Improvements. Upon execution of the Lease, the Tenant may initially improve <br /> the interiors in a cosmetic manner to include flooring, painting of walls, and other cosmetic; <br /> improvements benefiting the County and Tenant according to the mutually agreed upon scope <br /> in exchange for the lease payments stated in paragraph 3. These content, means and methods <br /> of these improvements must be mutually agreed upon between the County and the Tenant. <br /> Other than this provision, no substantial alteration, addition, or improvement to the Leased <br /> 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. <br /> Page 3 of 12 <br />
