Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right without Landlord's consent, and in compliance with all other provisions of this Section, to make any non-structural alterations to the Leased Premises which do not materially impact the Building's mechanical or electrical systems, do not adversely affect the Building's appearance or value, and the cost of which does not exceed Forty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($45,000.00) in the aggregate, provided that Tenant gives Landlord fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any such alterations, along with copies of plans and specifications relating thereto. As a condition of such approval (or, with respect to any alterations permitted to be made by Tenant hereunder without Landlord's approval), Landlord hereby agrees that, upon written request by Tenant, at the time that Tenant is contemplating alterations, Landlord will inform Tenant as to whether such proposed alterations will be required to be removed by Tenant and restore the Leased Premises at the end of the Lease Term; otherwise, all such alterations shall at Landlord's option become a part of the realty and the property of Landlord, and shall not be removed by Tenant.
