MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Colette Penne, Planning Office
RE: Arthur's Restaurant, Inc. - Expansion of a Conditional Use
DATE: June 22, 1982
There is a question as to whether or not the outdoor dining area at Arthur's
Restaurant was given approval as an expansion of the conditional use approval.
The area was included in the set of plans that were reviewed at the time of the
restaurant expansion. However, the minutes do not reflect that the outside
dining area was specifically granted approval. To be assured of this approval,
the applicant has chosen to have you review it at this time.
The area proposed for outside dining is the area to the west of the building and
in the front of the western portion of the restaurant. An emergency exit
exists there and tables would have to stop so that its use is not impaired.
The HPC has reviewed all of this as part of their review when considering the
joining of the two buildings. Their approval has been complied with by the
applicant with the exception that the fence to screen cars parked at the back
of the patio has not been completed.
Any requirements of the Environmental Health Department will be presented at
the meeting.
The Planning Office recommends approval of this request for expansion of a
conditional use in the 0- Office zone. We feel that outdoor dining activity,
to a reasonable amount, is a pleasant addition to Main Street, as is the
appearance of healthy businesses.
The recommended motion is:
"I move to approve the expansion of the operation of Arthur's Restaurant,
Inc. as a conditional use in the 0- Office zone for the purposes of outside
dining on the patio to the west of the restaurant from June 15 - September 15
each year with the following conditions:
1. That the Environmental Health Department approve the arrangement.
2. That the construction of the fence to screen the alley parking area
be completed."

As you well know, it is our position that Arthur's
does not need another approval in order to provide outdoor
dining. However, in view of the fact that a final deter-
mination on that issue cannot be made in time for us to give
adequate notice for the P & Z meeting June 22, 1982, to be on the
safe side, we would like to proceed formally as if such a review
was in fact required.
Accordingly, I am submitting herewith an application

Please accept this letter as an application for
approval of a conditional use expansion and /or modification
under Section 24- 3.3(c) of the Municipal Code for Arthur's
Chinese Restaurant. The specific request is to provide outdoor
dining in the patio area in front of,and to the east of.,the
building as depicted in the plans submitted herewith.
There will be a maximum seatinq capacity of 40.
The availability of the outdoor dining would, of course, be
dependent upon the weather conditions, but it is contemplated
that it would generally be between mid -June to mid - August.
For purposes of specificity, however, it is requested that formal
approval be for the period each year from June 15th through
September 15th.
As you know, outside dining has been available at
Arthur's for many years, even prior to its conversion to a
Chinese restaurant. That service was temporarily suspended
last summer season as a result of the renovation and expansion.
At the time of your prior approval,it was contemplated that
it would be restored as soon as practicable in the new location
now provided. The only difference between the prior service and
that proposed, is the change in location from the west and in
front, to the east and in front. The seating capacity will be the
same as that which previously existed for 40 people.
GARFIELD & HECHT
It is submitted that this request satisfies and complies
with all of the requisite criteria in that it:
(1) complies with all requirements imposed by the
Zoning Code; and
(2) is consistent with the objectives and purposes
of the Zoning Code and applicable zoning district;
and
(3) is designated to be compatible with surrounding
land uses and uses in the area.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Arthur's Restaurant - Outside Dining
Dear Collette:
As you know, Arthur's Restaurant wishes to provide outdoor
dining this summer in the area designated for it on the plans
which were submitted at the time approval was received for
expansion of the conditional use. It is my understanding that
this outdoor dining proposal was presented to and thoroughly
discussed by P &Z and incorporated in their approval. The actual
implementation of outdoor dining, however, was always scheduled
to be delayed until this summer. As a result of that delay there
is apparently some question in your office as to whether or not
the issue was previously discussed and approved.
If you would please check your file with specific reference
to sheets A -1 and A -6.3 of the plans I think you will agree that
approval has already been received.
I would also point out that this is not, in any event, a
modification, structural enlargement, or expansion in ground area
of an approved conditional use for the following reasons:
1. The outdoor dining was an integral part of the
restaurant for many years even prior to its conversion to a
Chinese restaurant.
2. The outdoor dining was considered by the P &Z and
incorporated, if not specifically, then certainly by clear
implication in the approval for expansion of the conditional use.
3. There would be no additional impact resulting from use
of the outside dining area since it will be offset by the
elimination of downstairs dining indoors while outdoor dining is
available.

