Page 3
sonal property and trade fixtures of the Lessee in and about the Leased Premises, provid-
ed, however, that if any such taxes of Lessee are levied against Lessor or Lessor's proper-
ty or if the assessed value of Lessor's property is increased by the inclusion of the value

burse Lessor for all taxes actually paid on Lessee's behalf.
B. Real Property Taxes: Lessor agrees to pay all ad valorem taxes, assessments and
governmental charges of any kind and nature whatsoever (hereinafter collectively re-

adjusting the Taxes. In the event that such taxes are billed directly to Lessor, Lessor shall
provide written notice of such billing to Lessee and Lessee shall pay Lessor all amounts
of taxes owing within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of Lessor's written no-
tice.

sessments, or governmental charges required to be paid by Lessee here-
under, in addition to any other remedies provided herein, Lessor may, if

all remedies that are set out herein for the late payment of rents may also

ments, or governmental charges required to be paid by Lessee hereunder.

Lessee may, at its sole cost and expense, in its own name(s), dispute and
contest the Taxes for which Lessee is responsible by the terms herein by

due and owing and which are the responsibility of Lessee under the terms
of this Lease.

required in and to the Leased Premises. Such utility services shall include but not limited

the indemnification provision above, shall be solely liable for any and all damages
and/or injuries caused by such minor adults and/or children. Immediately upon de-
mand by Lessor, Lessee shall repair, at Lessee's sole cost, any and all damages caused to

observations of one or more of the covenants or conditions of this Lease or to exercise
any remedy, privilege, or option conferred by this Lease on or reserved to Lessor shall
not operate or be construed as a relinquishment or future waiver of the covenant or condi-
tion or the right to enforce it or to exercise that remedy, privilege, or option; that right
shall continue in full force and effect. The receipt by Lessor of rent or any other payment
or part of payment required to be made by the Lessee shall not act to waive any other ad-
ditional rent or payment then due. Even with the knowledge of the breach of any
covenant or condition of this Lease, receipt will not operate as or be deemed to be a
waiver of this breach, and no waiver by Lessor of any of the provisions of this Lease, or
any of Lessor's rights, remedies, privileges, or options under this Lease, will be deemed
to have been made unless made by Lessor in writing.

22. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Lease shall be held invalid or unenforceable
by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unen-
forceable any other provision hereof, but rather this entire Lease will be construed as if
not containing the particular invalid or unenforceable provision or provisions, and the
rights and obligation of the parties shall be construed and enforced in accordance there-
with. The parties acknowledge that if any provision of this Lease is determined to be in-
valid or unenforceable, it is the desire and intention of each that such provision be re-
formed and construed in such a manner that it will, to the maximum extent practicable,
give effect to the intent of this Lease and be deemed to be validated and enforceable.

modify or amend any legal defense available at law or in equity to Lessor nor to create

as a home rule city in the State of Texas, under the Constitution and the laws of the State

any other party, including but not limited to Lessee; therefore, all references of any kind,

not limited to Lessee, for any reason whatsoever are hereby deemed void and deleted.
