The sidewalks, entrances, passages, courts, elevators, vestibules, lobbies, stairways, corridors, halls, parking ramps and parking areas shall not be obstructed or used for any purpose other than ingress and egress or parking in the designated parking areas and Lessee shall not use nor permit the use or such areas for any other purpose. The halls, passages, entrances, elevators, stairways, balconies, roof, lobbies, parking ramps and areas are not for the use of the general public, and the Lessor shall in all cases retain the right to control and prevent access thereto of all persons whose presence, in the sole and reasonable judgment of Lessor, shall be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation and interests of the Building and its Lessees, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent such access to persons with whom Lessee normally deals only for the purpose of conducting its business on the Premises (such as clients, patients, office suppliers, equipment vendors, and the like) unless such persons are engaged in illegal activities. No Lessee and no employees of any Lessee shall go upon the roof or in the mechanical or electrical rooms of the Building without the prior written consent of Lessor.

3. No sign, advertisement, notice or handbill shall be exhibited, distributed, painted or affixed by Lessee on, about or from any part of the Premises or the Building without the prior written consent of Lessor. If Lessor shall have given such consent at the time, whether before or after the execution of this Lease, such consent shall in no way operate as a waiver or release of any of the provisions hereof or of this Lease, and shall be deemed to relate only to the particular sign, advertisement or notice so consented to by Lessor and shall not be construed as dispensing with the necessity of obtaining the specific written consent of Lessor with respect to each and every other sign, advertisement or notice other than the particular sign, advertisement or notice, as the case may be, so consented to by Lessor. In the event of the violation of the foregoing by Lessee, Lessor may remove or stop the same without any liability, and may charge the expense incurred in such removal or stopping to Lessee.
