This compliance includes implementing the modifications, such as replacing or renovating equipment, remodeling, redecorating, and making modifications to existing improvements, including structural changes. However, expenditures for these modifications are subject to limitations detailed in subsection 8.J of the agreement, which is not provided in the excerpt.
