Landlord shall notify Tenant within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s Plans, (i) whether Landlord consents or withholds its consent thereto, and (ii) if Landlord withholds its consent, the reason or reasons therefor. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of its consent or withholding of consent within such five (5) Business Day period, and (x) Landlord further fails to notify Tenant of its consent or withholding of consent within five (5) Business Days after delivery (or attempted delivery) of a second written request by Tenant to Landlord, (y) Tenant has evidence that Landlord received or refused delivery of such second notice (in the form of a return receipt or proof of refusal of delivery), and (z) such second notice stated on its face that refusal to timely respond constitutes a “deemed consent”, then Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to Tenant’s Plans as submitted. If Landlord’s approval of a contractor is required, Landlord shall notify Tenant within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s written request whether Landlord consents or withholds its consent to any contractor proposed by Tenant to perform Tenant’s Initial Alterations. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of its consent or withholding of consent within such five (5) Business Day period, and Tenant has evidence that Landlord received the notice requesting such consent (in the form of a return receipt or proof of refusal of delivery), then Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the contractor proposed by Tenant to perform such Tenant’s Alteration.

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.

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.

All plans and specifications for any Alterations shall be submitted to Landlord for its approval. Landlord may monitor construction of the Alterations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all out-of-pocket sums, if any paid by Landlord for third party examination of Tenant’s plans and specifications for any Alterations. In addition, Tenant shall be obligated to pay Landlord a coordination fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the actual costs of any of such Alterations, which coordination fee shall be paid to Landlord promptly following the completion of the construction of the Alterations. Such coordination fee will be deemed to cover all of Landlord’s costs and expenses for Landlord’s employees or contractors, including but not limited to management personnel, engineers and other consultants involved in review, approval coordination and/or supervision of the Alterations. 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 see that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable laws, codes, rules and regulations. Without limiting the other grounds upon which Landlord may refuse to approve any contractor or subcontractor Landlord may take into account the desirability of maintaining harmonious labor relations at the Project. Landlord may also require that all life safety related work and all mechanical electrical plumbing and roof related work be performed by contractors designated by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion to instruct Tenant to remove those improvements or Alterations from the Premises which (i) were not approved in advance by Landlord (ii) were not built in conformance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord or (iii) Landlord specified during its review of plans and specifications for Alterations would need to be removed by Tenant upon the expiration of this Lease.
