Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damages to property or injury to persons in, or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever, except that which is caused by the failure of Landlord to perform any maintenance or repairs required of it hereunder within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from Tenant of the need for such maintenance or repair, or which arises solely from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct on the part of Landlord, its servants, agents, employees or contractors. The indemnity obligations of the parties herein shall survive the termination of this Rental Agreement for any reason.
13. Insurance. Tenant agrees for the entire term of this Rental Agreement at its own expense to obtain and maintain general liability insurance with a company or companies authorized to do business in the State of Georgia and approved by Landlord, insuring Tenant against injury or claims of injury to person or persons and damage or claims for appurtenances thereof. Said insurance shall be in the minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in the event of personal injury or death arising out of any one occurrence and Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) for damage to property arising out of any one occurrence, such limits to be for any greater amounts as may be reasonably indicated by circumstances from time to time existing. Such policy or policies shall name Landlord and its property manager as additional insureds.
Tenant agrees at its own cost and expense to maintain and keep in force during the term of the Agreement “plate glass insurance” on all plate glass on the Premises to the extent of the replacement value thereof, and such insurance shall name Landlord as an additional insured.
Tenant agrees at its own cost and expense to maintain and keep in force during the term of this Rental Agreement insurance on all leasehold improvements, fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other personal property of Tenant (whether in, on or about the Premises) to the extent of the full insurable value thereof against loss or damage by fire to include extended coverage. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no duty or obligation to provide insurance against loss or damage for Tenant’s leasehold improvements, fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other personal property.
Tenant agrees that if its use of the Premises in any way results in the increase of the rate of fire insurance upon the Premises or upon the building of which the Premises are a part, over the rate existing for the same amount of coverage to Landlord as of the date of this Rental Agreement, or the same rate existing at any time during the term hereof for the use of the Premises, then Tenant agrees, upon receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord, to pay Landlord as additional rental each year a sum equal to the increase in the annual premium of such insurance.
Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord copies of the insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant or certificates thereof prior to Tenant taking possession of the Premises and thereafter from time to time whenever requested by Landlord. Said insurance policy shall provide that it may not be canceled or altered without twenty (20) days prior written notice to Landlord.
Landlord and Tenant agree, provided such agreement does not invalidate or prejudice any policy of insurance, that, in the event the Premises, or the fixtures or contents therein, are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty that is covered by insurance of the Landlord or the Tenant, the rights, if any, of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, against the other or the agents, servants, employees, invitees or contractors of the other, with respect to such damage or destruction and with respect to any loss resulting therefrom, including the interruption of the business of any of the parties, are hereby waived to the extent of the coverage of said insurance. Landlord and Tenant also agree that all policies of fire, extended coverage, business interruption and other insurance covering the Premises, or the contents, fixtures and improvements therein shall, if obtainable, contain a clause or endorsement providing in substance that the insurance shall not be prejudiced if the assureds have waived right of recovery from any person or persons prior to the date and time of the loss or damage.
14. Fire and Casualty. If at any time during the term of this Rental Agreement, the Premises or the building of which it is part should be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty such that Tenant is unable to continue to use and occupy the Premises then Landlord or Tenant shall have the privilege of terminating this Rental Agreement by giving written notice to the other within five (5) days from the date of the event causing such damage. If either party terminates this Rental Agreement, any advance rents covering the period of time after the date of such damage shall be refunded to Tenant, less any amounts then owed by Tenant to Landlord. If neither party exercises its right to terminate this Rental agreement as provided above, the rents due hereunder shall abate for the remainder of the current monthly term until repairs are made and the Premises are suitable for occupancy once again, subject to either party’s right at any time to terminate this Rental Agreement on thirty days notice as set forth in Section 2, above.
15. Condemnation. If the whole of the Premises, or such portions thereof as would make the Premises unusable for the purpose for which the Premises is rented, shall be appropriated, condemned or taken pursuant to a power of eminent domain by any public or quasi-public authority, then this Rental Agreement shall terminate as of the date when title is taken by said public or quasi-public authority and the rental due from Tenant for the month in which such event occurs shall be pro rated as of such date. All damages awarded for the taking of said Premises, or any part thereof, shall be payable to and be the property of Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled to pursue any separate claims Tenant may have for damages suffered by Tenant arising out of any such condemnation.

In the event of the death of Tenant, Landlord, at its election, may terminate this Rental Agreement by giving not less than ten (10) days written notice thereof to the administrator or executor of the estate of Tenant and take possession of the Premises.

Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all claims, demands, damages, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by Tenant as a result of or for Landlord exercising its rights hereunder in taking possession of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 17.
