SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 111, 2018 Authorizing the Lease of, and the Grant of an Option to Purchase,
City-Owned Property at 317 and 321 South Sherwood Street to Faith Family Hospitality of Fort Collins, Inc.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to obtain approval for a lease of City-owned property located at 317-321 South
Sherwood to the non-profit corporation, Faith Family Hospitality of Fort Collins, Inc., a Colorado nonprofit
corporation (FFH). FFH currently provides three core programs including case management, day center and
an overnight shelter for families experiencing homelessness in Fort Collins. This facility will allow FFH to
expand its program to include transitional housing. FFH is requesting a less than market lease rate of $25 per
month for a period of up to 25 years, including an option to purchase said property between the third year and
fifteenth year of the lease at a purchase price of $700,000. This purchase price was supported by the Council
Finance Committee.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City purchased two buildings in the 1980s at 317 and 321 South Sherwood. These properties were
purchased for a facility for victims of domestic abuse. The funding for these purchases came from CDBG
funding. Crossroads Safehouse operated at this site for over 30 years until it moved in 2011.
When the building became vacant and available, City staff followed a public process to identify a potential
tenant for the property, beginning with a neighborhood listening session in 2014. Neighbors within a 1,000-foot
boundary, as well as non-profit organizations, were invited. The City team spent time investigating the
property and its condition. The City moved forward with an open house, tour, and a survey to all interested
organizations. The survey included the question of what organizations would need from the City to proceed
with using the property to provide services. Most organizations needed quite a bit of support from the City to
proceed. The City followed up with one question, “Would you be interested in a low-cost lease with your
organization being responsible for all maintenance?” There was one positive answer and that was Faith
Family Hospitality.
Faith Family Hospitality supports families experiencing homelessness to achieve sustainable self-sufficiency in
a timely and dignified manner. They are currently running their program using many area churches. The
ability to rent this facility allows them to help more families transition out of homelessness. All participants
must successfully complete the FFH emergency shelter program, must have an income but not enough to rent
a home for themselves. The goal is to successfully transition these families into permanent housing, with the
family able to pay for the housing costs.
Agenda Item 15
Item # 15 Page 2
Since FFH will be responsible for all costs associated with the property, it requested a purchase option to be
incorporated in the lease. To identify a value of the property, the City acquired an appraisal of this property in
2016. While the appraised value was over $1M, staff and the Council Finance Committee concluded that the
$700,000 amount was acceptable to all parties. The City understands that housing this vulnerable population
often requires some public investment.
Factors considered when establishing the value included the potential costs to FFH to get the property ready
for its program, which includes:
• Testing the building systems and potential asbestos issues. (Changes in their design eliminated the
possibility of disturbing asbestos).
• Engineering costs for studying the flow and design of the alley. (FFH has already contributed $32,500.00
for designing the required portion of the alley and the City will pay the remainder, as well as assume
responsibility for paving the alley.)
• Constructing a required employee parking lot.
The purchase price established is $700,000. The breakdown is:
$1,160,000 appraised value of property
-250,000 FFH upfront investment (this is an at least cost and will probably be more)
-210,000 Value of City’s contribution to the community
$ 700,000 Purchase Option Price
The use of this property by FFH benefits the community by providing a needed service – group housing for
families, and the use is supported by City Policy (Affordable Housing Strategic Plan) and the City’s Strategic
Plan (working with partners to address homelessness).
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Annual rent collected from this lease will result in $300 per year in rent revenue for a total of $7,500 over the
course of 25 years. Rent for this space is based on the lease rate determined by staff for a bona fide non-
profit organization like FFH. FFH will be responsible for expenses of all utilities, property maintenance
including plumbing, electrical and heating and air conditioning, communication services, trash services and
taxes. In addition, FFH will be responsible for any tenant finish costs.

OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AUTHORIZING THE LEASE OF, AND THE GRANT OF AN OPTION TO PURCHASE,
CITY-OWNED PROPERTY AT 317 AND 321 SOUTH SHERWOOD STREET
TO FAITH FAMILY HOSPITALITY OF FORT COLLINS, INC.
WHEREAS, the City is the owner of two adjacent parcels of property located at 317 and
321 South Sherwood Street in Fort Collins, more particularly described as Lots 3 and 4, Block 73
(together, the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the City purchased the property in the 1980s to provide a facility for victims
of domestic violence, and the City lease the Property to Crossroads Safehouse for 30 years until
Crossroads purchased its own property and moved its program; and
WHEREAS, City staff conducted a public process to find a potential new non-profit
tenant for the Property that would use it for a purpose of benefit to the City and its residents; and
WHEREAS, through that process the City identified Faith Family Hospitality of Fort
Collins, Inc. (“FFH”) as the only organization interested in leasing the Property and being
responsible for maintaining it; and
WHEREAS, FFH supports families experiencing homelessness to help them become
self-sufficient and transition into permanent housing; and
WHEREAS, City staff believes it is in the best interests of the community to lease the
Property to FFH with an option to purchase the Property; and
WHEREAS, City staff and FFH have negotiated a proposed lease by which the City
would lease the Property to FFH for up to 25 years at a lease rate of $25 per month, and grant
FFH an option to purchase the Property at any time between the third and fifteenth years of the
lease at a purchase price of $700,000, after which time any purchase would have to be
renegotiated; and
WHEREAS, a copy of the draft lease agreement is attached hereto and incorporated
herein as Exhibit “A” (the “Lease”); and
WHEREAS, under the terms of the Lease, FFH would also pay for all utilities, property
maintenance, communication services, trash services, janitorial services and taxes related to the
Property; and
WHEREAS, Section 23-113(b) of the City Code authorizes the City Council to lease any
and all interests in real property owned in the name of the City if the City Council first finds that
the lease is in the best interests of the City; and
WHEREAS, if the proposed term of the lease exceeds twenty years, the lease must be
approved by the City Council by ordinance; and
-2-
WHEREAS, Section 23-111(a) of the City Code authorizes the City Council to sell,

based on the five factors listed in Section 23-114; and
WHEREAS, leasing the Property to FFH for less than fair market value, and granting
FFH an option to purchase the Property for less than fair market value, serves a bona fide public
purpose because:
(1) The use to which the Property will be put promotes health, safety or general
welfare and benefits a significant segment of the citizens of Fort Collins by
providing transitional housing for families experiencing homeless to stabilize
their lives;
(2) The use to which the Property will be put supports Strategy 4.3 of the City’s
Affordable Housing Strategic Plan, which is to increase housing and associated
services for people with special needs (this category includes those who are
homeless, seniors, persons with disabilities, and victims of domestic violence,) as
well as Strategic Objective 1.2 of the City’s Strategic Plan, which calls for
collaborating with other agencies to make homelessness rare, short lived and non-
recurring;
(3) The financial support provided by the City through the below-market lease of the
Property and potential sale of the Property will be leveraged with other funding
and assistance received by FFH;
(4) The lease and sale of the Property will not result in any direct financial benefit to
any private person or entity, except to the extent such benefit is only an incidental
consequence and is not substantial relative to the public purpose being served; and
(5) Neither leasing the Property for less than fair market rent nor selling the Property
for less than fair market value will interfere with current City projects or work
programs, hinder workload schedules or divert resources needed for primary City
functions or responsibilities.

(“Initial Term”). At the end of the Initial Term of this Lease, Lessee can renew this Lease for an
additional ten (10) year term, subject to Lessor’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If Lessee wishes to renew the Lease for a subsequent term, Lessee shall notify Lessor
no less than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Initial Term.

the Lessee will execute a Memorandum of Lease for recording, containing the names of the
EXHIBIT A
2
parties, the legal description of the Leased Premises, the term of the Lease and such other
information as the parties shall mutually agree upon.
ARTICLE III
Option to Purchase
3.1 After the third year of this Lease, until the end of the third term (fifteenth year) of the
Lease (the “Option Period”), provided the Lease is still in effect and Lessee is not in default in the
keeping and performing of any of the conditions and covenants of this Lease, Lessee shall have
the option to purchase the Leased Premises at the price of $700,000. Lessee can exercise the
option by providing written notice to the Lessor (“Notice of Exercise.”)

