The foregoing does not imply that “THE LESSOR” authorizes any special sublease agreement, either in full or in part, of the leased property. Therefore, the special sublease agreement is not allowed, subject to the provisions of section 2361 of the Civil Code currently in force in the State.

Delivery of the pertinent tax receipt will be a condition for payment of subsequent rents.

Electricity, gas, telephone and other utilities that “THE LESSEE” engages or decides to engage will be at its expense and “THE LESSEE” promises to deliver to “THE LESSOR” on completion of the effective term of this agreement a certificate of absence of debt for all the utilities that it engages.

 

SIX. “THE LESSOR” authorizes the other party to introduce all the necessary improvements so that the property can be used to develop its corporate purpose, as set forth hereunder and provided that the current structure and construction are not impaired.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all the necessary improvements, whether functional or ornamental, that “THE LESSEE” introduces in the property will remain incorporated for its benefit and will not entitle the latter to claim any compensation or to withhold rents from “THE LESSOR” on account of such improvements at the end of the effective term of the agreement, unless written consent has been given to make such improvements.

To ensure the performance of its obligations, “THE LESSEE” will pay a deposit in an amount equivalent to two monthly rents, which will be returned at the end of the term of the agreement once it has been checked that the property is surrendered in the same conditions in which it was received, excluding regular tear and wear, and provided that no amounts are owed for payment of utility bills as stated in clause five of this agreement. Along with the deposit, a month’s rent must be paid in advance.

 

TEN. Nonperformance of any obligation established hereunder will lead to termination, without entailing any liability for the party that has performed its obligations. Failure to pay a single month’s rent will also be grounds for termination of this agreement.
