<br /> 8. Repairs. The County shall maintain the roof and exterior walls of the Leased
<br /> Premises including exterior paint, provided that in the event Tenant desires to alter the interior
<br /> color scheme, said alteration must be approved by County and shall be at the Tenant's
<br /> expense. In addition, County shall maintain the paved parking area and front entry to the
<br /> building. The Tenant shall not cause or permit any waste, damage or injury to the Leased
<br /> Premises. The Tenant, at its sole expense, shall keep the Leased Premises clean and in good
<br /> condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted), and shall make all repairs, replacements and
<br /> renewals, whether ordinary or extraordinary, seen or unforeseen, including all structural
<br /> repairs, necessary to maintain the interior of the Leased Premises. All repairs, replacements
<br /> and renewals shall be at least equal in quality of materials and workmanship to that originally
<br /> existing in the Leased Premises. The County shall be responsible for repairs and maintenance
<br /> of the roof and outside walls and other external structural members, including the foundation of
<br /> the Leased Premises. The County shall be responsible for maintenance of the heating plant
<br /> and air-conditioning systems in such condition as existed at the commencement of this lease,
<br /> which County warrants to be in good working condition as of the date of this lease. The County
<br /> shall be responsible for the removal of snow (in a timely manner) from the parking lot and the
<br /> walkways. The County shall in no event be required to make any repair, alteration or
<br /> improvement to the interior of the Leased Premises. Any equipment replaced by the Tenant
<br /> shall belong to the Tenant, save equipment replaced in connection with Tenant's obligation to
<br /> maintain the premises in the same condition as exists at the commencement of this lease, and
<br /> all proceeds from the disposition thereof may be retained by the Tenant. The Tenant shall
<br /> indemnify the County against all costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages, suits, fines,
<br /> penalties, claims and demands including reasonable attorneys'fees, because of Tenant's failure
<br /> to comply with the foregoing. Maintenance of the paved parking area shall be defined as and
<br /> limited to maintaining and keeping the parking area in good condition.
<br /> 9. Improvements. No substantial alteration, addition or improvement to the
<br /> Leased Premises shall be made by the Tenant without the written consent of the County. Any
<br /> alteration, addition or improvement made by the Tenant after such consent shall have been
<br /> given and any fixtures permanently installed as part thereof, shall at the County's option,
<br /> become the property of the County upon expiration of or other sooner termination of this lease;
<br /> provided however, that the County shall have the right to require the Tenant to remove such
<br /> fixtures at the Tenant's cost upon such termination. This clause shall not preclude Tenant from
<br /> decorating the interior of the leased premises from time to time in Tenant's discretion. Tenant
<br /> shall not remove or alter any vegetation on the exterior of the Leased Premises without the prior
<br /> written approval of County.
<br /> 10. Liens for Improvements by Tenant. The Tenant shall not permit any
<br /> mechanic's lien to be filed against the fee of the property by reason of work, labor, services or
<br /> materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied, whether prior or subsequent to the
<br /> commencement of the term hereof, to the Tenant or anyone holding the Leased Premises,
<br /> through or under the Tenant. If any such mechanic's lien shall at any time be filed against the
<br /> Leased Premises, the Tenant shall, within 30 days after notice of the filing thereof, cause such
<br /> lien to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of a court of competent
<br /> jurisdiction, or otherwise. If the Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to be discharged within such
<br /> 30 day period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of the County, the County may, but
<br /> shall not be obligated to, discharge such lien either by paying the amount claimed to be due or
<br /> by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings, and in any such
<br /> event the County shall be entitled, if the County so elects, to compel the prosecution of an
<br /> action for the foreclosure of such mechanic's lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the
<br /> judgment for and in favor of the lienor, with interest, costs and all other allowances. Any
