amounts.
7. Subordination.
7.1 General. This
Lease shall be subordinate to any mortgages, trust deeds and other financing
instruments ("Mortgages") which affect the Land and/or the Building, so long as
the
3
holders
of any Mortgages agree not to disturb Tenant's rights under this Lease in
connection with the exercise of their rights under the Mortgages. Promptly after
the request by either party, in confirmation of such subordination and
nondisturbance, Tenant shall obtain and Tenant and Landlord shall execute,
acknowledge, and deliver to each other an instrument that evidences such
subordination and nondisturbance in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant and
Landlord.
7.2 INTENTIONALLY
DELETED.
8. Transfers
By Tenant. Tenant
shall not assign this Lease or any interest therein, or sublet
the Premises or any part thereof, or mortgage, encumber or otherwise transfer or
dispose of Tenant's interest in the Premises (each, a "Transfer"), either
voluntarily or involuntarily, without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. If Tenant requests
consent to a proposed Transfer, Tenant shall pay for Landlord's reasonable legal
and administrative expenses incurred in reviewing the request for consent to
Transfer. Consent to one such Transfer shall not imply any future consent, and
all subsequent Transfers shall be made only upon obtaining prior written consent
of Landlord. Assignees shall become directly liable to Landlord for all
obligations of Tenant under this Lease, but Tenant shall remain liable for all
obligations under this Lease. Tenant agrees that the instrument by which any
Transfer is accomplished shall expressly provide that the transferee will
perform and observe all the agreements, covenants, conditions and provisions to
be performed and observed by Tenant under this Lease and that Landlord will have
the right to enforce such agreements, covenants and conditions directly against
such transferee. It
shall be the responsibility of Ten ant to provide Landlord, in a manner
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, with such information as Landlord determines
is necessary for Landlord to grant or withhold its consent. If Tenant is a
corporation or other entity, then any merger, consolidation, liquidation, change
in the ownership or power to vote the majority of voting stock or equity
interests of Tenant shall constitute a Transfer for the purposes of this Section
8.
9. Liability And
Insurance.
9.1 Waiver of
Subrogation. Tenant shall secure appropriate clauses in, or
endorsements
upon, each insurance policy obtained by Tenant which cover or are applicable to
the Premises or the personal property, fixtures and equipment located therein,
pursuant to which the insurance companies waive subrogation or permit the
insureds, prior to any loss, to agree with a third party to waive any claim they
might have against said third party without invalidating the coverage under the
insurance policies. Tenant's waiver of subrogation or permission for waiver of
any claim shall extend to Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties. Tenant
releases Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties in respect of any claim which
they might otherwise have against them for loss, damage or other casualty
occurring during the Term and covered under a fire insurance policy with
extended coverage endorsement in the form normally used in respect of similar
property in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area.
9.2 Tenant's
Insurance. Tenant, at its expense, shall procure and maintain
at all times
during the Term, commercial general liability insurance in respect of the
Premises and the conduct or operation of business therein, with Landlord, as
additional insureds, with limits of not less than $1,000,000 for bodily injury
or death to anyone person and $2,000,000 for bodily injury or death to any
number of persons in anyone occurrence, and N/ A for property damage. All such
insurance shall insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreement as
to
4
liability
for injury to, illness of, or death of persons and damage to property set forth
in this Lease. Tenant shall maintain at Tenant's expense, insurance with
extended coverage endorsement covering Tenant's Property as defined in Section
11.2 of this Lease.
9.3 Delivery of Policies;
Cancellation. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any additional
insureds evidence of the policies or certificates of insurance required by
Section 9.2 in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord issued by an insurance
company authorized to issue insurance in the State of Oregon with a rating of no
less than A-IX in the then current Best's Insurance Guide, at least ten (10)
days before the Commencement Date. Tenant shall procure and pay for renewals of
such insurance prior to the time for the expiration of such policies, and Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord and any additional insureds evidence of such renewal
policies at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of any existing policy.
All such policies shall contain a provision whereby the policies cannot be
canceled or modified unless Landlord and any additional insureds are given at
least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such cancellation or
modification.
10. Alterations.
10.1 Tenant's
Obligations. Except for any initial improvements which
Landlord has expressly agreed to provide pursuant to the attached Exhibit B, if any,
Tenant is leasing the Premises "AS IS" on the date of this Lease. Tenant shall
make no changes, additions, alterations or improvements to the Premises, or
attach any fixtures or equipment, including fish tanks, (individually, each an
"Alteration," and, collectively, the "Alterations") without the prior written
consent of Landlord. Landlord
acknowledges Tenant's plan to quickly have fish tank systems installed in room
BRB 431 by a reputable fish systems installer company. Before proceeding
with any Alterations, Tenant shall submit to Landlord for Landlord's approval,
plans and specifications for the proposed work to be done. The plans and
specifications shall be prepared by an architect first approved by Landlord,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. However, Landlord may
withhold consent to any Alteration that adversely affects the Building's
structure or its mechanical, electrical, plumbing systems or equipment, in
Landlord's sole discretion. Tenant shall not proceed with such work until Tenant
obtains Landlord's approval. Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand the cost and
expense incurred by Landlord in reviewing or having reviewed, said plans and
specifications, and inspecting the Alterations to determine whether the same are
being performed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and all
Laws including, without limitation, the reasonable fees of any architect or
engineer employed by Landlord for such purpose. A Work Order to engage OHSU
Facilities staff to perform oversight and inspection of alterations shall be
initiated by Tenant.
10.2 Bonds. Before
proceeding with any approved Alterations, at Landlord's request, Tenant shall
obtain and deliver to Landlord a performance bond and labor and materials
payment bond (issued by a corporate surety licensed to do business in the State
of Oregon), each in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the Alterations and
in form satisfactory to Landlord.
10.3 Permits.
Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain all necessary governmental permits and
certificates for the commencement and prosecution of the Alterations and for
final approval thereof upon completion, and shall cause the Alterations to be
performed in compliance with all such permits and certificates, applicable Laws
and all applicable requirements of insurance.
5
10.4 Manner. The
Alterations shall, at Landlord's option, be performed by Landlord or by
contractors designated or first approved by Landlord, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall have the right to supervise any work on
the Alterations in the Premises. Tenant shall pay any construction supervision
fees charged by Landlord or its construction supervisor to supervise any such
work. The Alterations shall be performed in such manner as not to interfere with
or delay, and as not to impose any additional expense upon, Landlord (or any
tenant of the Building) in the construction, maintenance, repair or operation of
the Project; and if any such additional expense shall be incurred by Landlord
(or any tenant of the Building) as a result of Tenant's performance of the
Alterations, Tenant shall pay such additional expense upon demand. In performing
the Alterations, Tenant shall fully and promptly comply with and observe the
rules and regulations of Landlord then in force with respect to the making of
the Alterations.
10.5 Indemnification of
Landlord. Tenant, at its expense, shall procure the
cancellation or discharge of all notices of violation and/or liens arising from
or otherwise connected with the Alterations, or any other work, labor, services
or materials done for or supplied to Tenant, or any other person claiming
through or under Tenant. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and save harmless
Landlord and any Master Lessor and Mortgagee from and against any and all
mechanics and other liens and encumbrances filed in connection with the
Alterations, or any other work, labor, services or materials done for or
supplied to Tenant, or any person claiming through or under Tenant. Tenant, at
its expense, shall procure the satisfaction or discharge of record of all such
liens and encumbrances of record within fifteen (15) days after the filing
thereof.

