Maintenance Repairs and Alterations A. Except to the extent such obligations are imposed upon Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the interior of the Premises in good order, condition and repair throughout the entire Lease Term, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant agrees to keep the areas visible from outside the Premises in a neat, clean and attractive condition at all times. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written demand therefor, reimburse Landlord for the cost of all repairs, replacements and alterations (collectively, “Repairs”) in and to the Premises, Building and Property and the facilities and systems thereof, plus an administration charge often percent (10%) of such cost, the need for which Repairs arises out of (and provided Landlord has given prior written notice to Tenant of such need): (1) Tenant’s use of the Premises in contravention of the terms and conditions of this Lease, or Tenant’s failure to perform maintenance or repairs which are Tenant’s obligation hereunder, (2) the installation, removal, use or operation of Tenant’s Property, if undertaken by Landlord at Tenant’s request or by virtue of Tenant’s default in undertaking such obligations, (3) the moving of Tenant’s Property into or out of the Building, or (4) the act, omission, misuse or negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees or invitees.
B. Tenant shall not make or allow to be made any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises (collectively, “Alterations”), without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided however, Tenant shall have the right to perform, without Landlord’s consent, certain Alterations that do not cost in excess of $25,000.00 in the aggregate (at any one time), and do not affect any mechanical or electrical or life safety systems or plumbing in the Building, provided that advance notice has been given to Landlord in each instance. Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to remove at the end of the Lease Term any Alterations installed without the Landlord’s consent. Prior to commencing any such Alterations and as a condition to obtaining Landlord’s consent where necessary, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord plans and specifications acceptable to Landlord; names and addresses of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord; copies of contracts; necessary permits and approvals; evidence of contractor’s and subcontractor’s insurance in accordance with Section 13 hereof; and a payment bond or other security, all in form and amount satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible for insuring that all such persons procure and maintain insurance coverage against such risks, in such amounts and with such companies as Landlord may reasonably require. All Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner using Building standard materials or other new materials of equal or greater quality. Landlord, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid any disruption to the tenants and occupants of the Building, shall have the right to designate the time when any Alterations may be performed and to otherwise designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the performance of work in the Building. Upon completion of the Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord “as-built” plans, contractor’s affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all labor and materials. All Alterations shall comply with the insurance requirements and with applicable codes, ordinances, laws and regulations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all reasonable sums, if any, expended by Landlord for third party examination of the architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans for any Alterations. In addition, if Landlord so requests, Landlord shall be entitled to oversee the construction of any Alterations, and in such event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s actual out of pocket costs incurred in connection therewith, which may include the cost of management personnel working outside of Normal Business Hours. Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications for any Alterations performed for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed to be representation by Landlord that such plans and specifications comply with applicable insurance requirements, building codes, ordinances, laws or, regulations or that the Alterations constructed in accordance with such plans and specifications will be adequate for Tenant’s use.