Notwithstanding all of the above, if it is determined by the
Planning Office that this must go back to P &Z would you please
place this on the next P &Z agenda for June 22nd.
Time is of the essence since the summer season is almost
here and we would therefore very much appreciate your handling
this as expeditiously as possible.
Thank you for your cooperation.

jherein and the Lessee shall within seventy -two (72) hours
i

Leased Premises or Lessee that are not levied against similar
property or users. If ownership by the Lessor (City of Aspen)
removes the Leased Premises from the tax rolls the Lessee hereby
agrees to pay an amount equal to what the tax would be if the
Lessee continued to own the property. In the event the Leased
i
Premises are included in an improvement district as defined in
the Municipal Code of of the City of Aspen, Lessee shall pay such
assessments as may be levied upon the Leased Premises.
3.8. In the event that Lessee shall desire to
contest in good faith any tax, Lessee may file in Lessee's
'name or in the name of Lessor as may be required all such protests
or other instruments and institute ard, prosecute proceedings for
the purpose of such contest, but shall, if required by Lessor,
5

THIS RESTAURANT LEASE AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to
as this "Lease") dated this 1�� day of �� LU/� 1980, by and
between DAVID MOSS, whose address is P.O. Box 907, Aspen, Colorado
81612, (hereinafter referred to as "Lessor ") and ARTHUR'S RESTAURANT,
INC., a Colorado corporation, with the address of 132 West Main
Street, Aspen, Colorado 81611, (hereinafter referred to as "Lessee ").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Lessor has entered into a lease agreement with
the City of Aspen covering the real property described as Lots K,
L, M, N and the West one -half (W?) of O, Block 58, City and Townsite
of Aspen, Pitkin County, Colorado (hereinafter referred to as the
"Real Property "); and
WHEREAS, Lessor owns the improvements located on the Real
Property (hereinafter referred to as the "Premises "), with the
street address of 132 West Main Street, Aspen, Colorado; and
WHEREAS, Lessor is desirous of leasing the Premises to
Lessee subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, and
Lessee is desirous of leasing the Premises from Lessor subject to
said terms and conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE in consideration of the foregoing premises
and the covenants, terms and conditions herein contained, Lessor
and Lessee hereby agree as follows:
1. Term Lessor hereby leases the Premises to Lessee
and Lessee hereby agrees to lease the Premises from Lessor, for the
term of five (5) years to commence on May 15, 1981.
2. Rent Lessee shall pay Lessor on the fifteenth day
of each month during the term hereof an amount equal to the greater
of $3,000.00 or:
(1) Twenty percent (208) of the amount of the Gross
Sales of Lessee derived from Lessee's sales of liquor on the Premises.
Each such payment shall be accompanied by a statement
certified by Lessee showing in reasonable detail the computation of
Gross Sales. As used herein, the term "Gross Sales" shall mean the
total amount charged by Lessee in connection with any and all sales
of liquor made or rendered on, in, from, through, or in connection
with the Premises, whether or not such amounts shall be received in
cash or on credit or by property of other value, paid or unpaid,
collected or uncollected, less the amount of any sales or excise
tax imposed by any governmental entity which is both added to the
selling price and paid to the taxing entity by Lessee.
3. Lessee's Records and Books of Account For the
purpose of ascertaining the amounts payable to Lessor under this
Lease, Lessee agrees to prepare and keep for a period of not less
than two (2) years following the end of each calendar year adequate
records which shall show the daily receipts from all sales of
liquor on the Premises, by Lessee and any other persons conducting
any business on the Premises. Lessee shall record at the time of
sale all receipts from sales or other transactions whether for cash
or credit, in a cash register or registers having a cumulative
total which shall be sealed in a manner approved by Lessor and
which shall have such other features as Lessor may designate.
Lessee further agrees to keep for at least two (2) years following
the end of each calendar year all pertinent original sales records
or such other records as Lessor may agree to in writing. As used
herein, the phrase "pertinent original sales records" shall include:
(a) all cash register tapes; (b) such other sales records, if any,
which would normally be examined by an independent accountant
pursuant to accepted auditing standards in performing an audit of
Lessee's sales; and (c) copies of any and all sales tax returns and
use tax returns, if any, filed by Lessee with any governmental
authority. During the term of this Lease and any renewal thereof,
all of the records provided for hereunder shall be kept on the
Premises. Following the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, such record shall be kept at a location satisfactory to
Lessor.
Lessor shall at all times during the term hereof and for
a period of two (2) years following the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease have the right to examine all of Lessee's
records and books of account in order to verify Lessee's gross
sales made from or upon the Premises and Lessee's payment of govern-
mental taxes, assessments and charges.
2
rsF�.
Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of the result of
any audit of any sales or use tax returns by any governmental
agency, and shall submit to Lessor any written report covering any
such audit. If Lessee shall obtain an audit from an independent
account, Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor of the result of
any such audit with respect to Gross Sales, and shall submit to
Lessor a statement certified by such accountant wits respect to
Gross Sales on the Premises.
Lessor may also, at its option, cause to be made a complete
audit of Lessee's business affairs and records relating to the
Premises for the period covered by any statement to be submitted by
Lessee pursuant to this Lease. Such audit shall be made after at
least five (5) days' prior notice to Lessee. If such audit shall
disclose a liability for rental to the extent of three percent (3B)
or more, in excess of the rentals theretofore computed and paid by
Lessee for the period covered by the audit, then Lessee shall
promptly pay Lessor the cost of said audit in addition to the
deficiency, which deficiency shall be payable in any event. In
addition, upon the third occasion of such a liability to the extent
of three percent (3 %) or more, Lessor shall have the further remedy
of terminating this Lease upon fifteen (15) days' notice to Lessee.
Any information obtained by Lessor as a result of such audit shall
be held in strict confidence by Lessor; provided, however, that
Lessor may make such information available (on a confidential
basis) to any prospective lender to Lessor on or purchaser from
Lessor of the Premises or use such information in connection with
any dispute involving Lessor arising out of Lessee's occupancy of
the Premises.
4. Conduct of Business The Premises shall be occupied
and used by Lessee solely for the conduct of a restaurant business
and any sale of food and non -food goods and services related to or
connected with the conduct of a restaurant.
Throughout the term of this Lease, Lessee shall diligently
conduct and pursue the business of a restaurant without interruption
in the Premises during normal business hours for similar restaurants
in the area. Lessee's failure to so conduct such business for more
3
than fifteen (15) days in any year during the term hereof shall
constitute an Event of Default as defined in Section 6 hereof, and
shall entitle Lessor to any or all of the remedies provided in this
Lease upon the occurrence of any Event of Default in addition to
any other remedy available to Lessor; provided, however, that no
interruption of such business by reason of strikes, lockouts, fire
or other damage or similar causes beyond Lessee's reasonable control
shall be included within said aggregate fifteen (15) day period.
If Lessor shall terminate this Lease due to an Event of
Default as hereinafter defined, or if at any time during the term
of this Lease Lessee shall cease to conduct the business of a
restaurant in the Premises, then and in that event, the rent due
Lessor hereunder from and after the time of the breach causing such
termination and of such cessation of business, shall be deemed to
be an amount equal to the average monthly amount which shall have
accrued to Lessor during the eighteen (18) months immediately
preceding such termination or cessation of business; provided,
however, that if such termination or cessation shall occur within
the first eighteen (18) months of the term hereof, the rent due
Lessor thereafter shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the
average monthly amount which shall have accrued to Lessor from the
commencement of the term of this Lease.
5. Maintenance and Repair, Taxes Lessee shall, at its
sole cost and expense, maintain the Premises (including all
additions, alterations, substitutions and replacements thereto) in
good repair and appearance during the term of this Lease and Lessee
shall with reasonable promptness make all structural and nonstructural,
and ordinary and extraordinary repairs of every kind and nature
which may be required upon the Premises during the term of this
Lease. Lessee shall maintain all portions of the Premises and the
sidewalks, culverts and passageways within and adjoining the same
in a clear and orderly condition, free of dirt, rubbish, snow, ice
and unlawful obstructions. Lessee hereby waives all right to make
repairs at the expense of Lessor as may be provided now or hereafter,
under the laws of Colorado. Lessor shall have no obligation to
maintain or repair the Premises, but Lessor may do so at Lessee's
expense.
4
l
During the term of this Lease, Lessee shall pay, as they
become due and payable and before they become delinquent, all
taxes, assessments and other public charges of any kind and des-
cription levied or presently existing upon or now or hereafter
assessed against the Premises or upon any of the improvements
thereon, including those arising by reason of the occupancy, use or
possession of the Premises by Lessee (hereinafter collectively
referred to as "Taxes "); provided, however that with respect to
assessments levied for public improvements which may be paid in
installments, Lessee shall be obligated to pay only those install-
ments due during the term of this Lease, and Lessee shall not be
liable for the payment of Taxes of which Lessee neither has nor
should have knowledge until thirty (30) days from the day written
notice is given Lessee by Lessor of the nature and amount of the
hitherto unknown tax. In the event that Lessee shall desire to
contest in good faith any tax, Lessee may file in its name or in
the name of Lessor as may be required all such protests or other
instruments and institute and prosecute proceedings for the purpose
of such contest, but shall, if required by Lessor, furnish to
Lessor reasonable security against any loss by reason of such
contest. If at any time during the term of this Lease, under the
laws of the State of Colorado or any political subdivision thereof
in which the Leased Premises are situated, a new tax or excise on