cables, conduits and appurtenances attached to or built into the Premises,
whether or not by or at the expense of Tenant, shall be and remain a part of the
Premises, shall be deemed the property of Landlord and shall not be removed by
Tenant, except as provided in Section 11.2. However, at Landlord's written
request, Tenant shall, at its sole expense upon termination of the Lease, remove
those items specified by Landlord. Tenant shall repair any damage to the
Building caused by such removal and Tenant shall restore the affected area to
the condition it was in immediately prior to installation of the removed items
in question.

manner as Landlord shall determine, at Tenant's expense.

subtenants or its or their employees, agents, contractors or

expense. Such work shall be performed only by contractor(s) designated or
approved in writing by Landlord. Any other repairs in or to the Building and the
facilities and systems thereof for which Tenant is responsible may be performed
by Landlord at Tenant's expense; but Landlord may, at its option, before
commencing any such work or at any time thereafter, require Tenant to furnish to
Landlord such security, bond or surety in a form and amount as Landlord shall
deem necessary to assure the payment for such work by Tenant.
12.4 Waiver.
Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, nor shall Tenant's covenants and
obligations under this Lease be reduced or abated in any manner whatsoever, by
reason of any inconvenience, annoyance, interruption of or injury to Tenant's
business arising from Landlord's making any repairs or changes which Landlord is

