RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Hold a public hearing to accept public comments and ADOPT Resolution No. 471
approving and authorizing execution of the Lease Agreement between the Carlsbad
Redevelopment Agency and New Village Arts Theatre for 2787-A State Street, Carlsbad, CA
92008.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
In September, 2006, the Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency (Agency) entered into a lease with
New Village Arts to test the market for a small performing arts theater at the subject location in
Suite B. The theater has demonstrated success and subsequently created demand for
additional arts and culture types of uses within the Village Area. At the same time, the Agency
was testing the market for an appropriate use of another portion of the property for other types
of business establishments as well. Concurrently, the Agency was working to develop plans to
facilitate ultimate redevelopment of the subject property.
On March 18, 2009, the 3100 square feet of retail space located at 2787-A State Street was
vacated (prior to expiration of the lease) by Sowing Sister's Quilt Shop. After obtaining
possession of the premises, the property became available for use to satisfy an alternate
redevelopment purpose, such as lease to another business establishment on an interim basis
and/or complete redevelopment of the site. For a variety of reasons, the Agency has decided
that complete redevelopment of the site is not feasible at this time and will not be pursued. As a
result, an alternate redevelopment and/or economic development purpose must be developed
for the subject property to continue efforts to eliminate blight and/or blighting influences within
the Village Area.
On April 15, 2009, Carlsbad City Council held a business forum to allow Carlsbad businesses
an opportunity to offer suggestions on how to help improve business throughout the City,
including the Village Redevelopment Area. As a result of the input received, a Carlsbad
Economic Stimulus Plan was developed. The Plan is aimed at encouraging new local
economic development activities and developing partnerships with other groups over the course
of the next year. One idea that was incorporated into the Plan was for development of an Arts
Incubator in the Village Redevelopment Area to expand arts, culture and entertainment venues.

The Arts Incubator idea was aimed at creating a place where cultural arts would grow and
flourish, becoming a catalyst for development of a larger Arts District in the future and serving in
a general economic development and redevelopment capacity. The State Street property
owned by the Agency was identified as an ideal location for this Arts Incubator. As a result, the
Housing and Redevelopment Commission, acting on behalf of the Agency, indicated to its staff
that that any lease proposals submitted for consideration for the subject property should include
some type of cultural arts focus, such as an arts incubator.
In late April 2009, the Agency received two written proposals. One for an ethnic market, and
one for an arts incubator, which was submitted by New Village Arts Theatre (NVA). As noted
above, NVA currently leases and occupies approximately 6,100 square feet at 2787-B State
Street, as a theater facility. NVA's existing theater space is located immediately behind 2787- A
State Street, and shares some facilities with the now vacant space. NVA's proposal focuses on
their use of the space as a way to expand existing theater programming, develop new
community partnerships with other arts oriented organizations and individuals, including those
in the field of both visual and performing arts. NVA proposes to occupy and operate the arts
incubator and pay a lease payment to the Agency of one dollar ($1 ) per year. In addition they
will provide an annual report to the Agency/City that includes financial statements, annual goal
statement, and an annual report summarizing the prior year's programs accomplishments and
impacts on the Carlsbad Village Area.
Staff has negotiated the attached lease agreement between the Agency and NVA to allow for
an interim arts incubator use within 2787-A State Street. The term of the lease will be for a one
year period. At the end of the initial term, the Agency/City will review the success of the
incubator program, and if requested by NVA, consider an extension of one additional year.
Per California Health and Safety Code Section 33400(b), the Agency is permitted to "rent,
maintain, manage, operate, repair and clear real property purchased for the purposes of
redevelopment". Therefore, the Agency may enter into the noted lease agreement and allow
use of the building for an art incubator use for economic development purposes and continued
revitalization/redevelopment of the Village Area. The use will also eliminate a blighting influence
(vacant, underutilized building) in a key focus area for revitalization purposes. The use will also
assist in the implementation of a key business development strategy for the Village Area by
enhancing arts, culture and entertainment opportunities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Per California Health and Safety Code Section 33433, the Agency must provide a report on the
lease and its fiscal and other impacts. The required report is attached for review and was made
available for public inspection. The lease agreement requires final approval by the Housing and
Redevelopment Commission following a public hearing. It should be noted that the below
market or reuse rent value triggers a requirement for the New Village Arts to pay state
prevailing wage for all construction activities related to any construction-related tenant
improvements.
As indicated within the attached report, there is some fiscal impact to the Agency associated
with the action. In the past the subject space was leased for retail uses at a market lease rate,
resulting in positive income for the Agency. However, a current decline in retail leasing activity
in Carlsbad has dramatically impacted public interest in the space. Leasing 2787-A State
PageS
Street to NVA for one dollar ($1) per year will result in a potential loss of lease revenue for the
Agency from previous levels, presuming the space could alternatively be leased at a market
rate at some point in the future when the leasing market improves. However, introduction of an
Arts Incubator in the Village Redevelopment Area is anticipated to bring visitors to the Village
and create new economic activity in the area that will support local business. It may also prove
to be an effective catalyst in creating an Arts District in the Village area. Although the rent will
be only $1.00, NVA will provide a $2000 security deposit and be financially responsible for all
costs associated with any required or desired tenant improvements.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The Planning Director has determined that the project is exempt form the California
Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA guidelines. Section 15301
exempts projects or activities that consist of leasing of existing public facilities involving no
expansion of use. Lease of public property for operation of an arts incubator, and no other plan
for development of that property, is such an activity. Should the Agency or City decide to
pursue development of the site at a future date, additional environmental review will be
conducted.

