Peaceful Possession The Authority hereby warrants that:
a) The Project Site has been acquired through the due process of law and belongs to and is vested with the Authority and that the Authority has full powers to hold, dispose of and deal with the same consistent, inter alia, with the provisions of this Agreement.
b) In the event the Developer is obstructed by any Person claiming any right, title or interest in or over the Project Site or any part thereof, or in the event of any enforcement action including any attachment, distrait, appointment of receiver or liquidator being initiated by any Person claiming to have any interest in/charge or the Project Site or any part thereof, the Authority shall, if called upon by the Developer, defend such claims and proceedings and also keep the Developer indemnified against any consequential loss or damages which the Developer may suffer, on account of any such right, title, interest or charge.
TERM; POSSESSION The Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end on the Expiration Date, unless extended or sooner terminated in accordance with this Lease. If Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of all or any portion of the Premises to Tenant as of the Commencement Date, Tenant will take possession on the date Landlord delivers possession, which date will then become the Commencement Date (and the Expiration Date will be extended so that the length of the Term remains unaffected by such delay). Subject to this Section 4, Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to Tenant resulting from any delay in delivering possession due to the holdover of any existing tenant or other circumstances outside of Landlord’s reasonable control. In the event that the Tenant Improvements are not Substantially Completed within one hundred (100) days following the date that Landlord receives a building permit to commence the Tenant Improvements in the Premises (the “Delivery Date”), subject to Tenant Delay or force majeure (in the event of either, the Delivery Date shall be extended by one (1) day for each one (1) day of Tenant Delay or force majeure), Landlord shall credit Tenant against Minimum Annual Rent due under this Lease an amount equal to the holdover portion of Tenant’s existing rental obligations under Tenant’s existing Lease actually incurred by Tenant following the Delivery Date, which Tenant represents to Landlord is equal to $17,031.13 per month. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before one hundred ninety (190) days following the date that Landlord receives a building permit for the Tenant Improvements, for any reason other than Tenant Delay or force majeure, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such delay, except as provided above, subject to Tenant giving Landlord thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of its intention to terminate this Lease if Substantial Completion shall not occur within such thirty (30) day period, in which event all amounts prepaid or deposited by Tenant hereunder shall be promptly returned to Tenant.
Quiet Possession Upon Tenant paying the rent reserved hereunder and observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof, subject to all the provisions of this Lease.
POSSESSION OF PREMISES Tenant shall not be entitled to possession of the premises designated for lease until the security deposit and first month’s rent (or prorated portion thereof), less any applicable promotional discount, is paid in full and the premises designated for lease is vacated by the prior tenant.
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.
POSSESSION AND OCCUPATION 3.1 The CONTRACTOR, its agents, servants and subcontractors shall at all times until the Works have been completed and the OWNER has signed and handed to the CONTRACTOR the final completion form, be entitled to enter and be present on the property for construction purposes. The CONTRACTOR shall further be entitled to enter into and be present on the property for purposes of completing minor works and snags listed on the snag list.
3.2 At no time whatsoever shall the OWNER be entitled to make claim, attach or in any way claim possession or retention of any of the CONTRACTOR's tools, equipment or building material and by signature hereof the OWNER waives all or any right which he may have acquired in this regard.
3.3 The OWNER shall be obliged to take occupation and possession of the Works at a date agreed upon between the parties but not later than 14 (fourteen) days after the handover date and it shall be incumbent on the OWNER to monitor progress of the Works in order to enable him to make whatever arrangements which may be necessary or required by him to:
3.3.1 take possession and occupation of the Works;
3.3.2 make payment of all or any amounts which may then still be due by him to the CONTRACTOR.
3.4 Should the OWNER fail to take occupation and possession of the Works as provided in clause 3.3 OR on such other date as may be agreed between the parties in writing –
3.4.1 it shall irrevocably be deemed for all purposes hereunder, that the OWNER has effectively and fully taken occupation and possession of the property and Works as set out in clause 3.3 and that all items on the snag list have been completed and accepted by the OWNER;
3.4.2 the CONTRACTOR shall not be responsible for any damages to the property after the deemed occupation date and the OWNER shall at his own cost provide security for the property against any vandalism and/or theft and/or any other damages thereto.
3.5 The CONTRACTOR shall, within 14 (fourteen) days from the commencement date as defined in clause 1.1.12, inform the OWNER of the estimated occupation date in writing. It is recorded that -
3.5.1 subject to the bond being registered and/or required proof regarding payment arrangements being submitted by the estimated building commencement date, the date on which the OWNER shall be able to occupy the property is estimated to be approximately 150 (one hundred and fifty) days after the commencement date, subject to the provisions of clause 5.6.
3.5.2 should the CONTRACTOR be unable to meet the estimated occupation date defined in clause 1.1.12 and referred to in clause 3.5.1, he shall be obliged to inform the OWNER in writing thereof at least 30 (thirty) days in advance.
Partial Destruction If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost thereof, and Landlord’s contractor reasonably estimates in a writing delivered to Landlord and Tenant that the damage thereto may be repaired, reconstructed or restored to substantially its condition immediately prior to such damage within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such casualty, and Landlord will receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the costs of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration (including proceeds from Tenant and/or Tenant’s insurance which Tenant is required to deliver to Landlord pursuant to Subparagraph 20(d) below to cover Tenant’s obligation for the costs of repair, reconstruction and restoration of any portion of the tenant improvements and any alterations for which Tenant is responsible under this Lease), then Landlord agrees to commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration and this Lease will continue in full force and effect.
Possession and Occupancy The Seller will deliver possession and occupancy of the Property to the Buyer at Closing. The Seller shall provide access to all locks, including keys, remote controls, and any security/access codes, necessary to operate all locks, mailboxes, and security systems.
DELAY IN POSSESSION If for any reason Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Early Possession Date, if one is specified in Paragraph 1.4, or if no Early Possession Date is specified, by the Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease, or the obligations of Lessee hereunder, or extend the term hereof, but in such case, Lessee shall not, except as otherwise provided herein, be obligated to pay rent or perform any other obligation of Lessee under the terms of this Lease until Lessor delivers possession of the Premises to Lessee. If possession of the Premises is not delivered to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date, Lessee may, at its option, by notice in writing to Lessor within ten (10) days after the end of said sixty (60) day period, cancel this Lease, in which event the parties shall be discharged from all obligations hereunder; provided further, however, that if such written notice of Lessee is not received by Lessor within said ten (10) day period, Lessee's right to cancel this Lease hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. Except as may be otherwise provided, and regardless of when the Original Term actually commences, if possession is not tendered to Lessee when required by this Lease and Lessee does not terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, the period free of the obligation to pay Base Rent, if any, that Lessee would otherwise have enjoyed shall run from the date of delivery of possession and continue for a period equal to the period during which the Lessee would have otherwise enjoyed under the terms hereof, but minus any days of delay caused by the acts, changes or omissions of Lessee.
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.