Tenant shall, upon installation, pay to Landlord the cost to purchase, install,
service and maintain such additional equipment. The cost of the electric energy

the Building, provided, however, that all such work shall be done as promptly as
possible and so as to cause as little interference with the Tenant's use of the
Premises as reasonably possible. Tenant waives any claim against Landlord for
damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's
business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises or any other
loss occasioned by such entry except to the extent caused by the gross
negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord.
16. Indemnification. Tenant shall

subtenants,
licensees, partners, directors, officers, agents, affiliates, employees,
visitors, invitees or contractors (collectively, the "Tenant Related Parties");
or (c) any accident, injury or damage whatever (unless caused by Landlord's or
the Landlord Related Parties' negligence or intentional act) occurring in, at or
upon the Premises; or (d) any breach or default by Tenant in the full and prompt
payment and performance of Ten ant's obligations under this Lease; together with
all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred or in connection with each such
claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without limitation,
all attorneys' fees and expenses. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or
damage to any person or property, which may be caused by theft, or by any act or
neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Project. Neither Landlord nor any of
the Landlord Related Parties shall be liable for any loss, injury or damage to
Tenant or to any other person, or to its or their property, irrespective of the
cause of such injury, damage or loss, except to the extent caused by or
resulting from the gross negligence or intentional act of Landlord or Landlord's
employees, in the operation or maintenance of the Premises or the Project.
Further, neither Landlord nor any of the Landlord Related Parties shall be
liable for any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in, upon or about
the Project, nor shall Landlord be liable, even if negligent, for consequential
damages, including lost profits, of Tenant or any person claiming through or
under Tenant. Tenant's obligations under this Section 16 shall not be diminished
in any way by the availability or lack of insurance proceeds.
17. Casualty;
Condemnation.
17.1 General. If
the Building shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty to the
extent that more than ten percent (10%) of the Building, as determined by
Landlord, is rendered untenantable, or if the cost of restoration is greater
than the insurance proceeds paid to Landlord, Landlord may, at its election,
terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant. Such notice shall be effective thirty
(30) days after receipt thereof by Tenant. If Landlord does not so terminate the
Lease, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall be
responsible for restoration of the Building. Any restoration by Landlord shall
not include replacement of furniture, equipment or other items designated as
Tenant's Property. Tenant shall be responsible for restoration of Tenant's
Property.
17.2
Condemnation.
17.2.1 Total
Condemnation. If the whole of the Building or the Premises shall be taken
by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public use or
purpose, (including a sale under threat of condemnation) this Lease shall
terminate as of the date of vesting of title on such taking (the "Date of
Taking"), and Rent shall be prorated and adjusted as of Date of
Taking.
17.2.2 Partial
Condemnation. If a part of the Building shall be so taken, this Lease
shall be unaffected by such taking, except that:
(a) Landlord
may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice to
that effect within ninety (90) days after the Date of Taking; and
(b) If
twenty percent (20%) or more of the Premises shall be so taken and the
remaining area of the Premises shall not be reasonably sufficient for Tenant to
continue
9
feasible operation of its
business, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord notice to that
effect within ninety (90) days after the Date of Taking.
(c) If
the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 17.2, the Lease shall
terminate on the date that notice of termination from the Landlord or Tenant to
the other is given, and Rent shall be prorated and adjusted as of such
termination date. Upon a partial taking of the Premises where the Lease is not
terminated pursuant to this Section 17.2, this Lease shall continue in force as
to the remaining part of the Premises, and Rent shall be adjusted according to
the rentable area remaining.
17.2.3 Award.
Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection
with any taking without deduction therefrom for any estate vested in Tenant by
this Lease and Tenant shall receive no part of such award. Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the unexpired portion of
the Term. Nothing contained in this Section 17.2.3 shall be deemed to prevent
Tenant from making a separate claim proceeding for the value of any of Tenant's
Property which is included in the taking.

day of the Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, or upon re-entry
by Landlord upon the Premises, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to