FISCAL AND OTHER IMPACTS ON LEASE
SECTION 33433 REDEVELOPMENT REPORT
NEW VILLAGE ARTS THEATER
SHORT TERM LEASE
June 1,2009
Lease Summary
The Redevelopment Agency shall lease additional space at Agency-owned property located at
2787 State Street (Suite A) to New Village Arts, a non-profit theatre company, for one dollar
($1) per year for initially a one (1) year term (with a possible one year extension at the discretion
of the Agency) for the purposes of establishing a temporary arts and cultural business incubator
within the Village Redevelopment Area. A recent Business Development Plan for the Village
indicates a need for, and focus on, enhanced arts, culture and entertainment opportunities within
the Village Area. This particular location has not proved financially successful for several prior
retail tenants. Allowing the subject property to be used on an interim basis as an arts and cultural
business incubator will allow the Agency to test the success and benefit of additional arts, culture
and entertainment opportunities within the Village without a large outlay of capital by either the
Agency and/or the Arts, Culture and Entertainment (ACE) community. A copy of the proposed
lease is attached for public review.
Fiscal Impacts
The cost of the lease agreement to the Agency and the estimated value of the lease are outlined
below for information purposes.
1. Cost to the Agency: The original land acquisition cost was $500,000 for the 9,800 square
foot building at 2787 State Street. There are currently two (2) leaseable spaces within the
subject building. The rear space is approximately 6,310 square feet in size, and the front
space is approximately 3490 square feet in size. The rear space although larger than the
front space has no street frontage or assigned parking, and was initially an unimproved
space typical of a warehouse or storage area for lumber and/or related supplies. Its value
at acquisition was estimated at approximately $240,000. The front space is valued higher
on a square footage basis due to its street frontage and more extensive improvements,
including air conditioning. Its value at acquisition was estimated at approximately
$260,000. The rear space is currently leased to New Village Arts for one dollar ($1) a
year for a small (99 seat) theater. The front space is now proposed for a lease with New
Village Arts for one dollar ($1) a year for an art and cultural business incubator. In the
past, this front space has been leased to retail operators at generally market rate rents.
However, there has been little success as of this date by retail businesses at this location.
To date, no retail business operator has completed its lease term in its entirety for various
reasons at the subject location.
The property was purchased with tax exempt bond proceeds with the intent of facilitating
redevelopment of the site as well as other properties at the corner of Grand Avenue and
State Street at a future date. As of this date, there have been no relocation or demolition
q
Section 33433 Redevelopment Report - NVA Lease
Page 2
costs to the Agency. To date, approximately $25,150 has been expended by the Agency
and/or City of Carlsbad to improve the building to allow for its use to benefit the Village
Redevelopment Area. Approximately $21,000 of the subject improvement cost was
allocated to the front space and $4,150 to the rear space. No further improvements and/or
related costs are anticipated at this time by the Agency to allow for continued use of the
rear space for the theater use or the front space of the building for an arts incubator
operated by New Village Arts. Costs for any required or desired tenant improvements
shall be the responsibility of the tenant(s).
2. Estimated Value of the Interest to be Leased at Highest and Best Use: The most recent
retail business leasing the subject space had a monthly lease rate of a $1.87 per square
foot (approximately $5800 per month) based on its existing limitations (no private
parking, limited lease term, considerable age of building, construction type, etc.). The
highest and best use for the space had been considered retail and $1.87 square foot was
considered a reasonable market lease rate (2008/09). The Agency believes that this is an
appropriate continuing fair market rent for the subject space if it were to be rented to
another retail business. This would equate to approximately $69,600 in lease revenue per
year for the subject space. However, as noted above, from an economic development and
business revitalization perspective, the Agency believes that the space could be better
utilized as an arts incubator to encourage new arts, culture and entertainment
opportunities within the Village Area. The current proposed lease is one dollar ($1) per
year.
3. Estimated Value of the Interest with the Conditions of the Lease: The New Village Arts
intends to lease the subject space for the purposes of operating an arts incubator in an
effort to develop new ACE opportunities in the Village Redevelopment Area. This is
consistent with a Business Development Strategy approved for the Village Area a few
years ago and currently being implemented by the Agency. The rent will be set at $1.00
per year which is a rental rate that is below the estimated market value of $69,600 per
year for a retail business. However, because the arts incubator is an economic
development and business revitalization tool and in itself will not generate any type of
revenue to support a lease payment, the Agency has determined that the estimated reuse
value of the subject property for the lease is no more than $1. New Village Arts has
agreed to pay for any required or desired tenant improvements, pay rent of $1 per year,
and provide a deposit of $2000, plus provide the appropriate insurance coverage for any
damage caused to the building during their use.
Impact on Blight Elimination
It is the Agency's opinion that the lease of the subject space within the subject property will
assist in the elimination of blight within the Village Redevelopment Area by:
1. Eliminating the negative visual and land use impacts of a vacant, abandoned
space/building in close proximity to the commuter rail station and in a critical
redevelopment focus area by ensuring the continued existence of an appropriate use
within the building.
Section 33433 Redevelopment Report - NVA Lease
Page 3
2. Testing the customer market for the most appropriate land use for the property to assist
with implementation plans for ultimate redevelopment of the site at some future date.
3. Assist with efforts to reduce evening crime in the Village by providing an alternate
evening activity that will encourage more positive pedestrian traffic and public
interaction in the area.
4. Assist in the effort to revitalize the retail and dining environment by providing for the
creation of new arts, culture and evening entertainment opportunities which currently do
not exist within the area.
Summary
The subject lease provides the Redevelopment Agency with the opportunity to determine if there
is a market demand for additional arts, culture and entertainment businesses within the Village
Area at a nominal cost. The arts incubator project is desired by the business community as an
economic development and business revitalization or stimulus tool for the Village Area. The arts
incubator project is aimed at creating a place where cultural arts can grow and flourish, and
potentially becoming a catalyst for development of a larger Arts District and other related
businesses. Use of the subject building at a reduced rate for the noted arts incubator is best
considered as an investment in the future of the Village Area as efforts continue to stimulate the
economy, and to revitalize and redevelop the Area.