rents is levied or assessed on rents from land and /or buildings,
Lessee shall pay and discharge such tax or excise on rents but only
to the extent of the amount thereof which is lawfully assessed or
imposed upon Lessor and which was so assessed or imposed as a
direct result of Lessor's ownership of the Premises or of this
Lease or of the rentals accruing under this Lease. Nothing herein
shall be construed to require Lessee to pay any estate, inheritance,
succession, income or similar tax of Lessor. Lessor hereby author-
izes and empowers Lessee to act as attorney -in -fact for Lessor, at
Lessee's sole expense, in the institution of proceedings to secure
a reduction in the real estate taxes assessed against the Premises
for each and any year or portion thereof included in the term of
this Lease.
5
Lessee shall permit Lessor and his agents to enter into
or upon the Premises or any part thereof at all reasonable times
and upon reasonable notice for the purpose of inspecting the same
or to make such repairs or alterations therein as may be necessary
for the safety and preservation thereof in the event Lessee fails
to do so; provided, however, that this provision shall not be
deemed to impose any obligations on Lessor to make any repairs or
alterations. Lessor's agents shall have the right to show the
Premises to persons wishing to purchase or lease the same. On and
after the sixth (6) month prior to the expiration of the term
hereby granted, Lessor or Lessor's agents shall have the right to
place "To Let" or "For Sale" notices on the front of the Premises
or any part thereof, and Lessee hereby agrees to permit the same to
remain thereon without hindrance or molestation.
6. Events of Default If at any time after the commence-
ment of the term of this Lease any of the events set forth below
(hereinafter referred to as "Events of Default ") occur, Lessor may
at his option terminate this Lease upon notice to Lessee as herein
specified whereupon this Lease shall terminate. Upon receipt of
such notice, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to Lessor.
(1) Lessee shall default in the observance or
performance of any covenant or provision of this Lease, other than
payment of rental, and such default continues for fifteen (15) days
after notice in writing of such default from Lessor.
(2) Lessee shall abandon the Premises
(3) Lessee shall be delinquent in any payment due
Lessor hereunder for more than ten (10) days.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessor shall
have the immediate right of re -entry and may remove all persons and
property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored
at Lessee's expense. In the event that Lessor takes possession
pursuant to the terms of this Lease or as otherwise provided by
law, Lessor may either terminate this Lease or relet the Premises,
or any portion thereof, for such term or terms (including terms
beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals as are
commercially reasonable. No such re -entry or taking possession of
9
the Premises by Lessor shall be construed as an election on his
part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention
be given to Lessee. Upon such reletting:
(1) Lessee shall be immediately liable to pay to
Lessor the amount, if any, by which the rent (up to but not beyond
the term of this Lease) computed in accordance with Section 2
hereof exceeds the rental obtained in such reletting for the period
of such reletting.
(2) All rents received by Lessor from such reletting
shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness, other
than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second, to the
payment of any and all reasonable costs and expenses of such re -entry
and reletting and of any alterations and repair; third, to the
payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder to the date of such relet-
ting, and the balance, if any, shall be held by Lessor and applied
in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable
hereunder.
In the event that Lessor at any time terminates this
Lease for any Event of Default, in addition to any other remedy
Lessor may have, Lessor may recover from Lessee all damages Lessor
may incur by reason of such default, including the reasonable cost
of recovering and repairing the Premises and improvements thereon
and the amount by which the total of all rent, taxes, insurance and
other charges which Lessee would have paid periodically during the
remainder of the term of this Lease exceeds the reasonable rental
value of the Premises and improvements thereon for the period
commencing at the date of termination hereof and ending on the date
set forth in Section 1 hereof.
7. Indemnification Lessee agrees at all times to
relieve,indemnify, protect and save harmless Lessor from any claims
and liability including reasonable expenses incurred in defending
against claims and liability, for death or injury to persons or
damage to property that may in whole or in part arise from or be
caused directly or indirectly by:
(1) Any dangerous, hazardous, unsafe or defective
condition of, or in or on the Premises, of any nature whatsoever
7
which may exist by reason of any act, omission or neglect of or by
any use or occupation of the Premises by Lessee, its agents, employees,
licensees, permitees or invitees.
(2) Any operation conducted upon or any use or
occupation of the Premises by Lessee, its agents, employees, licen-
sees, permitees or invitees under or pursuant to the provisions of
this Lease, or otherwise.
(3) Any act, omission or negligence of Lessee, its
agents, employees, licensees, permitees or invitees.
(4) Any failure of Lessee, its agents or employees,
to comply with any, applicable federal, state or municipal law,
ordinance, rule or regulation.