Leased Premises, and is in good standing with the State of Colorado. Lessor will notify Lessee
within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Notice of Exercise of the City’s agreement to convey the
Leased Premises, and the parties shall enter into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale in a form
reasonably acceptable to both parties.
3.3 The purchase price of the Leased Premises during the term of the Option is fixed
and will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the appraised value resulting from
improvements or other changes made to the Leased Premises during the term of the Lease by
either party, including appreciation, inflation, or any other factors. The Lessor agrees that it shall
convey the Leased Premises to the Lessee free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except
non-monetary encumbrances of record as of the date of execution of this Lease Agreement. The

States as the same is then by law constituted. If Lessor agrees to an extension of time for the

payment of any installment of rent or accepts any money other than of the kind herein specified,
that will not be a waiver of Lessor's right to insist on having all other payments of rent made in
the manner and at the time herein specified.

are below-market, Lessee’s use of the Leased Premises serves a bona fide public purpose

benefits a significant segment of the citizens of Fort Collins by providing transitional
housing for families experiencing homelessness to stabilize their lives;

c) The financial support provided by the Lessor through the below-market rent will be
leveraged with other funding or assistance;
d) This Lease will not result in any direct financial benefit to any private person or entity,
except to the extent such benefit is only an incidental consequence and is not substantial
relative to the public purpose being served; and
e) Leasing the Leased Premises for less than fair market rent will not interfere with any of
Lessor's current projects or work programs, hinder workload schedules, or divert
resources needed for Lessor's primary functions or responsibilities.

respect to the payment of real and personal property taxes, tenant insurance and the Lessee's
obligations with respect to the payment of utilities and all maintenance of the Leased Premises.

responsible for payment of the real property taxes and assessments, if any, that may be imposed
upon the Leased Premises.
10.2 The Lessee must pay all sales and use taxes that may be imposed as the result of
the business conducted on the Leased Premises and all personal property taxes assessed
against personal property situated thereon during the term of this Lease.

rights hereunder regarding such default.

