less than ten (10) days’ notice prior to the
commencement of any work in, on or about the Premises, and Lessor
shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility. Lessee
shall not allow any mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens
to be filed against the Premises, and if any such mechanic’s
or materialmen’s lien is filed against the Premises, Lessee
shall satisfy or otherwise discharge or bond over all liens within
fifteen (15) business days after Lessor notifies Lessee in writing
that any such lien has been filed. If Lessee fails to pay and
remove or bond over such lien within such fifteen
(15) business day period, Lessor, at its election, may pay and
satisfy the same and in such event the sums so paid by Lessor shall
be deemed to be Rent due and payable by Lessee within thirty

7.4 Ownership; Removal;
Surrender.
(a) All
Alterations and Utility Installations (other than Lessee Retained
Utility Installations) made by Lessee shall be the property of
Lessee, but considered a part of the Premises. All Alterations and
Utility Installations shall, at die expiration or termination of
this Lease, become the property of Lessor and be surrendered by
Lessee with the Premises. On or before the date on which the Term
of this Lease shall expire or shall be earlier terminated, Lessee
shall remove, at its own expense, all office furniture, business
and Trade Fixtures, Lessee Retained Utility Installations,
equipment, furniture system and other personal property from time
to time situated in the Premises (collectively,
“Lessee’s Personal Property”). In the
event that Lessee shall fail to remove any such items after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and if such
failure continues for five (5) business days after
Lessor’s delivery of notice thereof to Lessee, Lessee shall
be deemed to have abandoned the same, in which case Lessor may, at
Lessee’s expense, remove such items and store the same at
Lessee’s expense, or appropriate the same for itself, and/or
sell or otherwise dispose of the same in its discretion, with no
liability to Lessee
(b) By
delivery to Lessee of written notice from Lessor at the time it
approves any Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility Installations,
Lessor may require that such Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility
Installations be removed by the expiration or termination of this
Lease. In addition, Lessor may require the removal at any time of
all or any part of any Lessee Owned Alterations or Utility
Installations made without the required consent of Lessor.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Lessee
shall not be obligated to remove or restore upon the expiration or
termination of the Term of this Lease any Alterations or Utility
Installations that are present in, on or about the Premises as of
the Closing Date.
(c) Lessee
shall surrender the Premises by the Expiration Date or any earlier
termination date, with all of the improvements, parts and surfaces
thereof broom clean and free of debris, and in good operating
order, condition and state of repair, ordinary wear and tear
excepted; provided, however, that Lessee shall have no obligation
under this Section 7.4(c) to cause the Premises (or any
portion thereof or any improvements located therein) to be in any
better condition than the same were as of the Closing Date.
