Based on the fair rental value determined by such appraiser, the City shall provide the Trustee and the JEPA with a certificate setting forth the amount by which the Maximum Lease Payment will be abated for the current and each subsequent Lease Year until the JEPA delivers the Complete Convention Center to the City for use and occupancy .

If based on such appraisal the fair rental value of the Facility available for use and occupancy by the City is less than the Maximum Lease Payment as set forth in Exhibit C in the current Lease Year, then the Maximum Lease Payment in the current Lease Year shall be abated to an amount equal to such fair rental value as determined by the appraiser and such Maximum Lease Payment shall increase by two percent (2%) in each subsequent Lease Year.

The City shall also maintain, repair, replace and rebuild the Facility as necessary to keep the Convention Center in First- Class Condition (as defined in the Sublease) except for reasonable wear and tear. Without limitation of the foregoing, the City shall perform all maintenance and make all repairs and replacements, ordinary as well as extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, structural or otherwise, which may be necessary or required so that at all times the Facility (together will all equipment, trade fixtures, mechanical and utility systems, paving, landscaping, installations a nd appurtenances) shall be in compliance with the Hotel Management Agreement, and in First -Class Condition. The City acknowledges and agrees that, during the Term, in order to adhere to these maintenance and repair standards, certain repairs and replaceme nts which are accounted for as capital expenditures shall be required and are bargained for by the Port in consideration of the Site Lease, by the JEPA in consideration of the Facility Lease, and that regular capital reinvestment in the Facility should therefore be anticipated by the City and that capital reinvestment for such purposes does not qualify the City for any concessions, subsidies, or other modifications of this Facility Lease during the Term.
Further, the City shall provide containers for the c ollection of trash and garbage outside the Convention Center, which may require the JEPA’s approval, and keep the Facility in a clean, safe, healthy and sanitary condition, free and clear of rubbish, litter, and any fire hazards.

If such approval is administrative, the JEPA shall not unreasonably reject any plans or specifications with respect to any repair or replacement, as applicable, that, if not performed by t he City, would result in an Event of Default. Should RIDA submit a request for Alterations to the City, the City shall provide them to the JEPA for review and approval. If such approval is administrative, the JEPA shall not unreasonably withhold consent.

The JEPA may condition its approval of a Major Alteration on compliance with the Laws and the City , or its designee, obtaining insurance coverages in addition to those required under Article 5 if such additional coverage is customarily obtained in connection with work similar in scope to the Major Alteration. All Major Alterations shall be in accordance with plans and specifications, including but not limited to working drawings (col lectively, “Alteration Plans”) submitted to and approved by the JEPA in its reasonable discretion in writing prior to the commencement of the Major Alterations.
Following approval by the JEPA, any changes in the Alteration Plans shall be subject to the JE PA’s approval, in the JEPA’s reasonable discretion. If the JEPA approves the Alteration Plans, and if the City elects to proceed with the Major Alterations, then the City shall construct and Complete all of the Major Alterations set forth in the Alteratio n Plans in one (1) integrated construction project with all due diligence; provided, however, that any Major Alterations may be Completed in phases if such phasing is permitted by the Laws.