and maintain throughout the term of this Lease the insurance set
forth herein below, in amounts not less than those specified, with
companies of recognized standing which are authorized to do business
in Colorado naming Lessee and Lessor as insureds, as their interests
may appear:
(1) Public liability and property damage insurance
covering liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, causes of action,
suits, claims, demands and judgments in limits of not less than
$100,000 with respect to personal injury or death to any one person;

arising out of one accident; and not less than $100,000 for damage

endorsement covering on the Premises to at least eighty percent
(80 %) of their insurable value.
(3) Such employee compensation and liability insur-
ance as may be required under the laws of the State of Colorado;
and
(4) Such other insurance as may be required from
time to time under any federal, state, county or local law, ordinance
or regulation.
If at any time or from time to time during the term

M
in the area, Lessee shall, immediately upon receipt of written
request therefore from Lessor, increase said limits to such higher
customary amount or amounts.
Insurance claims may be adjusted by Lessee with the
approval of Lessor.
Each such insurance policy shall provide that it shall
not be cancelled without ten (10) days' prior written notice to
Lessor and Lessee.
The original policies or duplicates, or certificates or
binders evidencing all such insurance shall be delivered to Lessor
upon the execution of this Lease. At least thirty (30) days prior
to the expiration of each such policy, Lessee shall obtain and
deliver to Lessor a renewal thereof which complies with this Lease,
and in the event of Lessee's failure to do so, Lessor is authorized
to do so for Lessee's account with any and all costs thereof to be
charged to Lessee.
In the event any or all of the Premises shall be damaged
or destroyed by any cause whatsoever, Lessee shall, at its expense,
repair, replace or rebuild the same at least to their condition
immediately prior to such damage or destruction. Lessee shall
commence the work of repairing, replacing or rebuilding said improve-
ments within six (6)months from the date of the damage or des-
truction and shall proceed with due diligence to complete the same
in a workmanlike manner.
All insurance proceeds received as a result of such
damage or destruction shall be immediately available to and used by
Lessee for repairing, rebuilding or replacing such improvements.
In the event that such insurance proceeds are inadequate for such
repairs, rebuilding or replacement, Lessee shall pay the balance
thereof.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary,
if on the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty to
the extent of 50% or more of their value immediately preceding such
damage or destruction, any restoration thereof shall be at the sole
discretion of Lessee. If in this event, Lessee should elect not to
restore the Premises, all insurance proceeds shall be the property