or charge upon or against the Leased Premises or any part thereof or the improvements at any
time situated thereon so long as the Lessee, in good faith and with due diligence, contests the
same or the validity thereof by appropriate legal proceedings that have the effect of preventing
the collection of the tax, assessment, tax lien or other imposition or charge so contested.
However, pending any such legal proceedings, the Lessee must give the Lessor such reasonable
security as may be demanded by the Lessor to insure payment of the amount of the tax,
assessment, tax lien or other imposition or charge and all interest and penalties thereon.
ARTICLE XI
Insurance
11.1 The Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, must procure, pay for and keep in full
7
force and effect a policy of commercial general liability insurance covering the Leased Premises
and the improvements thereon, insuring the Lessee in an amount not less than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) covering bodily injury, including death to persons, personal injury and
property damage liability arising out of a single occurrence. Such coverage must include, without
limitation, legal liability of the insureds for property damage, bodily injuries and deaths of
persons in connection with the operation, maintenance or use of the Leased Premises (including
acts or omissions of the Lessee).
11.2 All policies of insurance carried by the Lessee must name the Lessee as insured and
name the Lessor as an additional insured. The policy or policies must contain a provision that the
policy or policies cannot be canceled or materially altered either by the insureds or the insurance
company until thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof is given to the Lessee and the Lessor.
Upon issuance or renewal of any such insurance policy, the Lessee must provide the Lessor with
a certificate of insurance showing evidence of coverage that names the City of Fort Collins as
additional insured. Any such policies must contain waivers of subrogation and waivers of any
defense based on invalidity arising from any act or neglect of any assignees or sub lessees of
the Lessee.
11.3 Any insurance policy purchased by the Lessee must be written by an insurance carrier
which has a current rating by Best’s Insurance Reports of "A" (excellent) or better and a financial
rating of “A” or better or such equivalent classification as may hereinafter be required customarily
for properties similarly situated and approved by the Lessor and the insurance carrier must be
authorized by law to do business in the State of Colorado. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Lessee's obligation to carry insurance as provided herein may be
brought within the coverage of a "blanket" policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained
by the Lessee, so long as such policy or policies segregate the amount of coverage applicable to
the Leased Premises. If the Lessee fails to procure, maintain and/or pay for at the times and for
the duration specified herein any insurance required by this Lease, or fails to carry insurance
required by law or governmental regulation, the Lessor may (but without obligation to do so) at
any time or from time to time and without notice, procure such insurance and pay the premiums
therefore. In such event, the Lessee must repay the Lessor all sums so paid by the Lessor,
together with interest thereon, at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, and any costs or
expenses incurred by the Lessor in connection therewith, within ten (10) days following the
Lessor's written demand to the Lessee for such payment.
ARTICLE XII
Utilities
12.1 The Lessee must pay all charges for gas, electricity, water, sewer, light and power,
janitorial services, telephone and other communication services used, rendered or supplied upon
or in the Leased Premises.
ARTICLE XIII
Signs
13.1 The Lessee must not affix, erect or maintain on the Leased Premises any sign or
8
advertisement without first obtaining the Lessor's approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Lessee is responsible for all costs of erection and maintenance of
such sign or advertisement.
ARTICLE XIV
Subletting and Assignment
14.1 Except for housing clients of Lessee’s program, the Lessee must not assign this
Lease any interest or any part thereof, any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, nor mortgage or
hypothecate the leasehold without the prior written consent of the Lessor, which consent will not
be unreasonably withheld. Lessor's consent to one assignment or hypothecation is not a
consent to any subsequent assignment or hypothecation; and, unless Lessee has obtained
Lessor's written consent, any assignment or transfer or attempted assignment or transfer of this
lease or any interest therein or hypothecation either by the voluntary or involuntary act of the
Lessee or by operation of law or otherwise, may, at the option of the Lessor, terminate this
Lease; and any such purported assignment or transfer without such consent will be null and
void. The Lessor’s consent to any such assignment does not relieve the Lessee from any
obligation under this Lease unless the Lessor expressly agrees in writing to relieve the Lessee
from such obligation.
14.2 If Lessee assigns this Lease or if the Leased Premises or any part thereof is sublet
or occupied by anyone other than the Lessee or the Lessee’s clients, the Lessor may collect rent
from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and employ the net amount collected to the rent herein
reserved. No such collection will release the Lessee from the complete performance of Lessee's
obligations under this Lease.
ARTICLE XV
Mechanic's Liens
15.1 The Lessee agrees to pay or cause to be paid promptly all bills and charges for
material, labor or otherwise in connection with or arising out of any alterations, additions or
changes made by the Lessee or its agents or subtenants to the Leased Premises; and the
Lessee agrees to hold the Lessor free and harmless against all liens and claims of liens for such
labor and materials, or either of them, filed against the Leased Premises or any part thereof and
from and against any expense and liability in connection therewith. The Lessee further agrees to
discharge (either by payment or by filing the necessary bond or otherwise) any mechanic's,
materialman's or other liens against the Leased Premises arising out of any payment due or
alleged to be due for any work, labor, services, materials or supplies claimed to have been
