Improvements, and, as determined by the City's representative, a City gas, storm, wastewater, or water

City inspector at a daily rate of $286.80 for any portion of a day spent inspecting construction,
maintenance, repair, replacement, or relocation of said utility lines and equipment pursuant to this
paragraph. A franchisee whose franchisee improvements are damaged will follow the same process as

D. The failure of City or Lessee to insist on strict performance of any of the terms, covenants, or
conditions of this Lease is not a waiver of any right or remedy that City or Lessee may have and is
not a waiver of the right to require strict performance of all the terms, covenants and conditions of
the Lease thereafter nor is deemed to be a waiver of any remedy for the subsequent breach or
default of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease.
29. REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. It is Lessee's responsibility to remove its personal
property of every kind and type from the Premises prior to termination or expiration of the Lease.

the purpose of assigning, exploring, prospecting, mining, drilling, developing, producing, saving,
transporting, storing, treating, removing, and owning the reserved minerals and oil and gas in the

Premises.
D. It is understood and agreed by Lessee that the City retains sole authority to negotiate
settlement of any and all claims for damage by reason of activities in connection with the
operation, development, and exploration for oil, gas, and other minerals on the Premises. Lessee
shall promptly notify the City of any and all damages to the Premises and/or crops growing
thereon that may be occasioned by operation, development, or exploration for oil, gas, or other
minerals, or that may be occasioned by any other activity during the Lease term, which Lessee
observes, learns of, or has reason to be made aware of any such damage.

the City, or any entity with legal authority to exercise eminent domain rights, for any public use or
purpose, then and in that event, the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate from the date when
possession of the part or whole so taken or condemned is required for such use or purpose. If less
than a substantial part of the Premises are taken or condemned by the City and, as a result thereof,

possible partial Lease Payment refund, if any, may be submitted in writing by Lessee to the City for
consideration.

to the leasehold estate of Lessee created under that certain Lease
effective on October 1, 2018, by and between the City of Corpus Christi
and Lessee, and that this instrument does not affect the fee simple
interest in the Premises owned by the City of Corpus Christi. In the event
of any foreclosure by any lender of a lien or liens on the Lessee's

Improvements, and, as determined by the City's representative, a City gas, storm, wastewater, or water

replacements. For purposes of calculating time, a half-day of four hours or more constitutes a whole
working day; any work time in excess of eight hours a day or which occurs on a Saturday, Sunday, or a
holiday will be calculated at a daily rate of$53.77 an hour. An additional fee will be due for the cost of a
City inspector at a daily rate of $286.80 for any portion of a day spent inspecting construction,
maintenance, repair, replacement, or relocation of said utility lines and equipment pursuant to this
paragraph. A franchisee whose franchisee improvements are damaged will follow the same process as

may terminate this Lease following written notice to Lessee of the default and a reasonable
opportunity to cure. Upon the occurrence of any uncured event of default, the City may, at its
option, in addition to any other remedy or right given hereunder or by law, give notice to Lessee
that this Lease terminates upon the date specified in the notice. Once terminated, the City has
the right, without further notice to Lessee, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons
therefrom without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass and also without prejudice to
any remedies against Lessee for arrears of rent or breach of covenant.

C. In the event Lessee has paid the full cash rent at the start of the Lease or any applicable
annual Anniversary Date, Lessee shall have the right to harvest any existing crops that have been
planted prior to the termination of the Lease.
D. The failure of City or Lessee to insist on strict performance of any of the terms, covenants, or
conditions of this Lease is not a waiver of any right or remedy that City or Lessee may have and is
not a waiver of the right to require strict performance of all the terms, covenants and conditions of
the Lease thereafter nor is deemed to be a waiver of any remedy for the subsequent breach or
default of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease.
29. REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. It is Lessee's responsibility to remove its personal
property of every kind and type from the Premises prior to termination or expiration of the Lease.

lessee is not willing to take the property subject to this Lease and demands immediate
possession, then the Lessee agrees to vacate within 30 days following receipt of the notice to
vacate. Should it become necessary for Lessee to vacate in case of a sale or lease, then, the City
will pay Lessee, for the Premises or portion thereof vacated, the following amounts, to-wit: a
proportionate share of the then-applicable annual Lease Payment paid, which share is determined
by dividing (i) the number of days of the term remaining after vacation by Lessee by (ii) the total
number of days in the term, and multiplying the resulting percentage by the annual Lease
Payment amount paid by Lessee.
B. The City reserves and excepts from this Lease those easements reasonably necessary for
the purpose of assigning, exploring, prospecting, mining, drilling, developing, producing, saving,
transporting, storing, treating, removing, and owning the reserved minerals and oil and gas in the
Premises to the extent such easements are implied under Texas common law to allow access to
severed estates.
C. City retains the right to use or cross the Premises with utility lines and easements. City may
exercise these rights without compensation to Lessee for damages to the Premises from
installing, maintaining, repairing, or removing the utility lines and easements. City must use
reasonable judgment in locating the utility lines and easements to minimize damage to the
Premises.
D. It is understood and agreed by Lessee that the City retains sole authority to negotiate
settlement of any and all claims for damage by reason of activities in connection with the