possession of the Premises, without notice, either through self-help, by summary
proceedings, any other applicable action or proceeding, or other means. Landlord
may use the Premises for Landlord's own purposes or relet it upon any reasonable
terms without prejudice to any other remedies that Landlord may have by reason
of Ten ant's default. None of these actions will be deemed an acceptance of
surrender by Tenant. To the extent permitted by law, and except as expressly
provided in this Lease, Tenant waives the service of any notice of intention to
terminate this Lease or to retake the Premises, and waives service of any demand
for payment of rent or for possession, and of any and every other notice or
demand required or permitted under applicable law.
20.1.2 Landlord at its option may relet the whole or any part of the
Premises, from time to time either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such
tenants, for such terms ending before, on, or after the expiration date of the
Term, at such rentals and upon such other conditions (including concessions and
free rent periods) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine to be
appropriate. Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Premises or any part
and shall not be liable for refusal or failure to relet the Premises, or in the
event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon
such reletting. No such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Tenant of
any liability under this Lease or otherwise affect Tenant's liability. If there
is other comparable unleased space in the Project, Landlord shall have no
obligation to attempt to relet the Premises prior to leasing other space in the
Project. However, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages
arising from the Event of Default.
20.1.3 Whether or not Landlord retakes possession of or relets the
Premises, Landlord may recover all damages caused by the default (including but
not limited to unpaid rent, attorneys' fees reasonably incurred, and costs of
reletting). Landlord may xxx periodically to recover damages as they accrue
during the remainder of the Term without barring a later
11
action
for further damages. Landlord may at any time bring an action for accrued
damages plus damages for the remaining Term as allowed by law.
20.2
Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Lease are cumulative and
in addition to any other remedy available to Landlord at law or in
equity.
20.3 Interest on Damages. In
addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under this Lease, if any Rents,
damages or other sums payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord are not paid
within five (5) days after their due date the same shall bear interest at a rate
equal to the prime rate established by Xxxxx Fargo Bank (or its successor) on
the due date plus two percent (2%), accruing from the due date to the date of
payment.
21. Curing
Tenant's Defaults. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any of
Tenant's obligations
under this Lease, Landlord, without waiving such default, may (but shall not be
obligated to) perform the same for the account and expense of Tenant, without
notice in a case of emergency, and in any other case only if an Event of Default
continues after the expiration of five (5) days from the date Landlord gives
Tenant notice of the Event of Default. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord upon
demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in curing Tenant's Event of
Default pursuant to this Section 21.
22. Broker. Tenant covenants, warrants
and represents that it has not engaged any broker, agent or
finder who would be entitled to any commission or fee in connection with the
negotiation and execution of this Lease. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord against and from any claims for any brokerage commissions and
all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including
attorneys' fees and expenses, arising out of any charge or claim for a
commission or fee by any broker, agent or finder on the basis of any agreements
made or alleged to have been made by or on behalf of Tenant.
23. Notices.
Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given by either
party to
the other pursuant to this Lease shall be in writing and delivered in person to
the Landlord or Tenant or sent postage prepaid by registered or certified mail,
addressed to the other party at the address set forth in Section 1.6 or such
other address which may be designated by a party in writing. Notice shall be
considered given and effective on the date of delivery or, if mailed, on the
date of such mailing.
24. Estoppel
Certificates. Each party agrees that at any time requested by the other
party, with not
less than ten (10) days' prior notice, to execute and deliver to the other a
statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
(or if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect
as modified and stating the modifications),
certifying the dates to which the Rent has been paid, stating whether or not,
to
the best
knowledge of the signer, the other party is in default in performance of any of
its obligations under this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default of
which the signer shall have knowledge, and stating whether or not, to the best
knowledge of the signer, any event has occurred which with the giving of notice
or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, and, if so,
specifying each such event; it being intended that any such statement delivered
pursuant hereto shall be deemed a representation and warranty to be relied upon
by the party requesting the certificate and by others with whom such party may
be dealing, regardless of
12
independent
investigation. Tenant shall also include in any such statement such
other information this Lease as Landlord may reasonably request.

subject to the Oregon Tort Claims Act, ORS 30.260 through 30.300.

