24. REPRESENTATIONS OF TENANT. Xxxxxx represents to the Landlord and agrees
that:
(a) The word "Tenant" as used herein includes the Tenant named above as
well as successors and assigns, each of which shall be under the same
obligations and liabilities and each of which shall have the same rights,
privileges, and powers as it would have possessed had it originally signed this
lease as tenant. Each and every of the persons named above as tenant shall be
bound jointly and severally by the terms, covenants and agreements contained
herein. However, no such rights, privileges or powers shall inure to the benefit
of any assignee of tenant immediate or remote, unless Xxxxxx has complied with
the terms of Section 18 and the assignment to such assignee is permitted or has
been approved in writing by Landlord. Any notice required or permitted by the
terms of this lease may be given by or to any of the persons named above as
tenant, and shall have the same force and effect as if given by or to any one of
the persons named above as Tenant, and shall have the same force and effect as
if given by or to all thereof.
(b) If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or any other form of business
association or entity, Tenant is duly formed and in good standing, and has full
corporate or partnership power and authority, as the case may be, to enter into
this lease and has taken all corporate or partnership action, as the case may
be, necessary to carry out the transaction contemplated herein, so that when
executed, this lease constitutes a valid and binding obligation enforceable in
accordance with its terms. Tenant shall provide Landlord with corporate
resolutions or other proof in a form acceptable to Landlord, authorizing the
execution of this lease at the time of such execution.
25. LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. The word "Landlord" as used herein includes the
Landlord named above as well as its successors and assigns, each of which shall
have the same rights, remedies, powers, authorities and privileges as it would
have had it originally signed this lease as Landlord. Any such person or entity,
whether or not named herein, shall have no liability hereunder after it ceases
to hold title to the Premises except for obligations already accrued, (and, as
to any unapplied portion of Tenant's Security Deposit, Landlord shall be
relieved of all liability therefor upon transfer of such portion to its
successor in interest) and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's successor in
interest for the performance of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord
hereunder which thereafter shall accrue. Neither Landlord nor any principal of
Landlord nor any owner of the Property, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall
have any personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of this lease
or the Premises, and if Landlord is in breach or default with respect to
Landlord's obligations under this lease or otherwise, Tenant shall look solely
to the equity of Landlord in the Property for the satisfaction of Xxxxxx's
claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no mortgagee or ground lessor succeeding
to the interest of Landlord hereunder (either in terms of ownership or
possessory rights) shall be (a) liable for any previous act or omission of a
prior landlord, (b) subject to any rental offsets or defenses against a prior
landlord or (c) bound by any amendment of this lease made without its written
consent, or by payment by Tenant of Minimum Annual rent in advance in excess of
one monthly installment.
