Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it has occupied and familiarized itself with the Premises and has had adequate opportunity to investigate and inspect the condition of the Premises, and enters into this Lease upon the basis of its own review, and is leasing the Premises in their “AS IS, WHERE IS” CONDITION WITH ALL FAULTS, WHETHER PREVIOUSLY EXISTING OR ARISING FROM OR PERTAINING TO ANY CONSTRUCTION, RENOVATION, RELOCATION OR IMPROVEMENT OF ANY PORTION OF THE PREMISES PERFORMED BY LESSOR OR OTHERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BOTH LATENT AND PATENT DEFECTS.

LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES AND DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE BY OPERATION OF LAW. Lessee further acknowledges and agrees that it has had an opportunity to review and to discuss with various agents and/or representatives of Lessor the environmental condition of the Premises. Lessee has investigated and has knowledge of operative or proposed governmental laws and regulations including, without limitation, environmental laws and regulations to which the Premises are or may be subject and enters into this Lease upon the basis of its review and determination of the applicability and effect of such laws and regulations.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES a. In the event the Premises are damaged by fire or other perils or casualty covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, repair or rebuild the same within a reasonable time after the event causing such damage. This Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of the rent from the date of damage and while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the damage and making of such repairs shall reasonably interfere with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises as determined by Landlord. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, there shall be no reduction of rent. Landlord may authorize or direct construction of an alternative structure or may elect to retain any insurance proceeds received by it if Landlord deems reconstruction or construction of an alternative structure to be impractical or unreasonable in its sole discretion.
b. In the event the Premises are damaged to any extent as a result of any cause other than the perils covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord shall in its sole discretion have the option to: (1.) to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises within a reasonable time of the event causing the damage, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but the rent shall be proportionately reduced as provided above in 11a. during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration, or (2.) to give notice to Tenant at any time within sixty (60) days after such damage occurs, terminating this Lease as of the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice. In the event of giving to Tenant such notice of termination, this Lease shall terminate and all interests of Tenant in the Premises shall cease on the date so specified in such notice and Tenant shall pay the rent, as proportionately reduced, based upon the extent, if any, to which such damage interfered with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises, up to the date of such termination.
c. With regard to Landlord’s duty or option to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises within a reasonable time of the event causing the damage as provided in 11a. and b. above, Landlord shall act promptly and with due diligence, but Landlord shall not be responsible for delays caused by factors beyond Landlord’s control, including but not limited to delays because of strikes, work slowdowns or stoppages, accidents, acts of God, failure of any governmental or other authority to act in a timely manner, or delays caused by contractors. If such delays occur, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible for damages, nor shall Landlord be deemed to be in default under this Lease.
d. Landlord shall not be required to repair any damage by fire or other casualty, or to make any repair or replacements of any leasehold improvements, fixtures, or other personal property of Tenant.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREMISES Prior to, or during the first month of the effective use (transfer of keys) of the rented property and whenever important alterations have been made to the rented property during the rental period, both parties are obliged to draw up a detailed and contradictory description of the property at their joint expense. If one of the parties so requests, the parties will draw up a detailed and contradictory description of the premises at their joint expense at the end of the rental period. In the absence of an initial description of the premises, the tenant is deemed to have received the property in the condition in which it is in at the time they leave, except if the necessary proof to the contrary is provided. The same applies if no final description of the premises has been drawn up by the end date of the contract. After signature by the contracting parties, the description of the premises will be appended to the present agreement. The lessor has the right to make the reimbursement or release of the deposit dependent on the drawing up of the final description of the premises in the presence of the tenant or their representative, at a mutually agreed time. The lessor will make every effort to be present at this description of the premises at a reasonable time.
Condition of the Property THE LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS LEASING THE PROPERTY "AS IS" WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) BY THE LESSOR AND SUBJECT TO (A) THE EXISTING STATE OF TITLE, (B) THE RIGHTS OF ANY PARTIES IN POSSESSION THEREOF, (C) ANY STATE OF FACTS WHICH AN ACCURATE SURVEY OR PHYSICAL INSPECTION MIGHT SHOW, AND (D) VIOLATIONS OF REQUIREMENTS OF LAW WHICH MAY EXIST ON THE DATE HEREOF OR ON THE ACQUISITION DATE. THE LESSOR HAS NOT MADE AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER AS TO THE TITLE (OTHER THAN FOR LESSOR LIENS), VALUE, HABITABILITY, USE, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION, OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE PROPERTY (OR ANY PART THEREOF), OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY (OR ANY PART THEREOF) AND THE LESSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LATENT, HIDDEN, OR PATENT DEFECT THEREIN (OTHER THAN FOR LESSOR LIENS) OR THE FAILURE OF THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, TO COMPLY WITH ANY REQUIREMENT OF LAW.
