If a non-compliance with the foregoing exists as of the Suite 107 Expansion Date, Landlord shall, except as otherwise provided in the Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance, commence to rectify same at Landlord’s expense.
