<br /> the leased property as clean and in good condition (reasonable wear and tear
<br /> excepted), and shall make all repairs, replacements and renewals, whether ordinary or
<br /> extraordinary, seen or unforeseen, including all structural repairs, necessary to maintain
<br /> the interior of the leased property. All repairs, replacements and renewals shall be at
<br /> least equal in quality of materials and workmanship to that originally existing in the
<br /> leased property. The County shall be responsible for repairs and maintenance of the
<br /> roof and outside walls and other structural member, including the foundation of the
<br /> leased premises. The County shall be responsible for maintenance cf the heating plant
<br /> and air-conditioning systems in such condition as existed at the commencement of this
<br /> lease, which County warrants to be in good working condition as of the date of this
<br /> lease. The County shall be responsible for the removal of snow (in a timely manner)
<br /> from the parking lot and the walkways. The County shall in no event be required to
<br /> make any repair, alteration or improvement to the interior of the leased property. Any
<br /> equipment replaced by the Tenant shall belong to the Tenant, save equipment replaced
<br /> in connection with Tenant's obligation to maintain the premises in the same condition as
<br /> exists at the commencement of this lease, and all proceeds from the disposition thereof
<br /> may be retained by the Tenant. The Tenant shall indemnify the county against all
<br /> costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages, suits, fines, penalties, claims and
<br /> demands including responsible counsel fees, because of Tenant's failure to comply
<br /> 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 with a hardtop
<br /> surface pavement and proper striping.
<br /> 9. Improvements. No substantial alteration, addition or improvement to
<br /> the leased property shall be made by the Tenant without the written consent of the
<br /> County. Any alteration, addition or improvement made by the Tenant after such
<br /> consent shall have been given and any fixtures permanently installed as part thereof,
<br /> shall at the County's option, become the property of the County upon expiration of or
<br /> other sooner termination of this lease; provided however, that the County shall have the
<br /> right to require the Tenant to remove such fixtures at the Tenant's cost upon such
<br /> termination. This clause shall not preclude Tenant from decorating the interior of the
<br /> leased premises from time to time in Tenant's discretion.
<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,
<br /> services or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied, whether prior or
<br /> subsequent to the commencement of the term hereof, to the Tenant or anyone holding
<br /> the leased property, through or under the Tenant. If any such mechanic's lien shall at
<br /> any time be filed against the leased property, the Tenant shall, within 30 days after
<br /> notice of the filing thereof, cause such lien to be discharged of record by payment,
<br /> deposit, bond, order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise. If the Tenant
<br /> shall fail to cause such lien to be discharged within such 30 day period, then, in
<br /> addition to any other right or remedy of the County, the County may, but shall not be
<br /> obligated to, discharge such lien either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by
<br /> procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings, and in any
<br /> such event the County shall be entitled, if the County so elects, to compel the
<br /> prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such mechanic's lien by the lienor and to
<br /> pay the amount of the judgment for and in favor of the lienor, with interest, costs and
<br /> all other allowances. Any amount paid by the County for any such purposes, with
<br /> interest thereon at the rate of 6% per annum from the date of payment, shall be repaid
