You shall take good care of the Premises maintaining all the personal property, equipment, furnishings and furniture in good condition and in good repair during the lease agreement’s Term. Unless You have rented the Premises for exclusive use during Your Term, at the conclusion of each period within the Term (each class or rehearsal time), as well as at the expiration of the Term, You will surrender the Premises in good condition.

12. Insurance. Unless waived by CFPA in writing, You agree to purchase, in advance, and to carry in full force and effect: (i) “all risk” property insurance covering the full replacement value of all of Your leasehold improvements, trade fixtures and personal property within the Premises, Hayes and Associates, Inc. and Center for Performing Arts Minneapolis and CFPA Development Project, LLC, shall be named as loss payee under all such policies; and (ii) commercial general liability insurance, providing coverage on an “occurrence” rather than a “claims made” basis, which policy includes coverage for bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, contractual liability, and independent contractors, in current Insurance Services Office form or other form which provides coverage at least as broad. You shall maintain a combined policy limit of at least One million Dollars ($1,000,000) applying to bodily injury, property damage and personal injury, which limit may be satisfied by Your basic policy, or by the basic policy in combination with umbrella or excess policies so long as the coverage is at least as broad as that required here. Center for Performing Arts Minneapolis and CFPA Development Project LLC shall be named as additional insured under all such policies. You shall, no less than three (3) days prior to entry by You on the Premises, deliver to CFPA evidence that the insurance required by this lease agreement is in full force and effect, and You shall, no less than ten (10) days prior to expiration of any such coverage, deliver evidence that the coverage in question will be renewed or replaced upon expiration. Such evidence shall contain sufficient information to enable CFPA to determine whether Your insurance complies with the requirements of this lease agreement.
13. Legal Compliance, Taxes. You shall promptly execute and comply with all statutes, ordinances, rules, orders, regulations, and requirements of the federal, state, and city government and of any departments and bureaus applicable to the Premises, for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances or other grievances upon or connected with the Premises during the Term. This obligation includes, without limitation promptly delivering to CFPA the Minnesota Form ST19, Operator Certificate of Compliance (if required) or paying any entertainment and sales taxes and fees for licenses. Note, for example, that in Minnesota, non-resident artists may be required to file Form ETR, Nonresident Entertainer Tax Return, by April 15 to report earnings and artist promotors may be required to withhold 2% from gross compensation paid for performances in Minnesota.
14. Copyright and Other IP Rights. You will not use any work of intellectual property in the performance of this lease agreement unless You are the author or owner of the work; have a valid license to use the work during the Term; or Your use is highly likely to be deemed a ‘fair use’ by a court of competent jurisdiction. You acknowledge that CFPA does not monitor Your use of intellectual property nor does CFPA review the promotion of Your use of the Premises during the Term (i.e., Tenant’s marketing). As a result, CFPA’s silence regarding Your use of any intellectual property shall not be deemed a waiver of this provision even if it is likely CFPA has some exposure to, or awareness of, Your use of the intellectual property.
15. Indemnification. You shall indemnify and hold CFPA Development Project LLC, Hayes and Associates, Inc. and Center for Performing Arts Minneapolis and its directors, officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers free and harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages or injuries, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death and copyright infringement, to the extent arising out of or incident to any negligent acts, omissions or the willful misconduct of Your officials, officers, employees, agents, consultants and independent contractors arising out of this lease agreement, including but not limited to the payment of all consequential damages and attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, and other related costs and expenses.
16. Release and Waiver.
Tenant Release. Notwithstanding anything apparently to the contrary in this lease agreement, CFPA and its partners, officers and employees shall not be liable to You, and You hereby release such parties from all damage, compensation or claims from any cause other than the intentional misconduct of CFPA or its partners, agents, officers or employees arising from: loss or damage to personal property or trade fixtures in the Premises including books, records, files, computer equipment, stage and lighting equipment, stage properties, computer data, money, securities, lost business or other consequential damages arising out of an interruption in the use of the Premises; and any criminal act by any person other than CFPA or its partners, agents, officers or employees.
Photographs, Images, and Likeness. You further acknowledge CFPA and its agents may, from time to time, photograph, write about, videotape or otherwise represent Your likeness in promotions or marketing materials. Therefore, You give CFPA absolute and irrevocable right and permission, with respect to the photographs, videos, images, or other representations (collectively, the “Images”) CFPA makes of You to use, re-use, publish and re-publish the Images in whole or in part, severally or in conjunction with other images, in any medium and for any purpose whatsoever, including (but not by way of limitation) illustration, promotion and advertising, and trade; and use Your name in connection with the Images if CFPA so chooses.
17. Disclaimer. You acknowledge that neither CFPA nor any officer, employee or agent of CFPA has made any representations or warranties regarding the condition of the Premises, except as expressly set forth in this lease agreement, and no rights, privileges, easements or licenses are acquired by You except as expressly set forth in this lease agreement.

THE PREMISES MAY CONTAIN DEFECTS UNKNOWN TO CFPA. YOU HAVE NOT AND DO NOT RELY ON CFPA’s SKILL OR JUDGMENT WITH REGARD TO THE SELECTION OF THE PREMISES AS FIT OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
18. Default. An “Event of Default” includes Your failure to pay any rent, failure to make any other payment anticipated by this lease agreement, or failure to perform (or violation of) any other condition, covenant, rule or agreement made herein.
If an Event of Default occurs, CFPA may at its sole option by written notice to Tenant terminate this lease agreement. Neither the passage of time after the occurrence of the Event of Default nor exercise by CFPA of any other remedy with regard to such Event of Default shall limit CFPA’s rights under this section. If an Event of Default occurs, whether or not CFPA elects to terminate this lease agreement, CFPA may enter upon and repossess the Premises by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove You and all persons and property therefrom.
