<br />any of Tenant's machinery, equipment or trade fixtures which can be removed without material damage to the Premises or the

<br />requirements, unless, within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice, Landlord agrees in writing to be responsible for such
<br />compliance, at its own expense, and commences compliance activity, in which case Tenant's notice given hereunder shall not
<br />terminate this Lease.
