(d) | For avoidance of doubt, Advancis shall have no obligation to remove from the Build-Out Facilities any Build-Out Equipment and shall not be liable for any Build-Out Equipment that it elects to abandon.

2.5. | The terms of the purchase agreements between Advancis and the suppliers for any items of Build-Out Equipment supplied by Advancis pursuant to clause 2.1(b) shall be reasonably acceptable to Clonmel.

- 6 -
(a) | Clonmel acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the construction of the Build-Out Facility, Advancis shall approve all invoices and bids and all deviations from plans and specifications, [***], and Clonmel shall not proceed without first obtaining such approval.
