condition so that the lights, front and rear doors, HVAC, plumbing and water

deliver possession of the Leased Premises by the commencement date of this
Lease, Landlord shall not be liable nor responsible for any claims, damages or
liabilities in connection therewith or by reason thereof, and this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be

be responsible to complete those improvements to the Leased Premises, the
Common Area and the Building which are specified on Exhibit B attached hereto.

written agreement to the contrary, to extend or renew this Lease, and no tenancy
of any duration shall be created thereby.
30. EXECUTION OF LEASE BY LANDLORD AND TENANT'S EXECUTION. The
submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute
an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Leased Premises, and
this document becomes effective and binding only upon the execution and
delivery hereof by both Landlord and Tenant. All negotiations, considerations,
