any power or authority to make any structural changes in any building or to make

thereof having jurisdiction, except to notify the Owner promptly or forward to
the Owner promptly any
complaints, warnings, notices, or summonses received by it relating to such
matters. The Owner represents that to the
best of its knowledge the Premises and such equipment comply with all such
requirements and authorizes the Agent, its representatives,

whatsoever which may be imposed on them or any of them by reason of any present
or future violation or alleged violation of such laws, ordinances, statutes, or
regulations.

statute, ordinance, law, or regulation of any governmental body or any order or
ruling of any public authority or official thereof having or claiming to have

absolute discretion, considers that the action or position of the Owner or registered managing
Agent with respect
thereto may result in damage or liability to the Agent, the Agent shall have the right to
cancel this Agreement at any time by written notice to the Owner of its election so to
do, which cancellation shall be effective upon the service of such
notice. Such notice may be served personally or by registered mail,

the address designated for such person as provided in Paragraph 2.2 above, and
if service by mail shall be deemed to have been served when deposited in the
U.S. Mail. Such cancellation shall not release the indemnities of the
Owner set forth in
Paragraph 4 and 6.2 above and shall not terminate any liability or obligation of
the Owner to the Agent for any payment,
reimbursement, or other sum of money then due and payable to the Agent hereunder.
7. This

thirty (30) days after the end of the month in which the Agreement is terminated
