in good faith in the planning and construction of the Leasehold
Improvements, and Tenant shall respond promptly to any request from
Landlord or Landlord’s architect or contractor for Tenant’s
approval of any particular aspect thereof. In the event Tenant fails
to respond promptly to any request from Landlord or Landlord’s
architect and/or contractor in connection with the design and/or

          5.
Disclaimer of Warranty. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE
CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION OF THE LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE
PERFORMED BY AN UNAFFILIATED CONTRACTOR OR CONTRACTORS AND THAT

OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. However, Landlord
