In the event that Tesla terminates the Lease pursuant to this Section 2, Tesla shall deliver written notice of termination to City and this Lease shall be of no further force or effect. 3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, City’s normal responsibility to maintain the common areas of the Property shall also apply to the paved portions of the Premises, such as for trash removal, snow removal, repaving and restriping, and City agrees to coordinate with Tesla on maintenance that will prevent the use of the Supercharger Station.

Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, if an Event of Default by the other Party has occurred and is continuing, the non-defaulting Party may: (a) terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days advance written notice; or (b) exercise any other remedy available at law or in equity. 13.

Tesla shall include City as additional insured on its commercial general liability and, if applicable to meet limit requirements, umbrella and/or excess insurance policies, with respect to liability for services provided under this Lease.

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it has read and understood this Lease, and that it represents the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior agreements, communications, or understandings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter herein. 23. Assignment. Tesla shall not assign this Lease nor sublicense the Premises without the prior written consent of City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the foregoing prohibition shall not limit Tesla’s ability to transfer this Agreement to a Tesla Affiliate. 24. Miscellaneous. This Lease may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one agreement. Electronic signatures and other signed copies transmitted electronically in PDF or similar format shall be treated as originals. If any provision of this Lease is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected, and each provision shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any outstanding payment obligations and the terms of Section 17 shall survive termination of this Lease. This Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