avoidance or settlement of such condemnation proceedings, or threat
of condemnation proceedings (any of which is hereinafter referred
to as "the Taking "), and if the Taking shall render the remainder
of the Premises unsuitable for the use to which it was put prior to
the Taking, then at Lessee's option this Lease shall terminate.
Any condemnation award, sale price or amount received in
settlement with respect to the Premises, shall be the property of
Lessor.
In the event of the taking of the whole of the Premises,
this Lease shall terminate and all obligations of the parties

electricity, gas, sewer, telephone and other utility services

12. Cure If Lessee shall default in the performance of
any of its covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this

without any obligation to do so) perform the same for the account
and at the expense of Lessee, and the amount of any payment made or
other reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
incurred by Lessor for curing such default shall be payable by
Lessee to Lessor on demand.

all laws, rules, and regulations of all governmental agencies
10
having jurisdiction thereof and pay all permit and license fees
therefor. Lessor or Lessor's representatives shall have the right
to remove any such signs in the event that such removal becomes
necessary in order to make repairs, alterations, or improvements in
or about the Premises or any part thereof, provided, however, that
the same be removed and replaced at Lessor's expense when said

any such signs or make any repairs, alterations, or improvements in
or about said premises.

any applicable statute.
15. Notices Any notice to be given by either party to

16. Mechanic's Liens The obligation of Lessee to pay
rent hereunder and perform all of the other covenants and agreements

materialman's lien shall at any time be filed against the Premises
or any part thereof, or any encumbrance, charge, mortgage, conditional
bill of sale, title retention, or security agreement be filed
against the Premises or any part thereof, by reason of any work,
labor or services, or materials or equipment furnished to or for
Lessee within thirty (30) days after notice of the filing thereof
will cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, deposit,
bond, order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise. If
Lessee shall fail to cause such encumbrance, charge, etc., to be
discharged within the period aforesaid then, in addition to any
other right or remedy, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to,
discharge the same whether by paying the amount claimed to be due
or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding
proceedings, and in any such event, Lessor shall be entitled, if
11
Lessor so elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the
foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the
judgment in favor of the lienor with interest, costs, and allowances.
Any amounts so paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses incurred
by Lessor in connection therewith, together with interest thereon
at the rate of ten percent (10 %) per annum from the respective
dates of Lessor's making of the payment or incurring of the costs
and expense, shall constitute additional rent payable by Lessee
under this Lease and shall be paid to Lessor by Lessee on demand.
Nothing herein shall obligate Lessee to pay or discharge any lien
created by Lessor.
Nothing in this Lease contained shall be deemed or con-
strued in any way as constituting the consent or request of Lessor,
express or implied by inference or otherwise, to any contractor,
subcontractor, laborer, or materialman for the performance of any
labor or the furnishing of any materials for any specific improvement,
alteration to or repair of the Premises or any part thereof, nor as
giving Lessee any right, power, or authority to contract for or
permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any
materials that would give rise to the filing of any lien against
the Premises or any part thereof.
17. Compliance with Lease Lessee, during the term of
this Lease and of any renewal or extension thereof, agrees not to
use or keep or allow the Premises or any portion thereof to be used
or occupied for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any certifi-
cate of occupancy or certificate of compliance covering or affecting
the use of the Premises or any portion thereof, and will not suffer
any act to be done or any condition to exist on the Premises or any
portion thereof, or any article to be brought thereon, which may be
dangerous, unless safeguarded as required by law, or which may, in
law, constitute a nuisance, public or private, or which make void
or voidable any insurance then in force on the Premises.
18. Net Lease. This is a "net" lease and Lessor shall
not be required to provide any services or do any act in connection
with the Premises except as specifically provided herein, and the

diminuation or abatement and the fact that Lessee's use and occupancy
of the Premises may be disturbed or prevented from any cause whatsoever
except Lessor's willful actions shall not in any way suspend,
abate, or reduce the rental to be paid hereunder.

written agreement signed by Lessor and Lessee.
22. Waiver No waiver by either party of any default or
breach by the other of any of its obligations, agreements or covenants
hereunder shall be a waiver of any subsequent default or breach of
any obligation agreement or covenant, nor shall any forbearance by
