In addition, prior to the commencement of such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord and Master Landlord with evidence that Tenant or its contractor carries “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount reasonably approved by Landlord (provided Landlord shall not withhold approval unless Master Landlord reasonably withholds approval to the extent allowed under the Master Lease) (not to exceed the amount of coverage typically required by landlords of Comparable Buildings) covering the construction of such Alterations, and such other insurance as Master Landlord under the Master Lease may reasonably require. Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days after demand, remove or bond against any liens imposed against the Building or Project as a result of the performance by Tenant of any Alterations and/or installation by Tenant of any furniture, fixtures or equipment in or at the Premises, Building or Project, and shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Master Landlord harmless from and against all Claims in connection with any such liens.
