Lessee expressly agrees to dispose of all tailings and other mining wastes in accordance with all applicable Laws and shall reclaim all of disturbed perimeter portions of any lakes created by mining such that those perimeter portions shall be left at a slope no steeper than four feet horizontal to one foot vertical within three (3) months of termination of the Lease Agreement.

Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decide whether and to what extent to use union labor on or in connection with Landlord’s Work, and shall use the TI General Contractor to construct all of Landlord’s TI Work. Landlord and Tenant shall each have a right to approve all subcontractors engaged in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements and to review and approve all competitive bids for any elements of the Tenant Improvements, such approval in each instance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either party.

Failure to provide same within said thirty (30) day period shall constitute a default by Lessee under this Lease.

Design elements as aforesaid will be displayed in color renderings in such detail as may be sufficient for Lessor’s needs. It is the purpose of this requirement that Lessee’s Premises be fixtured, designed and laid out so as not to be a detriment to the other tenants in the Building and that Lessee’s Work shall not be detrimental to the Building or other tenants therein, and Lessor’s approval of the plans and specifications as aforesaid for Lessee’s Work shall be at the Lessor’s sole discretion.

Tenant shall pay (i) for Alterations performed by Tenant, Landlord’s reasonable third-party costs incurred in connection with reviewing such Alterations, and (ii) for Alterations for which Tenant has engaged Landlord to supervise and Landlord’s contractors to perform, a supervision fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the total cost of such Alteration (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing supervisory fee shall not be due or payable in connection with the Tenant Improvements and the Vivarium improvements and no supervisory fee shall be due or payable in connection with any capital improvements performed by Landlord).

Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Section, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to repair; provided, however, that Landlord shall in any event have commenced and diligently pursue all such repairs to completion within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s written notice therefor; provided, further, that if such repairs are not capable of being completed within said 30-day period, then Landlord shall have such additional period of time as may be reasonably necessary to complete such repairs so long as Landlord commences such repairs within said thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues such repairs to completion. If the repairs required to be made by Landlord materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use of the Premises for its Permitted Use and Tenant’s notice clearly and conspicuously labels the repair a “Critical Repair” and summarizes the requirements of this Section, Landlord shall commence and diligently pursue such repairs to completion within five (5) business days after receipt of the foregoing written notice from Tenant and, if Landlord fails to commence and diligently pursue such repairs within said five (5) business day period, Tenant shall have the right to elect to perform such repairs on behalf of Landlord, the actual, reasonable costs of which shall be reimbursed by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of a written invoice or statement therefor from Tenant and, if such costs and expenses are not so reimbursed to Tenant within said 30-day period, Tenant shall have the right to offset the same, together with interest at a per-annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus ten percent (10%), from the next and subsequent installments of Base Rent payable under this Lease until the foregoing amount is fully offset.
