Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor may be performing Lessor’s Work or portions hereof simultaneously with Lessee’s installation of its FF&E in the Demised Premises, and that Lessee shall use its best efforts to coordinate with Lessor any such installation of FF&E in the Demised Premises so as to avoid interfering in any material respect with the performance and completion of Lessor’s Work.

Any work to be performed by Lessee other than as is necessary to 0equip, decorate and furnish the Demised Premises, shall be at Lessee’s sole cost and expense and Lessee shall not commence any work until (i) two (2) sets of plans and specifications are submitted and reasonably approved by Lessor in writing and (ii) Lessee’s furnishes Lessor with a copy of its building permit authorizing such work.

If and when Lessee shall take possession of the Demised Premises (other than for the limited purposes set forth in Paragraph 45(C)), it shall be conclusively presumed that the same were in satisfactory condition (except for latent defects) as of the date of such taking of possession, unless within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date Lessee shall give Lessor notice specifying the respects in which the Demised Premises were not in satisfactory condition (the “Punch-List”). Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to complete the Punch-List items within thirty (30) days of such notice, subject to delays caused by Lessee or matters outside the reasonable control of Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may notify Lessor within one (1) year after the Commencement Date specifying any unsatisfactory condition related to the Demised Premises’ HVAC equipment.

SIGNAGE
46. Lessee shall erect a sign on the exterior (front) of the Demised Premises which shall consist of individual letters pursuant to Lessor’s reasonable specifications. Lessee shall repair, clean or otherwise maintain such signage as may be reasonably required by Lessor, and upon Lessee’s failure to so comply Lessor may repair or clean such signage at Lessee’s expense and upon demand Lessee shall reimburse Lessor such costs as additional rent hereunder. The location, design and material used for said sign are subject to the written reasonable consent of Lessor, such consent to be obtained prior to the installation. Upon the termination of this Lease, Lessee shall cause such sign letters to be removed by a competent sign company and shall immediately pay to Lessor the reasonable cost of repairing any damage to the exterior of the building.
SECURITY
47. Upon signing this Lease, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor $4,389.65 as security for Lessee's payment of rent and performance of its other obligations under this Lease. If Lessee defaults in its payment of rent, additional rent or performance of its other obligations under this Lease, Lessor may apply all or part of the security to such default. If Lessor so applies any portion of the security, Lessee will restore the security to its original amount within ten (10) days after written demand from Lessor. If Lessee pays the rent and performs all of its other obligations under this Lease, Lessor will return the unused portion of the security after the end of the term. The security will not be a limitation on Lessor's damages or other rights under this Lease or an advance payment of the rent. Lessor may deliver the security to a purchaser of the premises and be discharged from further liability with respect to it. Lessor will not be required to keep the security separate from its general funds and Lessee will not be entitled to interest thereon.
COLLECTION COSTS
48. All costs charged to or incurred by Lessor in the enforcement of its rights under this Lease or in the collection of any amounts owed pursuant to this Lease (whether incurred out of court, at trial, on appeal or in bankruptcy proceedings), including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs, shall be paid by Lessee; and, at the option of Lessor, shall be deemed to be additional rent hereunder and shall be due from Lessee to Lessor on the first day of the following month.

B. This paragraph is intentionally omitted.
C. Environmental Cleanup. At the end of the Lease term, including any renewal or extension thereof, Lessee will provide Lessor with any environmental clearance which may be required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction.

F. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, remediate, remove, correct and/or xxxxx any spillage, discharge or release of any petroleum or hazardous substances, in, on or under the Demised Premises caused specifically by Lessee during the term of this Lease. In the event remediation, removal, correction or abatement is required, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a letter or certification from a third party with relevant jurisdiction or authority (which shall include, but not be limited to, a governmental or regulatory authority) that (i) all remediation, removal, correction or abatement has been completed in accordance with all requisite laws, rules, policies or regulations, and (ii) the site is closed with no further action required by said third party.
X. Xxxxxx hereby represents that there are no hazardous or similar substances in the Demised Premises that are not in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

The term "Lessor" as used in this Lease means only the owner for the time being of the building in which the Demised Premises are located or the owner of a leasehold interest in the building and/or the land thereunder so that in the event of sale of the building or an assignment of this Lease, or a demise of the building and/or land, Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all obligations of Lessor hereunder and it shall be deemed without further agreement between the parties and such purchaser(s), assignee(s) or lessee(s) that the purchaser, assignee or lessee has assumed and agreed to observe and perform all obligations of Lessor hereunder. It is specifically understood and agreed that there shall be no personal liability of Lessor in respect to any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease. In the event of a breach or default by Lessor of any of its obligations under this Lease, Lessee shall look solely to the equity of Lessor in the Development for the satisfaction of Lessee's remedies.

Unless otherwise provided, upon the termination of this Lease under any of the paragraphs hereof, the parties hereto shall be relieved of any further liability hereunder except as to acts, omissions or defaults occurring prior to such termination.
WAIVER OF COVENANT OR CONDITION
59. The failure of Lessor to insist upon strict performance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease or to exercise any option herein conferred in any one or more instances shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such covenants, conditions or options, but the same be and remain in full force and effect.

MISCELLANEOUS

Lessee agrees that its failure to object, require documentation or otherwise challenge the validity of any invoice within thirty (30) days from Lessee’s receipt shall render said statement final, binding and due.
D. Prohibited Use. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, Lessee shall not operate or display any pornographic material or operate a business that is unsuitable for children to visit and patronize.
14 | ||

E. Force Majeure.
