<br />Section 7.5 Use in Compliance with Laws. Lessee shall not use or occupy the
<br />Leasehold Property and Improvements or knowingly permit the Leasehold Property and
<br />Improvements to be used or occupied contrary to any statute, rule, order, ordinance, requirement
<br />or regulation applicable to the Leasehold Property, or in any manner which would violate any
<br />certificate of occupancy affecting the same, or which would cause structural injury to the
<br />Improvements or cause the value or usefulness of the Improvements and Leasehold Property or
<br />any part thereof to substantially diminish (reasonable wear and tear excepted), or which would
<br />constitute a public or private nuisance or waste. Lessee shall promptly upon discovery of any such
<br />use take all necessary steps to compel the discontinuance of such use.
<br />Section 7.6 Permits. Lessee shall maintain in force and effect all permits, licenses and
<br />similar authorizations to use the Leasehold Property and Improvements for the Permitted Use
<br />required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the use of the Leasehold Property.
<br />Lessee’s failure to maintain such permits, licenses and similar authorizations shall not relieve
<br />Lessee from the performance of its obligations and covenants hereunder (except obligations and
<br />covenants as may be prohibited by law), nor from the obligations to pay rent or Additional Rent,
<br />as set forth herein. Lessee shall, at the City’s request, join with the City in executing,
<br />acknowledging and delivering any and all petitions, consents, subordinations, plats, or easement
<br />deeds that may be required for the installation of any utilities, public improvements, roads, water
<br />lines, sewer lines, storm drainage facilities, subdivision, rezoning, variance, special use, platting
<br />or other similar development of the Leasehold Property, which do not affect Lessee’s use of the
<br />Leasehold Property during the term of this Lease Agreement.
<br />Section 7.7 Compliance with Law. Lessee, at its sole expense, shall promptly comply
<br />with all laws, ordinances, and requirements or federal, state, county, and municipal authorities and
<br />with any lawful order or direction of any public officer relating to the use and occupation of the
<br />Leasehold Property and Improvements during the Term or any Renewal Term. Nothing contained
<br />in this Lease Agreement, however, shall prohibit Lessee from appealing from or contesting the
<br />validity or legality of such laws, ordinances, requirements, orders or directions and,
<br />notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, Lessee shall not be deemed to be in
<br />default under this Lease Agreement so long as Lessee diligently prosecutes such appeal or contest.
<br />Section 7.8 Environmental Matters. The City knows of no wells, individual sewage
<br />treatment systems, or above ground or underground tanks located on the Leasehold Property; and
<br />the City knows of no Hazardous Substances that have been generated, released, treated, stored,
<br />released or disposed of, or otherwise placed, deposited in or located on the Leasehold Property.
<br />Lessee shall make its own inspection of the Leasehold Property for Hazardous Substances and
<br />environmental matters, at its own cost and expense, and is not relying on any reports or information
<br />regarding environmental matters provided by the City. Lessee shall not, directly or indirectly,
<br />cause or permit the generation, treatment, storage, release, disposal, placement deposit or location
<br />on the Leasehold Property of any Hazardous Substances, or directly or indirectly undertake or
<br />permit activity on the Leasehold Property that would cause or contribute to (i) the Leasehold
<br />Property becoming a treatment, storage, or disposal facility within the meaning of, or otherwise
<br />bring the Leasehold Property within the ambit of, RCRA or any similar federal or state law,
<br />regulation or local ordinance, (ii) a release or threatened release or discharge of Hazardous
<br />Substances into any water source or system, (iii) the dredging or filling of any waters, or otherwise
<br />cause or permit, by act or omission of Lessee, its employees, agents, contractors, licensees,