PREMISES DEEMED UNINHABITABLE If the Premises is deemed uninhabitable due to damage beyond reasonable repair the Tenant will be able to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Landlord. If said damage was due to the negligence of the Tenant, the Tenant shall be liable to the Landlord for all repairs and for the loss of income due to restoring the Premises back to a livable condition in addition to any other losses that can be proved by the Landlord.
Condition of the Leased Property Lessee acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property. Lessee has examined and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property and has found the same to be satisfactory for its purposes hereunder. Lessee is leasing the Leased Property “as is” in its present condition. Lessee waives any claim or action against Lessor in respect of the condition of the Leased Property. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LEASED PROPERTY HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LESSEE AND IS SATISFACTORY TO IT. Provided, however, to the extent permitted by law, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee all of Lessor’s rights to proceed against any predecessor in title (other than any Affiliate of Lessee, which conveyed the Property to Lessor) for breaches of warranties or representations or for latent defects in the Leased Property. Lessor shall fully cooperate with Lessee in the prosecution of any such claim, in Lessor’s or Lessee’s name, all at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any claims, obligations and liabilities against or incurred by Lessor in connection with such cooperation.
DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES (A) If, during the term of this Lease, the Leased Premises are totally or partially destroyed by fire or the elements, so as to render the premises wholly unfit for occupancy, or make it impossible in the opinion of a licensed third party arbitrator knowledgeable in the child care business reasonably acceptable to Lessee and Lessor, for Lessee to conduct its business therein, then either Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease from the date of such damage or destruction by giving written notice. The parties agree to use reasonable promptness to obtain the opinion of such licensed third party arbitrator. Upon the giving of such notice, Lessee shall immediately surrender the Leased Premises and all interest therein to Lessor, and in case of any such termination, Lessor may re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises and may dispossess all parties then in possession thereof. If not otherwise terminated, in the event the Leased Premises shall be repaired, restored, and rebuilt by Lessee with the use of insurance proceeds (which Lessor shall cooperate to make available), but otherwise at its own sole cost and expense, within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of destruction (subject to force majuere as set forth in paragraph C hereof, then all rents payable by Lessee shall be abated during the period of repair and restoration to the extent Lessor shall be compensated by the proceeds of rents loss insurance. In no event shall Lessor be required to provide its own money for the repair or restoration of the Leased Premises other than the net proceeds of moneys received by it from any insurance policy or policies covering such loss or damages. Lessee shall be liable for repair of the Leased Premises with all reasonable speed, and the rents shall recommence on the date that the repairs are completed. Lessee shall be under no obligation to so repair during the last five (5) years of the term of the Lease, or as extended, but if Lessee shall desire to rebuild during the last 12 months of the Lease term, Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises conditioned upon Lessee then exercising its next renewal option under the Lease. Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises in the event Lessee rebuilds, except as stated above.
