<br /> however, that the County shall not unreasonably withhold approval of such signs as Tenant may
<br /> desire. Signage must also be approved by the Town of Chapel Hill. Upon the termination of
<br /> this Lease the Tenant shall remove all special signs and repair any damage to the Leased
<br /> Premises caused by the erection, maintenance, or removal of such special signs.
<br /> 8. Repairs. The County shall be responsible for repairs and maintenance of the
<br /> roof and outside walls and other external structural members, including the foundation of the
<br /> Leased Premises. The County shall be responsible for maintenance of the electrical, plumbing,
<br /> and the heating plant/air-conditioning systems in such condition as existed at the
<br /> commencement of this Lease, which County warrants to be in good working condition as of the
<br /> date of this Lease. The County shall be responsible for sweeping, cleaning and generally
<br /> maintaining the entrance corridor breezeway and the removal of snow (in a timely manner) from
<br /> the walkways and parking areas. In addition, County shall tend to any required landscaping on
<br /> the Leased Premises. The Tenant shall not cause or permit any waste, damage or injury to the
<br /> Leased Premises. The Tenant, at its sole expense, shall keep the Leased Premises clean and
<br /> in good condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted), and shall make all repairs,
<br /> replacements and renewals, whether ordinary or extraordinary, seen or unseen, including all
<br /> structural repairs, necessary to maintain the interiors of the Leased Premises. All repairs,
<br /> replacements and renewals shall be at least equal in quality of materials and workmanship to
<br /> that originally existing in the Leased Premises. Such repair and maintenance the Tenant shall
<br /> be responsible for include wall and ceilings (including the painting thereof); maintenance of
<br /> floors, and the cleaning of all buildings. The County shall in no event be required to make any
<br /> repair, alteration or improvement to the interior of the Leased Premises, excepting obligations
<br /> which are the responsibility of the County as noted above or which are made necessary
<br /> because of fire and other unavoidable casualties covered by the County' fire and extended
<br /> coverage insurance, and excepting reasonable wear and tear. The Tenant shall promptly notify
<br /> Orange County Asset Management Services for notice of any needed repairs. The Tenant shall
<br /> repair and maintain those things that are the responsibility of the County if repair and
<br /> maintenance is necessary because of the fault, act, or negligence of the Tenant, its agents,
<br /> subtenants, employees, or business invitees. Any equipment replaced by the Tenant shall
<br /> belong to the Tenant, save equipment replaced in connection with Tenant's obligation to
<br /> maintain the Leased Premises in the same condition as exists at the commencement of this
<br /> Lease, and all proceeds from the disposition thereof may be retained by the Tenant. The
<br /> Tenant shall indemnify the County against all costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages,
<br /> suits, fines, penalties, claims and demands including responsible counsel fees, because of
<br /> Tenant's failure to comply with the foregoing.
<br /> 9. 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.
