Lessee shall indemnify and save harmless Lessor from any and all liabilities, penalties, damages, expenses, judgments, attorneys’ fees and other losses by reason of injury, or claim of injury, to any person or property, of any nature, and howsoever caused, arising out of the use, occupancy or control of the Premises, or the streets, driveways, parking areas, sidewalks and alleys adjacent thereto, by Lessee at any time during the demised term, whether or not caused by negligence of the Lessee, its agents, servants, employees, invitees or customers, unless the same be caused by the fault or negligence of Lessor. Lessee shall indemnify and save Lessor harmless from the cost and expense of defending against the same or the settlement thereof, including attorneys’ fees. Lessee agrees to pay any judgment which may be obtained against Lessor in any such event, or on account thereof.

It is intended by this paragraph that each party hereby waives his or its insurance company’s right of subrogation contained in any policy of insurance that such party may carry to protect its property, whether real, personal or mixed, under which policy the insurance company pays the loss and thus to prevent such insurance company from bringing any action to recover any moneys paid pursuant to said policy.

At any time within six (6) months prior to the expiration of this lease or any extension, Lessor, after first having notified Lessee in writing, may show the premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, but Lessor may not attach to the building or erect on the Premises a notice advertising said property for sale or lease.

 

  

4

  

 

Article 10

 

DEFAULT BY LESSEE

 

Lessor shall not declare a default hereunder because of failure to pay any rentals when due, or to comply with any other terms of this Lease Agreement, without first giving Lessee fifteen (15) days written notice of its intention to do so with respect to the payment of rentals or other monies due hereunder or thirty (30) days written notice with respect to any other default. If during said fifteen (15) or thirty (30) day period as the case may be, Lessee shall pay said rental or remedy the default in the terms of the Lease in regard to which default has been made, then the right of the Lessor to declare a default under this lease shall cease and this Lease shall continue as though no default has been made, EXCEPT, if Lessor has give notice of default for non-payment on three separate occasions, during any twelve month period, Lessor shall have the following options in addition to any other legal options available to Lessor:

If Lessee shall not remove all effects from the Premises in a commercially reasonable time, Lessor may, at its option, remove any or all effects in any manner it shall choose and store the same without liability for loss, and Lessee shall pay Lessor, on demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and storage of said effects for any length of time during which the same shall be in Lessor’s possession or storage.

 

	
  

	
(d)

It is further understood that notice of default from the Lessor shall be a valid notice of default if issued by the City Manager, City Clerk, or City Attorney, regardless of formal action or approval by the governing body of the City of Coweta, and that the lack of formal approval by the governing body shall not constitute grounds for legal challenge to the sufficiency of any notice of default

OPTION AGREEMENT

 

In consideration of Accu-Tec Enterprises, Ltd. (“Optionee”) meeting all obligations as stated herein, the City of Coweta, Oklahoma (“Optionor”) hereby grants the Optionee an option to purchase under the following terms:

 

	
  

	
1

	
Commencing on the date of the first payment by the Optionee to the Optionor for lease or rental of improved real property as described on the attached Exhibit “A” (the “Property”), and ending on the end of the twentieth (20th) year after the date of such first payment, the Optionee shall have an option to purchase the Property owned by Optionor.

 

	
  

	
2

	
The Option Price shall be the then outstanding balance of all promissory notes or other debt instruments secured by the Property, but shall include only those debts entered into to allow the Optionee to purchase the Property and erect the initial improvements on said real property, together with the amount of any sums paid the Optionor on said promissory notes prior to the occupancy of the Property by the Optionee for which Optionor has not been reimbursed by the Optionee.

 

	
  

	
3

	
Optionee has paid the sum of $100.00 as non-refundable option consideration which will be applied toward the purchase price of the property if, and only if, Optionee exercises this Option to purchase. In the event Optionee fails to exercise the Option or defaults under any terms of the attached lease, this Option will be void and all monies will be retained by Optionor as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.

 

	
  

	
4

	
The recording of this Option or any memorandum thereof will result in the automatic revocation of this Option, and all monies will be retained by Optionor as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. In addition, Optionee will be liable to Optionor for all incidental and consequential damages for slander of title, including, but not limited to, attorneys fees and court costs for correcting title.

 

	
  

	
5

	
This Option, or any interest therein, is not transferable or assignable and can only be exercised by the individuals signing this Option acting in unison for Optionee’s principal residence.

This purchase option is NOT contingent upon Optionee’s ability to obtain financing from a lender or any other reason. Optionee understands that TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE for this agreement, and that Optionee’s failure to purchase the property before the expiration of the Option for any reason (or if Optionee defaults under any of the terms of a lease agreement for the above stated property), all monies paid by Optionee will be retained by Optionor. Optionor and Optionee further agree that this agreement is not an installment land contract, contract-for-deed or equitable mortgage, but merely a statement of Optionee’s right to purchase the above-referenced property under the terms stated above, and that Optionee is under no legal responsibility to purchase the property.