Entire
Agreement. All understandings and agreements between the

or representation not embodied in the Lease. No agreement shall be
effective to change or modify this Lease, unless such agreement is in writing,
refers expressly to this Lease and is signed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought.
25.4
Successors and
Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Lease the obligations of this Lease bind and benefit the successors and assigns
of the parties.
25.5
Nonrecourse
Lease. Tenant shall look only to Landlord’s estate and
property in the Project (or the proceeds thereof) for the satisfaction of
Tenant’s remedies for the collection of judgment (or other judicial process)
requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default by
Landlord hereunder, and no other property or assets of Landlord or its partners
or principals, disclosed or undisclosed, shall be subject to levy, execution or
other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies under or
with respect to this Lease.
25.6
Force
Majeure. The obligations of Tenant hereunder shall in no
way be affected, impaired or excused, nor shall Landlord have any liability
whatsoever to Tenant, because: Landlord is unable to fulfill, or is delayed in
fulfilling, any of its obligations under this Lease by reason of strike, other
labor trouble, governmental preemption of priorities or other controls in
connection with a national or other public emergency or shortages of fuel,
supplies or labor resulting therefrom, terrorism, threat of terrorism, or any
other cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond Landlord’s reasonable
control; or of any failure or defect in the supply, quantity or character of
electricity, water or other utilities furnished to the Premises, by reason of
any requirement, act or omission of the public utility or other serving the
Building with electric
13
energy,
oil, gas or water, or for any other reason whether similar or dissimilar, beyond
Landlord's reasonable control.
25.7 Effect of
Failure to Consent. If Tenant shall request Landlord's consent
and Landlord shall fail or refuse to give such consent, Tenant shall not be
entitled to any damages for any withholding by Landlord of its consent, it being
intended that Tenant's sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance
or injunction, and that such remedy shall be available only in those cases where
Landlord has expressly agreed in writing not unreasonably to withhold its
consent or where as a matter of law Landlord may not unreasonably withhold its
consent.
25.8 Rules and
Regulations. Tenant and the Tenant Related Parties shall faithfully
observe and comply with the rules and regulations attached to this Lease as
Exhibit C and
such changes therein as Landlord may from time to time hereafter make and give
notice of to Tenant (the "Rules and Regulations"). Landlord shall not be liable
to Tenant for violation of the Rules and Regulations by any other tenant or its
employees, agents, invitees or licensees. If there is a conflict between any
provision of this Lease and a provision of the Rules and Regulations, the
conflicting provision in the Lease shall control.
25.9 Tenant
Holdover. If, with the prior written approval of Landlord, Tenant fails
to vacate the Premises after the Expiration Date of this Lease, or any earlier
termination hereof, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance even if Tenant
tenders rent to Landlord. However, if Landlord so elects, in its sole
discretion, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month upon the terms of
this Lease; provided, however that Base Rent shall be adjusted beginning on the
first day after the Expiration Date to be the equal to 150% of the Base Rent in
effect at the expiration of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any and all damages
caused by such failure to vacate the Premises after the Expiration Date of this
Lease or any earlier termination hereof, including but not limited to incidental
and consequential damages to Landlord.
25.10 Tenant
Representations. If Tenant is a corporation or other entity, Tenant
hereby represents, covenants and warrants that Tenant is duly formed and validly
existing under the Laws of its state of formation; Tenant has full right and
authority to enter into this Lease and to perform all Tenant's obligations
hereunder; and each person (and both of the persons if more than one signs)
signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is duly and validly authorized to do
so.
25.11
Non-Waiver. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been
waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord.
Landlord's waiver of a breach of any term or condition of this Lease shall not
be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach. Acceptance of any Rents or other
payments shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.
25.12 Square Footage
Calculations Approximate. The parties acknowledge and agree that any
calculations of square footage in the Premises and in the Project are
approximations. No recalculation of square footage shall affect the obligations
of Tenant under this Lease including, without limitation, the amount of Rent
payable by Tenant.
25.13 Time.
Time is of the essence of this Lease.
25.14 Late
Fees. Tenant acknowledges
that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent due hereunder will cause
Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact
14
amount of
which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, without
limitation, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be
imposed on Landlord under the terms of any Mortgage. Accordingly, if any Rent
payment is not received by Landlord within ten days after it is due, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue
amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs incurred by Landlord by reason of the late
payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge by Landlord shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount in
question, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and
remedies granted hereunder.
25.15 Financial
Information. Within ten days following any written request from Landlord,
Tenant shall furnish current and complete financial statements to Landlord,
certified by Tenant as accurate and current, showing with reasonably sufficient
detail Tenant's and any guarantor's financial condition. Landlord agrees to use
such information solely for purposes of the Lease and in connection with the
ownership, management, financing and disposition of Landlord's
property.
25.16 Attorneys'
Fees. In the event a suit, action, arbitration, or other proceeding of
any nature whatsoever, including without limitation any proceeding under the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code, is instituted, or the services of an attorney are
retained, to interpret or enforce any provision of this Lease or with respect to
any dispute relating to this Lease, the prevailing or non-defaulting party
shall be entitled to recover from the losing or defaulting party its attorneys',
paralegals' , accountants', and other experts' fees and all other fees, costs,
and expenses actually incurred and reasonably necessary in connection therewith.
In the event of suit, action, arbitration, or other proceeding, the amount of
such costs, fees, and expenses shall be determined by the judge or arbitrator,
shall include fees and expenses incurred on any appeal or review, and shall be
in addition to all other amounts provided by law.
25.17
Severability. If any portion of this Lease is held to be illegal, invalid
or unenforceable under present or future law effective during the Term, the
remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby.
