Disbursements for Site Improvements All payments made by the OPWC for site improvements or other work shall be made directly to the Contractor that performed the work and originated the invoice, unless the request is for disbursement to the Recipient.
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.
Landlord’s Consent to Alterations Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the "ALTERATIONS") without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent (as indicated in Section 29.4 below) shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord. However, Tenant may make (i) cosmetic changes to the finish work in the Premises, not requiring any structural or other substantial modifications to the Premises (e.g., voice/data cabling), without Landlord's prior consent, (ii) cosmetic changes to the interior of any Tenant space within the Building (e.g., changes to the carpet, wallcovering and paint) and (iii) nonstructural changes to the interior of any Tenant space within the Building (such cosmetic and nonstructural changes to be referred to hereafter collectively as the "ACCEPTABLE CHANGES") upon at least ten (10) days prior notice to Landlord but without Landlord's prior consent provided (a) with respect to the changes described in Subsection 8.1(iii) above only, such changes do not cost in excess of Two Dollars ($2.00) per usable square foot of the Premises for any one (1) job, (b) such Acceptable Changes do not affect the exterior appearance of the Building or Common Areas, the structural aspects of the Building, or any Building System or Equipment, and (c) Tenant shall perform such Acceptable Changes in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformance with any and all applicable federal, state, county or municipal laws, rules or regulations (collectively, "APPLICABLE LAWS"). At any time Tenant proposes to make Alterations which require the consent of Landlord pursuant to this Section 8.1, Tenant's notice regarding the proposed Alterations shall be provided together with plans and specifications for the Alterations, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove of the same within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt thereof. The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8, and therefore, as used herein, the term "Alterations" does not refer to any tenant improvements installed pursuant to the Tenant Work Letter.
Improvements and Alterations (a) The Lessee, at the Lessee’s own cost and expense, (i) shall make alterations, renovations, repairs, improvements and additions to the Leased Property or any part thereof and substitutions and replacements therefor (collectively, “Alterations”) which are (A) necessary to repair or maintain the Improvements or the Site in the condition required by Section 9.1 or (B) necessary or advisable to restore the Improvements and the Site to its condition existing prior to a Casualty or Condemnation to the extent required pursuant to Article XIII, and (ii) so long as no Material Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, may undertake Alterations on the Leased Property so long as such Alterations comply in all material respects with Applicable Laws and are consistent and comply with Section 9.1 and subsection (b) of this Section 9.2. (b) The making of any Alterations pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above of this Section 9.2 must be in compliance with the following requirements: The Lessee shall not make any Alterations in violation of the terms of any restriction, easement, condition, covenant or other similar matter affecting title to or binding on the Improvements or the Site. (i) No Alterations shall be undertaken until the Lessee shall have procured and paid for, so far as the same may be required from time to time, all permits and authorizations relating to such Alterations of all municipal and other Authorities having jurisdiction over the Improvements or the Site. Lessor, at the Lessee’s expense, shall join in the application for any such permit or authorization and execute and deliver any document in connection therewith, whenever such joinder is necessary or advisable; provided that, however, such joinder shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute, any assumption or responsibility or liability whatsoever. (ii) The Alterations shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws then in effect and with the Insurance Requirements. (iii) All Alterations shall, when completed, be of such a character as to not materially diminish (A) the utility of the Improvements as a corporate office complex including a corporate office building and any uses ancillary thereto, (B) the then current Fair Market Value as determined by reference to the Appraisal, or (C) the Fair Market Value as determined by reference to the Appraisal as of the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term. (iv) The Lessee shall have made adequate arrangements for payment of the cost of all Alterations when due so that the Improvements and the Site shall at all times be free of Liens for labor and materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to the Improvements or the Site, other than Permitted Liens; provided, that the Lessee shall have the right to engage in Permitted Contests in accordance with Section 9.5. (v) The Alterations must be located solely on the Site.
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: (a) if the improvement involves a sign or will otherwise be visible from the exterior then the improvement must be compatible with the architectural and aesthetic qualities of the Leased Premises and the Site; and (b) the improvement must be non-structural and have no effect on the plumbing, heating (and cooling), mechanical, electrical or other systems or services in the Leased Premises, and the improvement (except for signs) must be entirely within the Leased Premises; and (c) the change, when completed will not materially adversely affect the value of the Leased Premises or the Site; and (d) Tenant demonstrates to Landlord’s satisfaction that the improvement will be made in accordance with applicable legal requirements using good quality materials and good quality construction practices and will not result in any liens on the Leased Premises; and (e) as soon as such work is completed, Tenant will have prepared and provide Landlord with “as-built” plans (in form acceptable to Landlord) showing all such work; and (f) Tenant will comply with any rules or requirements reasonably promulgated by Landlord in connection with the doing of any work, and if requested by Landlord, Tenant will obtain and maintain Builder’s Risk insurance in connection with such work. Tenant shall have the right to make minor alterations from time to time in the interior of the Leased Premises without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent therefor, provided that all of such work conforms to all of the above requirements in all respects (except for the requirement in subsection (a) to obtain Landlord’s prior written consent and the requirement in subsection (e) to provide “as-built” plans to Landlord), and further provided that Tenant provides Landlord with a written description of such work (and such other data as Landlord may request) not later than 30 days after each such alteration is made.
