or permit any alterations, installations, additions or improvements including any interior or exterior signs (“Alterations”) to the Leased Premises or the Building without having first submitted to Landlord plans and specifications therefor for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided that:
Alterations For purposes of this Lease, any physical improvement addition, enhancement or change with respect to all or any portion of the Premises is referred to as an "Alteration." Tenant or Franchisor shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to make or cause to be made any Alteration in or to the Premises (i) without Landlord's consent, if such Alteration is performed in order to comply with any of Tenant's agreements with Franchisor and such Alteration does not adversely affect any structural component of the Building and (ii) in the case of any Alteration other than those permitted under clause (i) above, with Landlord's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that such Alteration does not (A) diminish the value of the Premises (including, by way of example only, but without limitation, by diminishing the utility of the Improvements for use as a restaurant or diminishing the useful life of the Improvements), except to a de minimis extent, or (B) adversely affect any structural component of the Building. Every Alteration shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws, legal requirements and the Permitted Encumbrances. If Tenant shall submit a request to Landlord for Landlord's approval of an Alteration which requires Landlord's approval, Landlord shall (x) approve such Alteration proposed by Tenant within twenty-one (21) days of receiving Tenant's proposal and request for approval or (y) disapprove Tenant's proposal in writing with a detailed explanation of its objections within twenty-one (21) days of receiving Tenant's proposal and request for approval. If Tenant submits a proposal to Landlord and Landlord disapproves such proposal within the twenty-one (21) day time period, Tenant may submit another proposal with modifications thereto made in response to Landlord's objections and Landlord shall so approve or disapprove same within seven (7) days after submission of such modified proposal. If Landlord does not approve or disapprove any proposal or modified proposal in writing with a detailed explanation of its objections within the applicable seven (1) or twenty-one (21) day period, Tenant may submit to Landlord a reminder notice, which shall state that Landlord's failure to disapprove the applicable proposal within seven (7) days after receipt of such reminder notice shall be deemed to constitute Landlord's approval thereof. If Landlord does not disapprove such proposal or modified proposal in writing with a detailed explanation of Landlord's objections to Tenant's modifications within seven (7) days after receipt of Tenant's reminder notice, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the Alterations proposed by Tenant.
Repairs and Alterations There shall be no obligation on the part of Landlord or Sublessor to make any repairs, alterations or improvements in order to make the Premises ready for occupancy by Sublessee. Prior to making any repairs, alterations or improvements on the Premises, Sublessee shall obtain the prior written consent thereto of both Landlord and Sublessor. Any alterations, additions, or improvements made to the Premises, or Sublessee’s behalf, whether at the expense of Sublessee or Sublessor, including but not limited to, wall covering, carpeting, or other floor covering, paneling and built-in cabinets shall be deemed a part of the real estate and the property of Sublessor and shall be surrendered with the Premises unless Landlord or Sublessor, by notice given to Sublessee no later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Term, shall elect to have Sublessee remove such alterations, additions, or improvements. Sublessee shall thereupon accomplish such removal at its sole cost and repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal. In the event that Sublessor consents in writing to any alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises by Sublessee, they shall be made at the sole cost of Sublessee by licensed contractors or workmen approved by Sublessor. Sublessee shall secure all appropriate governmental approvals and permits and shall complete such alterations with due diligence. Any consent or approval given by Landlord or Sublessor hereunder shall not give rise to rights to third parties to file mechanic’s or materialman’s liens, nor waive Sublessor’s prohibition against such liens, nor in any manner abrogate that Section of this Sublease requiring Sublessee to keep Premises free of liens.
AMENDMENT OR ALTERATION No amendment or alteration of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by both of the parties hereto.
Removal of Alterations If Tenant fails to remove by the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease all of its personal property, or any Alterations identified by Landlord for removal, Landlord may, at its option, treat such failure as a hold-over pursuant to Subparagraph 11(b) above, and/or Landlord may (without liability to Tenant for loss thereof) treat such personal property and/or Alterations as abandoned and, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and in addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity: (a) remove and store such items; and/or (b) upon ten (10) days prior notice to Tenant, sell, discard or otherwise dispose of all or any such items at private or public sale for such price as Landlord may obtain or by other commercially reasonable means. Tenant shall be liable for all costs of disposition of Tenant's abandoned property and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant with respect to any such abandoned property. Landlord agrees to apply the proceeds of any sale of any such property to any amounts due to Landlord under this Lease from Tenant (including Landlord's attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in the removal, storage and/or sale of such items), with any remainder to be paid to Tenant.
Permitted Alterations Tenant shall not make or permit any Alterations without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Alterations (i) affect the exterior of the Building or the outside areas of the Property or the Building (or be visible from adjoining sites), (ii) affect or penetrate any of the structural portions of the Building, including, but not limited to, the roof, (iii) require any change to the basic floor plan of the Premises, any change to the structural or mechanical components of the Premises, or any governmental approval or permit as a prerequisite to the construction thereof, (iv) interfere in any manner with the proper functioning of or Landlord’s access to any mechanical, electrical, plumbing or HVAC systems, facilities or equipment located in or serving the Building, or (v) diminish the value of the Premises. All Alterations shall be constructed pursuant to plans and specifications previously provided to and, when applicable, approved in writing by Landlord, shall be installed by a licensed contractor at Tenant’s sole expense in compliance with all Applicable Laws, and shall be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner conforming in quality and design with the Premises existing as of the Commencement Date and in accordance with the provisions of Section 22.1 below. No Hazardous Materials, including, but not limited to, asbestos or asbestos-containing materials, shall be used by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents in the construction or installation of any Alterations permitted hereunder. All Alterations made by Tenant shall be and become the property of Landlord upon the construction or installation thereof and shall not be deemed Tenant’s Personal Property; provided, however, that Landlord may, at its option and by notice delivered to Tenant at the time of Landlord’s approval, require that Tenant, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, at Tenant’s expense, remove any or all Alterations and return the Premises to its condition as of the Commencement Date, normal wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of any and all Alterations made by or for the benefit of Tenant (including, without limitation, by Landlord for the benefit of Tenant). In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any increase in Real Property Taxes that are attributable to any Alterations, which payment shall be made by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.1, Tenant, without Landlord’s consent, may make minor Alterations to the Premises which do not affect the Building’s structure or operating systems and that do not cost more than $50,000.00 per project; provided however, Tenant shall provide notice no less than ten (10) business days’ notice of such Alterations.