furnished at the Lessee's request in, on or about the Leased Premises and to indemnify the
Lessor against any lien or claim of lien attached to or upon the Leased Premises or any part
thereof by reason of any act or omission on the Lessee's part. The Lessee has, however, the
right to contest any mechanic's liens or claims filed against the Leased Premises, provided the
Lessee diligently prosecutes any such contest and at all times effectively stays or prevents any
sale of the Leased Premises under execution or otherwise, and pays or otherwise satisfies any
final judgment adjudging or enforcing such contested lien and thereafter procures record
satisfaction or release thereof. The Lessee also agrees to defend any such contest on behalf of
9
Lessor, at the Lessee’s cost and expense.
ARTICLE XVI
Condemnation
16.1 If, as a result of any exercise of the power of eminent domain (hereinafter referred
to as "proceedings"), any of the following happen:
(a) the title to the whole or substantially all of the Leased Premises is taken;
(b) the Leased Premises are deprived of adequate ingress or egress to or from all public
streets and highways abutting the Leased Premises; or
(c) all or substantially all of the parking area outside of the Leased Premises is taken;
and the Lessee cannot reasonably operate in the remainder of the Leased Premises the
business being conducted on the Leased Premises at the time of such taking, then this Lease will
terminate as of the date of such taking pursuant to such proceedings. For the purpose of
construing the provisions of this Article, "proceedings" shall include any negotiated settlement of
any matter involving a condemnation and a “taking" shall be deemed to occur when title to the
Leased Premises or possession thereof is acquired by a governmental authority, whichever first
occurs.
16.2 If, during the term of this Lease, title to less than the whole or title to less than
substantially all of the Leased Premises is taken in any such proceedings and the Lessee can
reasonably operate in the remainder of the Leased Premises the business being conducted on
the Leased Premises at the time of such taking, this Lease will not terminate.
16.3 All damages awarded for any taking described in this Article are the property of the
Lessor, except to the extent that any amount thereof is specifically attributable to the Lessee's
trade fixtures and to the extent that the Lessor is permitted by law to recover any damages it may
sustain as the result of such taking.
ARTICLE XVII
Total or Partial Destruction
17.1 If, during the term of this Lease, the Leased Premises or any part thereof is
destroyed or so damaged by fire or other casualty as to become untenantable, then, at Lessor's
option, the term hereby created will cease; this Lease will become null and void from the date of
such damage or destruction; and the Lessee must immediately surrender the Leased Premises
and its interest therein to the Lessor. The Lessee must pay rent within said term only to the time
of such surrender, provided, however, that the Lessor exercises such option to so terminate this
Lease by notice in writing delivered to the Lessee within thirty (30) days after such damage or
destruction. If the Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease, this Lease will continue in full
force and effect, and the Lessor will repair the Leased Premises with all reasonable speed,
placing the same in as good a condition as it was at the time of the damage or destruction and
10
for that purpose may enter upon the Leased Premises; and rent will abate in proportion to the
extent and duration of the untenantability. In either event, the Lessee must remove all rubbish,
debris, merchandise, furniture, furnishings, equipment and other items of its personal property
within five (5) days after request by the Lessor. If the Leased Premises are only slightly injured
by fire or the elements so as to not render the same untenantable and unfit for occupancy, then
the Lessor shall determine within thirty (30) days whether Lessor will make repairs. If so, Lessor
will repair the same with all reasonable speed and, in that case, rent will not abate. If Lessor
decides not to make repairs, Lessor will notify Lessee and give Lessee the option of making
repairs at Lessee’s expense or terminating the Lease. Lessee will notify Lessor within sixty (60)
days of Lessor’s notice whether Lessee wishes to make repairs or terminate the Lease. Lessee
is not entitled to any compensation from or claim against the Lessor for any inconvenience or
annoyance arising from the necessity of repairing any portion of the Leased Premises, however
the necessity may occur.
ARTICLE XVIII
Holding Over
18.1 Any holding over after the expiration of the term of this Lease Agreement, with the
consent of the Lessor, will be construed as a tenancy from month to month on the same terms
and conditions herein specified and at the same rental provided for herein.
ARTICLE XIX
Default of Lessee
19.1 If any one or more of the following events (herein referred to as "an event of
default”) happens:
(a) The Lessee defaults in the due and punctual payment for the rent or any other
amounts required to be paid hereunder and such default continues for three (3) days after
the receipt of written notice from the Lessor;
(b) The Lessee neglects or fails to perform or observe any of Lessee's other obligations
hereunder, and the Lessee fails to remedy the same within fifteen (15) days after the
Lessee receives written notice from the Lessor specifying such neglect or failure (or
Lessee fails to begin such cure within said fifteen (15) days and proceed with due
diligence to complete said cure when the default is of such nature that it cannot be cured
within said fifteen (15) day period); or
(c) The Lessee (i) is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) files a petition in bankruptcy for
reorganization or for the adoption of an arrangement under the Bankruptcy Act (as now or
in the future amended) or (iii) makes an assignment of its property for the benefit of its
creditors.
Then, and in any one or more such events, the Lessor has the right, at its election and while such
event of default continues, to give the Lessee written notice of its intention to terminate this
Lease on the date of such given notice or any later date specified therein; and on such specified
11
date, the Lessee's right to possession of the Leased Premises will cease; and this Lease will be
terminated.
19.2 If the Lessor must commence any action or proceeding to enforce any obligation of
