(e) If Tactical Relief shall fail to make any payment of Rent payable hereunder within five (5) days after receiving written notice from Marapharm that the same is past due, Tactical Relief shall pay Marapharm a late charge of 5% of the amount of such payment from the date due until the date paid; provided, however, that Marapharm shall not be required to provide notice of any delinquent Rent more than two (2) times per calendar year.In addition, if Tactical Relief fails to make any payment of Rent when due, Tactical Relief shall pay interest thereon from the date due until the date paid at a rate of 10% calculated on the basis of a 360-day year with twelve (12) months of 30 days each.

30. Saving Clause. If for any reason the term of this Lease, or any renewal thereof, or any substantive provision thereof, shall be found by an Applicable Court or other forum provided in Section 20 hereof to be unenforceable, illegal or violative of public policy, this Lease shall automatically be amended to conform to the applicable decision, and each party hereto expressly agrees to execute any amendment necessary to effectuate the goals and purposes of this Lease.

12 |
(a) whether or not this Lease is in default, and, to the extent that any default does then exist, the nature of any such default, including any event which may constitute an Event of Default upon the mere passage of time or notice or both;
(b) whether or not this Lease is in full force and effect and that this Lease has not been modified except as provided in an amendment or amendments identified therein, stating further that this Lease as so amended is in full force and effect;
(c) whether the date to which the Rent and other charges required to be paid under this Lease have been paid by or on behalf of Tactical Relief;
(d) that Marapharm has not conveyed, assigned, transferred or delegated any right or duty of Marapharm hereunder, nor has Marapharm encumbered or otherwise hypothecated Marapharm’s reversionary interest in and to the Premises or any rights hereunder except as may be set forth in such statement; and
(e) that any such statement may conclusively be relied upon by Marapharm or Tactical Relief by any title insurance company which issues a title insurance policy or other guaranty or endorsement relating to the existence and status of this Lease.
33. Eminent Domain.
(a) The term “total taking” as used in this Section 31 means the taking of the entire Premises under the power of eminent domain or a taking of so much of the Premises as to prevent or substantially impair the conduct of Tactical Relief’s business thereon.The term “partial taking” means the taking of a portion only of the Leased Premises that does not constitute a total taking, as above defined.
(b) If during the Lease term there shall be a total taking by public authority under the power of eminent domain, then the leasehold estate of Tactical Relief in and to the Premises shall cease and terminate as of the date the actual physical possession thereof shall be so taken.
(c) If during the Lease term there shall be a partial taking of the Premises, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises taken upon the date upon which actual possession of the portion of the Premises is taken pursuant to the eminent domain proceedings, but the Lease shall continue in force and effect as to the remainder of the Premises.The Rent payable by Tactical Relief for the balance of the Lease term shall be abated based on the proportion of the square footage of the Premises that is usable, in whole or in part, by Lessee or on any other reasonable basis, as determined by Marapharm in good faith.
(d) All compensation and damages awarded for the taking of the Premises or any portion thereof shall be allocated as follows:Marapharm shall be entitled to an award for the loss of its fee interest in the Premises, as encumbered by Tactical Relief’s leasehold interest, as created by this Lease, and Lessee shall be entitled to:(i) any award for diminution in value of its leasehold hereunder or for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease; and (ii) any award which may be made for the taking of or injury to Tactical Relief’s Improvements, or, on account of any cost or loss Tactical Relief may sustain in the removal of Tactical Relief’s fixtures, equipment and furnishings, or as a result of any alterations, modifications or repairs which may be reasonably required by Tactical Relief in order to place the remaining portion of the Premises not so condemned in a suitable condition for the continuance of Tactical Relief’s tenancy.
13 |
(e) If this Lease is terminated, in whole or in part, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 31, all Rent and other charges payable by Tactical Relief to Marapharm hereunder and attributable to the portion of the Premises taken, shall be paid up to the date upon which actual physical possession shall be taken by the condemning authority.
34. Limitation of Liability. If Marapharm sells, assigns, or otherwise transfers (whether by operation of law or otherwise) all or part of its interests in the Premises or this Lease, Marapharm shall be relieved of all obligations and liabilities under this Lease accruing after the effective date of such transfer; and the transferee shall be deemed to have assumed all of Marapharm’s obligations and liabilities under this Lease effective from and after the effective date of the transfer.Marapharm, its members, managers, officers, agents, and employees, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have no personal liability under or in connection with this Lease. Tactical Relief agrees that it shall look solely to Marapharm’s interest in the Premises and this Lease for the satisfaction of Tactical Relief’s remedies or to collect any judgment requiring payment of any money by Marapharm.
35. Survival of Obligations. All obligations of Tactical Relief hereunder, including Tactical Relief’s indemnification obligations, not fully performed as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term shall survive the expiration or earlier termination thereof.
36. Holding Over. Tactical Relief shall not use or remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration of sooner termination of this Lease. Any holding over, or continued use or occupancy by Tactical Relief after the termination of this Lease, without the written consent of Marapharm, shall not constitute a tenant-at-will interest on behalf of Tactical Relief, but Tactical Relief shall become a tenant-at-sufferance and liable for holdover rent in an amount equal to 150% times the monthly installment of Rent and all other expenses, obligations, and payments in effect immediately prior to such expiration or termination.There shall be no renewal whatsoever of this Lease by operation of law.
37. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Lease is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Lease or the transactions contemplated hereby.
38. Compliance with Law. Upon execution of this Lease, Tactical Relief acknowledges that Marapharm may execute a Notice of Nonresponsibility in substantially the same form attached hereto as Exhibit C, and may record the same within three (3) days of execution of this Lease pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Chapter 108.Tactical Relief further agrees that, at least ten (10) days prior to Tactical Relief entering into a contract with any prime contractor intending to perform alterations, and prior to the commencement of any work of improvement relating to the Premises, Tactical Relief shall comply with the requirements of NRS 108.2403 and NRS 108.2407 regarding posted security and shall notify Marapharm in writing of the name and address of any such prime contractor to enable Marapharm to properly serve the recorded Notice of Nonresponsibility upon the prime contractor pursuant to NRS 108.234.This Section serves as the notice required under NRS Chapter 108.234(3)(e).
