Tenant shall pay at least ten (10) days prior to delinquency any and all Real Property Taxes (defined below) levied or assessed against the Premises during the Term and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all demands for payment of such Real Property Taxes. “Real Property Taxes” means any form of general or special assessment, license fee, commercial rental or gross receipts tax, levy, penalty, duty, charge or tax (other than inheritance, estate or income taxes), including roll-back taxes as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises, imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage, sewer or other improvement district against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the land, buildings, or improvements comprising the Premises, against charges payable to Landlord or other income from the Premises, against the use, occupancy or possession of the Premises or any tax imposed in substitution, partially or totally, of any tax previously included within the definition of real property taxes, or any additional tax the nature of which was previously included within the definition of real property taxes. All reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, experts’ and other witnesses’ fees, incurred by Landlord or Tenant in contesting the validity or amount of any Real Property Taxes or in obtaining a refund of any Real Property Taxes will be considered as part of the Real Property Taxes for the tax year in which such expenses are incurred. Tenant shall pay at least ten (10) days prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied on all trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or elsewhere or assessed or levied as a result of Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises.

At any time that the payment of any item of Real Property Taxes that Tenant must pay under article 3.3 remains unpaid and uncontested ten (10) days before such Real Property Taxes become delinquent, Landlord may give written notice to Xxxxxx. If Tenant fails to pay the Real Property Taxes within three (3) business days before such Real Property Taxes become delinquent, then Landlord may pay the unpaid and uncontested Real Property Taxes, and thereafter Tenant will, on demand, reimburse Landlord any amount paid or expended by Landlord for this purpose, with interest on the amount at the rate of twelve percent (12%) annually from the date of Landlord’s payment until reimbursement by Tenant.

Regardless of whether expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall pay for all insurance, taxes, utilities, repairs, maintenance and other services and expenses relating to the Premises or to Tenant’s use of the Premises. All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be paid without abatement, deduction, offset, prior notice or demand (unless expressly provided by the terms of this Lease).

During the Term, Tenant shall be solely responsible for, and pay when due, all charges for water, sewer, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, cable television, garbage removal and other utilities or services used by or supplied to Tenant or to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon, during the Term. Tenant, at its cost, shall use its best effort to cause all such items to be separately metered or billed. If any such service is not separately metered or billed to Tenant and is billed to Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost associated with Tenant’s use of such service.

5.2 Insurance Policies. The minimum limits of insurance policies as set forth in Section 5.1 shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. The insurance policies shall name Landlord as an additional insured. Tenant shall cause the insurance companies to furnish to Landlord and each lender designated by Landlord a certificate of coverage. Such certificate and the insurance policies shall provide that such policy shall not be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification or cancellation except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord by the insurer. All such policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of any coverage which Landlord may carry. Tenant shall have until at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of such policies to furnish Landlord with renewals or binders. Tenant shall have the right to provide such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies obtained by Tenant provided such blanket policies expressly afford coverage to the Premises and to Landlord as required by this Lease.
5.3 Waiver of Subrogation. To the extent permitted under the insurance policies obtained by Landlord, if any, and Tenant, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all right of recovery against the other or against the officers, employees, agents and representatives of the other, on account of loss or damage occasioned to such waiver part or its property or the property of others under its control to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any fire and extended coverage insurance policy which either have in force at the time of such loss or damage.

In the event of a partial taking which does not result in a termination of this Lease, Revenue shall be abated in the proportion which the part of the Premises so made unusable bears to the rented area of the Premises immediately prior to the taking. No temporary taking of the Premises or Tenant’s right therein or under this Lease shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to any abatement of Tenant thereunder; and any award made to Tenant by reason of any such temporary taking shall belong entirely to Tenant, and Landlord shall not be entitled to any portion thereof.