the Lessee under this Lease, the Lessor is entitled to a reimbursement of all costs and expenses
incurred in said matter, including reasonable attorney's fees.
19.3 The Lessor reserves the right to make any payments or perform any action required
hereunder by the Lessee (but is not required to do so); and all amounts expended by the Lessor,
together with interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, must be paid by the Lessee
within 30 days following notification of such expenditures.
ARTICLE XX
Interest and Late Charges
20.1 Any amount due to the Lessor from the Lessee under this Lease Agreement not
paid when due will bear interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the due date
until paid. Payments of such interest will not excuse or cure any default by the Lessee under this
Lease Agreement. In addition, if the Lessee fails to pay any payment when due and such failure
continue for a period of ten (10) days following the due date, the Lessee must pay to the Lessor a
monthly collection service charge of five percent (5%) of the late payment amount, which is due
and payable immediately.
ARTICLE XXI
Attorneys’ Fees
21.1 The Lessee will pay and indemnify the Lessor against all legal costs and charges,
including legal costs and attorneys’ fees, lawfully and reasonably incurred in obtaining
possession of the Leased Premises after default of the Lessee, or incurred after the Lessee
surrenders possession upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, or incurred in
enforcing any covenant of the Lessee herein contained or any right granted to the Lessor.
ARTICLE XXII
Lessee to Save Lessor Harmless
22.1 The Lessee will indemnify, release, and hold the Lessor harmless from all claims,
demands, judgments, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising out of any accident
or occurrence causing injury to any person or property whomsoever or whatsoever due directly or
indirectly to the condition of the Leased Premises, or the use or neglect of the Leased Premises
by the Lessee, its agents, employees and business invitees or any person or persons (and their
agents, employees, and business invitees) holding under the Lessee, unless such accident or
occurrence results from any tortious misconduct or negligent act or omission on the part of the
Lessor, its agents and employees.
22.2 The Lessee will further indemnify, release and hold harmless the Lessor from any
12
damages and all penalties arising out of any failure of the Lessee, in any respect, to comply with
all of the requirements and provisions of this Lease Agreement. The Lessee covenants that the
Lessee will keep and save the Lessor and the Lessor's interest in and to the Leased Premises
forever harmless from any penalty, damage or charge imposed by any violation of any laws,
whether occasioned by an act of neglect of the Lessee, or by another or others in the Leased
Premises holding under or through the Lessee.
ARTICLE XXIII
Hazardous Material
23.1 As used herein, the term "Hazardous Material" means any hazardous or toxic
substance, material or waste which is or becomes regulated by any local governmental authority,
the state of Colorado or the United States Government. The term "hazardous material" includes,
without limitation, any material or substance that is: (i) defined as a "hazardous substance” under
appropriate state law provisions; (ii) petroleum; (iii) asbestos; (iv) designated as “hazardous
substance" pursuant to section 311 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. section
1321); (v) defined as "hazardous waste” pursuant to section 1004 of the Federal Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. Section 6903); (vi) defined as a “hazardous
substance" pursuant to Section 101 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Section 9601); or (vii) defined as a “regulated
substance” pursuant to Subchapter IX, Solid Waste Disposal Act (Regulation of Underground
Storage Tanks) (42 U.S.C. Section 6991.
23.2 Excepting commonly used products stored in an appropriate location within
approved containers, including, by way of example and not of limitation, cleaning products,
gasoline and motor oil, the Lessee must not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be
brought upon, kept or used in or about the Leased Premises by the Lessee, its agents,
employees, contractors or invitees, without the prior written consent of the Lessor (which Lessor
will not unreasonably withhold as long as the Lessee demonstrates to the Lessor's reasonable
satisfaction that such hazardous material is necessary or useful to the Lessee's business and will
be used, kept and stored in a manner which complies with all laws regulating any such
Hazardous Material). If the Lessee breaches the obligation stated in the preceding sentence, or if
the presence of Hazardous Material on the Leased Premises caused or permitted by the Lessee
results in contamination of the Leased Premises or if contamination of the Leased Premises by
Hazardous Material otherwise occurs for which the Lessee is legally liable to the Lessor for
damage resulting therefrom, then the Lessee will release, indemnify, defend and hold the Lessor
harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or
losses (including, without limitation, diminution value of the Leased Premises, damages for the
loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Leased Premises,
damages, arising from adverse impact or marketing of space, and sums paid in settlement of
claims, attorneys' fees, consultant fees and expert fees) which arise during or after the Lease
term as a result of such contamination. This indemnification of the Lessor by the Lessee
includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions
or any clean up, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local
governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or
groundwater on or under the Leased Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of
any Hazardous Material on the Leased Premises caused or permitted by the Lessee results in
13
any contamination of the Leased Premises, the Lessee must promptly take all actions at its sole
expense as are necessary to return the Leased Premises to the condition existing prior to the
introduction of any such Hazardous Material to the Leased Premises; provided that the Lessee
first obtains Lessor’s approval of such action, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld
so long as such action would not potentially have any material adverse affect on the Leased
Premises.
ARTICLE XXIV