occupancy of any part thereof by any other person or business entity, nor permit transfer
of the lease by merger, consolidation or dissolution, without the prior written consent of
Lessor, in each instance. This lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and any successors of Lessee as fully and to the same extent as though

this lease shall extend to and bind any assigns and sublessee of Lessee.
15. DEFAULT:
(a) It is mutually understood and agreed that if any default be made in the

paragraph, Lessor shall have any rights to which it would be entitled in the
event of the expiration or sooner termination of this lease.
16. BANKRUPTCY: In the event Lessee becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, files a petition in bankruptcy or becomes the subject of a bankruptcy
proceeding, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or
dissolution proceeding, or in the event of any judicial sale of Lessee's interest under this
lease, Lessor shall have the right to declare this lease in default.
17. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR:

full responsibility for the interior operation, maintenance, including painting,
and repair of the premises, throughout the term and without expense to the
Lessor. Lessee will perform all interior maintenance, repairs and
replacements, including glass, necessary to maintain and preserve the
premises in a good, safe, healthy and sanitary condition satisfactory to Lessor
and in compliance with all applicable laws. Lessee further agrees to provide
approved containers for trash and garbage and to keep premises free and clear
of rubbish and litter, or any other fire hazards. Lessor shall be responsible for
all exterior maintenance, including roof repairs.
(b) For the purpose of keeping the premises in a good, safe, healthy and sanitary
condition, Lessor shall have the right but not the duty, to enter, view, inspect,
determine the condition of and protect its interests in, the premises. If
inspection discloses that the premises are not in the condition described,
Lessee must perform the necessary maintenance work within thirty (30) days
after written notice from Lessor. Further, if at any time during the term of the
lease for the premises Lessor determines that the premises are not in the
condition described, Lessor may require Lessee to file and pay for a faithful
performance bond, to assure prompt correction without additional notice. The
amount of this bond shall be adequate, in Lessor's opinion, to correct the
unsatisfactory condition. The rights reserved in this section shall not create
any obligations or increase any obligations for Lessor elsewhere in this Lease.
18. TAXES AND UTILITIES: This Lease may result in a taxable possessory interest.
Lessee shall be solely responsible for payment of property taxes associated with its
occupancy of the leased premises, if any apply. Lessee agrees to and shall pay before
delinquency all its pro-rata share of the possessory taxes and assessments of any kind
assessed or levied upon Lessee or the leased premises by reason of this lease or of any
structures, machines, or other improvements of any nature whatsoever erected, installed
or maintained by Lessee, or by reason of the business or other activities of Lessee upon
or in connection with the leased premises. Lessee shall also pay any fees imposed by law

or under this lease, and shall pay before delinquency any and all charges for utilities at or
on the leased premises. If Lessee fails to pay said possessory taxes, Lessor may declare
default in accordance with Paragraph 14. Lessee shall be responsible for payment of all
utilities, including but not limited to security alarm, trash, water, gas and electricity.
19. CONFORMANCE WITH RULES AND REGULATIONS: Lessee agrees that in all
activities on or in connection with the leased premises and in all uses thereof, including

improvements, it will abide by and conform to all ordinances, rules and regulations
prescribed by the City of Carlsbad, including, but not limited to, sign regulations and

applicable laws, including those of the County Health Department, the State of California
and Federal Government, as any of the same now exist or may hereafter be adopted or
amended.
20. NON-DISCRIMINATION: Lessee agrees not to discriminate against any person or
