period, then, upon no less than sixty (60) days prior written notice, Landlord may, at Landlord's sole cost
and expense, temporarily relocate the leased space to another location on the Premises. Tenant's use of the
Leased Premises will be restored as soon as construction activity reaches a point that assures safety to
Tenant employees, volunteers, and invitees, with any damage to the Leased Premises caused by Landlord's
activities on or around the Leased Premises to be repaired at Landlord's expense. In the event that any such
relocation is required, Landlord shall be responsible for altering or expanding the Landlord Improvements

this Lease at any time without cause upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice to the Tenant. Provided

observed and/or performed under this Lease, Tenant will have quiet possession of the Leased Premises
throughout the Term, subject to all provisions of this Lease.
