Nothing in the Lease shall be deemed or construed to constitute consent to or request to any party for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials for the improvement, alteration, or repairing of the Leased Premises; nor as giving Tenant the right or authority to contract for, authorize, or permit the performance of any labor, service, or the furnishings of any material that would permit the attaching of a valid Mechanic’s Lien.

 

9.      INDEMNIFICATION AND RELEASE

 

Regardless of Whether or not separate, several, joint, or concurrent liability may be imposed upon Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against all damages, claims, and liability arising from or connected with the Tenant’s control or use of the Leased Premises, including without limitation, any damage or injury to person or property. This indemnification shall not include any matter for which the Landlord is effectively protected against by insurance.

Landlord and Tenant do each hereby release the other from all liability for an accident, damage or injury caused to person or property, provided this release shall be effective only to the extent that the injured or damaged party is insured against such injury or

damage and only if this release shall not adversely affect the right of the injured or damaged party to recover under such insurance policy.

 

Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each other of and from any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against each other, their members, agents, officers and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Leased Premises and the improvements to the Leased Premises, or personal property (building contents) within the Leased Premises, by reason of fire, the elements or any other cause which is covered by the insurance on the Building, the Leased Premises and/or the contents therein, regardless of cause or origin, including the negligence of Landlord or Tenant, and their members, agents, officers and employees.  Because this paragraph will preclude the assignment of any claim mentioned in it by way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each party to this Lease agrees immediately to give to each insurance company which has issued to it policies of fire and extended coverage insurance, written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this paragraph, and to have the insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage by reason of the mutual waivers contained in this paragraph.