class of persons by reason of sex, color, race, religion, or national origin. If the use
provided for in this lease allows the Lessee to offer accommodations or services to the
public, such accommodations or services shall be offered by the Lessee to the public on
fair and reasonable terms.
21. PARTIAL INVALIDITY: If any term, covenant, condition, or provision of this lease
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no
way be affected, impaired, or invalidated thereby.
22. HOLD HARMLESS: Lessee shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lessor, its
officers and employees from liability, damage, and expense of any kind, including
reasonable attorney's fees, arising from all claims or causes of action of any kind

its employees, and invitees resulting directly or indirectly from granting and performance
of this lease or arising from the use and operation of the leased premises or any defect in
any part thereof.
23. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES: The term "Hazardous Substance" as used in this
Lease shall mean any product, substance, or waste whose presence, use, manufacture,
disposal, transportation, or release, either by itself or in combination with other materials
expected to be on the premises, is either: (i) potentially injurious to the public health,
safety or welfare, the environment or the premises, (ii) regulated or monitored by any
government authority, or (iii) a basis for potential liability of Lessor to any governmental
agency or third party under any applicable statue or common law theory. Lessee shall not
cause or permit any Hazardous Substance to be spilled or released in, on, under, or about

the premises (including through the plumbing or sanitary sewer system) and shall
promptly, at Lessee's expense, take all investigatory and/or remedial action reasonably
recommended, whether or not formally ordered or required, for the cleanup of any
contamination of, and for the maintenance, security and/or monitoring of the premises or
neighboring properties, that was caused or contributed to by Lessee, or pertaining to or
involving any Hazardous Substance brought onto the premises during the term of this
Lease, by or for Lessee, or any third party.
24. EASEMENTS:
(a) This lease and all rights given hereunder shall be subject to all easements and
rights-of-way now existing or heretofore granted or reserved by Lessor in, to
or over the leased premises for any purpose whatsoever, and shall be subject
to such rights-of-way for reasonable access, sewers, pipelines, conduits and
such telephone, cable television, telegraph, light, heat or power lines as may
from time to time be determined by Lessor to be necessary.
(b) Lessor agrees that such easements and rights-of-way shall be so located and
installed as to produce a minimum amount of interference to the business of
Lessee.
25. INSURANCE: Lessee shall obtain and maintain for the duration of this lease agreement
and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage
to property which may arise out of or in connection with use of the subject building and
provision of services by Lessee. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier
admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California. The insurance carrier is
required to have a current Best's Key Rating of not less than "A-V". The policies for
said insurance shall, as a minimum, provide the following forms of coverage:
(a) Comprehensive General Liability - (covering premises and operations in
the amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single
limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If
the submitted policies contain aggregate limits, general aggregate limits will
apply separately under this lease or the general aggregate will be twice the
required per occurrence limits.
(b) Property Insurance - Lessee shall obtain and maintain insurance coverage
on all of Lessee's personal property, trade fixtures, alterations and utility
installations. Such insurance shall be full replacement cost coverage with a
deductible of not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per occurrence.
The proceeds from any such insurance shall be used by Lessee for the
replacement of personal property and trade fixtures as well as alterations and
utility installations.
2787 A State Street Lease Agreement