(B) If the damage does not, in the opinion of a licensed third party arbitrator reasonably acceptable to Lessee and Lessor, render the Leased Premises unfit for occupancy, then Lessor agrees that the damage shall be repaired as soon as practicable and in that case, Lessee shall pay full rent during the repair period. All repairs shall be paid for by Lessee out of any insurance proceeds received (which Lessor shall cooperate to make available), but if the insurance proceeds are insufficient to rebuild or repair the Leased Premises according to the original plans and specifications, whether repair or restoration is commenced pursuant to paragraph A or B hereof, then Lessee agrees to pay all additional amounts that are required to rebuild the building in accordance with the original plans and specifications. All improvements or betterments placed by Lessee on the demised premises shall, however, in any event, be repaired and replaced by Lessee at its own expense and not at the expense of Lessor. The purpose of this Article is to require Lessee to carry insurance coverage on the Leased Premises sufficient to rebuild the improvements in the event of damage or destruction. Lessee shall be under no obligation to so rebuild during the last five (5) years of the term, as extended, as the case may be, but if Lessee shall desire to rebuild during the last 12 months of the Lease term, Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises conditioned upon Lessee then exercising its next renewal option under the Lease. Lessor will make insurance proceeds available to rebuild the Leased Premises in the event Lessee rebuilds, except as stated above. Risk that the insurance company shall be insolvent or shall refuse to make insurance proceeds available shall be with Lessee. The Leased Premises shall be so restored or rebuilt so as to be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction. If the insurance proceeds are less than $100,000 they shall be paid to Lessee for such repair and restoration. If the insurance proceeds are greater than or equal to $100,000 they shall be deposited by Lessee and Lessor into a customary construction escrow at a nationally recognized title insurance company, or at Lessee's option, with Lessor ("Escrowee") and shall be made available from time to time to Lessee for such repair and restoration. Such proceeds shall be disbursed in conformity with the terms and conditions of a commercially reasonable construction loan agreement. Lessee shall, in either instance, deliver to Lessor or Escrowee (as the case may be) satisfactory evidence of the estimated cost of completion together with such architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements and other evidence of cost and of payments as the Lessor or Escrowee may reasonably require and approve. If the estimated cost of the work exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), all plans and specifications for such rebuilding or restoration shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lessor.
(C) Lessee shall comply with the time period stated above for restoration of the Leased Premises as set forth in this Article; provided, however, that said period of time shall be extended for a period or periods of time equal to any period or periods of delay caused by strikes, lockouts, fire, or other casualty, the elements, acts of God, delay by or refusal or failure of governmental authorities to grant necessary permits and approvals for the reconstruction of the Leased Premises (Lessee agreeing to use reasonable diligence to procure the same), or other causes other than financial, beyond Lessee's reasonable control or the reasonable control of Lessee's contractor.
Access to the Premises Except as provided by local ordinance, after a good faith effort to give notice, the Lessor, its agents or employees shall have access at all reasonable hours to the leased premises for the purpose of examining or exhibiting the premises to prospective buyers or prospective residents, or for making alterations or repairs on the premises which the Lessor deems necessary. Lessor shall have access at all reasonable hours to perform Lessee requested repairs, unless indicated to the contrary by Lessee. In the event of an emergency, Lessor, its agents or employees shall have immediate access without notice.
Damage to the Premises If the Premises shall, without fault or neglect on the part of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, customers or employees, be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty covered by standard policies of fire and extended coverage insurance and such damage or destruction (exclusive of Tenant’s leasehold improvements) could reasonably be repaired within ninety (90) working days from the happening thereof, then Landlord shall proceed with all reasonable speed to repair such damage or destruction, exclusive of Tenant’s leasehold improvements which shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. If the Premises cannot reasonably be restored within said ninety (90) day period, then Landlord may, but shall not be required to, elect to restore the Premises. If Landlord does not elect to restore the Premises, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such damage or destruction and both parties shall be released from further liability hereunder, without prejudice, however, to any rights accruing to either party prior to the date of such damage or destruction. If Landlord elects or is required to restore the Premises and promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues such restoration, then this Lease shall not terminate, notwithstanding that the actual time required for such repairs or restoration may exceed that contemplated by the parties and Tenant shall be entitled to a temporary reduction in Fixed Minimum Rent, as determined by Landlord, corresponding to the time during which and that portion of the Premises of which Tenant is deprived of possession on account of such damage or destruction or the repair or restoration thereof undertaken by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to receive the full amount of the proceeds of any business interruption insurance for the undiminished Fixed Minimum Rent and there shall be no reduction in Fixed Minimum Rent if such damage or destruction was the result of the fault or neglect of Tenant, its agents, employees, invitees, customers and employees. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to repair the Premises and Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the Premises are substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause during the last two (2) years of the term of this Lease or if the Building (whether or not Premises are damaged or destroyed) or the Common Areas are substantially destroyed by fire or other cause. If the damage or destruction of the Premises is so minor that the Premises remain fit for occupancy, then Landlord shall repair such damage or destruction as promptly as reasonably possible and there shall be no abatement of Fixed Minimum Rent as a result thereof.
