Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lease shall be contingent upon; (i) the successful approval of Tenant and the transfer and approval by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) and any other relevant regulatory body, of a retail and or medical marijuana store license housed at the Property; and (ii) inspection of the Property and Leased Premises by Tenant and/or its agents, within ten (10) business days of the Lease Commencement Date. The purpose of the inspection is to solely identify any material defects with the Property. A material defect shall be defined as a structural integrity issue with the Property as reasonably determined by Tenant in consultation with the inspector(s). Such inspection shall be professionally undertaken and verified in writing. All such approvals are referred to herein collectively as the “Approval,” and the successful approval or denial of the licenses by all the applicable regulatory bodies shall be referred to as the “Approval Date.”
If on the Approval Date, the license(s) that are pending transfer to the Tenant is denied through no fault of Tenant, then Tenant may terminate this agreement by delivery of written notice to Landlord, in which event, except as set forth bellow, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to the other hereunder. If Tenant does not deliver written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate this Lease by fourteen (14) days after the Approval Date, then (i) the conditions of this Section 1 shall be deemed to have been fully satisfied, (ii) Tenant may not thereafter terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 1, and (iii) Tenant shall be deemed to have delivered the waiver notice to Landlord as of the Fifteenth (15) day after the Approval Date. In the event of a material defect in condition (ii) above, Tenant shall have the ability to immediately terminate the Lease, by written notice to Landlord. Upon written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have no liability whatsoever under this Lease or otherwise, and this Lease shall be null and void. If Tenant does not terminate the Lease due to a material defect in condition (ii) within ten (10) business days of the Lease Commencement Date, then Tenant shall waive that right and that condition shall be deemed to have been fully satisfied.
No fault of Tenant shall mean, Tenant is denied all license transfers, solely and completely, by the decision of a regulatory body without any fault of Tenant, Tenant’s application, or conduct.