Page 10
Lessor will be responsible for providing coverage for the structure itself,
exclusive of the items required to be covered by Lessee's insurance policy.
(c) Evidence of Insurance - Certificates and endorsements in a form acceptable
to Lessor evidencing the existence of the necessary insurance policies shall be
kept on file with Lessor during the entire term of this lease. All insurance
policies shall be primary coverage, and will name Lessor as an additional
insured, protect Lessor against any legal costs in defending claims and will
not terminate without thirty (30) days written notice to Lessor.
(d) Lessor shall retain the right at any time to review the coverage, form, and
amount of the insurance required hereby. If, in the opinion of the Lessor, the
insurance provisions in this lease do not provide adequate protection for
Lessor and/or for members of the public using the leased premises, Lessor
may require Lessee to obtain an insurance policy sufficient in coverage, form
and amount to provide adequate protection. Lessor's requirements shall be
reasonable but shall be designed to assure protection from and against the kind
and extent of risk, which exist at the time a change in insurance is required.
(e) Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing of changes in the insurance requirements
and, if Lessee does not deposit certificates/endorsements evidencing
acceptable insurance policies with Lessor incorporating such changes within
thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, this lease shall be in default without
further notice to Lessee, and Lessor shall be entitled to all legal remedies.
(f) The procuring of such required policies of insurance shall not be construed to
limit Lessee's liability hereunder nor to fulfill the indemnification provisions
and requirements of this lease. Notwithstanding said policies of insurance,
Lessee shall be obligated for the full and total amount of any damage, injury,
or loss caused by negligence or neglect connected with this lease or with the
use or occupancy of the leased premises.
(g) Lessee agrees not to use the premises in any manner, even if use is for
purposes stated herein, that will result in the cancellation of any insurance
Lessor may have on the premises, or on adjacent premises, or that will cause
cancellation of any other insurance coverage for the premises, or adjoining
premises. Lessee further agrees not to keep on the premises or permit to be
kept, used, or sold thereon, anything prohibited by any fire or other insurance
policy covering the premises. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense,
comply with any and all requirements, in regard to premises, of any insurance
organization necessary for maintaining fire and other insurance coverage at
reasonable cost.