ARTICLE XXVI
Legal Compliance, Discrimination
26.1 The Lessee must comply with all Federal, State and local laws, including, to the
extent applicable, the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair
Housing Act (FHA). The Lessor does not represent that the Leased Premises meet the
requirements of the ADA or FHA for the purposes of Lessee's intended use of the Leased
Premises. Any improvements required to bring the Leased Premises into compliance with the
ADA or FHA for the purposes of Lessee’s intended use are Lessee's sole responsibility, and
Lessee will indemnify and defend the Lessor against any claims brought under the ADA or FHA
regarding the Leased Premises.
14
26.2 The Lessee will not discriminate against any person applying for services to be
provided on the Leased Premises on the basis of religion and will not limit such services or give
preference to persons on the basis of religion. The Lessee will not require religious instruction or
counseling, conduct no religious worship or services, engage in no religious proselytizing, and
exert no other religious influence in the provision of such services on the Leased Premises.
26.3 In providing services and other benefits on the Leased Premises the Lessee shall
not discriminate on the grounds of any protected class recognized under federal, state or local
law.
ARTICLE XXVII
Time of the Essence
27.1 Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each and every provision hereof.
ARTICLE XXVIII
Lessor's Right of Entry
28.1 Lessor reserves the right at all reasonable times and with reasonable notice of not
less than forty-eight (48) hours, and at all times during emergencies, for Lessor or Lessor's
agents to enter the Leased Premises for the purpose of inspecting and examining the same, or to
show the same to prospective purchasers or tenants, or to make such repairs, alterations,
improvements or additions as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that
such rights shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) such entry, regardless of the purpose,
shall not unreasonably interfere with the Lessee’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises;
(ii) any such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Leased Premises shall not
unreasonably interfere with the Lessee’s use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises; and (iii) the
Lessor agrees to in good faith work with the Lessee to minimize any impacts likely to result from
construction of any repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Leased Premises.
During the ninety days prior to the expiration of the term of this Lease or any renewal term,
Lessor may exhibit the Leased Premises with prior notice and so as not to interfere with regular
use of the space, to prospective tenants or purchasers and place upon the Leased Premises, the
usual notice advertising the Leased Premises for sale or lease, as the case may be, which
notices Lessee shall permit to remain thereon without molestation.
28.2 In the event of an emergency, in order to protect or minimize the risk of harm to
life or property if Lessee shall not be personally present to open and permit an entry into the
Leased Premises, or at any time when for any reason an entry therein shall be necessary or
permissible, Lessor or Lessor's agents may enter the same by a master key or may forcibly enter
the same, without rendering Lessor or such agents liable therefore, and without in any manner
affecting the obligations and covenants of this Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall
be deemed or construed to impose upon Lessor any obligation, responsibility, or liability
whatsoever for the care, maintenance or repair of the building or any part thereof, except as
otherwise herein specifically provided.

parties hereto with respect to their rights and obligations in and to the Leased Premises. There

administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
30.5 No waivers by either party hereto of any one or more of the terms, covenants,
conditions and agreements of this Lease Agreement shall be deemed, to imply or constitute a
waiver of any succeeding or other breach hereunder; and the failure of either party hereto to
insist upon strict performance of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements herein
contained or any of them do not constitute and should not be considered as a waiver or
relinquishment of the a party’s rights thereafter to enforce any such default or term, condition,
covenant or agreement; and the same will continue in full force and effect.
30.6 The remedies of the Lessor under this Lease are cumulative, and no one of them

employee of the Lessor or the Lessor's agent has any power to accept the keys to the Leased

Leased Premises.

term or otherwise, agrees to peaceably surrender to the Lessor the Leased Premises, including
the alterations, additions, improvements, changes and fixtures other than the Lessee's movable