26. WARRANTIES-GUARANTEES-COVENANTS: Lessor makes no warranty,
guarantee, covenant, including but not limited to covenants of title and quiet enjoyment,
or declaration of any nature whatsoever, concerning the condition of the leased premises,
including the physical condition thereof, or any condition which may affect the leased
premises, and it is agreed that Lessor will not be responsible for any loss, damage or costs
which may be incurred by Lessee by reason of any such condition or conditions.
27. DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES: In the event of damage to or
destruction by fire, the elements, acts of God, or any other cause, of twenty five percent
(25%) or less of the improvements located within the premises Lessee shall, within ninety
(90) days, commence and diligently pursue to completion the repair, replacement, or
reconstruction of improvements necessary to permit full use and occupancy of the
demised premises for the purposes required by this lease. Repair, replacement or
reconstruction of improvements within the demised premises shall be accomplished in a
manner and according to plans approved by Lessor; provided, however, Lessee shall not
be obligated to repair, reconstruct or replace the improvements following their
destruction in whole or substantial part (more than 25% of improvements) except to the
extent the loss is covered by insurance required to be carried by Lessee pursuant to
Paragraph 24 of this Lease (or would be covered whether or not such required insurance
is actually in effect). If Lessee elects not to restore, repair or reconstruct as herein
provided, then the Lease shall terminate. Rent shall not be abated during the repair
period, except to the extent that Lessor is compensated by Lessee's insurance for rental
loss. Lessor shall be entitled to any insurance proceeds and other compensation for the
loss.
28. QUITCLAIM OF LESSEE'S INTEREST UPON TERMINATION: Upon
termination of this lease for any reason, including but not limited to termination because
of default by Lessee, Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor within
thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand thereof a good and sufficient deed
whereby all right, title and interest of Lessee in the demised premises is quitclaimed to
Lessor. Should Lessee fail or refuse to deliver the required deed to Lessor, Lessor may
prepare and record a notice reciting the failure of Lessee to execute, acknowledge and
deliver such deed and said notice shall be conclusive evidence of the termination of this
lease and of all right of Lessee or those claiming under Lessee in and to the demised
premises.
29. PEACEABLE SURRENDER: Upon the expiration of this lease or sooner termination
or cancellation thereof, as herein provided, Lessee will peaceably surrender said premises
to Lessor in as good condition as said premises were at the date of this lease, ordinary
wear and tear excepted. If the Lessee fails to surrender the premises at the expiration of
this lease or the earlier termination or cancellation thereof, Lessee shall defend and
indemnify Lessor from all liability and expense resulting from the delay or failure to
surrender, including, without limitation, any succeeding Lessee's claims based on
Lessee's failure to surrender.

30. WAIVER: Any waiver by Lessor of any breach by Lessee of any one or more of the
covenants, conditions, or agreements of this lease shall not be, nor be construed to be, a
waiver of any subsequent or other breach of the same or any other covenant, condition or
agreement of this lease, nor shall any failure on the part of Lessor to require or exact full
and complete compliance by Lessee with any of the covenants, conditions, or agreements
of this lease be construed as in any manner changing the terms hereof or to prevent
Lessor from enforcing the full provisions hereof. The subsequent acceptance of rent
hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee
of any term, covenant, or condition of this lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay
the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding
breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.
31. NO RIGHT TO HOLD OVER: Lessee has no right to retain possession of the
premises or any part thereof beyond the expiration or termination of this lease. In the
event that Lessee holds over, then the Base Rent shall be increased to Three Thousand
One Hundred Dollars ($3,100.00) per month applicable during the month immediately
preceding the expiration or termination. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as
consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.
32. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES:
(a) Prior to execution of this lease, Lessee shall be entitled to have independent
tests performed to satisfy Lessee that the premises are in condition for
occupancy.
(b) By signing this Lease, Lessee represents and warrants that it has
independently inspected the premises and made all tests, investigations and
observations necessary to satisfy itself of the condition of the premises.
Lessee further acknowledges that premises are in an acceptable condition, and
that Lessee does not hold Lessor responsible for any defects in premises.
33. QUIET POSSESSION: Lessee will at all times during the terms of this Lease occupy
the premises quietly and not commit any act, waste or nuisance which disturbs the quiet
enjoyment of the property for Lessor, public, any neighbor or other tenant of Lessor.
34. SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST: Unless otherwise provided in this lease, the terms,
covenants and conditions herein shall apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors,
administrators, and assigns of all the parties hereto, all of whom shall be jointly and
severally liable hereunder.
35. ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING: This lease contains the entire and only understanding
and agreement of the parties, and Lessee, by accepting the same, acknowledges that there
is no other written or oral understanding or agreement between the parties with respect to

the demised premises and that this lease supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions,
obligations and rights of the parties hereto. No waiver, modification, amendment or
alteration of this lease shall be valid unless it is expressly in writing and signed by
authorized persons of the parties hereto. Each of the parties to this lease acknowledges
that no other party, nor any agent or attorney of any other party, has made any promise,
representations, waiver or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, which is not
expressly contained in writing in this lease, and each party further acknowledges that it
has not executed this lease in reliance upon any collateral promise, representation, waiver
or warranty, or in reliance upon any belief as to any fact not expressly recited in this
lease.

provisions of this lease.

writing to receive such notice or may be served by certified letter addressed to the
appropriate address hereinafter set forth or to such other address as Lessor and Lessee
may hereafter designate by written notice. If served by certified mail, forty-eight (48)
hours after deposit in the U.S. Mail, service will be considered completed and binding on
the party served.
